Amos Propheta 6
1 vae qui opulenti estis in Sion et confiditis in monte Samariae optimates capita populorum ingredientes pompatice domum Israhel
Sorrow to those who are resting in comfort in Zion, and to those who have no fear of danger in the mountain of Samaria, the noted men of the chief of the nations, to whom the people 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
Go on to Calneh and see; and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines: are you better than these kingdoms? or is your land wider than theirs?
3 qui separati estis in diem malum et adpropinquatis solio iniquitatis
You who put far away the evil day, causing the rule of the violent to come near;
4 qui dormitis in lectis eburneis et lascivitis in stratis vestris qui comeditis agnum de grege et vitulos de medio armenti
Who are resting on beds of ivory, stretched out on soft seats, feasting on lambs from the flock and young oxen from the cattle-house;
5 qui canitis ad vocem psalterii sicut David putaverunt se habere vasa cantici
Making foolish songs to the sound of corded instruments, and designing for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6 bibentes in fialis vinum et optimo unguento delibuti et nihil patiebantur super contritione Ioseph
Drinking wine in basins, rubbing themselves with the best oils; but they have no grief for the destruction of Joseph.
7 quapropter nunc migrabunt in capite transmigrantium et auferetur factio lascivientium
So now they will go away prisoners with the first of those who are made prisoners, and the loud cry of those who were stretched out will come to an end.
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 God has taken an oath by himself, says the Lord, the God of armies: the pride of Jacob is disgusting to me, and I have hate for his great houses: so I will give up the town with everything in it.
9 quod si reliqui fuerint decem viri in domo una et ipsi morientur
Then it will come about that if there are still ten men in a house, death will overtake them.
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 relation, even the one who is responsible for burning his body, lifting him up to take his bones out of the house, says to him who is in the inmost part of the house, Is there still anyone with you? and he says, No; then he will say, Keep quiet, for the name of the Lord may not be named.
11 quia ecce Dominus mandabit et percutiet domum maiorem ruinis et domum minorem scissionibus
For see, at the order of the Lord the great house will be full of cracks and the little house will be broken.
12 numquid currere queunt in petris equi aut arari potest in bubalis quoniam convertistis in amaritudinem iudicium et fructum iustitiae in absinthium
Is it possible for horses to go running on the rock? may the sea be ploughed with oxen? for the right to be turned by you into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into a bitter plant?
13 qui laetamini in nihili qui dicitis numquid non in fortitudine nostra adsumpsimus nobis cornua
You whose joy is in a thing of no value, who say, Have we not taken for ourselves horns by the strength which is ours?
14 ecce enim suscitabo super vos domus Israhel dicit Dominus Deus exercituum gentem et conterent vos ab introitu Emath usque ad torrentem Deserti
For see, I will send against you a nation, O Israel, says the Lord, the God of armies, ruling you cruelly from the way into Hamath as far as the stream of the Arabah.
