Amos Propheta 8
1 Haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: et ecce uncinus pomorum.
Thus hath the Lord Yhwh shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
2 Et dixit: Quid tu vides Amos? Et dixi: Uncinum pomorum. Et dixit Dominus ad me: Venit finis super populum meum Israel: non adiiciam ultra ut pertranseam eum.
And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said Yhwh unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
3 Et stridebunt cardines templi in die illa, dicit Dominus Deus: multi morientur: in omni loco proiicietur silentium.
And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord Yhwh: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
4 Audite hoc qui conteritis pauperem, et deficere facitis egenos terrae,
Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
5 dicentes: Quando transibit messis, et venundabimus merces: et sabbatum, et aperiemus frumentum: ut imminuamus mensuram, et augeamus siclum, et supponamus stateras dolosas,
Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell food? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
6 ut possideamus in argento egenos et pauperes pro calceamentis, et quisquilias frumenti vendamus?
That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 Iuravit Dominus in superbiam Iacob: Si oblitus fuero usque ad finem omnia opera eorum.
Yhwh hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Numquid super isto non commovebitur terra, et lugebit omnis habitator eius: et ascendet quasi fluvius universus, et eiicicetur, et defluet quasi rivus Aegypti?
Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
9 Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus: occidet sol in meridie, et tenebrescere faciam terram in die luminis:
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord Yhwh, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
10 et convertam festivitates vestras in luctum, et omnia cantica vestra in planctum: et inducam super omne dorsum vestrum saccum, et super omne caput calvitium: et ponam eam quasi luctum unigeniti, et novissima eius quasi diem amarum.
And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
11 Ecce dies veniunt, dicet Dominus: et mittam famem in terram: non famem panis, neque sitim aquae, sed audiendi verbum Domini.
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord Yhwh, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Yhwh:
12 Et commovebuntur a Mari usque ad mare, et ab Aquilone usque ad Orientem: circuibunt quaerentes verbum Domini, et non invenient.
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of Yhwh, and shall not find it.
13 In die illa deficient virgines pulchrae et adolescentes in siti.
In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
14 Qui iurant in delicto Samariae, et dicunt: Vivit Deus tuus Dan: et vivit via Bersabee, et cadent, et non resurgent ultra.
They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer–sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
