Amos 6

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 Woe to you who have been wealthy in Zion, and to you who have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: aristocrats, heads of the people, who advance with a retinue into the house of Israel.	1 Væ qui opulenti estis in Sion, et confiditis in monte Samariæ : optimates capita populorum, ingredientes pompatice domum Israël !
2 Cross over to Calneh and see, and go from there into Hamath the great, and descend into Gath of the Philistines, and to the best kingdoms of these, if their limits are wider than your limits.	2 Transite in Chalane, et videte, et ite inde in Emath magnam, et descendite in Geth Palæstinorum, et ad optima quæque regna horum : si latior terminus eorum termino vestro est.
3 You have been set aside for the day of disaster, and you approach the throne of iniquity.	3 Qui separati estis in diem malum, et appropinquatis solio iniquitatis ;
4 You sleep on beds of ivory, and you are lustful on your couches. You devour lambs from the flock and calves from the midst of the herd.	4 qui dormitis in lectis eburneis, et lascivitis in stratis vestris ; qui comeditis agnum de grege, et vitulos de medio armenti ;
5 You sing to the sound of stringed instruments; they consider themselves to have the musical abilities of David.	5 qui canitis ad vocem psalterii, sicut David putaverunt se habere vasa cantici,
6 You drink wine in bowls, and you anoint with the best ointments; and they suffer nothing over the grief of Joseph.	6 bibentes vinum in phialis, et optimo unguento delibuti, et nihil patiebantur super contritione Joseph.
7 Because of this, now they will depart at the head of those who go into captivity; and the faction of the lustful will be removed.	7 Quapropter nunc migrabunt in capite transmigrantium, et auferetur factio lascivientium.
8 The Lord God has sworn by his own soul, the Lord God of hosts says: I detest the arrogance of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will hand over the city with its inhabitants.	8 Juravit Dominus Deus in anima sua, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum : Detestor ego superbiam Jacob, et domos ejus odi, et tradam civitatem cum habitatoribus suis.
9 For if there were ten men remaining in one house, even they will die.	9 Quod si reliqui fuerint decem viri in domo una, et ipsi morientur.
10 And his closest relative will steal him away and will burn him, so that he may carry the bones out of the house. And he will say to him that is in the inner most rooms of the house, “Now is there any left that still belongs to you?”	10 Et tollet eum propinquus suus, et comburet eum, ut efferat ossa de domo ; et dicet ei, qui in penetralibus domus est : Numquid adhuc est penes te ?
11 And he will answer, “It is finished.” And he will say to him, “Be silent and do not call to mind the name of the Lord.”	11 Et respondebit : Finis est. Et dicet ei : Tace, et non recorderis nominis Domini.
12 For behold, the Lord has commanded, and he will strike the greater house with catastrophes, and the lesser house with divisions.	12 Quia ecce Dominus mandabit, et percutiet domum majorem ruinis, et domum minorem scissionibus.
13 Can horses gallop across rocks, or is anyone able to plough with gazelles? For you have turned judgment into bitterness and the fruit of justice into wormwood.	13 Numquid currere queunt in petris equi, aut arari potest in bubalis ? quoniam convertistis in amaritudinem judicium, et fructum justitiæ in absinthium.
14 You rejoice in emptiness. You say, “Have we not, by our own strength, taken horns for ourselves?”	14 Qui lætamini in nihilo ; qui dicitis : Numquid non in fortitudine nostra assumpsimus nobis cornua ?
15 For behold, house of Israel, I will raise up a people over you, says the Lord God of hosts, and they will crush you from the entrance of Hamath all the way to the burning of the desert.	15 Ecce enim suscitabo super vos, domus Israël, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum, gentem, et conteret vos ab introitu Emath usque ad torrentem deserti.
