Amos 1 (WEBP)

[1] 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] 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] 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] but I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it will devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.
[5] 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] 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] but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it will devour its palaces.
[8] 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] 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] but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it will devour its palaces.”
[11] 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] but I will send a fire on Teman, and it will devour the palaces of Bozrah.”
[13] 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] 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] and their king will go into captivity, he and his princes together,” says Yahweh.

Amos 1:2 “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “Lord” (all caps) in other translations.
Amos 1:8 The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.”

[1] λογοι αμως οι εγενοντο εν νακκαριμ εκ θεκουε ους ειδεν υπερ ιερουσαλημ εν ημεραις οζιου βασιλεως ιουδα και εν ημεραις ιεροβοαμ του ιωας βασιλεως ισραηλ προ δυο ετων του σεισμου
[2] και ειπεν κυριος εκ σιων εφθεγξατο και εξ ιερουσαλημ εδωκεν φωνην αυτου και επενθησαν αι νομαι των ποιμενων και εξηρανθη η κορυφη του καρμηλου
[3] και ειπεν κυριος επι ταις τρισιν ασεβειαις δαμασκου και επι ταις τεσσαρσιν ουκ αποστραφησομαι αυτον ανθ ων επριζον πριοσιν σιδηροις τας εν γαστρι εχουσας των εν γαλααδ
[4] και εξαποστελω πυρ εις τον οικον αζαηλ και καταφαγεται θεμελια υιου αδερ
[5] και συντριψω μοχλους δαμασκου και εξολεθρευσω κατοικουντας εκ πεδιου ων και κατακοψω φυλην εξ ανδρων χαρραν και αιχμαλωτευθησεται λαος συριας επικλητος λεγει κυριος
[6] ταδε λεγει κυριος επι ταις τρισιν ασεβειαις γαζης και επι ταις τεσσαρσιν ουκ αποστραφησομαι αυτους ενεκεν του αιχμαλωτευσαι αυτους αιχμαλωσιαν του σαλωμων του συγκλεισαι εις την ιδουμαιαν
[7] και εξαποστελω πυρ επι τα τειχη γαζης και καταφαγεται θεμελια αυτης
[8] και εξολεθρευσω κατοικουντας εξ αζωτου και εξαρθησεται φυλη εξ ασκαλωνος και επαξω την χειρα μου επι ακκαρων και απολουνται οι καταλοιποι των αλλοφυλων λεγει κυριος
[9] ταδε λεγει κυριος επι ταις τρισιν ασεβειαις τυρου και επι ταις τεσσαρσιν ουκ αποστραφησομαι αυτην ανθ ων συνεκλεισαν αιχμαλωσιαν του σαλωμων εις την ιδουμαιαν και ουκ εμνησθησαν διαθηκης αδελφων
[10] και εξαποστελω πυρ επι τα τειχη τυρου και καταφαγεται θεμελια αυτης
[11] ταδε λεγει κυριος επι ταις τρισιν ασεβειαις της ιδουμαιας και επι ταις τεσσαρσιν ουκ αποστραφησομαι αυτους ενεκα του διωξαι αυτους εν ρομφαια τον αδελφον αυτου και ελυμηνατο μητραν επι γης και ηρπασεν εις μαρτυριον φρικην αυτου και το ορμημα αυτου εφυλαξεν εις νεικος
