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 dwell at ease in Zion; That feel secure upon the mountain of Samaria; The honorable men of the chief of the nations, To whom the house of Israel resort!
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 over to Calneh, and see; And thence go to great Hamath; 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
Woe to them, that put far away the day of evil, And bring near the seat of oppression;
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; That eat lambs from the flock, And calves from the stall;
5 qui canitis ad vocem psalterii sicut David putaverunt se habere vasa cantici
That chant to the sound of the harp, And 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 most precious perfumes, But grieve not for the destruction of Joseph!
7 quapropter nunc migrabunt in capite transmigrantium et auferetur factio lascivientium
Therefore now shall they go captive at the head of the captives; Yea, the shouting of them that stretch themselves upon their couches shall cease.
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, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts: I abhor the pride of Jacob, And I hate his palaces; I will give up the city, and all that is therein.
9 quod si reliqui fuerint decem viri in domo una et ipsi morientur
And if ten men remain in one house, These also 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
A man's relative, or a burner of the dead, shall take him up, To carry his bones out of the house, And he shall say to him that is in the innermost part of the house, Is there yet any one with thee? And he shall answer, No one! Then shall he say, Keep silence! 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 hath commanded, And he will smite the great house with breaches, And the small 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 rocks, Or will one plough rocks with oxen, That ye change justice into hemlock, And the fruit of equity into wormwood,
13 qui laetamini in nihili qui dicitis numquid non in fortitudine nostra adsumpsimus nobis cornua
Ye that rejoice in a thing of naught, And say, Have we not acquired dominion 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
Behold, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, I will raise against you a nation, That shall oppress you from Hamath Even to the brook of the desert.
