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 upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

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 hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I 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 in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he 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, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine 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.

And the Lord GOD of hosts [is] he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as [by] the flood 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.

[It is] he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD [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 children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I 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 GOD [are] upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD.

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 nations, like as [corn] is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain 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, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent 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 will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his 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 of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth 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, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth 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 again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit [them; ] and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; 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 pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.
