Amos 9
1 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and He said: “Strike the tops of the pillars so that the thresholds shake. Topple them on the heads of all the people, and I will kill the rest with the sword. None of those who flee will get away; none of the fugitives will escape.
Vidi Dominum stantem super altare, et dixit: Percute cardinem, et commoveantur superliminaria: avaritia enim in capite omnium, et novissimum eorum in gladio interficiam: non erit fuga eis. Fugient, et non salvabitur ex eis qui fugerit.
2 Though they dig down to Sheol, from there My hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, from there I will pull them down. (Sheol h7585)
Si descenderint usque ad infernum, inde manus mea educet eos: et si ascenderint usque in cælum, inde detraham eos. (Sheol h7585)
3 Though they hide themselves atop Carmel, there I will track them and seize them; and though they hide from Me at the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent to bite them.
Et si absconditi fuerint in vertice Carmeli, inde scrutans auferam eos: et si celaverint se ab oculis meis in profundo maris, ibi mandabo serpenti, et mordebit eos.
4 Though they are driven by their enemies into captivity, there I will command the sword to slay them. I will fix My eyes upon them for harm and not for good.”
Et si abierint in captivitatem coram inimicis suis, ibi mandabo gladio, et occidet eos: et ponam oculos meos super eos in malum, et non in bonum.
5 The Lord GOD of Hosts, He who touches the earth and it melts, and all its dwellers mourn— all the land rises like the Nile, then sinks like the river of Egypt—
Et Dominus Deus exercituum, qui tangit terram, et tabescet: et lugebunt omnes habitantes in ea: et ascendet sicut rivus omnis, et defluet sicut fluvius Ægypti.
6 He builds His upper rooms in the heavens and founds His vault upon the earth. He summons the waters of the sea and pours them over the face of the earth. The LORD is His name.
Qui ædificat in cælo ascensionem suam, et fasciculum suum super terram fundavit: qui vocat aquas maris, et effundit eas super faciem terræ, Dominus nomen eius.
7 “Are you not like the Cushites to Me, O children of Israel?” declares the LORD. “Did I not bring Israel up from the land of Egypt, the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans from Kir?
Numquid non ut filii Æthiopum vos estis mihi, filii Israel, ait Dominus? numquid non Israel ascendere feci de Terra Ægypti: et Palæsthinos de Cappadocia, et Syros de Cyrene?
8 Surely the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth. Yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”
Ecce oculi Domini Dei super regnum peccans, et conteram illud a facie terræ: verumtamen conterens non conteram domum Iacob, dicit Dominus.
9 “For surely I will give the command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations as grain is sifted in a sieve; but not a pebble will reach the ground.
Ecce enim mandabo ego, et concutiam in omnibus gentibus domum Israel, sicut concutitur triticum in cribro: et non cadet lapillus super terram.
10 All the sinners among My people will die by the sword— all those who say, ‘Disaster will never draw near or confront us.’”
In gladio morientur omnes peccatores populi mei: qui dicunt: Non appropinquabit, et non veniet super nos malum.
11 “In that day I will restore the fallen tent of David. I will repair its gaps, restore its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old,
In die illa suscitabo tabernaculum David, quod cecidit: et reædificabo aperturas murorum eius, et ea quæ corruerant, instaurabo: et reædificabo illud sicut in diebus antiquis.
12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations that bear My name,”
Ut possideant reliquias Idumææ, et omnes nationes, eo quod invocatum sit nomen meum super eos: dicit Dominus faciens hæc.
13 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when the plowman will overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes, the sower of seed. The mountains will drip with sweet wine, with which all the hills will flow.
Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus: et comprehendet arator messorem, et calcator uvæ mittentem semen: et stillabunt montes dulcedinem, et omnes colli culti erunt.
14 I will restore My people Israel from captivity; they will rebuild and inhabit the ruined cities. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
Et convertam captivitatem populi mei Israel: et ædificabunt civitates desertas, et inhabitabunt: et plantabunt vineas, et bibent vinum earum: et facient hortos, et comedent fructus eorum.
15 I will firmly plant them in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land that I have given them,”
Et plantabo eos super humum suam: et non evellam eos ultra de terra sua, quam dedi eis, dicit Dominus Deus tuus.
