1 Palavras que Amós, criador de ovelhas em Tecoa, recebeu em visões, a respeito de Israel dois anos antes do terremoto. Nesse tempo, Uzias era rei de Judá e Jeroboão, filho de Jeoás, era rei de Israel.

2 Ele disse: "O SENHOR ruge de Sião e troveja de Jerusalém; secam-se as pastagens dos pastores, e murcha o topo do Carmelo".

3 Assim diz o SENHOR: "Por três transgressões de Damasco e ainda mais por quatro, não anularei o castigo. Porque trilhou Gileade com trilhos de ferro pontudos,

4 porei fogo na casa de Hazael que consumirá as fortalezas de Ben-Hadade.

5 Derrubarei a porta de Damasco; destruirei o rei que está no vale de Áven e aquele que segura o cetro em Bete-Éden. O povo da Síria irá para o exílio em Quir", diz o SENHOR.

6 Assim diz o SENHOR: "Por três transgressões de Gaza, e ainda mais por quatro, não anularei o castigo. Porque levou cativas comunidades inteiras e as vendeu a Edom,

7 porei fogo nos muros de Gaza, que consumirá as suas fortalezas.

8 Destruirei o rei de Asdode e aquele que segura o cetro em Ascalom. Erguerei a minha mão contra Ecrom, até que morra o último dos filisteus", diz o SENHOR Soberano.

9 Assim diz o SENHOR: "Por três transgressões de Tiro, e ainda mais por quatro, não anularei o castigo. Porque vendeu comunidades inteiras de cativos a Edom, desprezando irmãos,

10 porei fogo nos muros de Tiro, que consumirá as suas fortalezas".

11 Assim diz o SENHOR: "Por três transgressões de Edom, e ainda mais por quatro, não anularei o castigo. Porque com a espada perseguiu seu irmão, e reprimiu toda a compaixão, mutilando-o furiosamente e perpetuando para sempre a sua ira,

12 porei fogo em Temã, que consumirá as fortalezas de Bozra".

13 Assim diz o SENHOR: "Por três transgressões de Amom, e ainda mais por quatro, não anularei o castigo. Porque rasgou ao meio as grávidas de Gileade a fim de ampliar as suas fronteiras,

14 porei fogo nos muros de Rabá, que consumirá as suas fortalezas em meio a gritos de guerra no dia do combate, em meio a ventos violentos num dia de tempestade.

15 O seu rei irá para o exílio, ele e toda a sua corte", diz o SENHOR.

1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa; what 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 earth-shock.

2 And he said, The Lord will give a lion's cry from Zion, his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the fields of the keepers of sheep will become dry, and the top of Carmel will be wasted away.

3 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have been crushing Gilead with iron grain-crushing instruments.

4 And I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, burning up the great houses of Ben-hadad.

5 And I will have the locks of the door of Damascus broken, and him who is seated in power cut off from the valley of Aven, and him in whose hand is the rod from the house of Eden; and the people of Aram will go away as prisoners into Kir, says the Lord.

6 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give them up to Edom.

7 And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, burning up its great houses:

8 Him who is seated in power I will have cut off from Ashdod, and him in whose hand is the rod from Ashkelon; and my hand will be turned against Ekron, and the rest of the Philistines will come to destruction, says the Lord God.

9 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.

10 And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, burning up its great houses.

11 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.

12 And I will send a fire on Teman, burning up the great houses of Bozrah.

13 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because in Gilead they had women with child cut open, so that they might make wider the limits of their land.

14 And I will make a fire in the wall of Rabbah, burning up its great houses, with loud cries in the days of war, with a storm in the day of the great wind:

15 And their king will be made prisoner, he and his captains together, says the Lord.
