Amós 1
1 Palabras de Amós, uno de los pastores de Tecoa. Visión que tuvo sobre Israel en los días de Uzías, rey de Judá, y en los días de Jeroboam, hijo de Joás, rey de Israel, dos años antes del terremoto.
The words of 'Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he foresaw concerning Israel in the days of 'Uzziyah the king of Judah, and in the days of Jerobo'am the son of Joash the king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
