Amos 2

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	VULGATA
1 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because he burned to lime the bones of the king of Edom.	1 Hæc dicit Dominus : Super tribus sceleribus Moab, et super quatuor non convertam eum, eo quod incenderit ossa regis Idumææ usque ad cinerem.
2 So I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the strongholds of Kerioth, and Moab shall die amid uproar, amid shouting and the sound of the trumpet;	2 Et mittam ignem in Moab, et devorabit ædes Carioth : et morietur in sonitu Moab, in clangore tubæ.
3 I will cut off the ruler from its midst, and will slay all its princes with him," says the LORD.	3 Et disperdam judicem de medio ejus, et omnes principes ejus interficiam cum eo, dicit Dominus.
4 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they have rejected the law of the LORD, and have not kept his statutes, but their lies have led them astray, after which their fathers walked.	4 Hæc dicit Dominus : Super tribus sceleribus Juda, et super quatuor non convertam eum, eo quod abjecerit legem Domini et mandata ejus non custodierit : deceperant enim eos idola sua, post quæ abierant patres eorum.
5 So I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem."	5 Et mittam ignem in Juda, et devorabit ædes Jerusalem.
6 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes--	6 Hæc dicit Dominus : Super tribus sceleribus Israël, et super quatuor non convertam eum, pro eo quod vendiderit pro argento justum, et pauperem pro calceamentis.
7 they that trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth, and turn aside the way of the afflicted; a man and his father go in to the same maiden, so that my holy name is profaned;	7 Qui conterunt super pulverem terræ capita pauperum, et viam humilium declinant : et filius ac pater ejus ierunt ad puellam, ut violarent nomen sanctum meum.
8 they lay themselves down beside every altar upon garments taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.	8 Et super vestimentis pignoratis accubuerunt juxta omne altare, et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui.
9 "Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and who was as strong as the oaks; I destroyed his fruit above, and his roots beneath.	9 Ego autem exterminavi Amorrhæum a facie eorum, cujus altitudo, cedrorum altitudo ejus, et fortis ipse quasi quercus ; et contrivi fructum ejus desuper, et radices ejus subter.
10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.	10 Ego sum qui ascendere vos feci de terra Ægypti, et duxi vos in deserto quadraginta annis, ut possideretis terram Amorrhæi.
11 And I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?" says the LORD.	11 Et suscitavi de filiis vestris in prophetas, et de juvenibus vestris nazaræos. Numquid non ita est, filii Israël ? dicit Dominus.
12 "But you made the Nazirites drink wine, and commanded the prophets, saying, 'You shall not prophesy.'	12 Et propinabitis nazaræis vinum, et prophetis mandabitis, dicentes : Ne prophetetis.
13 "Behold, I will press you down in your place, as a cart full of sheaves presses down.	13 Ecce ego stridebo subter vos, sicut stridet plaustrum onustum fœno.
14 Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain his strength, nor shall the mighty save his life;	14 Et peribit fuga a veloce, et fortis non obtinebit virtutem suam, et robustus non salvabit animam suam :
15 he who handles the bow shall not stand, and he who is swift of foot shall not save himself, nor shall he who rides the horse save his life;	15 et tenens arcum non stabit, et velox pedibus suis non salvabitur, et ascensor equi non salvabit animam suam :
16 and he who is stout of heart among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day," says the LORD.	16 et robustus corde inter fortes nudus fugiet in illa die, dicit Dominus.
