Amos 6
1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion and trust in the moutaine of Samaria, which were famous at the beginning of the nations: and the house of Israel came to them.
Væ qui opulenti estis in Sion, et confiditis in monte Samariæ: optimates capita populorum, ingredientes pompatice domum Israel.
2 Goe you vnto Calneh, and see: and from thence goe you to Hamath the great: then goe downe to Gath of the Philistims: be they better then these kingdomes? or the border of their land greater then your border,
Transite in Chalane, et videte, et ite inde in Emath magnam: et descendite in Geth Palæsthinorum, et ad optima quæque regna horum: si latior terminus eorum termino vestro est.
3 Ye that put farre away the euill day, and approch to the seate of iniquitie?
Qui separati estis in diem malum: et appropinquatis solio iniquitatis.
4 They lie vpon beddes of yuorie, and stretch themselues vpon their beddes, and eate the lambes of the flocke, and the calues out of the stall.
Qui dormitis in lectis eburneis, et lascivitis in stratis vestris: qui comeditis agnum de grege, et vitulos de medio armenti.
5 They sing to the sounde of the viole: they inuent to themselues instruments of musike like Dauid.
Qui canitis ad vocem psalterii: sicut David putaverunt se habere vasa cantici.
6 They drinke wine in bowles, and anoynt themselues with the chiefe ointments, but no man is sory for the affliction of Ioseph.
Bibentes vinum in phialis, et optimo unguento delibuti: et nihil patiebantur super contritione Ioseph.
7 Therefore nowe shall they go captiue with the first that go captiue, and the sorow of them that stretched themselues, is at hand.
Quapropter nunc migrabunt in capite transmigrantium: et auferetur factio lascivientium.
8 The Lord God hath sworne by himselfe, saith the Lord God of hostes, I abhorre the excellencie of Iaakob, and hate his palaces: therefore wil I deliuer vp the citie with all that is therein.
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 And if there remaine ten men in one house, they shall die.
Quod si reliqui fuerint decem viri in domo una, et ipsi morientur.
10 And his vncle shall take him vp and burne him to cary out the bones out of the house, and shall say vnto him, that is by ye sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? And he shall say, None. Then shall he say, Holde thy tongue: for we may not remember the Name of the Lord.
Et tollet eum propinquus suus, et comburet eum, ut efferat ossa de domo: et dicet ei, qui in penetralibus domus est: Numquid adhuc est penes te? Et respondebit: Finis est. Et dicet ei: Tace, et non recorderis nominis Domini.
11 For behold, the Lord commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the litle house with clefts.
Quia ecce Dominus mandabit, et percutiet domum maiorem ruinis, et domum minorem scissionibus.
12 Shal horses runne vpon the rocke? or wil one plowe there with oxen? for yee haue turned iudgement into gall, and the fruite of righteousnes into wormewood.
Numquid currere queunt in petris equi, aut arari potest in bubalis, quoniam convertistis in amaritudinem iudicium, et fructum iustitiæ in absinthium?
13 Ye reioyce in a thing of nought: yee say, Haue not wee gotten vs hornes by our owne strength?
Qui lætamini in nihilo: qui dicitis: Numquid non in fortitudine nostra assumpsimus nobis cornua?
14 But behold, I wil raise vp against you a nation, O house of Israel, sayeth the Lord God of hostes: and they shall afflict you, from the entring in of Hamath vnto the riuer of the wildernes.
Ecce enim suscitabo super vos domus Israel, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum, gentem: et conteret vos ab introitu Emath, usque ad torrentem deserti.
