Amos 7

1 The Lord God schewide these thingis to me; and lo! a makere of locust in bigynnyng of buriownynge thingis of euentid reyn, and lo! euentid reyn after the clippere of the kyng.

haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus et ecce fictor lucustae in principio germinantium serotini imbris et ecce serotinus post tonsorem regis

2 And it was don, whanne he hadde endid for to ete the erbe of erthe, Y seide, Lord God, Y biseche, be thou merciful; who schal reise Jacob, for he is litil?

et factum est cum consummasset comedere herbam terrae et dixi Domine Deus propitius esto obsecro quis suscitabit Iacob quia parvulus est

3 The Lord hadde merci on this thing; It schal not be, seide the Lord God.

misertus est Dominus super hoc non erit dixit Dominus

4 The Lord God schewide to me these thingis; and lo! the Lord God schal clepe doom to fier, and it schal deuoure myche depthe of watir, and it eet togidere a part.

haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus et ecce vocabat iudicium ad ignem Dominus Deus et devoravit abyssum multam et comedit simul partem

5 And Y seide, Lord God, Y biseche, reste thou; who schal reise Jacob, for he is litil?

et dixi Domine Deus quiesce obsecro quis suscitabit Iacob quia parvulus est

6 The Lord hadde merci on this thing; But and this thing schal not be, seide the Lord God.

misertus est Dominus super hoc sed et istud non erit dixit Dominus Deus

7 The Lord God schewide to me these thingis; and lo! the Lord stondinge on a wal plastrid, and in the hond of hym was a trulle of a masoun.

haec ostendit mihi et ecce Dominus stans super murum litum et in manu eius trulla cementarii

8 And the Lord seide to me, What seest thou, Amos? And Y seide, A trulle of a masoun. And the Lord seide, Lo! I schal putte a trulle in the myddil of my puple Israel; Y schal no more putte to, for to ouerlede it;

et dixit Dominus ad me quid tu vides Amos et dixi trullam cementarii et dixit Dominus ecce ego ponam trullam in medio populi mei Israhel non adiciam ultra superinducere eum

9 and the hiy thingis of idol schulen be distried, and the halewyngis of Israel schulen be desolat; and Y schal rise on the hous of Jeroboam bi swerd.

et demolientur excelsa idoli et sanctificationes Israhel desolabuntur et consurgam super domum Hieroboam in gladio

10 And Amasie, prest of Bethel, sente to Jeroboam, kyng of Israel, and seide, Amos rebellide ayens thee, in the myddil of the hous of Israel; the lond mai not susteyne alle hise wordis.

et misit Amasias sacerdos Bethel ad Hieroboam regem Israhel dicens rebellavit contra te Amos in medio domus Israhel non poterit terra sustinere universos sermones eius

11 For Amos seith these thingis, Jeroboam schal die bi swerd, and Israel caitif schal passe fro his lond.

haec enim dicit Amos in gladio morietur Hieroboam et Israhel captivus migrabit de terra sua

12 And Amasie seide to Amos, Thou that seest, go; fle thou in to the lond of Juda, and ete thou there thi breed; and there thou schalt profesie.

et dixit Amasias ad Amos qui vides gradere fuge in terram Iuda et comede ibi panem et ibi prophetabis

13 And thou schalt no more put to, that thou profesie in Bethel, for it is the halewyng of the king, and is the hous of the rewme.

et in Bethel non adicies ultra ut prophetes quia sanctificatio regis est et domus regni est

14 And Amos answeride, and seide to Amasie, Y am not a profete, and Y am not sone of profete; but an herde of neet Y am, drawyng vp sicomoris.

et respondit Amos et dixit ad Amasiam non sum propheta et non sum filius prophetae sed armentarius ego sum vellicans sycomoros

15 And the Lord took me, whanne Y suede the floc; and the Lord seide to me, Go, and profesie thou to my puple Israel.

et tulit me Dominus cum sequerer gregem et dixit ad me Dominus vade propheta ad populum meum Israhel

16 And now here thou the word of the Lord. Thou seist, Thou schalt not profesie on Israel, and thou schal not droppe on the hous of idol.

et nunc audi verbum Domini tu dicis non prophetabis super Israhel et non stillabis super domum idoli

17 For this thing the Lord seith these thingis, Thi wijf schal do fornicacioun in the citee, and thi sones and thi douytris schal falle bi swerd, and thi lond schal be motun with a litil coord; and thou schalt die in a pollutid lond, and Israel caitif schal passe fro his lond.

propter hoc haec dicit Dominus uxor tua in civitate fornicabitur et filii tui et filiae tuae in gladio cadent et humus tua funiculo metietur et tu in terra polluta morieris et Israhel captivus migrabit de terra sua
