Amos 6
1 Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
vae qui opulenti estis in Sion et confiditis in monte Samariae optimates capita populorum ingredientes pompatice domum Israhel
2 Go to Calneh, and see. From there go to Hamath the great. Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? Is their border greater than your border?
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
3 Alas for you who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near,
qui separati estis in diem malum et adpropinquatis solio iniquitatis
4 who lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the middle of the stall,
qui dormitis in lectis eburneis et lascivitis in stratis vestris qui comeditis agnum de grege et vitulos de medio armenti
5 who strum on the strings of a harp, who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
qui canitis ad vocem psalterii sicut David putaverunt se habere vasa cantici
6 who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
bibentes in fialis vinum et optimo unguento delibuti et nihil patiebantur super contritione Ioseph
7 Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive. The feasting and lounging will end.
quapropter nunc migrabunt in capite transmigrantium et auferetur factio lascivientium
8 “The Lord Yahweh has sworn by himself,” says Yahweh, the God of Armies: “I abhor the pride of Jacob, and detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.
iuravit Dominus Deus in anima sua dicit Dominus Deus exercituum detestor ego superbiam Iacob et domos eius odi et tradam civitatem cum habitatoribus suis
9 It will happen that if ten men remain in one house, they will die.
quod si reliqui fuerint decem viri in domo una et ipsi morientur
10 “When a man’s relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, ‘Is there yet any with you?’ And he says, ‘No;’ then he will say, ‘Hush! Indeed we must not mention Yahweh’s name.’
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
11 “For, behold, Yahweh commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into bits.
quia ecce Dominus mandabit et percutiet domum maiorem ruinis et domum minorem scissionibus
12 Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness,
numquid currere queunt in petris equi aut arari potest in bubalis quoniam convertistis in amaritudinem iudicium et fructum iustitiae in absinthium
13 you who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, ‘Haven’t we taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?’
qui laetamini in nihili qui dicitis numquid non in fortitudine nostra adsumpsimus nobis cornua
14 For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel,” says Yahweh, the God of Armies; “and they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.”
ecce enim suscitabo super vos domus Israhel dicit Dominus Deus exercituum gentem et conterent vos ab introitu Emath usque ad torrentem Deserti
