Amos 4

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 Listen to this saying, you cows of Bashan living on the hil of Samaria, exploiting the weak and il -treating the poor, saying to your husbands, 'Bring us something to drink!'	1 Audite verbum hoc, vaccae Basan, quae estis in monte Samariae, quae opprimitis egenos et vexatis pauperes, quae dicitis dominis vestris: “ Affer, ut bibamus ”.
2 The Lord God has sworn by his holiness: Look, the days wil soon be on you when he wil use hooks todrag you away and fish-hooks for the very last of you;	2 Iuravit Dominus Deus in sanctitate sua: “ Ecce dies venient super vos, et levabunt vos in contis et posteros vestros in hamis piscatoriis;
3 through the breaches in the wal you wil leave, each one straight ahead, and be herded away towardsHermon -declares Yahweh.	3 et per aperturas exibitis altera contra alteram et proiciemini in Armon ”, dicit Dominus.
4 Go to Bethel, and sin, to Gilgal, and sin even harder! Bring your sacrifices each morning, your tithesevery third day,	4 “ Venite in Bethel et impie agite, ad Galgalam et multiplicate praevaricationem; et offerte mane victimas vestras, tribus diebus decimas vestras,
5 burn your thank-offering of leaven and widely publicise your free-wil offerings, for this, children ofIsrael, is what makes you happy -declares the Lord Yahweh.	5 et sacrificate de fermentato laudem et vocate voluntarias oblationes et annuntiate; sic enim diligitis, filii Israel ”, dicit Dominus Deus.
6 I even gave you clean teeth in all your towns and a shortage of food in al your vil ages and stil youwould not come back to me -declares Yahweh.	6 “ Unde et ego dedi vobis vacuitatem dentium in cunctis urbibus vestris et indigentiam panis in omnibus locis vestris; et non estis reversi ad me ”, dicit Dominus.
7 I even withheld the rain from you ful three months before harvest-time; I caused rain to fall in one townand caused no rain to fal in another; one field was rained on and the next for want of rain dried up;	7 “ Ego quoque prohibui a vobis imbrem, cum adhuc tres menses superessent usque ad messem; et plui super unam civitatem et super alteram civitatem non plui: pars una compluta est, et pars, super quam non plui, aruit.
8 two towns, three towns went tottering to one town for water to drink but went unsatisfied, and stil youwould not come back to me -declares Yahweh.	8 Tunc fugiebant duae, tres civitates ad unam civitatem, ut biberent aquam, et non satiabantur; sed non redistis ad me ”, dicit Dominus.
9 I struck you with blight and mildew, I dried up your gardens and vineyards; the locust devoured your figtrees and olive trees and stil you would not come back to me -declares Yahweh.	9 “ Percussi vos in vento urente et in aurugine; multitudinem hortorum vestrorum et vinearum vestrarum, ficeta vestra et oliveta vestra comedit eruca; sed non redistis ad me ”, dicit Dominus.
10 I sent plague on you like Egypt's plague, I slaughtered your young men with the sword and at thesame time your horses were captured; I fil ed your nostrils with the stench of your camps and stil you would notcome back to me -declares Yahweh.	10 “ Misi in vos pestem sicut pestem Aegypti, percussi in gladio iuvenes vestros, captis equis vestris; et ascendere feci putredinem castrorum vestrorum in nares vestras; sed non redistis ad me ”, dicit Dominus.
11 I overturned you as God overturned Sodom and Gomorrah; you were like a brand snatched from theblaze and stil you would not come back to me -declares Yahweh.	11 “ Subverti vos, sicut subvertit Deus Sodomam et Gomorram, et facti estis quasi torris raptus ab incendio; sed non redistis ad me ”, dicit Dominus.
12 So this, Israel, is what I plan to do to you. Because I am going to do this to you, Israel, prepare tomeet your God!	12 Quapropter haec faciam tibi, Israel, et quia haec faciam tibi, praeparare in occursum Dei tui, Israel;
13 For look, he it is who forges the mountains, creates the wind, who reveals his mind to humankind,changes the dawn into darkness and strides on the heights of the world: Yahweh, God Sabaoth, is his name.	13 quia ecce formans montes et creans ventum et annuntians homini cogitationem eius, faciens auroram et tenebras et gradiens super excelsa terrae; Dominus, Deus exercituum, nomen eius.
