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 hath the Lord God shewed vnto mee, and beholde, he formed grashoppers in the beginning of ye shooting vp of the latter grouth: and loe, it was in the latter grouth after the Kings mowing.
2 Et factum est: cum consummasset comedere herbam terrae, dixi: Domine Deus propitius esto, obsecro: quis suscitabit Iacob, quia parvulus est?
And when they had made an ende of eating the grasse of the land, then I saide, O Lord God, spare, I beseeche thee: who shall raise vp Iaakob? for he is small.
3 Misertus est Dominus super hoc: Non erit, dixit Dominus.
So the Lord repented for this. It shall not be, saith the Lord.
4 Haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: et ecce vocabat iudicium ad ignem Dominus Deus: et devoravit abyssum multam, et comedit simul partem.
Thus also hath the Lord God shewed vnto me, and behold, the Lord God called to iudgement by fire, and it deuoured the great deepe, and did eate vp a part.
5 Et dixi: Domine Deus quiesce, obsecro: quis suscitabit Iacob, quia parvulus est?
Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseeche thee: who shall raise vp Iaakob? for he is small.
6 Misertus est Dominus super hoc: Sed et istud non erit, dixit Dominus Deus.
So the Lord repented for this. This also shall not be, saith the Lord God.
7 Haec ostendit mihi Dominus: et ecce Dominus stans super murum litum, et in manu eius trulla caementarii.
Thus againe he shewed me, and behold, the Lord stoode vpon a wall made by line with a 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 the Lord saide vnto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A line. Then said the Lord, Beholde, I wil set a line in the middes of my people Israel, and wil passe by them no more.
9 Et demolientur excelsa idoli, et sanctificationes Israel desolabuntur: et consurgam super domum Ieroboam in gladio.
And the hye places of Izhak shalbe desolate, and the temples of Israel shalbe destroyed: and I wil rise against the house of Ieroboam with the sworde.
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 Beth-el sent to Ieroboam King of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the middes of the house of Israel: the lande is not able to beare all his wordes.
11 Haec enim dicit Amos: In gladio morietur Ieroboam, et Israel captivus migrabit de terra sua:
For thus Amos saith, Ieroboam shall die by the sworde, and Israel shalbe led away captiue out of their owne land.
12 Et dixit Amasias ad Amos: Qui vides, gradere, fuge in terram Iuda: et comede ibi panem, et prophetabis ibi.
Also Amaziah sayde vnto Amos, O thou the Seer, goe, flee thou away into the land of Iudah, and there eate thy bread and prophecie there.
13 Et in Bethel non adiicies ultra ut prophetes: quia sanctificatio regis est, et domus regni est.
But prophecie no more at Beth-el: for it is the Kings chappel, and it is the Kings court.
14 Responditque Amos, et dixit ad Amasiam: Non sum propheta, et non sum filius prophetae: sed armentarius ego sum vellicans sycomoros.
Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no Prophet, neither was I a prophets sonne, but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of wilde figs.
15 Et tulit me Dominus cum sequerer gregem: et dixit Dominus ad me: Vade propheta ad populum meum Israel.
And the Lord tooke me as I followed the flocke, and the Lord said vnto me, Go, prophecie vnto my people Israel.
16 Et nunc audi verbum Domini: Tu dicis: Non prophetabis super Israel, et non stillabis super domum idoli.
Now therefore heare thou the word of the Lord. Thou sayest, Prophecie not against Israel, and speake nothing against the house of Izhak.
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 sayth the Lord, Thy wife shall be an harlot in the citie, and thy sonnes and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be deuided by line: and thou shalt die in a polluted land, and Israel shall surely go into captiuitie forth of his land.
