Amos Propheta 1
1 Verba Amos, qui fuit in pastoribus de Thecue: quæ vidit super Israel in diebus Oziæ regis Iuda, et in diebus Ieroboam filii Ioas regis Israel, ante duos annos terræmotus.
The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, —of which (words) he had vision concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
2 Et dixit: Dominus de Sion rugiet, et de Ierusalem dabit vocem suam: et luxerunt speciosa pastorum, et exiccatus est vertex Carmeli.
So then he said—Yahweh, out of Zion, will roar, and, out of Jerusalem, will utter his voice, —and the pastures of the shepherds, shall mourn, and the top of Carmel, be dried up.
3 Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Damasci, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod trituraverint in plaustris ferreis Galaad.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Damascus, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because, with threshing instruments of iron, they have threshed Gilead.
4 Et mittam ignem in domum Azael, et devorabit domos Benadad.
Therefore will send a fire, into the house of Hazael, —which shall devour the palaces of Ben- hadad;
5 Et conteram vectem Damasci: et disperdam habitatorem de campo idoli, et tenentem sceptrum de domo voluptatis: et transferetur populus Syriæ Cyrenen, dicit Dominus.
And I will break the bolt of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant out of the plain of Aven, and the holder of the sceptre out of the house of Eden, —and the people of Syria, shall be exiled, unto Kir, saith Yahweh.
6 Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Gazæ, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod transtulerint captivitatem perfectam, ut concluderent eam in Idumæa.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Gaza, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because of their taking into exile the whole body of exiles, to deliver to Edom,
7 Et mittam ignem in murum Gazæ, et devorabit ædes eius.
Therefore will I send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, —which shall devour the palaces thereof;
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 cut off the inhabitant out of Ashdod, and the holder of the sceptre out of Ashkelon, —and will turn my hand against Ekron, So shall perish the remnant of the Philistines, saith My Lord, Yahweh.
9 Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Tyri, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod concluserint captivitatem perfectam in Idumæa, et non sint recordati fœderis fratrum.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Tyre, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because of their delivering up the whole body of exiles to Edom, and they remembered not the brotherly covenant,
10 Et mittam ignem in murum Tyri, et devorabit ædes eius.
Therefore will I send a fire upon the wall of Tyre, —which shall devour the palaces thereof.
11 Hæc 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 Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Edom, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because he pursued, with the sword, his brother, and stifled his compassions, and his anger tare in pieces evermore, and, his indignation, kept watch perpetually,
12 Mittam ignem in Theman: et devorabit ædes Bosræ.
Therefore will I send a fire into Teman, —which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus filiorum Ammon, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod dissecuerit prægnantes Galaad ad dilatandum terminum suum.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because of their ripping up the pregnant women of Gilead, that they might enlarge their own boundary,
14 Et succendam ignem in muro Rabba: et devorabit ædes eius in ululatu in die belli, et in turbine in die commotionis.
Therefore will I kindle a fire upon the wall of Rabbah, which shall devour the palaces thereof, —with a war-cry in the day of battle, with tempest in the day of storm-wind;
15 Et ibit Melchom in captivitatem, ipse, et principes eius simul, dicit Dominus.
And Milcom shall go into exile, —he and his rulers together, saith Yahweh.
