Amos 5
1 Here ye this word, for Y reise on you a weilyng.
audite verbum istud quod ego levo super vos planctum domus Israhel cecidit non adiciet ut resurgat
2 The hous of Israel felle doun, he schal not put to, that it rise ayen; the virgyn of Israel is cast doun in to hir lond, noon is that schal reise hir.
virgo Israhel proiecta est in terram suam non est qui suscitet eam
3 For the Lord God seith these thingis, The citee of which a thousynde wenten out, an hundrid schulen be left ther ynne; and of which an hundrid wenten out, ten schulen be left ther ynne, in the hous of Israel.
quia haec dicit Dominus Deus urbs de qua egrediebantur mille relinquentur in ea centum et de qua egrediebantur centum relinquentur in ea decem in domo Israhel
4 For the Lord seith these thingis to the hous of Israel, Seke ye me, and ye schulen lyue;
quia haec dicit Dominus domui Israhel quaerite me et vivetis
5 and nyle ye seke Bethel, and nyle ye entre in to Galgala, and ye schulen not passe to Bersabee; for whi Galgal schal be led caitif, and Bethel schal be vnprofitable.
et nolite quaerere Bethel et in Galgala nolite intrare et in Bersabee non transibitis quia Galgala captiva ducetur et Bethel erit inutilis
6 Seke ye the Lord, and lyue ye, lest perauenture the hous of Joseph be brent as fier; and it schal deuoure Bethel, and there schal not be, that schal quenche.
quaerite Dominum et vivite ne forte conburatur ut ignis domus Ioseph et devorabit et non erit qui extinguat Bethel
7 Whiche conuerten doom in to wermod, and forsaken riytwisnesse in the lond,
qui convertitis in absinthium iudicium et iustitiam in terra relinquitis
8 and forsaken hym that makith Arture and Orion, and hym that turneth derknessis in to the morewtid, and him that chaungith dai in to niyt; which clepith watris of the see, and heldith out hem on the face of erthe; the Lord is name of hym.
facientem Arcturum et Orionem et convertentem in mane tenebras et diem nocte mutantem qui vocat aquas maris et effundit eas super faciem terrae Dominus nomen eius
9 Which scorneth distriyng on the stronge, and bringith robbyng on the myyti.
qui subridet vastitatem super robustum et depopulationem super potentem adfert
10 Thei hatiden a man repreuynge in the yate, and thei wlatiden a man spekynge perfitli.
odio habuerunt in porta corripientem et loquentem perfecte abominati sunt
11 Therfor for that that ye robbiden a pore man, and token fro hym the chosun prey, ye schulen bilde housis with square stoon, and ye schulen not dwelle in hem; ye schulen plaunte moost louyd vyneyerdis, and ye schulen not drynke the wyn of hem.
idcirco pro eo quod diripiebatis pauperem et praedam electam tollebatis ab eo domos quadro lapide aedificabitis et non habitabitis in eis vineas amantissimas plantabitis et non bibetis vinum earum
12 For Y knew youre grete trespassis many, and youre stronge synnes; enemyes of `the riytwis man, takynge yifte, and berynge doun pore men in the yate.
quia cognovi multa scelera vestra et fortia peccata vestra hostes iusti accipientes munus et pauperes in porta deprimentes
13 Therfor a prudent man schal be stille in that time, for the time is yuel.
ideo prudens in tempore illo tacebit quia tempus malum est
14 Seke ye good, and not yuel, that ye lyue, and the Lord God of oostis schal be with you, as ye seiden.
quaerite bonum et non malum ut vivatis et erit Dominus Deus exercituum vobiscum sicut dixistis
15 Hate ye yuel, and loue ye good, and ordeyne ye in the gate doom; if perauenture the Lord God of oostis haue merci on the remenauntis of Joseph.
odite malum et diligite bonum et constituite in porta iudicium si forte misereatur Dominus Deus exercituum reliquiis Ioseph
16 Therfor the Lord God of oostis, hauynge lordschipe, seith these thingis, Weilyng schal be in alle stretis, and in alle thingis that ben withoutforth it schal be seid, Wo! wo! and thei schulen clepe an erthe tilier to mourenyng, and hem that kunnen weile, to weilyng.
propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus exercituum Dominator in omnibus plateis planctus et in cunctis quae foris sunt dicetur vae vae et vocabunt agricolam ad luctum et ad planctum eos qui sciunt plangere
17 And weilyng schal be in alle weies, for Y schal passe forth in the myddil of `the see, seith the Lord.
et in omnibus vineis erit planctus quia pertransibo in medio tui dicit Dominus
18 Wo to hem that desiren the dai of the Lord; wher to desiren ye it to you? This dai of the Lord schal be derknessis, and not liyt.
vae desiderantibus diem Domini ad quid eam vobis dies Domini ista tenebrae et non lux
19 As if a man renne fro the face of a lioun, and a bere renne to hym; and he entre in to the hous, and lene with his hond on the wal, and a serpent dwellynge in schadewe bite hym.
quomodo si fugiat vir a facie leonis et occurrat ei ursus et ingrediatur domum et innitatur manu sua super parietem et mordeat eum coluber
20 Whether the dai of the Lord schal not be derknessis, and not liyt; and myist, and not schynyng ther ynne?
numquid non tenebrae dies Domini et non lux et caligo et non splendor in ea
21 Y hatide and castide awei youre feeste daies, and Y schal not take the odour of youre cumpenyes.
odi et proieci festivitates vestras et non capiam odorem coetuum vestrorum
22 That if ye offren to me youre brent sacrifices, and yiftis, Y schal not resseyue, and Y schal not biholde avowis of youre fatte thingis.
quod si adtuleritis mihi holocaustomata et munera vestra non suscipiam et vota pinguium vestrorum non respiciam
23 Do thou awei fro me the noise of thi songis, and Y schal not here the songis of thin harpe.
aufer a me tumultum carminum tuorum et cantica lyrae tuae non audiam
24 And doom schal be schewid as watir, and riytfulnesse as a strong streem.
et revelabitur quasi aqua iudicium et iustitia quasi torrens fortis
25 Whether ye, the hous of Israel, offriden to me sacrifices for enemyes to be ouercomun, and sacrifice in desert fourti yeeris?
numquid hostias et sacrificium obtulistis mihi in deserto quadraginta annis domus Israhel
26 And ye han bore tabernaclis to Moloch, youre god, and ymage of youre idols, the sterre of youre god, which ye maden to you.
et portastis tabernaculum Moloch vestro et imaginem idolorum vestrorum sidus dei vestri quae fecistis vobis
27 And Y schal make you for to passe ouer Damask, seide the Lord; God of oostis is the name of him.
et migrare vos faciam trans Damascum dixit Dominus Deus exercituum nomen eius
