Amos 2
1 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Moab, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has burned the bones of the king of Idumea, all the way to ashes.
haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Moab et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod incenderit ossa regis Idumeae usque ad cinerem
2 And I will send a fire onto Moab, and it will devour the buildings of Kerioth. And Moab will die with a noise, with the blare 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 in their midst, and I will execute all his leaders 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 wicked deeds of Judah, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has rejected the law of the Lord and has not kept his commandments. For their idols, which their fathers followed, have deceived them.
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 onto Judah, and it will devour the buildings of Jerusalem.
et mittam ignem in Iuda et devorabit aedes Hierusalem
6 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Israel, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has sold the just for silver and the poor for shoes.
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 grind the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth, and they divert the way of the humble. And the son, as well as his father, have gone to the same girl, so that they outrage 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 And they have lain on garments taken in pledge next to every altar. And they drank the wine of the damned in the house of their God.
et super vestimentis pigneratis accubuerunt iuxta omne altare et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui
9 Yet I exterminated the Amorites before their face, whose height was like the height of cedars, and whose strength was like the oak. And I crushed his fruit from 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 It is I who caused you to ascend from the land of Egypt, and I led you in the wilderness for forty years, so that you might possess 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 And I stirred up prophets from your sons, and Nazirites from your young men. Is it not so, 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 Yet you would offer wine to the Nazirites, and you would command the prophets, saying: “Do not prophesy.”
et propinabatis nazarenis vino et prophetis mandabatis dicentes ne prophetetis
13 Behold, I will creak under you, just as a wagon creaks that is laden with hay.
ecce ego stridebo super vos sicut stridet plaustrum onustum faeno
14 And flight will perish from the swift, and the strong will not maintain his strength, and the healthy will not save his life.
et peribit fuga a veloce et fortis non obtinebit virtutem suam et robustus non salvabit animam suam
15 And one holding the bow will not stand firm, and the swift of foot will not be saved, and the rider on the horse will 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 stout of heart among the strong will flee away naked in that day, says the Lord.
et robustus corde inter fortes nudus fugiet in die illa dicit Dominus
