Amos 7

New American Bible	Bibbia Vulgata Clementina
¹ This is what the Lord GOD showed me: He was forming a locust swarm when the late growth began to come up (the late growth after the king's mowing).	¹ Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus Deus : et ecce fictor locustæ in principio germinantium serotini imbris, et ecce serotinus post tonsionem regis.
² While they were eating all the grass in the land, I said: Forgive, O Lord GOD! How can Jacob stand? He is so small!	² Et factum est, cum consummasset comedere herbam terræ, dixi : Domine Deus, propitius esto, obsecro ; quis suscitabit Jacob, quia parvulus est ?
³ And the LORD repented of this. "It shall not be," said the Lord GOD.	³ Misertus est Dominus super hoc : Non erit, dixit Dominus.
⁴ Then the Lord GOD showed me this: he called for a judgment by fire. It had devoured the great abyss, and was consuming the land,	⁴ Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus Deus : et ecce vocabat judicium ad ignem Dominus Deus ; et devoravit abyssum multam, et comedit simul partem.
⁵ when I said: Cease, O Lord GOD! How can Jacob stand? He is so small!	⁵ Et dixi : Domine Deus, quiesce, obsecro ; quis suscitabit Jacob, quia parvulus est ?
⁶ The LORD repented of this. "This also shall not be," said the Lord GOD.	⁶ Misertus est Dominus super hoc : Sed et istud non erit, dixit Dominus Deus.
⁷ Then the Lord GOD showed me this: he was standing by a wall, plummet in hand.	⁷ Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus : et ecce Dominus stans super murum litum, et in manu ejus trulla cæmentarii.
⁸ The LORD asked me, "What do you see, Amos?" And when I answered, "A plummet," the Lord said: See, I will lay the plummet in the midst of my people Israel; I will forgive them no longer.	⁸ Et dixit Dominus ad me : Quid tu vides, Amos ? Et dixi : Trullam cæmentarii. Et dixit Dominus : Ecce ego ponam trullam in medio populi mei Israël ; non adjiciam ultra superinducere eum.
⁹ The high places of Isaac shall be laid waste, and the sanctuaries of Israel made desolate; I will attack the house of Jeroboam with the sword.	⁹ Et demolientur excelsa idoli, et sanctificationes Israël desolabuntur, et consurgam super domum Jeroboam in gladio.
¹⁰ Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent word to Jeroboam, king of Israel: "Amos has conspired against you here within Israel; the country cannot endure all his words.	¹⁰ Et misit Amasias, sacerdos Bethel, ad Jeroboam, regem Israël, dicens : Rebellavit contra te Amos in medio domus Israël ; non poterit terra sustinere universos sermones ejus.
¹¹ For this is what Amos says: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be exiled from its land."	¹¹ Hæc enim dicit Amos : In gladio morietur Jeroboam, et Israël captivus migrabit de terra sua.
¹² To Amos, Amaziah said: "Off with you, visionary, flee to the land of Judah! There earn your bread by prophesying,	¹² Et dixit Amasias ad Amos : Qui vides, gradere : fuge in terram Juda, et comede ibi panem, et prophetabis ibi.
¹³ but never again prophesy in Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuary and a royal temple."	¹³ Et in Bethel non adjicies ultra ut prophetes, quia sanctificatio regis est, et domus regni est.
¹⁴ Amos answered Amaziah, "I was no prophet, nor have I belonged to a company of prophets; I was a shepherd and a dresser of sycamores.	¹⁴ Responditque Amos, et dixit ad Amasiam : Non sum propheta, et non sum filius prophetæ : sed armentarius ego sum vellicans sycomoros.
¹⁵ The LORD took me from following the flock, and said to me, Go, prophesy to my people Israel.	¹⁵ Et tulit me Dominus cum sequerer gregem, et dixit Dominus ad me : Vade, propheta ad populum meum Israël.
¹⁶ Now hear the word of the LORD!" You say: prophesy not against Israel, preach not against the house of Isaac.	¹⁶ Et nunc audi verbum Domini : Tu dicis : Non prophetabis super Israël, et non stillabis super domum idoli.
¹⁷ Now thus says the LORD: Your wife shall be made a harlot in the city, and your sons and daughters shall fall by the sword; Your land shall be divided by measuring line, and you yourself shall die in an unclean land; Israel shall be exiled far from its land.	¹⁷ Propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus : Uxor tua in civitate fornicabitur, et filii tui et filiæ tuæ in gladio cadent, et humus tua funiculo metietur : et tu in terra polluta morieris, et Israël captivus migrabit de terra sua.
