Amos Propheta 7

1 haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus et ecce fictor lucustae in principio germinantium serotini imbris et ecce serotinus post tonsorem regis

Thus has the Lord God showed me; and, behold, a swarm of locusts coming from the east; and, behold, one caterpillar, king Gog.

2 et factum est cum consummasset comedere herbam terrae et dixi Domine Deus propitius esto obsecro quis suscitabit Iacob quia parvulus est

And it came to pass when he had finished devouring the grass of the land, that I said, Lord God, be merciful; who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number.

3 misertus est Dominus super hoc non erit dixit Dominus

Repent, O Lord, for this. And this shall not be, says the Lord.

4 haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus et ecce vocabat iudicium ad ignem Dominus Deus et devoravit abyssum multam et comedit simul partem

Thus has the Lord showed me; and, behold, the Lord called for judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and devoured the Lord's portion.

5 et dixi Domine Deus quiesce obsecro quis suscitabit Iacob quia parvulus est

Then I said, O Lord, cease, I pray you: who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number. Repent, O Lord, for this.

6 misertus est Dominus super hoc sed et istud non erit dixit Dominus Deus

This also shall not be, says the Lord.

7 haec ostendit mihi et ecce Dominus stans super murum litum et in manu eius trulla cementarii

Thus the Lord showed me; and behold, he stood upon a wall of adamant, and in his hand [was] an adamant.

8 et dixit Dominus ad me quid tu vides Amos et dixi trullam cementarii et dixit Dominus ecce ego ponam trullam in medio populi mei Israhel non adiciam ultra superinducere eum

And the Lord said to me, What see you, Amos? And I said, An adamant. And the Lord said to me, Behold, I appoint an adamant in the midst of my people Israel: I will not pass by them any more.

9 et demolientur excelsa idoli et sanctificationes Israhel desolabuntur et consurgam super domum Hieroboam in gladio

And the joyful altars shall be abolished, and the sacrifices of Israel shall be set aside; and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

10 et misit Amasias sacerdos Bethel ad Hieroboam regem Israhel dicens rebellavit contra te Amos in medio domus Israhel non poterit terra sustinere universos sermones eius

Then Amasias the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos is forming conspiracies against you in the midst of the house of Israel: the land will be utterly unable to bear all his words.

11 haec enim dicit Amos in gladio morietur Hieroboam et Israhel captivus migrabit de terra sua

For thus says Amos, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be led away captive from his land.

12 et dixit Amasias ad Amos qui vides gradere fuge in terram Iuda et comede ibi panem et ibi prophetabis

And Amasias said to Amos, Go, seer, remove you into the land of Juda, and live there, and you shall prophesy there:

13 et in Bethel non adicies ultra ut prophetes quia sanctificatio regis est et domus regni est

but you shall no longer prophesy at Bethel: for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the royal house.

14 et respondit Amos et dixit ad Amasiam non sum propheta et non sum filius prophetae sed armentarius ego sum vellicans sycomoros

And Amos answered, and said to Amasias, I was not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet; but I was a herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruits.

15 et tulit me Dominus cum sequerer gregem et dixit ad me Dominus vade propheta ad populum meum Israhel

And the Lord took me from the sheep, and the Lord said to me, Go, and prophesy to my people Israel.

16 et nunc audi verbum Domini tu dicis non prophetabis super Israhel et non stillabis super domum idoli

And now hear the word of the Lord: You say, Prophesy not to Israel, and raise not a tumult against the house of Jacob.

17 propter hoc haec dicit Dominus uxor tua in civitate fornicabitur et filii tui et filiae tuae in gladio cadent et humus tua funiculo metietur et tu in terra polluta morieris et Israhel captivus migrabit de terra sua

Therefore thus says the Lord; Your wife shall be a harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be measured with the line; and you shall die in an unclean land; and Israel shall be led captive out of his land. Thus has the Lord God showed me.
