1 Palavras que, em visão, vieram a Amós, que era entre os pastores de Tecoa, a respeito de Israel, nos dias de Uzias, rei de Judá, e nos dias de Jeroboão, filho de Joás, rei de Israel, dois anos antes do terremoto. 2 Ele disse: O Senhor rugirá de Sião e de Jerusalém fará ouvir a sua voz; os prados dos pastores estarão de luto, e secar-se-á o cimo do Carmelo.

3 Assim diz o Senhor: Por três transgressões de Damasco e por quatro, não sustarei o castigo, porque trilharam a Gileade com trilhos de ferro. 4 Por isso, meterei fogo à casa de Hazael, fogo que consumirá os castelos de Ben-Hadade. 5 Quebrarei o ferrolho de Damasco e eliminarei o morador de Biqueate-Áven e ao que tem o cetro de Bete-Éden; e o povo da Síria será levado em cativeiro a Quir, diz o Senhor.

6 Assim diz o Senhor: Por três transgressões de Gaza e por quatro, não sustarei o castigo, porque levaram em cativeiro todo o povo, para o entregarem a Edom. 7 Por isso, meterei fogo aos muros de Gaza, fogo que consumirá os seus castelos. 8 Eliminarei o morador de Asdode e o que tem o cetro de Asquelom e volverei a mão contra Ecrom; e o resto dos filisteus perecerá, diz o Senhor.

9 Assim diz o Senhor: Por três transgressões de Tiro e por quatro, não sustarei o castigo, porque entregaram todos os cativos a Edom e não se lembraram da aliança de irmãos. 10 Por isso, meterei fogo aos muros de Tiro, fogo que consumirá os seus castelos.

11 Assim diz o Senhor: Por três transgressões de Edom e por quatro, não sustarei o castigo, porque perseguiu o seu irmão à espada e baniu toda a misericórdia; e a sua ira não cessou de despedaçar, e reteve a sua indignação para sempre. 12 Por isso, meterei fogo a Temã, fogo que consumirá os castelos de Bozra.

13 Assim diz o Senhor: Por três transgressões dos filhos de Amom e por quatro, não sustarei o castigo, porque rasgaram o ventre às grávidas de Gileade, para dilatarem os seus próprios limites. 14 Por isso, meterei fogo aos muros de Rabá, fogo que consumirá os seus castelos, com alarido no dia da batalha, com turbilhão no dia da tempestade. 15 O seu rei irá para o cativeiro, ele e os seus príncipes juntamente, diz o Senhor.

1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

2 And he said, Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.

3 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron. 4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad. 5 And I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden; and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith Jehovah.

6 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole people, to deliver them up to Edom: 7 but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. 8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord Jehovah.

9 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole people to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant. 10 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.

11 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever. 12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

13 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border. 14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind; 15 and their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith Jehovah.

1 The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa —the vision he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake, when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash "was king of Israel.

2 He said: "The LORD roars from Zion and thunders from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds dry up, and the top of Carmel withers."

3 This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Damascus, even for four, I will not relent. Because she threshed Gilead with sledges having iron teeth,

4 I will send fire on the house of Hazael that will consume the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.

5 I will break down the gate of Damascus; I will destroy the king who is in "the Valley of Aven "and the one who holds the scepter in Beth Eden. The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir," says the LORD.

6 This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Gaza, even for four, I will not relent. Because she took captive whole communities and sold them to Edom,

7 I will send fire on the walls of Gaza that will consume her fortresses.

8 I will destroy the king "of Ashdod and the one who holds the scepter in Ashkelon. I will turn my hand against Ekron, till the last of the Philistines are dead," says the Sovereign LORD.

9 This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Tyre, even for four, I will not relent. Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom, disregarding a treaty of brotherhood,

10 I will send fire on the walls of Tyre that will consume her fortresses."

11 This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Edom, even for four, I will not relent. Because he pursued his brother with a sword and slaughtered the women of the land, because his anger raged continually and his fury flamed unchecked,

12 I will send fire on Teman that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah."

13 This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Ammon, even for four, I will not relent. Because he ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to extend his borders,

14 I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah that will consume her fortresses amid war cries on the day of battle, amid violent winds on a stormy day.

15 Her king "will go into exile, he and his officials together," says the LORD.
