Amos 9
1 I saw the Lord standing by the altar; and he said: Smite the capital, so that the thresholds shall tremble! Break them in pieces upon the heads of all of them! And their residue will I slay with the sword. He that fleeth of them shall not flee from danger, And he that escapeth of them shall not escape into safety.
Vidi Dominum stantem super altare. et dixit: Percute cardinem, et commoveantur superliminaria: avaritia enim in capite omnium, et novissimum eorum in gladio interficiam: non erit fuga eis. Et qui fugerit ex eis non salvabitur.
2 Though they dig down to the under-world, Thence shall my hand take them; Though they climb up to heaven, Thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)
Si descenderint usque ad infernum, inde manus mea educet eos: et si ascenderint usque in caelum, inde detraham eos. (Sheol h7585)
3 Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, There will I search for them, and take them away; Though they hide themselves from mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, There will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them.
Et si absconditi fuerint in vertice Carmeli, inde scrutans auferam eos: et si celaverint se ab oculis meis in profundo maris, ibi mandabo serpenti, et mordebit eos.
4 Though they go into captivity before their enemies, There will I command the sword, and it shall slay them; I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
Et si abierint in captivitatem coram inimicis suis, ibi mandabo gladio, et occidet eos: et ponam oculos meos super eos in malum, et non in bonum.
5 For the Lord Jehovah of hosts Is he, that toucheth the earth, and it shall melt, And all that dwell therein shall mourn; All of it shall rise in waves like a river, And shall be overflowed, as by the river of Egypt;
Et Dominus Deus exercituum, qui tangit terram, et tabescet: et lugebunt omnes habitantes in ea: et ascendet sicut rivus omnis, et defluet sicut fluvius Aegypti.
6 He that buildeth his upper rooms in the heavens, And foundeth his arch upon the earth, —That calleth the waters of the sea, And poureth them out upon the face of the earth, —Jehovah is his name.
Qui aedificat in caelo ascensionem suam, et fasciculum suum super terram fundavit: qui vocat aquas maris, et effundit eas super faciem terrae, Dominus nomen eius.
7 Are ye not as the Ethiopians to me, O children of Israel? saith Jehovah. Did I not bring Israel from the land of Egypt, And the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
Numquid non ut filii Aethiopum vos estis mihi, filii Israel, ait Dominus? numquid non Israel ascendere feci de Terra Aegypti: et Palaesthinos de Cappadocia, et Syros de Cyrene?
8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah are upon the sinful kingdom, And I will destroy it from the face of the earth; Yet will I not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith Jehovah.
Ecce oculi Domini Dei super regnum peccans, et conteram illud a facie terrae: verumtamen conterens non conteram domum Iacob, dicit Dominus.
9 For, behold, I will command, And I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, As one sifteth corn with a sieve, And not a grain shall fall upon the ground.
Ecce enim mandabo ego, et concutiam in omnibus gentibus domum Israel, sicut concutitur triticum in cribro: et non cadet lapillus super terram.
10 But all the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, Who say, Evil shall not approach, nor fall upon us.
In gladio morientur omnes peccatores populi mei: qui dicunt: Non appropinquabit, et non veniet super nos malum.
11 In that day I will raise up the fallen tabernacle of David, And I will close up the breaches thereof, And raise up its ruins, And I will build it, as in the days of old.
In die illa suscitabo tabernaculum David, quod cecidit: et reaedificabo aperturas murorum eius, et ea quae corruerant, instaurabo: et reaedificabo illud sicut in diebus antiquis.
12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, And all the nations, which shall be called by my name. Thus saith Jehovah, who doeth this.
Ut possideant reliquias Idumaeae, et omnes nationes, eo quod invocatum sit nomen meum super eos: dicit Dominus faciens haec.
13 Behold the days come, saith Jehovah, That the plougher shall draw near to the reaper, And the treader of grapes to the sower of the seed; And the mountains shall drop new wine, And all the hills shall melt.
Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus: et comprehendet arator messorem, et calcator uvae mittentem semen: et stillabunt montes dulcedinem, et omnes colli culti erunt.
14 I will bring back the captives of my people Israel, And they shall build the desolate cities, and shall inhabit them; And they shall plant vineyards, and drink their wine; They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.
Et convertam captivitatem populi mei Israel: et aedificabunt civitates desertas, et inhabitabunt: et plantabunt vineas, et bibent vinum earum: et facient hortos, et comedent fructus eorum.
15 I will plant them in their land, And they shall no more be rooted up from the land which I have given them, Saith Jehovah, thy God.
Et plantabo eos super humum suam: et non evellam eos ultra de terra sua, quam dedi eis, dicit Dominus Deus tuus.
