Amos Propheta 4

1 Audite verbum hoc vaccae pingues, quae estis in monte Samariae: quae calumniam facitis egenis, et confringitis pauperes: quae dicitis dominis vestris: Afferte, et bibemus.

Hear this word, you cows of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.

2 Iuravit Dominus Deus in sancto suo: quia ecce dies venient super vos, et levabunt vos in contis, et reliquias vestras in ollis ferventibus.

The Lord GOD has sworn by his holiness, that, see, the days shall come on you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.

3 Et per aperturas exibitis altera contra alteram, et proiiciemini in Armon, dicit Dominus.

And you shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and you shall cast them into the palace, says the LORD.

4 Venite ad Bethel, et impie agite: ad Galgalam, et multiplicate praevaricationem: et afferte mane victimas vestras, tribus diebus decimas vestras.

Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:

5 Et sacrificate de fermentato laudem: et vocate voluntarias oblationes, et annunciate: sic enim voluistis, filii Israel, dicit Dominus Deus.

And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this likes you, O you children of Israel, says the Lord GOD.

6 Unde et ego dedi vobis stuporem dentium in cunctis urbibus vestris, et indigentiam panum in omnibus locis vestris: et non estis reversi ad me, dicit Dominus.

And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have you not returned to me, says the LORD.

7 Ego quoque prohibui a vobis imbrem, cum adhuc tres menses superessent usque ad messem: et plui super unam civitatem, et super alteram civitatem non plui: pars una compluta est; et pars super quam non plui, aruit.

And also I have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city: one piece was rained on, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.

8 Et venerunt duae et tres civitates ad unam civitatem ut biberent aquam, et non sunt satiatae: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.

So two or three cities wandered to one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have you not returned to me, says the LORD.

9 Percussi vos in vento urente, et in aurugine, multitudinem hortorum vestrorum, et vinearum vestrarum: oliveta vestra, et ficeta vestra comedit eruca: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.

I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have you not returned to me, says the LORD.

10 Misi in vos mortem in via Aegypti, percussi in gladio iuvenes vestros usque ad captivitatem equorum vestrorum: et ascendere feci putredinem castrorum vestrorum in nares vestras: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.

I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up to your nostrils: yet have you not returned to me, says the LORD.

11 Subverti vos, sicut subvertit Deus Sodomam, et Gomorrham, et facti estis quasi torris raptus ab incendio: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.

I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have you not returned to me, says the LORD.

12 Quapropter haec faciam tibi Israel: postquam autem haec fecero tibi praeparare in occursum Dei tui Israel.

Therefore thus will I do to you, O Israel: and because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.

13 Quia ecce formans montes, et creans ventum, et annuncians homini eloquium suum, faciens matutinam nebulam, et gradiens super excelsa terrae: Dominus Deus exercituum nomen eius.

For, see, he that forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought, that makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.
