LXXCATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ουτως εδειξεν μοι κυριος και ιδου αγγος ιξευτου1 These things the Lord has revealed to me. And behold, a hook to draw down fruit.
2 και ειπεν τι συ βλεπεις αμως και ειπα αγγος ιξευτου και ειπεν κυριος προς με ηκει το περας επι τον λαον μου ισραηλ ουκετι μη προσθω του παρελθειν αυτον2 And he said, “What do you see, Amos?” And I said, “A hook to draw down fruit.” And the Lord said to me, “The end has come for my people Israel. I will no longer pass through them.”
3 και ολολυξει τα φατνωματα του ναου εν εκεινη τη ημερα λεγει κυριος πολυς ο πεπτωκως εν παντι τοπω επιρριψω σιωπην3 And the hinges of the temple will creak in that day, says the Lord God. Many will die. Silence will be thrown away in all places.
4 ακουσατε δη ταυτα οι εκτριβοντες εις το πρωι πενητα και καταδυναστευοντες πτωχους απο της γης4 Hear this, you who crush the poor and who make those in need of land to do without.
5 οι λεγοντες ποτε διελευσεται ο μην και εμπολησομεν και τα σαββατα και ανοιξομεν θησαυρους του ποιησαι μικρον μετρον και του μεγαλυναι σταθμια και ποιησαι ζυγον αδικον5 You say, “When will the first day of the month be over, so we can sell our wares, and the sabbath, so we can open the grain: in order that we may decrease the measure, and increase the price, and substitute deceitful scales,
6 του κτασθαι εν αργυριω πτωχους και ταπεινον αντι υποδηματων και απο παντος γενηματος εμπορευσομεθα6 in order that we may possess the destitute with money, and the poor for a pair of shoes, and may sell even the refuse of the grain?”
7 ομνυει κυριος καθ' υπερηφανιας ιακωβ ει επιλησθησεται εις νεικος παντα τα εργα υμων7 The Lord has sworn by the arrogance of Jacob: I will not forget, even to the end, all their works.
8 και επι τουτοις ου ταραχθησεται η γη και πενθησει πας ο κατοικων εν αυτη και αναβησεται ως ποταμος συντελεια και καταβησεται ως ποταμος αιγυπτου8 Will not the earth shudder over this, and all its inhabitants mourn, and all rise up like a river, and be cast out, and flow away like the river of Egypt?
9 και εσται εν εκεινη τη ημερα λεγει κυριος ο θεος και δυσεται ο ηλιος μεσημβριας και συσκοτασει επι της γης εν ημερα το φως9 And it will be in that day, says the Lord God, that the sun will decline at midday, and I will cause the earth to become dark on the day of light.
10 και μεταστρεψω τας εορτας υμων εις πενθος και πασας τας ωδας υμων εις θρηνον και αναβιβω επι πασαν οσφυν σακκον και επι πασαν κεφαλην φαλακρωμα και θησομαι αυτον ως πενθος αγαπητου και τους μετ' αυτου ως ημεραν οδυνης10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your hymns into lamentation. And I will put sackcloth over every one of your backs, and baldness on every head. And I will begin it like the mourning for an only-begotten son, and complete it like a bitter day.
11 ιδου ημεραι ερχονται λεγει κυριος και εξαποστελω λιμον επι την γην ου λιμον αρτου ουδε διψαν υδατος αλλα λιμον του ακουσαι λογον κυριου11 Behold, the days pass, says the Lord, and I will send a famine on the earth: not a famine of bread, nor of thirst for water, but for hearing the word of the Lord.
12 και σαλευθησονται υδατα εως θαλασσης και απο βορρα εως ανατολων περιδραμουνται ζητουντες τον λογον κυριου και ου μη ευρωσιν12 And they will move even from sea to sea, and from the North all the way to the East. They will wander around seeking the word of the Lord, and they will not find it.
13 εν τη ημερα εκεινη εκλειψουσιν αι παρθενοι αι καλαι και οι νεανισκοι εν διψει13 In that day, beautiful virgins, and young men, will fail because of thirst.
14 οι ομνυοντες κατα του ιλασμου σαμαρειας και οι λεγοντες ζη ο θεος σου δαν και ζη ο θεος σου βηρσαβεε και πεσουνται και ου μη αναστωσιν ετι14 They swear by the offense of Samaria, and they say, “As your God lives, Dan,” and “The way of Beer-sheba lives.” And they will fall, and they will not rise up any more.
