Amos 8
1 This is what the Lord Yahweh showed me. Look, a basket of summer fruit!
haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus et ecce uncinus pomorum
2 He said, “What do you see, Amos?” I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then Yahweh said to me, “The end has come for my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.
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 become wailings in that day —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh— many dead bodies, they are thrown everywhere! Silence!”
et stridebunt cardines templi in die illa dicit Dominus Deus multi morientur in omni loco proicietur silentium
4 Listen to this, you who trample the needy and remove the poor of the land.
audite hoc qui conteritis pauperem et deficere facitis egenos terrae
5 They say, “When will the new moon be over, so we can sell grain again? When will the Sabbath day be over, so that we can sell wheat? We will make the measure small and increase the price, as we cheat with false scales.
dicentes quando transibit mensis et venundabimus merces et sabbatum et aperiemus frumentum ut inminuamus mensuram et augeamus siclum et subponamus stateras dolosas
6 This is so we can sell bad wheat, buy the poor with silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals.”
ut possideamus in argento egenos et pauperes pro calciamentis et quisquilias frumenti vendamus
7 Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob, “Surely I will never forget any of their actions.”
iuravit Dominus in superbia Iacob si oblitus fuero usque ad finem omnia opera eorum
8 Will not the land quake for this, and every one who lives in it mourn? All of it will rise up like the Nile River, and it will be tossed about 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 come in that day —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh— that I will make the sun set at noon, and I will darken the earth at daylight.
et erit in die illa dicit Dominus occidet sol meridie et tenebrescere faciam terram in die luminis
10 I will turn your festivals into mourning and all your songs into lamentation. I will make all of you wear sackcloth and have baldness on every head. I will make it like mourning for an only son, and a bitter day to its end.
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 are coming —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh— when I will send a famine in the land, not a famine for bread, nor of thirst for water, but for hearing the words of Yahweh.
ecce dies veniunt dicit Dominus et mittam famem in terram non famem panis neque sitim aquae sed audiendi verbum Domini
12 They will stagger from sea to sea; they will run from the north to the east to seek the word of Yahweh, but they 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 from 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 lives, Dan,' and, 'As the way to Beersheba exists'— they will fall and never rise again.”
qui iurant in delicto Samariae et dicunt vivit deus tuus Dan et vivit via Bersabee et cadent et non resurgent ultra
