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.
This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Moab, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.
2 Et mittam ignem in Moab, et devorabit aedes Carioth: et morietur in sonitu Moab, in clangore tubae:
I will send fire on Moab, and it will devour the fortresses of Kerioth. Moab will die in an uproar, with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.
3 et disperdam iudicem de medio eius, et omnes principes eius interficiam cum eo, dicit Dominus.
I will destroy the judge in her, and I will kill all the princes with him,” says Yahweh.
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.
This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Judah, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they rejected the law of Yahweh and did not keep his statutes. Their lies caused them to go astray, after which their fathers had also walked.
5 Et mittam ignem in Iuda, et devorabit aedes Ierusalem.
I will send fire on Judah, and it will devour the fortresses 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.
This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Israel, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they sold the innocent for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals.
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 heads of the poor as people trample on dust on the ground; they push the oppressed away. A man and his father sleep with the same girl and so profane my holy name.
8 Et super vestimentis pignoratis accubuerunt iuxta omne altare: et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui.
They lie down beside every altar on clothes taken as pledges, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who were 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 cedars; he was strong as the oaks. Yet I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below.
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 Amorites.
11 Et suscitavi de filiis vestris in prophetas, et de iuvenibus vestris nazaraeos: numquid non ita est filii Israel dicit Dominus?
I raised up prophets from among your sons and Nazirites from your young men. Is it not so, people of Israel? —this is Yahweh's declaration.
12 Et propinabitis nazaraeis vinum: et prophetis mandabitis, dicentes: Ne prophetetis.
But you persuaded the Nazirites to drink wine and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
13 Ecce ego stridebo subter vos, sicut stridet plaustrum onustum foeno.
Look, I will crush you as a cart that is full of grain can crush someone.
14 Et peribit fuga a veloce, et fortis non obtinebit virtutem suam, et robustus non salvabit animam suam:
The swift will find no escape; the strong will not add to his own strength; neither will the mighty save himself.
15 et tenens arcum non stabit, et velox pedibus suis non salvabitur, et ascensor equi non salvabit animam suam:
The archer will not stand; the fast runner will not escape; the horseman will not save himself.
16 et robustus corde inter fortes nudus fugiet in illa die, dicit Dominus.
Even the bravest warriors will flee naked in that day —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
