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.
Słowa Amosa, który był [jednym] spośród pasterzy z Tekoa, które widział o Izraelu za dni Uzjasza, króla Judy, i za dni Jeroboama, syna Joasza, króla Izraela, dwa lata przed trzęsieniem ziemi.
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].”
I powiedział: PAN zagrzmi z Syjonu, z Jerozolimy wyda swój głos; mieszkania pasterzy będą lamentować, a wyschnie szczyt Karmelu.
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].
Tak mówi PAN: Z powodu trzech występków Damaszku i z powodu czterech nie przepuszczę mu, ponieważ młócili Gilead narzędziami z żelaza.
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.
Ale ześlę ogień na dom Chazaela, który strawi pałace Ben-Hadada.
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].”
Połamię też rygiel Damaszku i wykorzenię mieszkańca z doliny Awen i tego, który trzyma berło z domu Eden. I lud Syrii pójdzie do niewoli do Kir, mówi PAN.
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.
Tak mówi PAN: Z powodu trzech występków Gazy i z powodu czterech nie przepuszczę im, ponieważ uprowadzili wszystkich jeńców, aby ich wydać Edomowi.
7 I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Gaza and [also] destroy its fortresses.
Ale ześlę ogień na mur Gazy, który strawi jej pałace.
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.”
Wykorzenię też mieszkańca z Aszdodu i tego, który trzyma berło z Aszkelonu, i zwrócę swoją rękę przeciwko Ekronowi, i zginie resztka Filistynów, mówi Pan BÓG.
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].
Tak mówi PAN: Z powodu trzech występków Tyru i z powodu czterech nie przepuszczę mu, ponieważ wydali wszystkich jeńców Edomowi, a nie pamiętali o braterskim przymierzu;
10 So I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Tyre and [also] destroy its fortresses.”
Ale ześlę ogień na mur Tyru, który strawi jego pałace.
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].
Tak mówi PAN: Z powodu trzech występków Edomu i z powodu czterech nie przepuszczę mu, ponieważ prześladował mieczem swego brata, tłumiąc w sobie wszelaką litość, a nieustannie pałał gniewem, swoją zapalczywość chował na zawsze.
12 I will cause a fire to burn Teman [district in Edom] and completely burn the fortresses of Bozrah, [the biggest city in Edom].”
Ale ześlę ogień na Teman i strawi pałace Bosry.
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.
Tak mówi PAN: Z powodu trzech występków synów Ammona i z powodu czterech nie przepuszczę im, ponieważ rozcinali brzemienne w Gileadzie tylko po to, by rozszerzyć swoje granice.
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.
Ale rozniecę ogień na murze Rabby, który strawi jego pałace wśród krzyku w dzień bitwy, podczas wichru w dzień burzy.
15 [After the battle], the king [of Ammon] and his officials will be (exiled/forced to go to another country).”
I pójdzie ich król do niewoli, on i jego książęta razem z nim, mówi PAN.
