¹The 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.

¹Slová Ámosa, ktorý bol medzi pastiermi z Tekoy, ktoré videl o Izraelovi za dní Uziáša, judského kráľa, a za dní Jeroboáma, syna Joasovho, izraelského kráľa, dva roky pred zemetrasením.

²And 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.

²A povedal: Hospodin bude revať so Siona a z Jeruzalema vydá svoj hlas; smútiť budú pasienky pastierov, a uschne temeno Karmela.

³Thus 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:

³Takto hovorí Hospodin: Pre troje prestúpení Damašku a pre štvoro neodvrátim toho, pretože mlátili Gileáda železnými mlátidlami.

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

⁴A preto pošlem oheň na dom Chazaelov, ktorý strávi paláce Ben-hadadove.

⁵I 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.

⁵A polámem závoru Damašku a vyplienim obyvateľa z údolia Ávena a toho, ktorý drží berlu, z domu Édena, a ľud Sýrie pojde do zajatia do Kíra, hovorí Hospodin.

⁶Thus 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:

⁶Takto hovorí Hospodin: Pre troje prestúpení Gazy a pre štvoro neodvrátim toho, pretože odvádzali zajatých, všetkých, čo ich len bolo, do zajatia, aby ich vydali Edomovi.

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

⁷A preto pošlem oheň na múr Gazy, a strávi jej paláce.

⁸And 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.

⁸A vyplienim obyvateľa z Ašdóda a toho, ktorý drží berlu, z Aškalona a obrátim svoju ruku proti Ekronu, a zahynie ostatok Filištínov, hovorí Pán Hospodin.

⁹Thus 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:

⁹Takto hovorí Hospodin: Pre troje prestúpení Týru a pre štvoro neodvrátim toho, pretože vydávali zajatých, všetkých, čo ich len bolo, Edomovi a nepamätali na smluvu bratov.

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

¹⁰Preto pošlem oheň na múr Týru, a strávi jeho paláce.

¹¹Thus 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:

¹¹Takto hovorí Hospodin: Pre troje prestúpení Edoma a pre štvoro neodvrátim toho, pretože stíhal svojho brata mečom a udusil všetku svoju ľútosť, a jeho hnev trhá, dravý, neprestajne, a svoju prchlivosť drží na večnosť.

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

¹²A preto pošlem oheň na Téman, a strávi paláce Bocry.

¹³Thus 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:

¹³Takto hovorí Hospodin: Pre troje prestúpení synov Ammonových a pre štvoro neodvrátim toho, pretože rozpárali tehotné Gileáda, aby rozšírili svoje územie.

¹⁴But 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:

¹⁴A preto zanietim oheň na múre Rabby, a strávi jej paláce za vojenného kriku v deň boja, za búrky v deň víchrice.

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

¹⁵A ich kráľ pojde do zajatia, on i jeho kniežatá spolu, hovorí Hospodin.
