Amos 8
1 This is what YHWH showed me: And look, a basket of summer fruit.
haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus et ecce uncinus pomorum
2 He said, "Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then YHWH said to me, "The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again 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 The songs of the temple will be wailings in that day," says YHWH. "The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.
et stridebunt cardines templi in die illa dicit Dominus Deus multi morientur in omni loco proicietur silentium
4 Hear this, you who trample the needy, and destroy the poor of the land,
audite hoc qui conteritis pauperem et deficere facitis egenos terrae
5 saying, 'When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
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 a pair of shoes, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?'"
ut possideamus in argento egenos et pauperes pro calciamentis et quisquilias frumenti vendamus
7 YHWH has sworn by the pride of Jacob, "Surely I will never forget any of their works.
iuravit Dominus in superbia Iacob si oblitus fuero usque ad finem omnia opera eorum
8 Won't the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like 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 It will happen in that day," says YHWH, "that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
et erit in die illa dicit Dominus occidet sol meridie et tenebrescere faciam terram in die luminis
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.
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 Look, the days come," says YHWH, "that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of YHWH.
ecce dies veniunt dicit Dominus et mittam famem in terram non famem panis neque sitim aquae sed audiendi verbum Domini
12 They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the word of YHWH, and will 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 the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.
in die illa deficient virgines pulchrae et adulescentes in siti
14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, 'As your god, Dan, lives;' and, 'As the way of Beersheba lives;' they will fall, and never rise up again."
qui iurant in delicto Samariae et dicunt vivit deus tuus Dan et vivit via Bersabee et cadent et non resurgent ultra
