Amos 4
1 Hear this word, ye heifers of Bashan, that [are] in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.
Audite verbum hoc vaccæ pingues, quæ estis in monte Samariæ: quæ calumniam facitis egenis, et confringitis pauperes: quæ dicitis dominis vestris: Afferte, et bibemus.
2 The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fish-hooks,
Iuravit Dominus Deus in sancto suo: quia ecce dies venient super vos, et levabunt vos in contis, et reliquias vestras in ollis ferventibus.
3 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every [cow at that which is] before her; and ye shall cast [them] into the palace, saith the LORD.
Et per aperturas exibitis altera contra alteram, et proiiciemini in Armon, dicit Dominus.
4 Come to Beth-el and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, [and] your tithes after three years:
Venite ad Bethel, et impie agite: ad Galgalam, et multiplicate prævaricationem: et afferte mane victimas vestras, tribus diebus decimas vestras.
5 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim [and] publish the free-offerings: for this pleaseth you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
Et sacrificate de fermentato laudem: et vocate voluntarias oblationes, et annunciate: sic enim voluistis, filii Israel, dicit Dominus Deus.
6 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned to me, saith the LORD.
Unde et ego dedi vobis stuporem dentium in cunctis urbibus vestris, et indigentiam panum in omnibus locis vestris: et non estis reversi ad me, dicit Dominus.
7 And also I have withheld the rain from you, when [there were] yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece on which it rained not withered.
Ego quoque prohibui a vobis imbrem, cum adhuc tres menses superessent usque ad messem: et plui super unam civitatem, et super alteram civitatem non plui: pars una compluta est; et pars super quam non plui, aruit.
8 So two [or] three cities wandered to one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned to me, saith the LORD.
Et venerunt duæ et tres civitates ad unam civitatem ut biberent aquam, et non sunt satiatæ: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.
9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig-trees and your olive-trees increased, the palmer-worm devoured [them]: yet have ye not returned to me, saith the LORD.
Percussi vos in vento urente, et in aurugine, multitudinem hortorum vestrorum, et vinearum vestrarum: oliveta vestra, et ficeta vestra comedit eruca: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.
10 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the ill savor of your camps to come up to your nostrils: yet have ye not returned to me, saith the LORD.
Misi in vos mortem in via Ægypti, percussi in gladio iuvenes vestros usque ad captivitatem equorum vestrorum: et ascendere feci putredinem castrorum vestrorum in nares vestras: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.
11 I have overthrown [some] of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a fire-brand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned to me, saith the LORD.
Subverti vos, sicut subvertit Deus Sodomam, et Gomorrham, et facti estis quasi torris raptus ab incendio: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.
12 Therefore thus will I do to thee, O Israel: [and] because I will do this to thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
Quapropter hæc faciam tibi Israel: postquam autem hæc fecero tibi præparare in occursum Dei tui Israel.
13 For lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth to man what [is] his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, [is] his name.
Quia ecce formans montes, et creans ventum, et annuncians homini eloquium suum, faciens matutinam nebulam, et gradiens super excelsa terræ: Dominus Deus exercituum nomen eius.
