Amos Propheta 2
1 Haec dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Moab, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod incenderit ossa regis Idumaeae usque ad cinerem.
Thus says YHWH: "For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime;
2 Et mittam ignem in Moab, et devorabit aedes Carioth: et morietur in sonitu Moab, in clangore tubae:
but I will send a fire on Moab, and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;
3 et disperdam iudicem de medio eius, et omnes principes eius interficiam cum eo, dicit Dominus.
and I will cut off the judge from their midst, and will kill all its officials with him," says YHWH.
4 Haec 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 quae abierant patres eorum.
Thus says YHWH: "For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have rejected YHWH's law, and have not kept his statutes. Their false idols which they made, after which their fathers walked, have led them astray.
5 Et mittam ignem in Iuda, et devorabit aedes Ierusalem.
But I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem."
6 Haec dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Israel, et super quattuor non convertam eum: pro eo quod vendiderit pro argento iustum, et pauperem pro calceamentis.
Thus says YHWH: "For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
7 Qui conterunt super pulverem terrae capita pauperum, et viam humilium declinant: et filius ac pater eius ierunt ad puellam, ut violarent nomen sanctum meum.
They trample on the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and deny justice to the oppressed; and a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name;
8 Et super vestimentis pignoratis accubuerunt iuxta omne altare: et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui.
and they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
9 Ego autem exterminavi Amorrhaeum a facie eorum: cuius altitudo, cedrorum altitudo eius, et fortis ipse quasi quercus: et contrivi fructum eius desuper, et radices eius subter.
Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10 Ego sum, qui ascendere vos feci de Terra Aegypti, et duxi vos in deserto quadraginta annis ut possideretis terram Amorrhaei.
Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 Et suscitavi de filiis vestris in prophetas, et de iuvenibus vestris nazaraeos: numquid non ita est filii Israel dicit Dominus?
I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn't this true, you children of Israel?" says YHWH.
12 Et propinabitis nazaraeis vinum: et prophetis mandabitis, dicentes: Ne prophetetis.
"But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, 'Do not prophesy.'
13 Ecce ego stridebo subter vos, sicut stridet plaustrum onustum foeno.
Look, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
14 Et peribit fuga a veloce, et fortis non obtinebit virtutem suam, et robustus non salvabit animam suam:
Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won't strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;
15 et tenens arcum non stabit, et velox pedibus suis non salvabitur, et ascensor equi non salvabit animam suam:
neither shall he stand who handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot won't escape; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself;
16 et robustus corde inter fortes nudus fugiet in illa die, dicit Dominus.
and he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day," says YHWH.
