Amos 4
1 Hear this word, you cows of Bashan on Mount Samaria, you women who oppress the poor and crush the needy, who say to your husbands, “Bring us more to 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 GOD has sworn by His holiness: “Behold, the days are coming when you will be taken away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.
Iuravit Dominus Deus in sancto suo: quia ecce dies venient super vos, et levabunt vos in contis, et reliquias vestras in ollis ferventibus.
3 You will go out through broken walls, each one straight ahead of her, and you will be cast out toward Harmon,”
Et per aperturas exibitis altera contra alteram, et proiiciemini in Armon, dicit Dominus.
4 “Go to Bethel and transgress; rebel even more at Gilgal! Bring your sacrifices every morning, 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 Offer leavened bread as a thank offering, and loudly proclaim your freewill offerings. For that is what you children of Israel love to do,”
Et sacrificate de fermentato laudem: et vocate voluntarias oblationes, et annunciate: sic enim voluistis, filii Israel, dicit Dominus Deus.
6 “I beset all your cities with cleanness of teeth and all your towns with lack of bread, yet you did not return to Me,”
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 “I also withheld the rain from you when the harvest was three months away. I sent rain on one city but withheld it from another. One field received rain; another without 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 People staggered from city to city for water to drink, but they were not satisfied; yet you did not return to Me,”
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 struck you with blight and mildew in your growing gardens and vineyards; the locust devoured your fig and olive trees, yet you did not return to Me,”
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 sent plagues among you like those of Egypt; I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you did not return to Me,”
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 “Some of you I overthrew as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a firebrand snatched from a blaze, yet you did not return to Me,”
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, that is what I will do to you, O Israel, and since I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel!
Quapropter haec faciam tibi Israel: postquam autem haec fecero tibi praeparare in occursum Dei tui Israel.
13 For behold, He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind and reveals His thoughts to man, who turns the dawn to darkness and strides on the heights of the earth— the LORD, 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.
