Amos Propheta 5
1 Audite verbum istud, quod ego levo super vos planctum. Domus Israel cecidit, et non adiiciet ut resurgat.
Here ye this word, for Y reise on you a weilyng.
2 Virgo Israel proiecta est in terram suam, non est qui suscitet eam.
The hous of Israel felle doun, he schal not put to, that it rise ayen; the virgyn of Israel is cast doun in to hir lond, noon is that schal reise hir.
3 Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Urbs, de qua egrediebantur mille, relinquentur in ea centum: et de qua egrediebantur centum, relinquentur in ea decem in domo Israel.
For the Lord God seith these thingis, The citee of which a thousynde wenten out, an hundrid schulen be left ther ynne; and of which an hundrid wenten out, ten schulen be left ther ynne, in the hous of Israel.
4 Quia haec dicit Dominus domui Israel: Quaerite me, et vivetis.
For the Lord seith these thingis to the hous of Israel, Seke ye me, and ye schulen lyue;
5 Et nolite quaerere Bethel, et in Galgalam nolite intrare, et in Bersabee non transibitis: quia Galgala captiva ducetur, et Bethel erit inutilis.
and nyle ye seke Bethel, and nyle ye entre in to Galgala, and ye schulen not passe to Bersabee; for whi Galgal schal be led caitif, and Bethel schal be vnprofitable.
6 Quaerite Dominum, et vivite: ne forte comburatur ut ignis domus Ioseph, et devorabit, et non erit qui extinguat Bethel.
Seke ye the Lord, and lyue ye, lest perauenture the hous of Joseph be brent as fier; and it schal deuoure Bethel, and there schal not be, that schal quenche.
7 Qui convertitis in absinthium iudicium, et iustitiam in terra relinquitis.
Whiche conuerten doom in to wermod, and forsaken riytwisnesse in the lond,
8 Facientem Arcturum, et Orionem, et convertentem in mane tenebras, et diem in noctem mutantem: qui vocat aquas maris, et effundit eas super faciem terrae: Dominus nomen est eius.
and forsaken hym that makith Arture and Orion, and hym that turneth derknessis in to the morewtid, and him that chaungith dai in to niyt; which clepith watris of the see, and heldith out hem on the face of erthe; the Lord is name of hym.
9 Qui subridet vastitatem super robustum, et depopulationem super potentem affert.
Which scorneth distriyng on the stronge, and bringith robbyng on the myyti.
10 Odio habuerunt corripientem in porta: et loquentem perfecte abominati sunt.
Thei hatiden a man repreuynge in the yate, and thei wlatiden a man spekynge perfitli.
11 Idcirco, pro eo quod diripiebatis pauperem, et praedam electam tollebatis ab eo: domos quadro lapide aedificabitis, et non habitabitis in eis: vineas plantabis amantissimas, et non bibetis vinum earum.
Therfor for that that ye robbiden a pore man, and token fro hym the chosun prey, ye schulen bilde housis with square stoon, and ye schulen not dwelle in hem; ye schulen plaunte moost louyd vyneyerdis, and ye schulen not drynke the wyn of hem.
12 Quia cognovi multa scelera vestra, et fortia peccata vestra: hostes iusti accipientes munus, et pauperes deprimentes in porta:
For Y knew youre grete trespassis many, and youre stronge synnes; enemyes of `the riytwis man, takynge yifte, and berynge doun pore men in the yate.
13 Ideo prudens in tempore illo tacebit, quia tempus malum est.
Therfor a prudent man schal be stille in that time, for the time is yuel.
14 Quaerite bonum, et non malum, ut vivatis: et erit Dominus Deus exercituum vobiscum, sicut dixistis.
Seke ye good, and not yuel, that ye lyue, and the Lord God of oostis schal be with you, as ye seiden.
15 Odite malum, et diligite bonum, et constituite in porta iudicium: si forte misereatur Dominus Deus exercituum reliquiis Ioseph.
Hate ye yuel, and loue ye good, and ordeyne ye in the gate doom; if perauenture the Lord God of oostis haue merci on the remenauntis of Joseph.
16 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus exercituum dominator, in omnibus plateis planctus: et in cunctis, quae foris sunt, dicetur vae vae: et vocabunt agricolam ad luctum, et ad planctum eos, qui sciunt plangere.
Therfor the Lord God of oostis, hauynge lordschipe, seith these thingis, Weilyng schal be in alle stretis, and in alle thingis that ben withoutforth it schal be seid, Wo! wo! and thei schulen clepe an erthe tilier to mourenyng, and hem that kunnen weile, to weilyng.
17 Et in omnibus vineis erit planctus: quia pertransibo in medio tui, dicit Dominus.
And weilyng schal be in alle weies, for Y schal passe forth in the myddil of `the see, seith the Lord.
18 Vae desiderantibus diem Domini: ad quid eam vobis? dies Domini ista, tenebrae, et non lux.
Wo to hem that desiren the dai of the Lord; wher to desiren ye it to you? This dai of the Lord schal be derknessis, and not liyt.
19 Quomodo si fugiat vir a facie leonis, et occurrat ei ursus: et ingrediatur domum, et innitatur manu sua super parietem, et mordeat eum coluber.
As if a man renne fro the face of a lioun, and a bere renne to hym; and he entre in to the hous, and lene with his hond on the wal, and a serpent dwellynge in schadewe bite hym.
20 Numquid non tenebrae dies Domini, et non lux: et caligo, et non splendor in ea?
Whether the dai of the Lord schal not be derknessis, and not liyt; and myist, and not schynyng ther ynne?
21 Odi, et proieci festivitates vestras: et non capiam odorem coetuum vestrorum.
Y hatide and castide awei youre feeste daies, and Y schal not take the odour of youre cumpenyes.
22 Quod si obtuleritis mihi holocaustomata, et munera vestra, non suscipiam: et vota pinguium vestrorum non respiciam.
That if ye offren to me youre brent sacrifices, and yiftis, Y schal not resseyue, and Y schal not biholde avowis of youre fatte thingis.
23 Aufer a me tumultum carminum tuorum: et cantica lyrae tuae non audiam.
Do thou awei fro me the noise of thi songis, and Y schal not here the songis of thin harpe.
24 Et revelabitur quasi aqua iudicium, et iustitia quasi torrens fortis.
And doom schal be schewid as watir, and riytfulnesse as a strong streem.
25 Numquid hostias et sacrificium obtulistis mihi in deserto quadraginta annis, domus Israel?
Whether ye, the hous of Israel, offriden to me sacrifices for enemyes to be ouercomun, and sacrifice in desert fourti yeeris?
26 Et portastis tabernaculum Moloch vestro, et imaginem idolorum vestrorum, sidus dei vestri, quae fecistis vobis.
And ye han bore tabernaclis to Moloch, youre god, and ymage of youre idols, the sterre of youre god, which ye maden to you.
27 Et migrare vos faciam trans Damascum, dicit Dominus, Deus exercituum nomen eius.
