Amos 4
1 Heare this worde, ye kine of Bashan that are in the mountaine of Samaria, which oppresse the poore, and destroy the needie, and they say to their masters, Bring, and let vs drinke.
Audite verbum hoc vaccae pingues, quae estis in monte Samariae: quae calumniam facitis egenis, et confringitis pauperes: quae dicitis dominis vestris: Afferte, et bibemus.
2 The Lord God hath sworne by his holines, that loe, the dayes shall come vpon you, that hee wil take you away with thornes, and your posteritie with fish hookes.
Iuravit Dominus Deus in sancto suo: quia ecce dies venient super vos, et levabunt vos in contis, et reliquias vestras in ollis ferventibus.
3 And ye shall goe out at the breaches euery kow forward: and ye shall cast your selues out of the palace, saith the Lord.
Et per aperturas exibitis altera contra alteram, et proiiciemini in Armon, dicit Dominus.
4 Come to Beth-el, and transgresse: to Gilgal, and multiplie transgression, and bring your sacrifices in the morning, and your tithes after three yeres.
Venite ad Bethel, et impie agite: ad Galgalam, et multiplicate praevaricationem: et afferte mane victimas vestras, tribus diebus decimas vestras.
5 And offer a thankesgiuing of leauen, publish and proclaime the free offrings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord God.
Et sacrificate de fermentato laudem: et vocate voluntarias oblationes, et annunciate: sic enim voluistis, filii Israel, dicit Dominus Deus.
6 And therefore haue I giuen you cleannes of teeth in all your cities, and scarcenesse of bread in all your places, yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
Unde et ego dedi vobis stuporem dentium in cunctis urbibus vestris, et indigentiam panum in omnibus locis vestris: et non estis reversi ad me, dicit Dominus.
7 And also I haue withholden the raine from you, when there were yet three moneths to the haruest, and I caused it to raine vpon one citie, and haue not caused it to raine vpon another citie: one piece was rained vpon, and the piece whereupon it rained not, withered.
Ego quoque prohibui a vobis imbrem, cum adhuc tres menses superessent usque ad messem: et plui super unam civitatem, et super alteram civitatem non plui: pars una compluta est; et pars super quam non plui, aruit.
8 So two or three cities wandred vnto one citie to drinke water, but they were not satisfied: yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
Et venerunt duae et tres civitates ad unam civitatem ut biberent aquam, et non sunt satiatae: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.
9 I haue smitten you with blasting, and mildewe: your great gardens and your vineyardes, and your figtrees, and your oliue trees did the palmer worme deuoure: yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
Percussi vos in vento urente, et in aurugine, multitudinem hortorum vestrorum, et vinearum vestrarum: oliveta vestra, et ficeta vestra comedit eruca: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.
10 Pestilence haue I sent among you, after the maner of Egypt: your yong men haue I slaine with the sworde, and haue taken away your horses: and I haue made the stinke of your tentes to come vp euen into your nostrels: yet haue yee not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
Misi in vos mortem in via Aegypti, percussi in gladio iuvenes vestros usque ad captivitatem equorum vestrorum: et ascendere feci putredinem castrorum vestrorum in nares vestras: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.
11 I haue ouerthrowe you, as God ouerthrew Sodom and Gomorah: and ye were as a firebrand pluckt out of the burning: yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
Subverti vos, sicut subvertit Deus Sodomam, et Gomorrham, et facti estis quasi torris raptus ab incendio: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.
12 Therefore, thus wil I do vnto thee, O Israel: and because I wil doe this vnto thee, prepare to meete thy God, O Israel.
Quapropter haec faciam tibi Israel: postquam autem haec fecero tibi praeparare in occursum Dei tui Israel.
13 For lo, he that formeth the mountaines, and createth the winde, and declareth vnto man what is his thought: which maketh the morning darkenesse, and walketh vpon the hie places of the earth, the Lord God of hostes is his Name.
Quia ecce formans montes, et creans ventum, et annuncians homini eloquium suum, faciens matutinam nebulam, et gradiens super excelsa terrae: Dominus Deus exercituum nomen eius.
