1 ك َلامُ عامُوسَ الَّذِي كانَ مِنَ الرُّعاةِ فِي مَدِينَةِ تَقُوعَ. وَقَدْ تَلَقَّى هَذا الكَلامَ فِي رُؤَىً عَنْ إسْرائِيلَ فِي فَترَةِ حُكمِ المَلِكِ عُزِّيّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذا، وَفَترَةِ حُكمِ المَلِكِ يَرُبْعامَ مَلِكِ إسْرائِيلَ، قَبلَ الهِزَّةِ الأرْضِيَّةِ بِسَنَتَينِ.

The words of Amos, who was among the sheepherders from Tekoa, which he envisioned in visions 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 earthquake.

2 ق الَ عامُوسُ: «يَزْأرُ اللهُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ كَأسَدٍ يَستَعِدُّ لِلهُجُومِ، وَمِنْ مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ يَرفَعُ صَوتَهُ. مَراعِي الرُّعاةِ سَتَجِفُّ، وَقِمَّةُ جَبَلِ الكَرْمَلِ سَتَيبَسُ.» عِقابُ أرام
