Amos Propheta 7
1 Haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: et ecce fictor locustae in principio germinantium serotini imbris, et ecce serotinus post tonsorem regis.
Thus did the Lord Jehovah shew unto me; and behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth, and behold, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.
2 Et factum est: cum consummasset comedere herbam terrae, dixi: Domine Deus propitius esto, obsecro: quis suscitabit Iacob, quia parvulus est?
And it came to pass, when they had wholly eaten the grass of the land, that I said, O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I beseech thee! How shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
3 Misertus est Dominus super hoc: Non erit, dixit Dominus.
Jehovah repented for this: It shall not be, said Jehovah.
4 Haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: et ecce vocabat iudicium ad ignem Dominus Deus: et devoravit abyssum multam, et comedit simul partem.
Thus did the Lord Jehovah shew unto me; and behold, the Lord Jehovah called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and ate up the inheritance.
5 Et dixi: Domine Deus quiesce, obsecro: quis suscitabit Iacob, quia parvulus est?
Then said I, O Lord Jehovah, cease, I beseech thee! How shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
6 Misertus est Dominus super hoc: Sed et istud non erit, dixit Dominus Deus.
Jehovah repented for this: This also shall not be, said the Lord Jehovah.
7 Haec ostendit mihi Dominus: et ecce Dominus stans super murum litum, et in manu eius trulla caementarii.
Thus did he shew unto me; and behold, the Lord stood upon a wall [made] by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand.
8 Et dixit Dominus ad me: Quid tu vides Amos? Et dixi: Trullam caementarii. Et dixit Dominus: Ecce ego ponam trullam in medio populi mei Israel: non adiiciam ultra superinducere eum.
And Jehovah said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumb-line. And the Lord said, Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more.
9 Et demolientur excelsa idoli, et sanctificationes Israel desolabuntur: et consurgam super domum Ieroboam in gladio.
And the high places of Isaac shall be desolated, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will arise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
10 Et misit Amasias sacerdos Bethel ad Ieroboam regem Israel, dicens: Rebellavit contra te Amos in medio domus Israel: non poterit terra sustinere universos sermones eius.
Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
11 Haec enim dicit Amos: In gladio morietur Ieroboam, et Israel captivus migrabit de terra sua:
For thus Amos saith: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall certainly go into captivity out of his land.
12 Et dixit Amasias ad Amos: Qui vides, gradere, fuge in terram Iuda: et comede ibi panem, et prophetabis ibi.
And Amaziah said unto Amos, [Thou] seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there.
13 Et in Bethel non adiicies ultra ut prophetes: quia sanctificatio regis est, et domus regni est.
But prophesy not again any more at Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom.
14 Responditque Amos, et dixit ad Amasiam: Non sum propheta, et non sum filius prophetae: sed armentarius ego sum vellicans sycomoros.
And Amos answered and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruit.
15 Et tulit me Dominus cum sequerer gregem: et dixit Dominus ad me: Vade propheta ad populum meum Israel.
And Jehovah took me as I followed the flock, and Jehovah said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
16 Et nunc audi verbum Domini: Tu dicis: Non prophetabis super Israel, et non stillabis super domum idoli.
And now hear thou the word of Jehovah: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and utter not [words] against the house of Isaac.
17 Propter hoc haec dicit Dominus: Uxor tua in civitate fornicabitur: et filii tui, et filiae tuae in gladio cadent, et humus tua funiculo metietur: et tu in terra polluta morieris, et Israel captivus migrabit de terra sua.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided with the line; and thou shalt die in a land that is unclean; and Israel shall certainly go into captivity, out of his land.
