Amos 8
1 And behold a fowler's basket.
haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus et ecce uncinus pomorum
2 And he said, What see you, Amos? And I said, A fowler's basket. And the Lord said to me, The end is come upon my people Israel; I will not pass by them any more.
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 And the ceilings of the temple shall howl in that day, says the Lord God: [there shall be] many a fallen one in every place; I will bring silence upon [them].
et stridebunt cardines templi in die illa dicit Dominus Deus multi morientur in omni loco proicietur silentium
4 Hear now this, you that oppress the poor in the morning, and drive the needy ones by tyranny from the earth,
audite hoc qui conteritis pauperem et deficere facitis egenos terrae
5 saying, When will the month pass away, and we shall sell, and the sabbath, and we shall open the treasure, to make the measure small, and to enlarge the weight, and make the balance unfair?
dicentes quando transibit mensis et venundabimus merces et sabbatum et aperiemus frumentum ut inminuamus mensuram et augeamus siclum et subponamus stateras dolosas
6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for shoes; and we will trade in every kind of fruit.
ut possideamus in argento egenos et pauperes pro calciamentis et quisquilias frumenti vendamus
7 The Lord swears against the pride of Jacob, None of your works shall ever be forgotten.
iuravit Dominus in superbia Iacob si oblitus fuero usque ad finem omnia opera eorum
8 And shall not the land be troubled for these things, and shall not every one who dwells in it mourn? whereas destruction shall come up as a river, and shall descend as the river of Egypt.
numquid super isto non commovebitur terra et lugebit omnis habitator eius et ascendet quasi fluvius universus et eicietur et defluet quasi rivus Aegypti
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord God, [that] the sun shall go down at noon, and the light shall be darkened on the earth by day:
et erit in die illa dicit Dominus occidet sol meridie et tenebrescere faciam terram in die luminis
10 and I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head; and I will make them as the mourning of a beloved [friend], and those with them as a day of grief.
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 Behold, the days come, says the Lord, that I will send forth a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the word of the Lord.
ecce dies veniunt dicit Dominus et mittam famem in terram non famem panis neque sitim aquae sed audiendi verbum Domini
12 And the waters shall be troubled from sea to sea, and from the north to the east shall [men] run hither and there, seeking the word of the Lord, and they shall not find [it].
et commovebuntur a mari usque ad mare et ab aquilone usque ad orientem circumibunt quaerentes verbum Domini et non invenient
13 In that day shall the fair virgins and the young men faint for thirst;
in die illa deficient virgines pulchrae et adulescentes in siti
14 they who swear by the propitiation of Samaria, and who say, Your god, O Dan, lives; and, Your god, O Bersabee, lives; and they shall fall, and shall no more rise again.
qui iurant in delicto Samariae et dicunt vivit deus tuus Dan et vivit via Bersabee et cadent et non resurgent ultra
