Amos Propheta 6
1 vae qui opulenti estis in Sion et confiditis in monte Samariae optimates capita populorum ingredientes pompatice domum Israhel
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and to them that are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
2 transite in Chalanne et videte et ite inde in Emath magnam et descendite in Geth Palestinorum et ad optima quaeque regna horum si latior terminus eorum termino vestro est
Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines: are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border?
3 qui separati estis in diem malum et adpropinquatis solio iniquitatis
—ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 qui dormitis in lectis eburneis et lascivitis in stratis vestris qui comeditis agnum de grege et vitulos de medio armenti
that lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
5 qui canitis ad vocem psalterii sicut David putaverunt se habere vasa cantici
that sing idle songs to the sound of the viol; that invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6 bibentes in fialis vinum et optimo unguento delibuti et nihil patiebantur super contritione Ioseph
that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 quapropter nunc migrabunt in capite transmigrantium et auferetur factio lascivientium
Therefore shall they now go captive with the first that go captive; and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away.
8 iuravit Dominus Deus in anima sua dicit Dominus Deus exercituum detestor ego superbiam Iacob et domos eius odi et tradam civitatem cum habitatoribus suis
The Lord Jehovah hath sworn by himself, saith Jehovah, the God of hosts: I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces; therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 quod si reliqui fuerint decem viri in domo una et ipsi morientur
And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
10 et tollet eum propinquus suus et conburet eum ut efferat ossa de domo et dicet ei qui in penetrabilibus domus est numquid adhuc est apud te et respondebit finis est et dicet ei tace et non recorderis nominis Domini
And when a man’s uncle shall take him up, even he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is in the innermost parts of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No; then shall he say, Hold thy peace; for we may not make mention of the name of Jehovah.
11 quia ecce Dominus mandabit et percutiet domum maiorem ruinis et domum minorem scissionibus
For, behold, Jehovah commandeth, and the great house shall be smitten with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 numquid currere queunt in petris equi aut arari potest in bubalis quoniam convertistis in amaritudinem iudicium et fructum iustitiae in absinthium
Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow [there] with oxen? that ye have turned justice into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood;
13 qui laetamini in nihili qui dicitis numquid non in fortitudine nostra adsumpsimus nobis cornua
ye that rejoice in a thing of nought, that say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
14 ecce enim suscitabo super vos domus Israhel dicit Dominus Deus exercituum gentem et conterent vos ab introitu Emath usque ad torrentem Deserti
For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah, the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath unto the brook of the Arabah.
