Amos 7

1 This is what the LORD showed me: And look, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and look, it was the latter growth after the king's harvest.

haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus et ecce fictor lucustae in principio germinantium serotini imbris et ecce serotinus post tonsorem regis

2 It happened that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, "Lord GOD, forgive, I beg you. How could Jacob stand? For he is small."

et factum est cum consummasset comedere herbam terrae et dixi Domine Deus propitius esto obsecro quis suscitabit Iacob quia parvulus est

3 The LORD relented concerning this. "It shall not be," says the LORD.

misertus est Dominus super hoc non erit dixit Dominus

4 This is what the LORD showed me: And look, the LORD called for judgment by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land.

haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus et ecce vocabat iudicium ad ignem Dominus Deus et devoravit abyssum multam et comedit simul partem

5 Then I said, "LORD, stop, I beg you. How could Jacob stand? For he is small."

et dixi Domine Deus quiesce obsecro quis suscitabit Iacob quia parvulus est

6 The LORD relented concerning this. "This also shall not be," says the LORD.

misertus est Dominus super hoc sed et istud non erit dixit Dominus Deus

7 This is what the LORD showed me: And look, he was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.

haec ostendit mihi et ecce Dominus stans super murum litum et in manu eius trulla cementarii

8 And the LORD said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then the LORD said, "Look, I have set a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.

et dixit Dominus ad me quid tu vides Amos et dixi trullam cementarii et dixit Dominus ecce ego ponam trullam in medio populi mei Israhel non adiciam ultra superinducere eum

9 The high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword."

et demolientur excelsa idoli et sanctificationes Israhel desolabuntur et consurgam super domum Hieroboam in gladio

10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.

et misit Amasias sacerdos Bethel ad Hieroboam regem Israhel dicens rebellavit contra te Amos in medio domus Israhel non poterit terra sustinere universos sermones eius

11 For Amos says, 'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"

haec enim dicit Amos in gladio morietur Hieroboam et Israhel captivus migrabit de terra sua

12 Amaziah also said to Amos, "You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

et dixit Amasias ad Amos qui vides gradere fuge in terram Iuda et comede ibi panem et ibi prophetabis

13 but do not prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house."

et in Bethel non adicies ultra ut prophetes quia sanctificatio regis est et domus regni est

14 Then Amos answered Amaziah, "I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;

et respondit Amos et dixit ad Amasiam non sum propheta et non sum filius prophetae sed armentarius ego sum vellicans sycomoros

15 and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'

et tulit me Dominus cum sequerer gregem et dixit ad me Dominus vade propheta ad populum meum Israhel

16 Now therefore listen to the word of the LORD: 'You say, Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not proclaim against the house of Isaac.'

et nunc audi verbum Domini tu dicis non prophetabis super Israhel et non stillabis super domum idoli

17 Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"

propter hoc haec dicit Dominus uxor tua in civitate fornicabitur et filii tui et filiae tuae in gladio cadent et humus tua funiculo metietur et tu in terra polluta morieris et Israhel captivus migrabit de terra sua
