Amos 1
1 This is the message that [Yahweh] gave to [me], Amos. I am a (shepherd/man who takes care of sheep). I am from [near] Tekoa [town south of Jerusalem]. I received this message about Israel in a vision two years before the [big] earthquake. It was when Uzziah was the king of Judah, and Jeroboam, the son of [King] Jehoash, was the king of Israel.
Dagitoy dagiti banbanag maipapan iti Israel a naawat ni Amos a maysa kadagiti agpaspastor idiay Tekoa babaen iti paltiing. Naawatna dagitoy a banbanag kadagiti aldaw a ni Uzzias ti ari ti Juda ken kadagiti aldaw a ti ari ti Israel ket ni Jereboam a putot a lalaki ni Joas, dua a tawen sakbay ti ginggined.
2 This is what Yahweh said: “I will roar [like a lion] [MET]; when I speak from Zion [Hill in] Jerusalem [DOU], my voice will [resemble the sound of] thunder. [When that happens], the pastures where you shepherds [take care of] your sheep will dry up, and [the grass] on top of Carmel [Mountain] will (wither/become brown) [because I will cause that no rain will fall].”
Kinunana, “Agungor ni Yahweh idiay Sion; ipigsana ti timekna idiay Jerusalem. Agladingit dagiti pagpapaaraban dagiti agpaspastor, aglaylay ti tuktok ti Carmel.”
3 This is [also] what Yahweh said [to me]: “[I will punish the people of] Damascus, [the capital of Syria, ] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not [change my mind about punishing them] [MTY], because [the cruel things that they did to the people of the] Gilead [region] [were like] [MET] people threshing grain using sledges [that have (iron teeth/sharp iron nails) in them].
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Gapu iti tallo a basol ti Damasco, wenno gapu iti uppat, saanko nga ibabawi ti pannusa gapu ta inirikda ti Galaad babaen kadagiti landok a maar-aramat a pag-irik.
4 I will cause a fire to burn the palace [that King] Hazael [built and lived in], the fortress where [his son King] Ben-Hadad [also] lived.
Mangidissuorakto iti apuy iti balay ni Hazael ket mapuoranto dagiti sarikedked ti Ben Hadad.
5 I will cause the gates of Damascus to be broken [down]; I will get rid of the king who rules in Aven Valley and the one who rules in Beth Eden. And the people of Syria will be captured and taken to the Kir [region where they originally lived].”
Tukkolekto dagiti balunet ti ruangan ti Damasco ken parmekekto ti tao nga agnanaed idiay Biqat Aven kasta met ti tao a mangig-iggem iti setro a nagtaud idiay Beteden; dagiti tattao ti Aram ket maitalawdanto kas balud idiay Kir,” kuna ni Yahweh.
6 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “[I will punish the people of the cities in Philistia]: [I will punish the people of] Gaza [city] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they captured large groups of people and took them to Edom and sold them to become the slaves of [the people of] Edom.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Gapu iti tallo a basol ti Gaza, wenno gapu iti uppat, saanko nga ibabawi ti pannusa gapu ta intalawda a kas balud ti maysa a bunggoy ti tattao tapno iyawatda ida iti Edom.
7 I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Gaza and [also] destroy its fortresses.
Mangidissuorakto iti apuy kadagiti pader ti Gaza ket mapuoranto dagiti sarikedkedna.
8 I will get rid of the king of Ashdod [city] and the king who rules [MTY] in Ashkelon [city]. I will [also] strike/punish [the people of] Ekron [city], and [all] the people of Philistia who are still alive will be killed.”
Dadaelekto ti tao nga agnanaed idiay Asdod ken ti tao a mangig-iggem iti setro a nagtaud idiay Askelon. Ibaw-ingkonto ti imak a maibusor iti Ekron, ket matayto dagiti nabati a Filisteo,” kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo.
9 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “[I will punish the people of] Tyre [city] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they [also] captured large groups of our people and took them to Edom, disregarding the treaty of friendship that they had made [with your rulers].
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Gapu iti tallo a basol ti Tiro, wenno gapu iti uppat, saanko nga ibabawi ti pannusa gapu ta inyawatda ti maysa a bunggoy ti tattao iti Edom ken sinalungasingda ti tulagan ti panagkakabsatda.
10 So I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Tyre and [also] destroy its fortresses.”
Mangidissuorakto iti apuy kadagiti pader ti Tiro ket daytoyto ti mangkisap kadagiti sarikedkedna.
11 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “I will punish [the people of] Edom because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they pursued the people [of Israel], who descended from Esau’s [brother Jacob, and killed them] with swords; they did not act mercifully toward them at all. They were extremely angry [with the people of Israel], and they continued to be angry [with them].
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Gapu iti tallo a basol ti Edom, wenno gapu iti uppat, saanko nga ibabawi ti pannusa gapu ta kinamatna ti kabsatna babaen iti kampilan ken saan pulos a naasi. Saan a nagsardeng ti ungetna ken awan patingga ti pungtotna.
12 I will cause a fire to burn Teman [district in Edom] and completely burn the fortresses of Bozrah, [the biggest city in Edom].”
Mangidissuorakto iti apuy idiay Teman ket daytoyto ti mangkisap kadagiti palasio ti Bozra.”
13 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “I will punish [the people of] Ammon because of the many sins that [they] have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because [their soldiers even] ripped open [the bellies of] pregnant women [when their army attacked] the Gilead [region] to gain more territory.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Gapu iti tallo a basol dagiti tattao ti Amon, wenno gapu iti uppat, saanko nga ibabawi ti pannusa gapu ta binutiakanda dagiti masikog a babbai iti Galaad tapno mapalawada dagiti beddengda.
14 I will cause a fire to [completely] burn the walls around Rabbah [city] and completely burn its fortresses. During that battle, [their enemies] will shout loudly and the fighting will be [like] [MET] a fierce/raging wind/storm.
Pasgedakto dagiti pader ti Raba ket mapuoranto dagiti palasio, nga addaan panagpukkaw iti aldaw ti gubat, nga addaan iti bagyo iti aldaw ti alipugpog.
15 [After the battle], the king [of Ammon] and his officials will be (exiled/forced to go to another country).”
Maitalawto a kas balud ti arida ken dagiti opisialesna,” kuna ni Yahweh.
