1 Este es el mensaje que Dios le envió a Israel por medio del profeta Amós, que era un pastor de ovejas que vivía en el pueblo de Tecoa. Esto ocurrió dos años antes del memorable terremoto, durante el tiempo en que Uzías reinaba sobre Judá y Jeroboán, hijo de Joás, reinaba sobre Israel.
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 Este es su mensaje: «Desde Sion el Señor rugirá como un león, desde Jerusalén lanzará un poderoso grito. Será tan terrible su grito que los pastos de los campos se secarán y se resecará la cumbre del monte Carmelo».
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 El Señor dice: «Los habitantes de Damasco han acumulado maldades sobre maldades, así que no los dejaré sin el castigo que se merecen. Porque han maltratado tanto a los habitantes de Galaad que parece que los han trillado con trillos de hierro, tal como si fueran trigo.
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 En castigo por eso yo prenderé fuego al palacio del rey Jazael y destruiré las fortalezas defensivas que se encuentran en Ben Adad.
4 but I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it will devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.
5 Quebraré los barrotes que soportan las puertas de entrada a la ciudad Damasco y mataré al que gobierna en el valle de Avén y al que gobierna en Bet Edén, y haré que los sirios sean llevados cautivos a Quir». Lo ha dicho el Señor.
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 El Señor dice: «Los habitantes de Gaza han acumulado maldad sobre maldad, así que no los dejaré sin el castigo que se merecen. Ellos capturaron a un pueblo entero y lo vendieron como esclavo en Edom.
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 En castigo por eso yo prenderé fuego a las murallas de Gaza y destruiré todas sus fortalezas defensivas.
7 but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it will devour its palaces.
8 Mataré a la gente de Asdod y destruiré al rey de Ascalón. Arremeteré con furia contra los habitantes de Ecrón y no dejaré con vida a ningún filisteo». Lo ha dicho el Señor.
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 El Señor dice: «Los habitantes de Tiro han acumulado maldad sobre maldad, así que no los dejaré sin castigo. Ellos han ignorado su pacto con su hermano, pues atacaron y conquistaron a todo un pueblo fraterno y lo vendieron como esclavo a Edom.
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 En castigo por eso yo prenderé fuego a las murallas defensivas de Tiro y consumirá también sus palacios».
10 but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it will devour its palaces.”
11 El Señor dice: «Los habitantes de Edom han acumulado maldad sobre maldad, así que no los dejaré sin castigo. Edom persiguió sin ninguna compasión a los israelitas para matarlos, y siempre los han odiado y robado, sin mostrar la más mínima piedad.
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 En castigo por eso prenderé un fuego en Temán que consumirá todas las fortalezas de Bosra».
12 but I will send a fire on Teman, and it will devour the palaces of Bozrah.”
13 El Señor dice: «Los habitantes de Amón han acumulado maldad sobre maldad, así que no los dejaré sin castigo. Para ensanchar sus fronteras llenaron de terror a todo mundo, incluso abrieron el vientre de las mujeres embarazadas que vivían en Galaad.
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 En castigo por eso prenderé fuego a las murallas de Rabá que consumirá también todos sus palacios. Habrá entonces gritos salvajes en medio de la batalla y parecerá todo como un torbellino en una fuerte tormenta.
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 Tanto su rey como sus príncipes juntamente serán llevados al exilio». Lo ha dicho el Señor.
15 and their king will go into captivity, he and his princes together,” says Yahweh.

“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).
… will have compassion upon us: He will destroy our iniquities, and will cast our sins into the depths of the sea." And again, specifying the place of His advent, he says: "The Lord hath spoken from Zion, and He has uttered His voice from Jerusalem." And that it is from that region which is towards the south of the inheritance …
… of the Lord which came to Hosea in the days of Uzziah, Jothan, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah." Amos also writes that he prophesied in the days of Uzziah, and adds the name of Jeroboam king of Israel, who lived at the same time.
