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

Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because he burnt the bones of the king of Edom into lime;

2 et mittam ignem in Moab et devorabit aedes Carioth et morietur in sonitu Moab in clangore tubae

And I will send a fire against Moab, which shall devour the palaces of Keriyoth: and Moab shall die in the tumult, in the shouting, amidst the sound of the cornet;

3 et disperdam iudicem de medio eius et omnes principes eius interficiam cum eo dicit Dominus

And I will cut off the judges from her midst, and all her princes will I slay, with him, saith 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

Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have despised the law of the Lord, and did not keep his statutes, and their lying idols caused them to err, after which their fathers had walked;

5 et mittam ignem in Iuda et devorabit aedes Hierusalem

And I will send out a fire against Judah, which shall devour the palaces 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

Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they sold for silver the righteous, and the needy for a pair of 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

That are eager after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same young woman, in order to profane my holy name.

8 et super vestimentis pigneratis accubuerunt iuxta omne altare et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui

And upon pledged garments they stretch themselves out by every altar, and the wine of the condemned do they drink in the house of their gods.

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

Yet have I destroyed the Emorite from before them, whose height was like the height of cedars, and who was strong as the oaks; but I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

10 ego sum qui ascendere vos feci de terra Aegypti et eduxi vos in deserto quadraginta annis ut possideretis terram Amorrei

And it was I who have brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to take possession of the land of the Emorite.

11 et suscitavi de filiis vestris in prophetas et de iuvenibus vestris nazarenos numquid non ita est filii Israhel dicit Dominus

And I have raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for nazarites: is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the Lord.

12 et propinabatis nazarenis vino et prophetis mandabatis dicentes ne prophetetis

But ye have given the nazarites wine to drink; and concerning the prophets have ye commanded, saying, Ye shall not prophesy.

13 ecce ego stridebo super vos sicut stridet plaustrum onustum faeno

Behold, I press down [the ground] under you, as the wagon presseth [it] down that is full of sheaves.

14 et peribit fuga a veloce et fortis non obtinebit virtutem suam et robustus non salvabit animam suam

And refuge shall vanish from the swift, and the strong shall not make use of his force, neither shall the mighty man escape with his life.

15 et tenens arcum non stabit et velox pedibus suis non salvabitur et ascensor equi non salvabit animam suam

And he that handleth the bow shall not be able to stand; and he that is swift of foot shall not escape: neither shall he that rideth the horse escape with his life.

16 et robustus corde inter fortes nudus fugiet in die illa dicit Dominus

And he that is most courageous hearted among the mighty shall flee away naked on that day, saith the Lord.
