Amos Propheta 2
1 haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Moab et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod incenderit ossa regis Idumeae usque ad cinerem
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because he had the bones of the king of Edom burned to dust.
2 et mittam ignem in Moab et devorabit aedes Carioth et morietur in sonitu Moab in clangore tubae
And I will send a fire on Moab, burning up the great houses of Kerioth: and death will come on Moab with noise and outcries and the sound of the horn:
3 et disperdam iudicem de medio eius et omnes principes eius interficiam cum eo dicit Dominus
And I will have the judge cut off from among them, and all their captains I will put to death with him, says the Lord.
4 haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Iuda et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod abiecerint legem Domini et mandata eius non custodierint deceperunt enim eos idola sua post quae abierant patres eorum
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Judah, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given up the law of the Lord, and have not kept his rules; and their false ways, in which their fathers went, have made them go out of the right way.
5 et mittam ignem in Iuda et devorabit aedes Hierusalem
And I will send a fire on Judah, burning up the great houses of Jerusalem.
6 haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Israhel et super quattuor non convertam eum pro eo quod vendiderit argento iustum et pauperem pro calciamentis
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given the upright man for silver, and the poor for the price of two shoes;
7 qui conterunt super pulverem terrae capita pauperum et viam humilium declinant et filius ac pater eius ierunt ad puellam ut violarent nomen sanctum meum
Crushing the head of the poor, and turning the steps of the gentle out of the way: and a man and his father go in to the same young woman, putting shame on my holy name:
8 et super vestimentis pigneratis accubuerunt iuxta omne altare et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui
By every altar they are stretched on clothing taken from those who are in their debt, drinking in the house of their god the wine of those who have made payment for wrongdoing.
9 ego autem exterminavi Amorreum a facie eorum cuius altitudo cedrorum altitudo eius et fortis ipse quasi quercus et contrivi fructum eius desuper et radices eius subter
Though I sent destruction on the Amorite before them, who was tall as the cedar and strong as the oak-tree, cutting off his fruit from on high and his roots from under the earth.
10 ego sum qui ascendere vos feci de terra Aegypti et eduxi vos in deserto quadraginta annis ut possideretis terram Amorrei
And I took you up out of the land of Egypt, guiding you for forty years in the waste land, so that you might take for your heritage the land of the Amorite.
11 et suscitavi de filiis vestris in prophetas et de iuvenibus vestris nazarenos numquid non ita est filii Israhel dicit Dominus
And some of your sons I made prophets, and some of your young men I made separate for myself. Is it not even so, O children of Israel? says the Lord.
12 et propinabatis nazarenis vino et prophetis mandabatis dicentes ne prophetetis
But to those who were separate you gave wine for drink; and to the prophets you said, Be prophets no longer.
13 ecce ego stridebo super vos sicut stridet plaustrum onustum faeno
See, I am crushing you down, as one is crushed under a cart full of grain.
14 et peribit fuga a veloce et fortis non obtinebit virtutem suam et robustus non salvabit animam suam
And flight will be impossible for the quick-footed, and the force of the strong will become feeble, and the man of war will not get away safely:
15 et tenens arcum non stabit et velox pedibus suis non salvabitur et ascensor equi non salvabit animam suam
And the bowman will not keep his place; he who is quick-footed will not get away safely: and the horseman will not keep his life.
16 et robustus corde inter fortes nudus fugiet in die illa dicit Dominus
And he who is without fear among the fighting men will go in flight without his clothing in that day, says the Lord.
