1 The 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. 2 And 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.
3 Thus 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: 4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad. 5 I 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.
6 ¶ Thus 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: 7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof: 8 And 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.
9 ¶ Thus 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: 10 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof.
11 ¶ Thus 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: 12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 ¶ Thus 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: 14 But 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: 15 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD.
1–BOB
1 Ushbu kitobda Taxuvada chorvador boʻlgan Amosning soʻzlari bayon etilgan. Isroil toʻgʻrisidagi bu soʻzlar Amosga zilziladan ikki yil avval vahiy orqali ayon boʻlgan edi. Oʻsha davrda Yahudo yurtida shoh Uzziyo, Isroil yurtida esa Yohoʻsh oʻgʻli shoh Yorubom hukmronlik qilayotgan edilar.
2 Amos shunday dedi:
“Egamiz Quddusdan turib hayqiradi,
Siondan gulduros ovozi yangraydi!
Choʻponlarning yaylovlari qurib qoladi ,
Karmil choʻqqisidagi oʻtlar xazon boʻladi.”
Isroil atrofidagi xalqlar hukm qilinadi
Oram
3 Egamiz shunday demoqda:
“Damashq aholisi gunoh ustiga gunoh qildi!
Men ularni jazosiz qoldirmayman,
Axir, ular Gilad aholisini temir tishli xoʻptir bilan yanchdi .
4 Shunday ekan, Men shoh Xazayilning saroyiga olov yogʻdiraman,
Olov Banhadadning qalʼalarini yondirib yuboradi.
5 Men Damashq darvozalarining tambalarini sindiraman.
«Qabihlik vodiysi»ning hukmdorini yoʻq qilaman,
Bayt–Edenda saltanat hassasini tutgan zotni halok qilaman.
Oram xalqi asirlikka tushadi, Xir yurtiga olib ketiladi.”
Egamizning kalomi shudir.
Filistiya
6 Egamiz shunday demoqda:
“Gʻazo aholisi gunoh ustiga gunoh qildi!
Men ularni jazosiz qoldirmayman,
Axir, ular xalqimning qishloqlaridagi aholisini
Asirlikka olib, Edom xalqiga qul qilib sotdilar.
7 Shunday ekan, Men Gʻazo devoriga olov yogʻdiraman,
Olov Gʻazo qalʼalarini kuydirib tashlaydi.
8 Men Ashdod shahrining hukmdorini yoʻq qilaman,
Ashqalonda saltanat hassasini tutgan zotni halok qilaman.
Exron shahriga qarshi qoʻl koʻtaraman,
Omon qolgan Filistlarni qirib tashlayman!”
Egamiz Rabbiyning kalomi shudir.
Tir
9 Egamiz shunday demoqda:
“Tir aholisi gunoh ustiga gunoh qildi!
Men ularni jazosiz qoldirmayman.
Axir, ular birodarlik ittifoqini unutib,
Xalqimning qishloqlaridagi aholisini
Edomliklarga qul qilib sotdilar.
10 Shunday ekan, Men Tir devoriga olov yogʻdiraman,
Olov Tir qalʼalarini kuydirib tashlaydi.”
Edom
11 Egamiz shunday demoqda:
“Edom aholisi gunoh ustiga gunoh qildi!
Men ularni jazosiz qoldirmayman.
Axir, ular qardoshi Isroil xalqiga rahm qilmadilar.
Ularni qilich bilan taʼqib qilib ,
Qahrini cheksiz sochdilar,
Gʻazabidan hech tushmadilar.
12 Shunday ekan, Men Temon shahriga olov yogʻdiraman,
Bozrax qalʼalarini olov kuydirib tashlaydi.”
Ommon
13 Egamiz shunday demoqda:
“Ommon xalqi gunoh ustiga gunoh qildi,
Men ularni jazosiz qoldirmayman.
Axir, ular hududini kengaytirish uchun Giladga hujum qildilar,
Oʻshanda homilador ayollarning qorinlarini yordilar.
14 Shunday ekan, Men Rabba shahrining devoriga oʻt qoʻyaman,
Olov Rabba qalʼalarini kuydirib tashlaydi.
Oʻsha kuni jangdagi hayqiriqlar falakni tutadi,
Jang boʻron kabi avj oladi.
15 Ommon shohi surgun qilinadi,
U bilan birga mulozimlar ham olib ketiladi.”
Egamizning kalomi shudir.
