Amos 1
1 The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds of Tekoa, which he saw about 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.
As palavras de Amós, que era dentre os pastores de Tecoa, as quais viu sobre 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 And he said: The Lord will roar from Zion, and from Jerusalem he will utter his voice. And the beautiful pastures have mourned, and the top of Carmel has become dry.
E disse: O Senhor bramará de Sião, e de Jerusalém dará a sua voz: as habitações dos pastores prantearão, e secar-se-á o cume do Carmelo.
3 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Damascus, and for four, I will not convert it, in so far as they have threshed Gilead into iron wagons.
Assim diz o Senhor: Por três transgressões de Damasco, e por quatro, não o afastarei, porque trilharam a Gilead com trilhos de ferro.
4 And I will send fire onto the house of Hazael, and it will devour the houses of Ben-hadad.
Por isso porei fogo à casa de Hazael, e consumirá os palácios de Benhadad.
5 And I will shatter the crowbar of Damascus, and I will destroy the inhabitants of the camp of the idol and the holder of the scepter of the house of pleasure; and the people of Syria will be transferred to Cyrene, says the Lord.
E quebrarei o ferrolho de Damasco, e exterminarei o morador de Biqueat-aven, e ao que tem o cetro de Beth-eden; e o povo da Síria será levado em cativeiro a Kir, diz o Senhor.
6 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Gaza, and for four, I will not convert it, in so far as they have carried out an excellent captivity, so as to enclose them in Idumea.
Assim diz o Senhor: Por três transgressões de Gaza, e por quatro, não o afastarei, porque levaram em cativeiro todos os cativos para os entregarem a Edom.
7 And I will send a fire onto the wall of Gaza, and it will devour its buildings.
Por isso porei fogo ao muro de Gaza, que consumirá os seus palácios.
8 And I will destroy the inhabitant from Ashdod, and the holder of the scepter of Ashkelon. And I will turn my hand against Ekron, and the remainder of the Philistines will perish, says the Lord God.
E exterminarei o morador de Asdod, e o que tem o cetro de Ascalon, e tornarei a minha mão contra Ecron; e o resto dos philisteus perecerá, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
9 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Tyre, and for four, I will not convert it, in so far as they have completed an excellent captivity in Idumea and have not considered the bond among brothers.
Assim diz o Senhor: Por três transgressões de Tiro, e por quatro, não o afastarei, porque entregaram todos os cativos a Edom, e não se lembraram da aliança dos irmãos.
10 And I will send a fire onto the wall of Tyre, and it will devour its buildings.
Por isso porei fogo ao muro de Tiro, que consumirá os seus palácios.
11 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Edom, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has been pursuing his brother with the sword and has outraged his brother’s compassion, and he has gone beyond his anger and has held onto his indignation until the end.
Assim diz o Senhor: Por três transgressões de Edom, e por quatro, não o afastarei, porque perseguiu a seu irmão à espada, e corrompeu as suas misericórdias; e a sua ira despedaça eternamente, e retém a sua indignação para sempre
12 I will send a fire onto Teman, and it will devour the buildings of Bozrah.
Por isso porei fogo a Teman, que consumirá os palácios de Bozra.
13 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of the sons of Ammon, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has cut up the pregnant women of Gilead, so as to expand his limits.
Assim diz o Senhor: Por três transgressões dos filhos de Ammon, e por quatro, não o afastarei, porque fenderam as grávidas de Gilead, para dilatarem os seus termos.
14 And I will ignite a fire on the wall of Rabbah. And it will devour its buildings, with wailing on the day of war, and with a whirlwind on the day of commotion.
Por isso porei fogo ao muro de Rabba, que consumirá os seus palácios, com alarido no dia da batalha, com tempestade no dia da tormenta.
15 And Melchom will go into captivity, he and his leaders together, says the Lord.
E o seu rei irá para o cativeiro, ele e os seus príncipes juntamente, diz o Senhor.
