Amos 7
1 Thus has the Lord God showed me; and, behold, a swarm of locusts coming from the east; and, behold, one caterpillar, king Gog.
Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: et ecce fictor locustæ in principio germinantium serotini imbris, et ecce serotinus post tonsionem regis.
2 And it came to pass when he had finished devouring the grass of the land, that I said, Lord God, be merciful; who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number.
Et factum est: cum consummasset comedere herbam terræ, dixi: Domine Deus propitius esto, obsecro: quis suscitabit Iacob, quia parvulus est?
3 Repent, O Lord, for this. And this shall not be, says the Lord.
Misertus est Dominus super hoc: Non erit, dixit Dominus.
4 Thus has the Lord showed me; and, behold, the Lord called for judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and devoured the Lord's portion.
Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: et ecce vocabat iudicium ad ignem Dominus Deus: et devoravit abyssum multam, et comedit simul partem.
5 Then I said, O Lord, cease, I pray you: who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number. Repent, O Lord, for this.
Et dixi: Domine Deus quiesce, obsecro: quis suscitabit Iacob, quia parvulus est?
6 This also shall not be, says the Lord.
Misertus est Dominus super hoc: Sed et istud non erit, dixit Dominus Deus.
7 Thus the Lord showed me; and behold, he stood upon a wall of adamant, and in his hand [was] an adamant.
Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus: et ecce Dominus stans super murum litum, et in manu eius trulla cæmentarii.
8 And the Lord said to me, What see you, Amos? And I said, An adamant. And the Lord said to me, Behold, I appoint an adamant in the midst of my people Israel: I will not pass by them any more.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Quid tu vides Amos? Et dixi: Trullam cæmentarii. Et dixit Dominus: Ecce ego ponam trullam in medio populi mei Israel: non adiiciam ultra superinducere eum.
9 And the joyful altars shall be abolished, and the sacrifices of Israel shall be set aside; and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
Et demolientur excelsa idoli, et sanctificationes Israel desolabuntur: et consurgam super domum Ieroboam in gladio.
10 Then Amasias the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos is forming conspiracies against you in the midst of the house of Israel: the land will be utterly unable to bear all his words.
Et misit Amasias sacerdos Bethel ad Ieroboam regem Israel, dicens: Rebellavit contra te Amos in medio domus Israel: non poterit terra sustinere universos sermones eius.
11 For thus says Amos, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be led away captive from his land.
Hæc enim dicit Amos: In gladio morietur Ieroboam, et Israel captivus migrabit de terra sua:
12 And Amasias said to Amos, Go, seer, remove you into the land of Juda, and live there, and you shall prophesy there:
Et dixit Amasias ad Amos: Qui vides, gradere, fuge in terram Iuda: et comede ibi panem, et prophetabis ibi.
13 but you shall no longer prophesy at Bethel: for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the royal house.
Et in Bethel non adiicies ultra ut prophetes: quia sanctificatio regis est, et domus regni est.
14 And Amos answered, and said to Amasias, I was not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet; but I was a herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruits.
Responditque Amos, et dixit ad Amasiam: Non sum propheta, et non sum filius prophetæ: sed armentarius ego sum vellicans sycomoros.
15 And the Lord took me from the sheep, and the Lord said to me, Go, and prophesy to my people Israel.
Et tulit me Dominus cum sequerer gregem: et dixit Dominus ad me: Vade propheta ad populum meum Israel.
16 And now hear the word of the Lord: You say, Prophesy not to Israel, and raise not a tumult against the house of Jacob.
Et nunc audi verbum Domini: Tu dicis: Non prophetabis super Israel, et non stillabis super domum idoli.
17 Therefore thus says the Lord; Your wife shall be a harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be measured with the line; and you shall die in an unclean land; and Israel shall be led captive out of his land. Thus has the Lord God showed me.
Propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus: Uxor tua in civitate fornicabitur: et filii tui, et filiæ tuæ in gladio cadent, et humus tua funiculo metietur: et tu in terra polluta morieris, et Israel captivus migrabit de terra sua.
