Amos 1
New King James Version
Judgments on Israel’s Neighbors
1 The words of Amos, who was among the (A)sheepbreeders of (B)Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of (C)Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of (D)Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the (E)earthquake.
2 And he said:
“The Lord (F)roars from Zion,
And utters His voice from Jerusalem;
The pastures of the shepherds mourn,
And the top of (G)Carmel withers.”
Judgment on the Nations
3 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (H)Damascus, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they have (I)threshed Gilead with implements of iron.
4 (J)But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael,
Which shall devour the palaces of (K)Ben-Hadad.
5 I will also break the gate (L)bar of Damascus,
And cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Aven,
And the one who [a]holds the scepter from [b]Beth Eden.
The people of Syria shall go captive to Kir,”
Says the Lord.
6 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (M)Gaza, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they took captive the whole captivity
To deliver them up to Edom.
7 (N)But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza,
Which shall devour its palaces.
8 I will cut off the inhabitant (O)from Ashdod,
And the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
I will (P)turn My hand against Ekron,
And (Q)the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”
Says the Lord God.
9 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (R)Tyre, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom,
And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.
10 But I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre,
Which shall devour its palaces.”
11 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (S)Edom, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because he pursued his (T)brother with the sword,
And cast off all pity;
His anger tore perpetually,
And he kept his wrath forever.
12 But (U)I will send a fire upon Teman,
Which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.”
13 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (V)the people of Ammon, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they ripped open the women with child in Gilead,
That they might enlarge their territory.
14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of (W)Rabbah,
And it shall devour its palaces,
(X)Amid shouting in the day of battle,
And a tempest in the day of the whirlwind.
15 (Y)Their king shall go into captivity,
He and his princes together,”
Says the Lord.
Amós 1
Nueva Traducción Viviente
1 Este mensaje fue dado a Amós, un pastor de ovejas de la ciudad de Tecoa, en Judá. Él recibió el mensaje por medio de visiones, dos años antes del terremoto, cuando Uzías era rey de Judá y Jeroboam II, hijo de Yoás,[a] era rey de Israel.
2 Esto es lo que vio y oyó:
«¡La voz del Señor rugirá desde el monte Sion;
su voz tronará desde Jerusalén!
Los buenos pastizales de los pastores se secarán,
y la hierba del monte Carmelo se marchitará y morirá».
Juicio contra las naciones vecinas
3 Esto es lo que dice el Señor:
«¡Los habitantes de Damasco han pecado una y otra vez[b]
y no permitiré que queden sin castigo!
Azotaron a mi gente en Galaad
como se separa el grano con trillos de hierro.
4 Por lo tanto, haré caer fuego sobre el palacio del rey Hazael,
y las fortalezas del rey Ben-adad serán destruidas.
5 Derribaré las puertas de Damasco
y masacraré a los habitantes en el valle de Avén.
Destruiré al gobernante de Bet-edén,
y los habitantes de Aram serán llevados cautivos a Kir»,
dice el Señor.
6 Esto es lo que dice el Señor:
«¡Los habitantes de Gaza han pecado una y otra vez
y no permitiré que queden sin castigo!
Enviaron a pueblos enteros al destierro
y los vendieron como esclavos a Edom.
7 Por lo tanto, haré caer fuego sobre los muros de Gaza,
y todas sus fortalezas serán destruidas.
8 Masacraré a los habitantes de Asdod
y destruiré al rey de Ascalón.
Después me volveré para atacar a Ecrón,
y los pocos filisteos que queden morirán»,
dice el Señor Soberano.
9 Esto es lo que dice el Señor:
«¡Los habitantes de Tiro han pecado una y otra vez
y no permitiré que queden sin castigo!
Rompieron su pacto de hermandad con Israel
al vender aldeas enteras como esclavas a Edom.
10 Por lo tanto, haré caer fuego sobre los muros de Tiro,
y todas sus fortalezas serán destruidas».
11 Esto es lo que dice el Señor:
«¡Los habitantes de Edom han pecado una y otra vez
y no permitiré que queden sin castigo!
Espada en mano, persiguieron a sus parientes, los israelitas,
y no les tuvieron compasión.
En su furia, los apuñalaron continuamente
y fueron implacables en su enojo.
12 Por lo tanto, haré caer fuego sobre Temán,
y las fortalezas de Bosra serán destruidas».
13 Esto es lo que dice el Señor:
«¡Los habitantes de Amón han pecado una y otra vez
y no permitiré que queden sin castigo!
Cuando atacaron a Galaad para extender sus fronteras,
con sus espadas abrieron a las mujeres embarazadas.
14 Por lo tanto, haré caer fuego sobre los muros de Rabá,
y todas sus fortalezas serán destruidas.
La batalla vendrá sobre ellos con gritos,
como un torbellino en una tormenta impetuosa.
15 Y su rey[c] y sus príncipes irán juntos al destierro»,
dice el Señor.
Amos 1
King James Version
1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen 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 And he said, The Lord will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
3 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
5 I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the Lord.
6 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:
7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof:
8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord God.
9 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:
10 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof.
11 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:
14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:
15 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the Lord.
