Amos Propheta 9

1 Vidi Dominum stantem super altare, et dixit: Percute cardinem, et commoveantur superliminaria: avaritia enim in capite omnium, et novissimum eorum in gladio interficiam: non erit fuga eis. Fugient, et non salvabitur ex eis qui fugerit.

I saw the Lord standing beside the altar. And he said, Smite the capitals, that the thresholds may shake, and break them in pieces on the head of all of them, and I will kill the last of them with the sword. There shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape.

2 Si descenderint usque ad infernum, inde manus mea educet eos: et si ascenderint usque in cælum, inde detraham eos. (Sheol h7585)

Though they dig into Sheol, from there my hand shall take them, and though they climb up to heaven, from there I will bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

3 Et si absconditi fuerint in vertice Carmeli, inde scrutans auferam eos: et si celaverint se ab oculis meis in profundo maris, ibi mandabo serpenti, et mordebit eos.

And though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out from there. And though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, from there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them.

4 Et si abierint in captivitatem coram inimicis suis, ibi mandabo gladio, et occidet eos: et ponam oculos meos super eos in malum, et non in bonum.

And though they go into captivity before their enemies, from there I will command the sword, and it shall kill them. And I will set my eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

5 Et Dominus Deus exercituum, qui tangit terram, et tabescet: et lugebunt omnes habitantes in ea: et ascendet sicut rivus omnis, et defluet sicut fluvius Ægypti.

For the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell therein shall mourn. And it shall rise up wholly like the River, and shall sink again like the River of Egypt.

6 Qui ædificat in cælo ascensionem suam, et fasciculum suum super terram fundavit: qui vocat aquas maris, et effundit eas super faciem terræ, Dominus nomen eius.

He who builds his chambers in the heavens, and has founded his vault upon the earth, he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth, Jehovah is his name.

7 Numquid non ut filii Æthiopum vos estis mihi, filii Israel, ait Dominus? numquid non Israel ascendere feci de Terra Ægypti: et Palæsthinos de Cappadocia, et Syros de Cyrene?

Are ye not as the sons of the Ethiopians to me, O sons of Israel? says Jehovah. Have I not brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

8 Ecce oculi Domini Dei super regnum peccans, et conteram illud a facie terræ: verumtamen conterens non conteram domum Iacob, dicit Dominus.

Behold, the eyes of the lord Jehovah are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth, except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, says Jehovah.

9 Ecce enim mandabo ego, et concutiam in omnibus gentibus domum Israel, sicut concutitur triticum in cribro: et non cadet lapillus super terram.

For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, just as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet the least kernel shall not fall upon the earth.

10 In gladio morientur omnes peccatores populi mei: qui dicunt: Non appropinquabit, et non veniet super nos malum.

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not overtake nor meet us.

11 In die illa suscitabo tabernaculum David, quod cecidit: et reædificabo aperturas murorum eius, et ea quæ corruerant, instaurabo: et reædificabo illud sicut in diebus antiquis.

In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof. And I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old,

12 Ut possideant reliquias Idumææ, et omnes nationes, eo quod invocatum sit nomen meum super eos: dicit Dominus faciens hæc.

that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations that are called by my name, says Jehovah who does this.

13 Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus: et comprehendet arator messorem, et calcator uvæ mittentem semen: et stillabunt montes dulcedinem, et omnes colli culti erunt.

Behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed, and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

14 Et convertam captivitatem populi mei Israel: et ædificabunt civitates desertas, et inhabitabunt: et plantabunt vineas, et bibent vinum earum: et facient hortos, et comedent fructus eorum.

And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of it. They shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

15 Et plantabo eos super humum suam: et non evellam eos ultra de terra sua, quam dedi eis, dicit Dominus Deus tuus.

And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them, says Jehovah thy God.
