Amos Propheta 6
1 Vae qui opulenti estis in Sion, et confiditis in monte Samariae: optimates capita populorum, ingredientes pompatice domum Israel.
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and to them that are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
2 Transite in Chalane, et videte, et ite inde in Emath magnam: et descendite in Geth Palaesthinorum, et ad optima quaeque regna horum: si latior terminus eorum termino vestro est.
Pass ye unto Calneh, and see, and from thence go ye to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines; are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border?
3 Qui separati estis in diem malum: et appropinquatis solio iniquitatis.
Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 Qui dormitis in lectis eburneis, et lascivitis in stratis vestris: qui comeditis agnum de grege, et vitulos de medio armenti.
That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
5 Qui canitis ad vocem psalterii: sicut David putaverunt se habere vasa cantici.
That thrum on the psaltery, that devise for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6 Bibentes vinum in phialis, et optimo unguento delibuti: et nihil patiebantur super contritione Ioseph.
That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments; but they are not grieved for the hurt of Joseph.
7 Quapropter nunc migrabunt in capite transmigrantium: et auferetur factio lascivientium.
Therefore now shall they go captive at the head of them that go captive, and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away.
8 Iuravit Dominus Deus in anima sua, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum: Detestor ego superbiam Iacob, et domos eius odi, et tradam civitatem cum habitatoribus suis.
The Lord GOD hath sworn by Himself, saith the LORD, the God of hosts: I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his palaces; and I will deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 Quod si reliqui fuerint decem viri in domo una, et ipsi morientur.
And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
10 Et tollet eum propinquus suus, et comburet eum, ut efferat ossa de domo: et dicet ei, qui in penetralibus domus est: Numquid adhuc est penes te? Et respondebit: Finis est. Et dicet ei: Tace, et non recorderis nominis Domini.
And when a man's uncle shall take him up, even he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is in the innermost parts of the house: 'Is there yet any with thee?' and he shall say: 'No'; then shall he say: 'Hold thy peace; for we must not make mention of the name of the LORD.'
11 Quia ecce Dominus mandabit, et percutiet domum maiorem ruinis, et domum minorem scissionibus.
For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and the great house shall be smitten into splinters, and the little house into chips.
12 Numquid currere queunt in petris equi, aut arari potest in bubalis, quoniam convertistis in amaritudinem iudicium, et fructum iustitiae in absinthium?
Do horses run upon the rocks? Doth one plow there with oxen? that ye have turned justice into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood;
13 Qui laetamini in nihilo: qui dicitis: Numquid non in fortitudine nostra assumpsimus nobis cornua?
Ye that rejoice in a thing of nought, that say: 'Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?'
14 Ecce enim suscitabo super vos domus Israel, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum, gentem: et conteret vos ab introitu Emath, usque ad torrentem deserti.
For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD, the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath unto the Brook of the Arabah.
