Amos 4
1 Hear this word, ye cows of Bashan, who are in the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to their lords, Bring, and let us drink.
Audite verbum hoc vaccae pingues, quae estis in monte Samariae: quae calumniam facitis egenis, et confringitis pauperes: quae dicitis dominis vestris: Afferte, et bibemus.
2 The lord Jehovah has sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that they shall take you away with hooks, and your residue with fish-hooks.
Iuravit Dominus Deus in sancto suo: quia ecce dies venient super vos, et levabunt vos in contis, et reliquias vestras in ollis ferventibus.
3 And ye shall go out at the breaches, each one straight before her, and ye shall cast yourselves into Harmon, says Jehovah.
Et per aperturas exibitis altera contra alteram, et proiiciemini in Armon, dicit Dominus.
4 Come to Bethel and transgress, to Gilgal and multiply transgression. And bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes every three days.
Venite ad Bethel, et impie agite: ad Galgalam, et multiplicate praevaricationem: et afferte mane victimas vestras, tribus diebus decimas vestras.
5 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim freewill offerings, and publish them. For this pleases you, O ye sons of Israel, says the lord Jehovah.
Et sacrificate de fermentato laudem: et vocate voluntarias oblationes, et annunciate: sic enim voluistis, filii Israel, dicit Dominus Deus.
6 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places, yet ye have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
Unde et ego dedi vobis stuporem dentium in cunctis urbibus vestris, et indigentiam panum in omnibus locis vestris: et non estis reversi ad me, dicit Dominus.
7 And I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest. And I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city. One piece was rained upon, and the piece upon which it did not rain withered.
Ego quoque prohibui a vobis imbrem, cum adhuc tres menses superessent usque ad messem: et plui super unam civitatem, et super alteram civitatem non plui: pars una compluta est; et pars super quam non plui, aruit.
8 So two or three cities wandered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied. Yet ye have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
Et venerunt duae et tres civitates ad unam civitatem ut biberent aquam, et non sunt satiatae: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.
9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew. The multitude of your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees the palmer-worm has devoured. Yet ye have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
Percussi vos in vento urente, et in aurugine, multitudinem hortorum vestrorum, et vinearum vestrarum: oliveta vestra, et ficeta vestra comedit eruca: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.
10 I have sent among you the pestilence according to the manner of Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses, and I have made the stench of your camp to come up even into your nostrils. Yet ye have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
Misi in vos mortem in via Aegypti, percussi in gladio iuvenes vestros usque ad captivitatem equorum vestrorum: et ascendere feci putredinem castrorum vestrorum in nares vestras: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.
11 I have overthrown cities among you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a brand plucked out of the burning. Yet ye have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
Subverti vos, sicut subvertit Deus Sodomam, et Gomorrham, et facti estis quasi torris raptus ab incendio: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.
12 Therefore thus I will do to thee, O Israel, and because I will do this to thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
Quapropter haec faciam tibi Israel: postquam autem haec fecero tibi praeparare in occursum Dei tui Israel.
13 For, lo, he who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads upon the high places of the earth-Jehovah, the God of hosts, is his name.
Quia ecce formans montes, et creans ventum, et annuncians homini eloquium suum, faciens matutinam nebulam, et gradiens super excelsa terrae: Dominus Deus exercituum nomen eius.
