< Amos 1 >

1 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.
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 Kinunana, “Agungor ni Yahweh idiay Sion; ipigsana ti timekna idiay Jerusalem. Agladingit dagiti pagpapaaraban dagiti agpaspastor, aglaylay ti tuktok ti Carmel.”
He said: “Yahweh will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds will mourn, and the top of Carmel will wither.”
3 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.
Yahweh says: “For three transgressions of Damascus, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron;
4 Mangidissuorakto iti apuy iti balay ni Hazael ket mapuoranto dagiti sarikedked ti Ben Hadad.
but I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it will devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.
5 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.
I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, and him who holds the scepter from the house of Eden; and the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir,” says Yahweh.
6 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.
Yahweh says: “For three transgressions of Gaza, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they carried away captive the whole community, to deliver them up to Edom;
7 Mangidissuorakto iti apuy kadagiti pader ti Gaza ket mapuoranto dagiti sarikedkedna.
but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it will devour its palaces.
8 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.
I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon; and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines will perish,” says the Lord Yahweh.
9 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.
Yahweh says: “For three transgressions of Tyre, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they delivered up the whole community to Edom, and didn’t remember the brotherly covenant;
10 Mangidissuorakto iti apuy kadagiti pader ti Tiro ket daytoyto ti mangkisap kadagiti sarikedkedna.
but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it will devour its palaces.”
11 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.
Yahweh says: “For three transgressions of Edom, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because he pursued his brother with the sword and cast off all pity, and his anger raged continually, and he kept his wrath forever;
12 Mangidissuorakto iti apuy idiay Teman ket daytoyto ti mangkisap kadagiti palasio ti Bozra.”
but I will send a fire on Teman, and it will devour the palaces of Bozrah.”
13 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.
Yahweh says: “For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border.
14 Pasgedakto dagiti pader ti Raba ket mapuoranto dagiti palasio, nga addaan panagpukkaw iti aldaw ti gubat, nga addaan iti bagyo iti aldaw ti alipugpog.
But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it will devour its palaces, with shouting in the day of battle, with a storm in the day of the whirlwind;
15 Maitalawto a kas balud ti arida ken dagiti opisialesna,” kuna ni Yahweh.
and their king will go into captivity, he and his princes together,” says Yahweh.
