Amos 2
1 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Moab, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Moab, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod incenderit ossa regis Idumææ usque ad cinerem.
2 but I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:
Et mittam ignem in Moab, et devorabit ædes Carioth: et morietur in sonitu Moab, in clangore tubæ:
3 and I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.
et disperdam iudicem de medio eius, et omnes principes eius interficiam cum eo, dicit Dominus.
4 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Judah, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have rejected the law of the LORD, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have caused them to err, after the which their fathers did walk:
Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Iuda, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod abiecerit legem Domini, et mandata eius non custodierit: deceperant enim eos idola sua, post quæ abierant patres eorum.
5 but I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
Et mittam ignem in Iuda, et devorabit ædes Ierusalem.
6 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Israel, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have sold the righteous for silver and the needy for a pair of shoes:
Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Israel, et super quattuor non convertam eum: pro eo quod vendiderit pro argento iustum, et pauperem pro calceamentis.
7 that pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go unto the [same] maid, to profane my holy name:
Qui conterunt super pulverem terræ 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 upon clothes taken in pledge, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of such as have been fined.
Et super vestimentis pignoratis accubuerunt iuxta omne altare: et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui.
9 Yet destroyed I 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 Amorrhæum 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 Ægypti, et duxi vos in deserto quadraginta annis ut possideretis terram Amorrhæi.
11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD.
Et suscitavi de filiis vestris in prophetas, et de iuvenibus vestris nazaræos: numquid non ita est filii Israel dicit Dominus?
12 But ye gave the Nazirites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
Et propinabitis nazaræis vinum: et prophetis mandabitis, dicentes: Ne prophetetis.
13 Behold, I will press [you] in your place, as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves.
Ecce ego stridebo subter vos, sicut stridet plaustrum onustum fœno.
14 And flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not 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 that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver [himself]: neither shall he that rideth 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 that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
et robustus corde inter fortes nudus fugiet in illa die, dicit Dominus.
