Amos 8


font
KING JAMES BIBLENOVA VULGATA
1 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.1 Haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus:
et ecce canistrum pomorum.
2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.2 Et dixit: “ Quid tu vides, Amos? ”.
Et dixi: “ Canistrum pomorum ”.
Et dixit Dominus ad me:
“ Venit finis super populum meum Israel;
non adiciam ultra ignoscere ei.
3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.3 Et lugent cantatrices palatii in die illa,
dicit Dominus Deus;
multa erunt cadavera,
in omni loco proicientur: silentium.
4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,4 Audite hoc, qui conteritis pauperem
et deficere facitis egenos terrae,
5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?5 dicentes: “Quando transibit neomenia,
et venumdabimus merces?
Et sabbatum, et aperiemus frumentum,
ut imminuamus mensuram et augeamus siclum
et supponamus stateras dolosas,
6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?6 ut possideamus in argento egenos
et pauperem pro calceamentis
et quisquilias frumenti vendamus?””.
7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.7 Iuravit Dominus in superbia Iacob:
“ Non obliviscar in perpetuum omnia opera eorum.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.8 Numquid super isto non commovebitur terra,
et lugebit omnis habitator eius,
et ascendet quasi fluvius universa,
fervebit et decrescet quasi flumen Aegypti?
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:9 Et erit: in die illa,
dicit Dominus Deus,
occidere faciam solem in meridie
et tenebrescere faciam terram in die luminis
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.10 et convertam festivitates vestras in luctum
et omnia cantica vestra in planctum;
et inducam super omnes lumbos saccum
et super omne caput calvitium;
et ponam eam quasi luctum unigeniti
et novissima eius quasi diem amarum.
11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:11 Ecce dies veniunt,
dicit Dominus,
et mittam famem in terram;
non famem panis neque sitim aquae,
sed audiendi verbum Domini ”.
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.12 Et fugient a mari usque ad mare;
et ab aquilone usque ad orientem circuibunt,
quaerentes verbum Domini,
et non invenient.
13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.13 In die illa deficient virgines pulchrae
et adulescentes in siti.
14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.14 Qui iurant in delicto Samariae
et dicunt: “ Vivit Deus tuus, Dan! ”
et “ Vivit via, Bersabee! ”,
et cadent et non resurgent ultra.
