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.

¹Words of Amos — who hath been among herdsmen of Tekoa — that he hath seen concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the shaking;

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

²and he saith: Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from Jerusalem giveth forth His voice, And mourned have pastures of the shepherds, And withered hath the top of Carmel!

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

³And thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their threshing Gilead with sharp-pointed irons,

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

⁴And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it hath consumed the palaces of Ben-Hadad.

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.

⁵And I have broken the bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from Bikat-Aven, And a holder of a sceptre from Beth-Eden, And removed have been the people of Aram to Kir, said Jehovah.

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.

⁶Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their removing a complete captivity, To deliver up to Edom,

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

⁷And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it hath consumed her palaces;

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.

⁸And I have cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And a holder of a sceptre from Ashkelon, And have turned back My hand against Ekron, And perished have the remnant of the Philistines, Said the Lord Jehovah.

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.

⁹Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their delivering up a complete captivity to Edom, And they remembered not the brotherly covenant,

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

¹⁰And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it hath consumed her palaces.

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.

¹¹Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing with a sword his brother, And he hath destroyed his mercies, And tear perpetually doth his anger, And his wrath — he hath kept it for ever,

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

¹²And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it hath consumed palaces of Bozrah.

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

¹³Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their ripping up the pregnant ones of Gilead, To enlarge their border,

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

¹⁴And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it hath consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of hurricane,

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

¹⁵And gone hath their king in a removal, He and his heads together, said Jehovah!
