The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa--what he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake, when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash was king of Israel.
He said: "The LORD roars from Zion and thunders from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds dry up, and the top of Carmel withers."
This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Damascus, even for four, I will not turn back my wrath . Because she threshed Gilead with sledges having iron teeth,
I will send fire upon the house of Hazael that will consume the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.
I will break down the gate of Damascus; I will destroy the king who is in the Valley of Aven and the one who holds the scepter in Beth Eden. The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir," says the LORD.
드고아의 목자 아모스가 전한 말이다. 그가 이스라엘에 일어난 일의 계시를 볼 무렵에, 유다의 왕은 웃시야이고, 이스라엘의 왕은 요아스의 아들 여로보암이었다. 그가 계시를 본 것은, 지진이 일어나기 이 년 전이다.
내가 다마스쿠스의 성문 빗장을 부러뜨리고, 아웬 평야에서는 그 주민을 멸하고, 벳에덴에서는 왕권 잡은 자를 멸하겠다. 아람 백성은 기르로 끌려갈 것이다." 주님께서 말씀하신다.
This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Gaza, even for four, I will not turn back my wrath . Because she took captive whole communities and sold them to Edom,
I will send fire upon the walls of Gaza that will consume her fortresses.
I will destroy the king of Ashdod and the one who holds the scepter in Ashkelon. I will turn my hand against Ekron, till the last of the Philistines is dead," says the Sovereign LORD.
This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Tyre, even for four, I will not turn back my wrath . Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom, disregarding a treaty of brotherhood,
I will send fire upon the walls of Tyre that will consume her fortresses."
"나 주가 선고한다. 가사가 지은 서너 가지 죄를, 내가 용서하지 않겠다. 그들이 사로잡은 사람들을 모두 끌어다가, 에돔에 넘겨 주었기 때문이다.
This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Edom, even for four, I will not turn back my wrath . Because he pursued his brother with a sword, stifling all compassion, because his anger raged continually and his fury flamed unchecked,
I will send fire upon Teman that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah."
This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Ammon, even for four, I will not turn back {my wrath}. Because he ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to extend his borders,
I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah that will consume her fortresses amid war cries on the day of battle, amid violent winds on a stormy day.
Her king will go into exile, he and his officials together," says the LORD.
"나 주가 선고한다. 에돔이 지은 서너 가지 죄를, 내가 용서하지 않겠다. 그들이 칼을 들고서 제 형제를 뒤쫓으며, 형제 사이의 정마저 끊고서, 늘 화를 내며, 끊임없이 분노를 품고 있기 때문이다.
