CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINVULGATA
1 The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds of Tekoa, which he saw about Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.1 Verba Amos, qui fuit in pastoribus de Thecue, quæ vidit super Israël in diebus Oziæ, regis Juda, et in diebus Jeroboam, filii Joas, regis Israël, ante duos annos terræmotus.
2 And he said: The Lord will roar from Zion, and from Jerusalem he will utter his voice. And the beautiful pastures have mourned, and the top of Carmel has become dry.2 Et dixit : Dominus de Sion rugiet,
et de Jerusalem dabit vocem suam ;
et luxerunt speciosa pastorum,
et exsiccatus est vertex Carmeli.
3 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Damascus, and for four, I will not convert it, in so far as they have threshed Gilead into iron wagons.3 Hæc dicit Dominus :
Super tribus sceleribus Damasci,
et super quatuor non convertam eum,
eo quod trituraverint in plaustris ferreis Galaad.
4 And I will send fire onto the house of Hazael, and it will devour the houses of Ben-hadad.4 Et mittam ignem in domum Azaël,
et devorabit domos Benadad.
5 And I will shatter the crowbar of Damascus, and I will destroy the inhabitants of the camp of the idol and the holder of the scepter of the house of pleasure; and the people of Syria will be transferred to Cyrene, says the Lord.5 Et conteram vectem Damasci :
et disperdam habitatorem de campo idoli,
et tenentem sceptrum de domo voluptatis :
et transferetur populus Syriæ Cyrenen,
dicit Dominus.
6 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Gaza, and for four, I will not convert it, in so far as they have carried out an excellent captivity, so as to enclose them in Idumea.6 Hæc dicit Dominus :
Super tribus sceleribus Gazæ,
et super quatuor non convertam eum,
eo quod transtulerint captivitatem perfectam,
ut concluderent eam in Idumæa.
7 And I will send a fire onto the wall of Gaza, and it will devour its buildings.7 Et mittam ignem in murum Gazæ,
et devorabit ædes ejus.
8 And I will destroy the inhabitant from Ashdod, and the holder of the scepter of Ashkelon. And I will turn my hand against Ekron, and the remainder of the Philistines will perish, says the Lord God.8 Et disperdam habitatorem de Azoto,
et tenentem sceptrum de Ascalone :
et convertam manum meam super Accaron,
et peribunt reliqui Philisthinorum,
dicit Dominus Deus.
9 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Tyre, and for four, I will not convert it, in so far as they have completed an excellent captivity in Idumea and have not considered the bond among brothers.9 Hæc dicit Dominus :
Super tribus sceleribus Tyri,
et super quatuor non convertam eum,
eo quod concluserint captivitatem perfectam in Idumæa,
et non sint recordati fœderis fratrum.
10 And I will send a fire onto the wall of Tyre, and it will devour its buildings.10 Et mittam ignem in murum Tyri,
et devorabit ædes ejus.
11 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Edom, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has been pursuing his brother with the sword and has outraged his brother’s compassion, and he has gone beyond his anger and has held onto his indignation until the end.11 Hæc dicit Dominus :
Super tribus sceleribus Edom,
et super quatuor non convertam eum,
eo quod persecutus sit in gladio fratrem suum,
et violaverit misericordiam ejus,
et tenuerit ultra furorem suum,
et indignationem suam servaverit usque in finem.
12 I will send a fire onto Teman, and it will devour the buildings of Bozrah.12 Mittam ignem in Theman,
et devorabit ædes Bosræ.
13 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of the sons of Ammon, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has cut up the pregnant women of Gilead, so as to expand his limits.13 Hæc dicit Dominus :
Super tribus sceleribus filiorum Ammon,
et super quatuor non convertam eum,
eo quod dissecuerit prægnantes Galaad
ad dilatandum terminum suum.
14 And I will ignite a fire on the wall of Rabbah. And it will devour its buildings, with wailing on the day of war, and with a whirlwind on the day of commotion.14 Et succendam ignem in muro Rabba,
et devorabit ædes ejus in ululatu in die belli,
et in turbine in die commotionis.
15 And Melchom will go into captivity, he and his leaders together, says the Lord.15 Et ibit Melchom in captivitatem,
ipse et principes ejus simul,
dicit Dominus.
