Amos 8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	VULGATA
1 Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.	1 Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus Deus : et ecce uncinus pomorum.
2 And he said, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the LORD said to me, "The end has come upon my people Israel; I will never again pass by them.	2 Et dixit : Quid tu vides, Amos ? Et dixi : Uncinum pomorum. Et dixit Dominus ad me : Venit finis super populum meum Israël ; non adjiciam ultra ut pertranseam eum.
3 The songs of the temple shall become wailings in that day," says the Lord GOD; "the dead bodies shall be many; in every place they shall be cast out in silence."	3 Et stridebunt cardines templi in die illa, dicit Dominus Deus : multi morientur ; in omni loco projicietur silentium.
4 Hear this, you who trample upon the needy, and bring the poor of the land to an end,	4 Audite hoc, qui conteritis pauperem, et deficere facitis egenos terræ,
5 saying, "When will the new moon be over, that we may sell grain? And the sabbath, that we may offer wheat for sale, that we may make the ephah small and the shekel great, and deal deceitfully with false balances,	5 dicentes : Quando transibit mensis, et venundabimus 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 sandals, and sell the refuse of the wheat?"	6 ut possideamus in argento egenos et pauperes pro calceamentis, et quisquilias frumenti vendamus ?
7 The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob: "Surely I will never forget any of their deeds.	7 Juravit Dominus in superbiam Jacob : Si oblitus fuero usque ad finem omnia opera eorum.
8 Shall not the land tremble on this account, and every one mourn who dwells in it, and all of it rise like the Nile, and be tossed about and sink again, like the Nile of Egypt?"	8 Numquid super isto non commovebitur terra, et lugebit omnis habitator ejus, et ascendet quasi fluvius universus, et ejicicetur, et defluet, quasi rivus Ægypti ?
9 "And on that day," says the Lord GOD, "I will make the sun go down at noon, and darken the earth in broad daylight.	9 Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus Deus : occidet sol in meridie, et tenebrescere faciam terram in die luminis :
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness on every head; I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.	10 et convertam festivitates vestras in luctum, et omnia cantica vestra in planctum, et inducam super omne dorsum vestrum saccum, et super omne caput calvitium : et ponam eam quasi luctum unigeniti, et novissima ejus quasi diem amarum.
11 "Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord GOD, "when I will send a famine on the land; not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.	11 Ecce dies veniunt, dicet Dominus, et mittam famem in terram : non famem panis, neque sitim aquæ, sed audiendi verbum Domini.
12 They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the LORD, but they shall not find it.	12 Et commovebuntur a mari usque ad mare, et ab aquilone usque ad orientem : circuibunt quærentes verbum Domini, et non invenient.
13 "In that day the fair virgins and the young men shall faint for thirst.	13 In die illa deficient virgines pulchræ et adolescentes in siti,
14 Those who swear by Ashimah of Samaria, and say, 'As thy god lives, O Dan,' and, 'As the way of Beer-sheba lives,' they shall fall, and never rise again."	14 qui jurant in delicto Samariæ, et dicunt : Vivit Deus tuus, Dan, et vivit via Bersabee ; et cadent, et non resurgent ultra.
