1 Oráculos de Amós, que foi um dos pastores de Técua. Revelações que recebeu acerca de Israel no tempo de Ozias, rei de Judá, e de Jeroboão, filho de Joás, rei de Israel, dois anos antes do tremor de terra.

2 Ele diz: O Senhor rugirá de Sião, trovejará de Jerusalém; os prados dos pastores estarão de luto, o cume do Carmelo secará.

3 Oráculo do Senhor: Por causa do triplo e do quádruplo crime de Damasco, não mudarei meu decreto. Porque esmagaram Galaad com grades de ferro,

4 porei fogo à casa de Hazael, e esse fogo devorará os palácios de Ben-Hadad.

5 Quebrarei os ferrolhos de Damasco, exterminarei os habitantes de Biqat-Aven e o que tem na mão o cetro em Bet-Eden. E o povo da Síria será deportado para Quir, diz o Senhor.

6 Oráculo do Senhor: Por causa do triplo e do quádruplo crime de Gaza, não mudarei meu decreto. Porque deportaram uma multidão de exilados, para entregá-los a Edom,

7 porei fogo aos muros de Gaza, e esse fogo devorará os seus palácios.

8 Exterminarei os habitantes de Azot, e o que tem na mão o cetro em Ascalon. Voltarei minha mão contra Acaron para aniquilar o resto dos filisteus, diz o Senhor Javé.

9 Oráculo do Senhor: Por causa do triplo e do quádruplo crime de Tiro, não mudarei meu decreto. Porque entregaram uma multidão de cativos a Edom, e não se lembraram do pacto fraterno,

10 porei fogo aos muros de Tiro para que esse fogo devore os seus palácios.

11 Oráculo do Senhor: Por causa do triplo e do quádruplo crime de Edom, não mudarei meu decreto. Porque perseguiu seu irmão com a espada abafando toda a compaixão, e porque sua cólera não cessa de despedaçar, e persiste em guardar perpetuamente rancor,

12 porei fogo em Temã, o qual devorará os palácios de Bosra.

13 Oráculo do Senhor: Por causa do triplo e do quádruplo crime dos amonitas, não mudarei meu decreto. Porque rasgaram os ventres das mulheres grávidas de Galaad, a fim de dilatar suas fronteiras,

14 porei fogo aos muros de Rabá, para que devore seus palácios. Em meio aos gritos de guerra no dia da batalha, no meio do turbilhão, no dia da tempestade,

15 seu rei irá para o exílio com seus chefes, 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.
