Amos Propheta 1
1 verba Amos qui fuit in pastoralibus de Thecuae quae vidit super Israhel in diebus Oziae regis Iuda et in diebus Hieroboam filii Ioas regis Israhel ante duos annos terraemotus
The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa, which he prophesied concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earth quake. He said: —
2 et dixit Dominus de Sion rugiet et de Hierusalem dabit vocem suam et luxerunt speciosa pastorum et exsiccatus est vertex Carmeli
Jehovah will roar from Zion, And utter his voice from Jerusalem; The habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, And the top of Carmel shall wither.
3 haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Damasci et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod trituraverint in plaustris ferreis Galaad
Thus saith Jehovah; For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, will I not turn away its punishment; For they thrashed Gilead with thrashing-wains of iron.
4 et mittam ignem in domum Azahel et devorabit domos Benadad
I will send a fire upon the house of Hazael, Which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
5 et conteram vectem Damasci et disperdam habitatorem de campo Idoli et tenentem sceptrum de domo Voluptatis et transferetur populus Syriae Cyrenen dicit Dominus
I will also break the bar of Damascus, And I will destroy the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, And him that holdeth the sceptre from Beth-Eden, And the people of Syria shall be led captive to Kir: Jehovah hath said it.
6 haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Gazae et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod transtulerit captivitatem perfectam ut concluderet eam in Idumea
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I will not turn away its punishment; For they led captive all that fell into their hands, And delivered them up to Edom.
7 et mittam ignem in murum Gazae et devorabit aedes eius
But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, Which shall devour her palaces.
8 et disperdam habitatorem de Azoto et tenentem sceptrum de Ascalone et convertam manum meam super Accaron et peribunt reliqui Philisthinorum dicit Dominus Deus
And I will destroy the inhabitant from Ashdod, And him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; And I will turn my hand against Ekron, And the residue of the Philistines shall perish. The Lord, Jehovah, hath said it.
9 haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Tyri et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod concluserint captivitatem perfectam in Idumea et non sint recordati foederis fratrum
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, will I not turn away its punishment; Because they delivered up all their captives to Edom, And remembered not the brotherly covenant.
10 et emittam ignem in murum Tyri et devorabit aedes eius
But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, Which shall devour her palaces.
11 haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Edom et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod persecutus sit in gladio fratrem suum et violaverit misericordiam eius et tenuerit ultra furorem suum et indignationem suam servaverit usque in finem
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, will I not turn away his punishment; For he pursued his brother with the sword, And cast off all pity, And his anger tore perpetually; Yea, he kept his wrath forever.
12 mittam ignem in Theman et devorabit aedes Bosrae
But I will send a fire upon Teman. Which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus filiorum Ammon et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod dissecuerit praegnantes Galaad ad dilatandum terminum suum
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, And for four, will I not turn away their punishment; For they ripped up the women with child of Gilead, That they might enlarge their border.
14 et succendam ignem in muro Rabbae et devorabit aedes eius in ululatu in die belli et in turbine in die commotionis
But I will kindle a fire on the wall of Rabbah, Which shall devour her palaces, Amid the war-shout in the day of battle, In a whirlwind in the day of the storm.
15 et ibit Melchom in captivitatem ipse et principes eius simul dicit Dominus
Their king shall go into captivity, He and his princes together, saith Jehovah.
