Amos 2
1 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his burning the bones of the king of Edom to lime,
Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Moab, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod incenderit ossa regis Idumææ usque ad cinerem.
2 And I have sent a fire against Moab, And it hath consumed the palaces of Kerioth, And dying with noise is Moab, With shouting, with voice of a trumpet.
Et mittam ignem in Moab, et devorabit ædes Carioth: et morietur in sonitu Moab, in clangore tubæ:
3 And I have cut off a judge from her midst, And all its heads I slay with him, said Jehovah.
et disperdam iudicem de medio eius, et omnes principes eius interficiam cum eo, dicit Dominus.
4 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, And for four, I do not reserve it, Because of their loathing the law of Jehovah, And His statutes they have not kept, And their lies do cause them to err, After which their fathers did walk,
Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Iuda, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod abiecerit legem Domini, et mandata eius non custodierit: deceperant enim eos idola sua, post quæ abierant patres eorum.
5 And I have sent a fire against Judah, And it hath consumed palaces of Jerusalem.
Et mittam ignem in Iuda, et devorabit ædes Ierusalem.
6 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their selling for silver the righteous, And the needy for a pair of sandals.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Israel, et super quattuor non convertam eum: pro eo quod vendiderit pro argento iustum, et pauperem pro calceamentis.
7 Who are panting for the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, And the way of the humble they turn aside, And a man and his father go unto the damsel, So as to pollute My holy name.
Qui conterunt super pulverem terræ capita pauperum, et viam humilium declinant: et filius ac pater eius ierunt ad puellam, ut violarent nomen sanctum meum.
8 And on pledged garments they stretch themselves near every altar, And the wine of fined ones they drink [in] the house of their gods.
Et super vestimentis pignoratis accubuerunt iuxta omne altare: et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui.
9 And I — I have destroyed the Amorite from before them, Whose height [is] as the height of cedars, And strong he [is] as the oaks, And I destroy his fruit from above, And his roots from beneath.
Ego autem exterminavi Amorrhæum a facie eorum: cuius altitudo, cedrorum altitudo eius, et fortis ipse quasi quercus: et contrivi fructum eius desuper, et radices eius subter.
10 And I — I have brought you up from the land of Egypt, And cause you to go in a wilderness forty years, To possess the land of the Amorite.
Ego sum, qui ascendere vos feci de Terra Ægypti, et duxi vos in deserto quadraginta annis ut possideretis terram Amorrhæi.
11 And I raise of your sons for prophets, And of your choice ones for Nazarites, Is not this true, O sons of Israel? An affirmation of Jehovah.
Et suscitavi de filiis vestris in prophetas, et de iuvenibus vestris nazaræos: numquid non ita est filii Israel dicit Dominus?
12 And ye cause the Nazarites to drink wine, And on the prophets ye have laid a charge, Saying, 'Do not prophecy!'
Et propinabitis nazaræis vinum: et prophetis mandabitis, dicentes: Ne prophetetis.
13 Lo, I am pressing you under, As the full cart doth press for itself a sheaf.
Ecce ego stridebo subter vos, sicut stridet plaustrum onustum fœno.
14 And perished hath refuge from the swift, And the strong strengtheneth not his power, And the mighty delivereth not his soul.
Et peribit fuga a veloce, et fortis non obtinebit virtutem suam, et robustus non salvabit animam suam:
15 And the handler of the bow standeth not, And the swift with his feet delivereth not [himself], And the rider of the horse delivereth not his soul.
et tenens arcum non stabit, et velox pedibus suis non salvabitur, et ascensor equi non salvabit animam suam:
16 And the courageous of heart among the mighty, Naked doth flee in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah!
et robustus corde inter fortes nudus fugiet in illa die, dicit Dominus.
