Amos 6
1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion and that are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the renowned of the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come.
Vae qui opulenti estis in Sion, et confiditis in monte Samariae: optimates capita populorum, ingredientes pompatice domum Israel.
2 Pass unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go to Hamath the great; and go down to Gath of the Philistines: are they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
Transite in Chalane, et videte, et ite inde in Emath magnam: et descendite in Geth Palaesthinorum, et ad optima quaeque regna horum: si latior terminus eorum termino vestro est.
3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
Qui separati estis in diem malum: et appropinquatis solio iniquitatis.
4 that lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves from the midst of the stall;
Qui dormitis in lectis eburneis, et lascivitis in stratis vestris: qui comeditis agnum de grege, et vitulos de medio armenti.
5 that chant to the sound of the lute, [and] invent them instruments of music, like David;
Qui canitis ad vocem psalterii: sicut David putaverunt se habere vasa cantici.
6 that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments; but are not grieved for the breach of Joseph.
Bibentes vinum in phialis, et optimo unguento delibuti: et nihil patiebantur super contritione Ioseph.
7 Therefore shall they now go captive, with the first that go captive, and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away.
Quapropter nunc migrabunt in capite transmigrantium: et auferetur factio lascivientium.
8 The Lord Jehovah hath sworn by himself, saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his palaces; and I will deliver up the city with all that is therein.
Iuravit Dominus Deus in anima sua, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum: Detestor ego superbiam Iacob, et domos eius odi, et tradam civitatem cum habitatoribus suis.
9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
Quod si reliqui fuerint decem viri in domo una, et ipsi morientur.
10 And a man's uncle, and he that should burn him, shall take him up to bring out the bones from the house, and shall say unto him that is in the inner parts of the house, Is there yet [any] with thee? and he shall say, None. And he will say, Silence! for we may not make mention of Jehovah's name.
Et tollet eum propinquus suus, et comburet eum, ut efferat ossa de domo: et dicet ei, qui in penetralibus domus est: Numquid adhuc est penes te? Et respondebit: Finis est. Et dicet ei: Tace, et non recorderis nominis Domini.
11 For behold, Jehovah commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
Quia ecce Dominus mandabit, et percutiet domum maiorem ruinis, et domum minorem scissionibus.
12 Shall horses run upon the rock? will [men] plough [thereon] with oxen? For ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
Numquid currere queunt in petris equi, aut arari potest in bubalis, quoniam convertistis in amaritudinem iudicium, et fructum iustitiae in absinthium?
13 — ye that rejoice in a thing of nought, that say, Have we not taken to us power by our own strength?
Qui laetamini in nihilo: qui dicitis: Numquid non in fortitudine nostra assumpsimus nobis cornua?
14 For behold, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah the God of hosts, I will raise up against you a nation; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hamath unto the torrent of the Arabah.
Ecce enim suscitabo super vos domus Israel, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum, gentem: et conteret vos ab introitu Emath, usque ad torrentem deserti.
