Amos 2
1 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Moab, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because he burned to lime the bones of Edom’s king.
haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Moab et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod incenderit ossa regis Idumeae usque ad cinerem
2 So I will send fire against Moab to consume the citadels of Kerioth. Moab will die in tumult, amid war cries and the sound of the ram’s horn.
et mittam ignem in Moab et devorabit aedes Carioth et morietur in sonitu Moab in clangore tubae
3 I will cut off the ruler of Moab and kill all the officials with him,”
et disperdam iudicem de medio eius et omnes principes eius interficiam cum eo dicit Dominus
4 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Judah, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they reject the Law of the LORD and fail to keep His statutes; they are led astray by the lies in which their fathers walked.
haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Iuda et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod abiecerint legem Domini et mandata eius non custodierint deceperunt enim eos idola sua post quae abierant patres eorum
5 So I will send fire upon Judah to consume the citadels of Jerusalem.”
et mittam ignem in Iuda et devorabit aedes Hierusalem
6 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Israel, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they sell the righteous for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals.
haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Israhel et super quattuor non convertam eum pro eo quod vendiderit argento iustum et pauperem pro calciamentis
7 They trample on the heads of the poor as on the dust of the earth; they push the needy out of their way. A man and his father have relations with the same girl and so profane My holy name.
qui conterunt super pulverem terrae capita pauperum et viam humilium declinant et filius ac pater eius ierunt ad puellam ut violarent nomen sanctum meum
8 They lie down beside every altar on garments taken in pledge. And in the house of their God, they drink wine obtained through fines.
et super vestimentis pigneratis accubuerunt iuxta omne altare et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui
9 Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, though his height was like that of the cedars, and he was as strong as the oaks. Yet I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below.
ego autem exterminavi Amorreum a facie eorum cuius altitudo cedrorum altitudo eius et fortis ipse quasi quercus et contrivi fructum eius desuper et radices eius subter
10 And I brought you up from the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness, that you might take possession of the land of the Amorite.
ego sum qui ascendere vos feci de terra Aegypti et eduxi vos in deserto quadraginta annis ut possideretis terram Amorrei
11 I raised up prophets from your sons and Nazirites from your young men. Is this not true, O children of Israel?”
et suscitavi de filiis vestris in prophetas et de iuvenibus vestris nazarenos numquid non ita est filii Israhel dicit Dominus
12 “But you made the Nazirites drink wine and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
et propinabatis nazarenis vino et prophetis mandabatis dicentes ne prophetetis
13 Behold, I am about to crush you in your place as with a cart full of grain.
ecce ego stridebo super vos sicut stridet plaustrum onustum faeno
14 Escape will fail the swift, the strong will not prevail by his strength, and the mighty will not save his life.
et peribit fuga a veloce et fortis non obtinebit virtutem suam et robustus non salvabit animam suam
15 The archer will not stand his ground, the fleet of foot will not escape, and the horseman will not save his life.
et tenens arcum non stabit et velox pedibus suis non salvabitur et ascensor equi non salvabit animam suam
16 Even the bravest of mighty men will flee naked on that day,”
et robustus corde inter fortes nudus fugiet in die illa dicit Dominus
