Amos 2

1 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime.

haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Moab et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod incenderit ossa regis Idumeae usque ad cinerem

2 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;

et mittam ignem in Moab et devorabit aedes Carioth et morietur in sonitu Moab in clangore tubae

3 and I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith Jehovah.

et disperdam iudicem de medio eius et omnes principes eius interficiam cum eo dicit Dominus

4 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have rejected the law of Jehovah, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have caused them to err, after which their fathers did walk.

haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Iuda et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod abiecerint legem Domini et mandata eius non custodierint deceperunt enim eos idola sua post quae abierant patres eorum

5 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

et mittam ignem in Iuda et devorabit aedes Hierusalem

6 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes—

haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Israhel et super quattuor non convertam eum pro eo quod vendiderit argento iustum et pauperem pro calciamentis

7 they that pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father go unto the [same] maiden, to profane my holy name:

qui conterunt super pulverem terrae capita pauperum et viam humilium declinant et filius ac pater eius ierunt ad puellam ut violarent nomen sanctum meum

8 and they lay themselves down beside every altar upon clothes taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of such as have been fined.

et super vestimentis pigneratis accubuerunt iuxta omne altare et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui

9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

ego autem exterminavi Amorreum a facie eorum cuius altitudo cedrorum altitudo eius et fortis ipse quasi quercus et contrivi fructum eius desuper et radices eius subter

10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

ego sum qui ascendere vos feci de terra Aegypti et eduxi vos in deserto quadraginta annis ut possideretis terram Amorrei

11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith Jehovah.

et suscitavi de filiis vestris in prophetas et de iuvenibus vestris nazarenos numquid non ita est filii Israhel dicit Dominus

12 But ye gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

et propinabatis nazarenis vino et prophetis mandabatis dicentes ne prophetetis

13 Behold, I will press [you] in your place, as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves.

ecce ego stridebo super vos sicut stridet plaustrum onustum faeno

14 And flight shall perish from the swift; and the strong shall not strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;

et peribit fuga a veloce et fortis non obtinebit virtutem suam et robustus non salvabit animam suam

15 neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver [himself]; neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself;

et tenens arcum non stabit et velox pedibus suis non salvabitur et ascensor equi non salvabit animam suam

16 and he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith Jehovah.

et robustus corde inter fortes nudus fugiet in die illa dicit Dominus
