Amos 2
1 Thus says the Lord; For three sins of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away from it; because they burnt the bones of the king of Idumea to lime.
haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Moab et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod incenderit ossa regis Idumeae usque ad cinerem
2 But I will send forth a fire on Moab, and it shall devour the foundations of its cities: and Moab shall perish in weakness, with a shout, and with the sound of a trumpet.
et mittam ignem in Moab et devorabit aedes Carioth et morietur in sonitu Moab in clangore tubae
3 And I will destroy the judge out of her, and kill all her princes with him, says the Lord.
et disperdam iudicem de medio eius et omnes principes eius interficiam cum eo dicit Dominus
4 Thus says the Lord; For three sins of the children of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they have rejected the law of the Lord, and have not kept his ordinances, and their vain [idols] which they made, which their fathers followed, caused them to err.
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 And I will send a fire on Juda, and it shall devour the foundations of Jerusalem.
et mittam ignem in Iuda et devorabit aedes Hierusalem
6 Thus says the Lord; for three sins of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for 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 wherewith to tread on the dust of the earth, and they have struck upon the heads of the poor, and have perverted the way of the lowly: and a son and his father have gone into the same maid, that they might profane the name of their God.
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 And binding their clothes with cords they have made them curtains near the altar, and they have drunk wine gained by extortion in the house of their God.
et super vestimentis pigneratis accubuerunt iuxta omne altare et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui
9 Nevertheless I cut off the Amorite from before them, whose height was as the height of a cedar, and he was strong as an oak; and I dried up his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
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 out of the land of Egypt, and led you about in the desert forty years, that you should inherit the land of the Amorites.
ego sum qui ascendere vos feci de terra Aegypti et eduxi vos in deserto quadraginta annis ut possideretis terram Amorrei
11 And I took of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for consecration. Are not these things so, you sons of Israel? says the Lord.
et suscitavi de filiis vestris in prophetas et de iuvenibus vestris nazarenos numquid non ita est filii Israhel dicit Dominus
12 But you gave the consecrated ones wine to drink; and you commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
et propinabatis nazarenis vino et prophetis mandabatis dicentes ne prophetetis
13 Therefore, behold, I roll under you, as a waggon full of straw is rolled.
ecce ego stridebo super vos sicut stridet plaustrum onustum faeno
14 And flight shall perish from the runner, and the strong shall not hold fast his strength, and the warrior shall not save his life:
et peribit fuga a veloce et fortis non obtinebit virtutem suam et robustus non salvabit animam suam
15 and the archer shall not withstand, and he that is swift of foot shall in no wise escape; and the horseman shall not save his life.
et tenens arcum non stabit et velox pedibus suis non salvabitur et ascensor equi non salvabit animam suam
16 And the strong shall find no confidence in power: the naked shall flee away in that day, says the Lord.
et robustus corde inter fortes nudus fugiet in die illa dicit Dominus
