Amos 6

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Vae, qui tranquilli sunt in Sion et confidunt in monte Samariae; designati primitiae populorum, ad quos venit domus Israel!	1 Woe to the complacent in Zion, to the overconfident on the mount of Samaria, Leaders of a nation favored from the first, to whom the people of Israel have recourse!
2 Transite in Chalanne et videte; et ite inde in Emath magnam et descendite in Geth Palaestinorum. Numquid meliores regnis istis vos, aut latior terminus eorum termino vestro est?	2 Pass over to Calneh and see, go from there to Hamath the great, and down to Gath of the Philistines! Are you better than these kingdoms, or is your territory wider than theirs?
3 Qui removetis diem malum et appropinquare facitis solium violentiae.	3 You would put off the evil day, yet you hasten the reign of violence!
4 Qui dormiunt in lectis eburneis, recumbentes in stratis suis, comedentes agnos de grege et vitulos de medio armenti;	4 Lying upon beds of ivory, stretched comfortably on their couches, They eat lambs taken from the flock, and calves from the stall!
5 canentes ad vocem psalterii, sicut David excogitant sibi vasa cantici;	5 Improvising to the music of the harp, like David, they devise their own accompaniment.
6 bibentes vinum in phialis, optimis unguentis delibuti, et non sunt contristati super ruina Ioseph.	6 They drink wine from bowls and anoint themselves with the best oils; yet they are not made ill by the collapse of Joseph!
7 Quapropter nunc migrabunt in capite transmigrantium, et auferetur factio lascivientium.	7 Therefore, now they shall be the first to go into exile, and their wanton revelry shall be done away with.
8 Iuravit Dominus Deus in anima sua, dicit Dominus, Deus exercituum: “ Detestor ego superbiam Iacob et domos eius odi et tradam civitatem et plenitudinem eius ”.	8 The Lord GOD has sworn by his very self, say I, the LORD, the God of hosts: I abhor the pride of Jacob, I hate his castles, and I give over the city with everything in it;
9 Quod si reliqui fuerint decem viri in domo una, et ipsi morientur;	9 Should there remain ten men in a single house, these shall die.
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? ”. Et respondebit: “Non est”; et dicet ei: “Tace!”; non est qui recordetur nominis Domini.	10 Only a few shall be left to carry the dead out of the houses; If one says to a man inside a house, "Is anyone with you?" and he answers, "No one," Then he shall say, "Silence!" for no one must mention the name of the LORD.
11 Quia ecce Dominus mandat et percutiet domum maiorem ruinis et domum minorem scissionibus.	11 Indeed, the LORD has given the command to shatter the great house to bits, and reduce the small house to rubble.
12 Numquid currunt in petris equi, aut aratur mare in bobus, quoniam convertistis in venenum iudicium et fructum iustitiae in absinthium?	12 Can horses run across a cliff? or can one plow the sea with oxen? Yet you have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of justice into wormwood.
13 Qui laetantur pro Lodabar, qui dicunt: “ Numquid non in fortitudine nostra cepimus nobis Carnaim? ”.	13 You rejoice in Lodebar, and say, "Have we not, by our own strength, seized for ourselves Karnaim?"
14 “ Ecce enim suscitabo super vos, domus Israel, dicit Dominus, Deus exercituum, gentem; et oppriment vos ab introitu Emath usque ad torrentem Arabae ”.	14 Beware, I am raising up against you, O house of Israel, say I, the LORD, the God of hosts, A nation that shall oppress you from Labo of Hamath even to the Wadi Arabah.
