Amos 8
1 This is what the Lord God showed me. I saw a basket of fruit.
haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus et ecce uncinus pomorum
2 He asked me, “What do you see, Amos?” I said, “A basket of fruit.” Then the Lord told me, “This is the end of my people Israel! I won't ignore their sins anymore.
et dixit quid tu vides Amos et dixi uncinum pomorum et dixit Dominus ad me venit finis super populum meum Israhel non adiciam ultra ut pertranseam eum
3 On that day the Temple songs will become sorrowful wailing. There will be dead bodies scattered everywhere. Silence!” declares the Lord.
et stridebunt cardines templi in die illa dicit Dominus Deus multi morientur in omni loco proicietur silentium
4 Listen to this, you who trample down the needy, and wipe out the poor of the land.
audite hoc qui conteritis pauperem et deficere facitis egenos terrae
5 You who ask, “When will the holy day be over so we can get back to selling grain? When will the Sabbath be over so we can open our storehouses, and cheat people with short measures and unfair scales?”
dicentes quando transibit mensis et venundabimus merces et sabbatum et aperiemus frumentum ut inminuamus mensuram et augeamus siclum et subponamus stateras dolosas
6 You buy the poor for silver, the needy for a pair of sandals, and you sell grain mixed with chaff.
ut possideamus in argento egenos et pauperes pro calciamentis et quisquilias frumenti vendamus
7 The Lord God, of whom the descendants of Jacob are so proud, has sworn an oath: I will never forget the evil you have done.
iuravit Dominus in superbia Iacob si oblitus fuero usque ad finem omnia opera eorum
8 Shall not the land tremble because of this, and everyone who lives there mourn? The earth will rise up like the Nile river in flood, be tossed around, and then fall again.
numquid super isto non commovebitur terra et lugebit omnis habitator eius et ascendet quasi fluvius universus et eicietur et defluet quasi rivus Aegypti
9 On that day, declares the Lord God, I will make the sun go down at noon, and darken the land during the daytime.
et erit in die illa dicit Dominus occidet sol meridie et tenebrescere faciam terram in die luminis
10 I will turn your festivals into times of mourning, your happy songs into laments. I will make you wear sackcloth and shave your heads. I will make your mourning like that for an only son. At the end of it all it will be a bitter day.
et convertam festivitates vestras in luctum et omnia cantica vestra in planctum et inducam super omne dorsum vestrum saccum et super omne caput calvitium et ponam eam quasi luctum unigeniti et novissima eius quasi diem amarum
11 The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread, or a lack of water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.
ecce dies veniunt dicit Dominus et mittam famem in terram non famem panis neque sitim aquae sed audiendi verbum Domini
12 People will wander from sea to sea, from north to east, running to and fro searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it.
et commovebuntur a mari usque ad mare et ab aquilone usque ad orientem circumibunt quaerentes verbum Domini et non invenient
13 On that day, even the beautiful girls and healthy young men will collapse from thirst.
in die illa deficient virgines pulchrae et adulescentes in siti
14 Those who swear by the disgraceful idols of Samaria, who take oaths like, “By the life of your god, Dan,” or “A pilgrimage to the god of Beersheba”—they will fall, and never rise again.
qui iurant in delicto Samariae et dicunt vivit deus tuus Dan et vivit via Bersabee et cadent et non resurgent ultra
