Amos Propheta 8
1 haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus et ecce uncinus pomorum
Thus the lord Jehovah showed me: And, behold, a basket of summer fruit.
2 et dixit quid tu vides Amos et dixi uncinum pomorum et dixit Dominus ad me venit finis super populum meum Israhel non adiciam ultra ut pertranseam eum
And he said, Amos, what do thou see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then Jehovah said to me, The end has come upon my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
3 et stridebunt cardines templi in die illa dicit Dominus Deus multi morientur in omni loco proicietur silentium
And the songs of the temple shall be wailings in that day, says the lord Jehovah. The dead bodies shall be many. In every place they shall cast them forth with silence.
4 audite hoc qui conteritis pauperem et deficere facitis egenos terrae
Hear this, O ye who would swallow up a needy man, and cause the poor of the land to fail,
5 dicentes quando transibit mensis et venundabimus merces et sabbatum et aperiemus frumentum ut inminuamus mensuram et augeamus siclum et subponamus stateras dolosas
saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit,
6 ut possideamus in argento egenos et pauperes pro calciamentis et quisquilias frumenti vendamus
that we may buy the poor for silver, and a needy man for a pair of shoes, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 iuravit Dominus in superbia Iacob si oblitus fuero usque ad finem omnia opera eorum
Jehovah has sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 numquid super isto non commovebitur terra et lugebit omnis habitator eius et ascendet quasi fluvius universus et eicietur et defluet quasi rivus Aegypti
Shall the land not tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells therein? Yea, it shall rise up wholly like the River, and it shall be troubled and sink again like the River of Egypt.
9 et erit in die illa dicit Dominus occidet sol meridie et tenebrescere faciam terram in die luminis
And it shall come to pass in that day, says the lord Jehovah, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
10 et convertam festivitates vestras in luctum et omnia cantica vestra in planctum et inducam super omne dorsum vestrum saccum et super omne caput calvitium et ponam eam quasi luctum unigeniti et novissima eius quasi diem amarum
And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation. And I will bring sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head, and I will make it as the mourning for an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
11 ecce dies veniunt dicit Dominus et mittam famem in terram non famem panis neque sitim aquae sed audiendi verbum Domini
Behold, the days come, says the lord Jehovah, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Jehovah.
12 et commovebuntur a mari usque ad mare et ab aquilone usque ad orientem circumibunt quaerentes verbum Domini et non invenient
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east. They shall run to and fro to seek the word of Jehovah, and shall not find it.
13 in die illa deficient virgines pulchrae et adulescentes in siti
In that day the fair virgins and the young men shall faint for thirst.
14 qui iurant in delicto Samariae et dicunt vivit deus tuus Dan et vivit via Bersabee et cadent et non resurgent ultra
Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, As thy god, O Dan, lives, and, As the way of Beersheba lives, they shall fall, and never rise up again.
