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.

1 Verba Amos, qui fuit in pastoribus de Thecue, quæ vidit super Israël in diebus Oziæ, regis Juda, et in diebus Jeroboam, filii Joas, regis Israël, ante duos annos terræmotus.

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.

2 ¶ Et dixit: Dominus de Sion rugiet,
et de Jerusalem dabit vocem suam;
et luxerunt speciosa pastorum,
et exsiccatus est vertex Carmeli.

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:

3 Hæc dicit Dominus:
Super tribus sceleribus Damasci,
et super quatuor non convertam eum,
eo quod trituraverint in plaustris ferreis Galaad.

4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.

4 Et mittam ignem in domum Azaël,
et devorabit domos Benadad.

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.

5 Et conteram vectem Damasci:
et disperdam habitatorem de campo idoli,
et tenentem sceptrum de domo voluptatis:
et transferetur populus Syriæ Cyrenen,
dicit Dominus.

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:

6 Hæc dicit Dominus:
Super tribus sceleribus Gazæ,
et super quatuor non convertam eum,
eo quod transtulerint captivitatem perfectam,
ut concluderent eam in Idumæa.

7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof:

7 Et mittam ignem in murum Gazæ,
et devorabit ædes ejus.

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.

8 Et disperdam habitatorem de Azoto,
et tenentem sceptrum de Ascalone:
et convertam manum meam super Accaron,
et peribunt reliqui Philisthinorum,
dicit Dominus Deus.

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:

9 Hæc dicit Dominus:
Super tribus sceleribus Tyri,
et super quatuor non convertam eum,
eo quod concluserint captivitatem perfectam in Idumæa,
et non sint recordati fœderis fratrum.

10 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof.

10 Et mittam ignem in murum Tyri,
et devorabit ædes ejus.

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:

11 Hæc dicit Dominus:
Super tribus sceleribus Edom,
et super quatuor non convertam eum,
eo quod persecutus sit in gladio fratrem suum,
et violaverit misericordiam ejus,
et tenuerit ultra furorem suum,
et indignationem suam servaverit usque in finem.

12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

12 Mittam ignem in Theman,
et devorabit ædes Bosræ.

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:

13 Hæc dicit Dominus:
Super tribus sceleribus filiorum Ammon,
et super quatuor non convertam eum,
eo quod dissecuerit prægnantes Galaad
ad dilatandum terminum suum.

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:

14 Et succendam ignem in muro Rabba,
et devorabit ædes ejus in ululatu in die belli,
et in turbine in die commotionis.

15 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the Lord.

15 Et ibit Melchom in captivitatem,
ipse et principes ejus simul,
dicit Dominus.
