Amos 2

1 Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime;

haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Moab et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod incenderit ossa regis Idumeae usque ad cinerem

2 but I will send a fire on Moab, and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;

et mittam ignem in Moab et devorabit aedes Carioth et morietur in sonitu Moab in clangore tubae

3 and I will cut off the judge from their midst, and will kill all its officials with him," says Jehovah.

et disperdam iudicem de medio eius et omnes principes eius interficiam cum eo dicit Dominus

4 Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have rejected Jehovah's law, and have not kept his statutes. Their false idols which they made, after which their fathers walked, have led them astray.

haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Iuda et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod abiecerint legem Domini et mandata eius non custodierint deceperunt enim eos idola sua post quae abierant patres eorum

5 But I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem."

et mittam ignem in Iuda et devorabit aedes Hierusalem

6 Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;

haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Israhel et super quattuor non convertam eum pro eo quod vendiderit argento iustum et pauperem pro calciamentis

7 They trample on the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and deny justice to the oppressed; and a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name;

qui conterunt super pulverem terrae capita pauperum et viam humilium declinant et filius ac pater eius ierunt ad puellam ut violarent nomen sanctum meum

8 and they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.

et super vestimentis pigneratis accubuerunt iuxta omne altare et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui

9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

ego autem exterminavi Amorreum a facie eorum cuius altitudo cedrorum altitudo eius et fortis ipse quasi quercus et contrivi fructum eius desuper et radices eius subter

10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

ego sum qui ascendere vos feci de terra Aegypti et eduxi vos in deserto quadraginta annis ut possideretis terram Amorrei

11 I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn't this true, you children of Israel?" says Jehovah.

et suscitavi de filiis vestris in prophetas et de iuvenibus vestris nazarenos numquid non ita est filii Israhel dicit Dominus

12 "But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, 'Do not prophesy.'

et propinabatis nazarenis vino et prophetis mandabatis dicentes ne prophetetis

13 Look, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.

ecce ego stridebo super vos sicut stridet plaustrum onustum faeno

14 Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won't strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;

et peribit fuga a veloce et fortis non obtinebit virtutem suam et robustus non salvabit animam suam

15 neither shall he stand who handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot won't escape; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself;

et tenens arcum non stabit et velox pedibus suis non salvabitur et ascensor equi non salvabit animam suam

16 and he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day," says Jehovah.

et robustus corde inter fortes nudus fugiet in die illa dicit Dominus
