Amos Propheta 2

1 Haec dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Moab, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod incenderit ossa regis Idumaeae usque ad cinerem.

Thus saith the Lord; For three sins of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away from it; because they burnt the bones of the king of Idumea to lime.

2 Et mittam ignem in Moab, et devorabit aedes Carioth: et morietur in sonitu Moab, in clangore tubae:

But I will send forth a fire on Moab, and it shall devour the foundations of its cities: and Moab shall perish in weakness, with a shout, and with the sound of a trumpet.

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

And I will destroy the judge out of her, and slay all her princes with him, saith the Lord.

4 Haec dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Iuda, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod abiecerit legem Domini, et mandata eius non custodierit: deceperant enim eos idola sua, post quae abierant patres eorum.

Thus saith the Lord; For three sins of the children of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they have rejected the law of the Lord, and have not kept his ordinances, and their vain [idols] which they made, which their fathers followed, caused them to err.

5 Et mittam ignem in Iuda, et devorabit aedes Ierusalem.

And I will send a fire on Juda, and it shall devour the foundations of Jerusalem.

6 Haec dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Israel, et super quattuor non convertam eum: pro eo quod vendiderit pro argento iustum, et pauperem pro calceamentis.

Thus saith the Lord; for three sins of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for sandals,

7 Qui conterunt super pulverem terrae capita pauperum, et viam humilium declinant: et filius ac pater eius ierunt ad puellam, ut violarent nomen sanctum meum.

wherewith to tread on the dust of the earth, and they have smitten upon the heads of the poor, and have perverted the way of the lowly: and a son and his father have gone into the same maid, that they might profane the name of their God.

8 Et super vestimentis pignoratis accubuerunt iuxta omne altare: et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui.

And binding their clothes with cords they have made them curtains near the altar, and they have drunk wine gained by extortion in the house of their God.

9 Ego autem exterminavi Amorrhaeum a facie eorum: cuius altitudo, cedrorum altitudo eius, et fortis ipse quasi quercus: et contrivi fructum eius desuper, et radices eius subter.

Nevertheless I cut off the Amorite from before them, whose height was as the height of a cedar, and he was strong as an oak; and I dried up his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

10 Ego sum, qui ascendere vos feci de Terra Aegypti, et duxi vos in deserto quadraginta annis ut possideretis terram Amorrhaei.

And I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you about in the desert forty years, that ye should inherit the land of the Amorites.

11 Et suscitavi de filiis vestris in prophetas, et de iuvenibus vestris nazaraeos: numquid non ita est filii Israel dicit Dominus?

And I took of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for consecration. Are not these things so, ye sons of Israel? saith the Lord.

12 Et propinabitis nazaraeis vinum: et prophetis mandabitis, dicentes: Ne prophetetis.

But ye gave the consecrated ones wine to drink; and ye commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

13 Ecce ego stridebo subter vos, sicut stridet plaustrum onustum foeno.

Therefore, behold, I roll under you, as a waggon full of straw is rolled.

14 Et peribit fuga a veloce, et fortis non obtinebit virtutem suam, et robustus non salvabit animam suam:

And flight shall perish from the runner, and the strong shall not hold fast his strength, and the warrior shall not save his life:

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

and the archer shall not withstand, and he that is swift of foot shall in no wise escape; and the horseman shall not save his life.

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

And the strong shall find no confidence in power: the naked shall flee away in that day, saith the Lord.
