1 Escuchen esta palabra, vacas de Basán, que están en el monte de Samaria. Ustedes oprimen a los pobres, aplastan a los necesitados y dicen a sus señores: «Traigan el vino para que bebamos».
1 Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, “Bring us drinks!”
2 El Señor Dios ha jurado por su santo nombre: vendrán días en que las llevarán con ganchos, y a las que queden, con anzuelos.
2 The Lord Yahweh has sworn by his holiness, “Behold, the days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks, and the last of you with fish hooks.
3 Saldrán por las brechas, cada una hacia adelante, y serán enviadas a Harmón, dice el Señor.
3 You will go out at the breaks in the wall, everyone straight before her; and you will cast yourselves into Harmon,” says Yahweh.
4 Vengan a Betel y hagan el mal; vayan a Gilgal y multipliquen sus pecados. Traigan sus ofrendas cada mañana y sus diezmos cada tres días.
4 “Go to Bethel, and sin; to Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days,
5 Quemen lo que tiene levadura como ofrenda de alabanza; anuncien públicamente sus ofrendas voluntarias, porque eso les gusta, hijos de Israel, dice el Señor.
5 offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them; for this pleases you, you children of Israel,” says the Lord Yahweh.
6 Pero yo los hice pasar hambre en todas sus ciudades; faltaba el pan en todos sus lugares. Aun así, no volvieron a mí, dice el Señor.
6 “I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in every town; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
7 Les negué la lluvia cuando aún faltaban tres meses para la cosecha. Hice llover sobre una ciudad, pero no sobre otra. Un campo recibió lluvia y el que no la recibió quedó desolado.
7 “I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One field was rained on, and the field where it didn’t rain withered.
8 Los habitantes de dos o tres ciudades iban a otra en busca de agua, pero no conseguían suficiente. Aun así, no volvieron a mí, dice el Señor.
8 So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
9 Destruí sus campos con calor y enfermedad. Los gusanos devoraron lo que producían sus huertos y viñedos, sus higueras y sus olivos. Aun así, no volvieron a mí, dice el Señor.
9 “I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards, and the swarming locusts have devoured your fig trees and your olive trees; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
10 Les envié enfermedad como en Egipto; maté a sus jóvenes con la espada y les quité sus caballos. Hice que el mal olor de sus tiendas les llegara a la nariz. Aun así, no volvieron a mí, dice el Señor.
10 “I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
11 Envié destrucción entre ustedes como cuando Dios destruyó a Sodoma y Gomorra. Quedaron como un palo encendido sacado del fuego. Aun así, no volvieron a mí, dice el Señor.
11 “I have overthrown some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
12 Por eso te haré esto, Israel. Y como voy a hacértelo, prepárate para encontrarte con tu Dios, Israel.
12 “Therefore I will do this to you, Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel.
13 Él formó las montañas y creó el viento; da a conocer su propósito al ser humano. Convierte la mañana en oscuridad y camina sobre las alturas de la tierra. Su nombre es el Señor, el Dios de los ejércitos.
13 For, behold, he who forms the mountains, creates the wind, declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth: Yahweh, the God of Armies, is his name.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… ye be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above." Amos also prophesies thus concerning such things: "Prepare thee, that thou mayst invoke thy God, O Israel; for lo, I am binding the thunder, and creating the spirit, and announcing to men their Christ." And in another place he says, "In that day will I raise up the tabernacle …

… made; as is shewn by the passage which says that He maketh His Angels Spirits, and that the earth is founded upon its steadfastness (though once for all these things were fixed and made) and that the thunder is made firm and the wind created. Of all these things the Word was given once, but the Action is continuous even …
