Amos 3
1 Sones of Israel, here ye the word which the Lord spak on you, and on al the kynrede, which Y ledde out of the lond of Egipt,
Audite verbum, quod locutus est Dominus super vos, filii Israel: super omnem cognationem, quam eduxi de Terra Aegypti, dicens:
2 and seide, Oneli Y knewe you of alle the kynredis of erthe; therfor Y schal visite on you alle youre wickidnessis.
Tantummodo vos cognovi ex omnibus cognationibus terrae: idcirco visitabo super vos omnes iniquitates vestras.
3 Whether tweyne schulen go togidere, no but it acorde to hem?
Numquid ambulabunt duo pariter, nisi convenerit eis?
4 Whether a lioun schal rore in a forest, no but he haue prey? Whether the whelp of a lioun schal yyue vois fro his denne, no but he take ony thing?
Numquid rugiet leo in saltu, nisi habuerit praedam? numquid dabit catulus leonis vocem de cubili suo, nisi aliquid apprehenderit?
5 Whether a brid schal falle in to a snare of erthe, with outen a foulere? Whether a snare schal be takun awei fro erthe, bifor that it tak sum thing?
numquid cadet avis in laqueum terrae absque aucupe? numquid auferetur laqueus de terra antequam quid ceperit?
6 Whether a trumpe schal sowne in a citee, and the puple schal not drede? Whether yuel schal be in a citee, which yuel the Lord schal not make?
Si clanget tuba in civitate, et populus non expavescet? si erit malum in civitate, quod Dominus non fecerit?
7 For the Lord God schal not make a word, no but he schewe his priuyte to hise seruauntis profetis.
Quia non facit Dominus Deus verbum, nisi revelaverit secretum suum ad servos suos prophetas.
8 A lioun schal rore, who schal not drede? the Lord God spak, who schal not profesie?
Leo rugiet, quis non timebit? Dominus Deus locutus est, quis non prophetabit?
9 Make ye herd in the housis of Azotus, and in the housis of the lond of Egipt; and seie ye, Be ye gaderid togidere on the hillis of Samarye, and se ye many woodnessis in the myddis therof, and hem that suffren fals calenge in the priuy places therof.
Auditum facite in aedibus Azoti, et in aedibus Terrae Aegypti: et dicite: Congregamini super montes Samariae, et videte insanias multas in medio eius, et calumniam patientes in penetralibus eius.
10 And thei kouden not do riytful thing, seith the Lord, and tresouriden wickidnesse and raueyn in her housis.
Et nescierunt facere rectum, dicit Dominus, thesaurizantes iniquitatem, et rapinas in aedibus suis.
11 Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, The lond schal be troblid, and be cumpassid; and thi strengthe schal be drawun doun of thee, and thin housis schulen be rauyschid.
Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Tribulabitur et circuietur terra: et detrahetur ex te fortitudo tua, et diripientur aedes tuae.
12 The Lord God seith these thingis, As if a schepherd rauyschith fro the mouth of a lioun tweyne hipis, ether the laste thing of the eere, so the children of Israel schulen be rauyschid, that dwellen in Samarie, in the cuntrei of bed, and in the bed of Damask.
Haec dicit Dominus: Quomodo si eruat pastor de ore leonis duo crura, aut extremum auriculae: sic eruentur filii Israel, qui habitant in Samaria in plaga lectuli, et in Damasci grabato.
13 Here ye, and witnesse ye in the hous of Jacob, seith the Lord God of oostis.
Audite, et contestamini in domo Iacob, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum:
14 For in the dai, whanne Y schal bigynne to visite the trespassyngis of Israel on hym, Y schal visite also on the auteris of Bethel; and the hornes of the auter schulen be kit awei, and schulen falle doun in to erthe.
quia in die cum visitare coepero praevaricationes Israel, super eum visitabo, et super altaria Bethel: et amputabuntur cornua altaris, et cadent in terram.
15 And Y schal smyte the wynter hous with the somer hous, and the housis of yuer schulen perische, and many housis schulen be distried, seith the Lord.
Et percutiam domum hiemalem cum domo aestiva: et peribunt domus eburneae, et dissipabuntur aedes multae, dicit Dominus.
