1 Haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: et ecce, ipse formabat lo custas inprincipio, cum germinarent serotinae fruges; et ecce fruges serotinae postfruges demessas regis.	1 These things the Lord God has revealed to me. And behold, the locust was formed at the beginning of the germination during the latter rains, and behold, the latter rains came after the thundering of the king.
2 Et factum est, cum consummasset comedere herbam terrae,dixi: “Domine Deus, propitius esto, obsecro; quomodo stabit Iacob, quiaparvulus est? ”.	2 And it happened, when they had finally eaten all the grass in the land, that I said, “Lord God, be gracious, I beg you. Who will raise up Jacob, for he is little?”
3 Misertus est Dominus super hoc. “ Non erit ”, dixitDominus Deus.	3 The Lord has been merciful about this. “It will not be,” said the Lord.
4 Haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: et ecce, vocabat ad iudicium per ignemDominus Deus, et devoravit abyssum magnam et comedit simul partem.	4 These things the Lord God has revealed to me. And behold, the Lord God called for judgment unto fire, and it devoured the manifold abyss, and it consumed simultaneously in every direction.
5 Et dixi:“ Domine Deus, quiesce, obsecro; quomodo stabit Iacob, quia parvulus est? ”.	5 And I said, “Lord God, cease, I beg you. Who will raise up Jacob, for he is little?”
6 Misertus est Dominus super hoc. “ Sed et istud non erit ”, dicit DominusDeus.	6 The Lord has been merciful about this. “And even this will not be,” said the Lord God.
7 Haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: ecce vir stans super murum litum, et in manueius trulla caementarii.	7 These things the Lord revealed to me. And behold, the Lord was standing near a plastered wall, and in his hand was a mason’s trowel.
8 Et dixit Dominus ad me: “ Quid tu vides, Amos? ”.Et dixi: “ Trullam caementarii ”. Et dixit Dominus: “Ecce ego ponamtrullam in medio populi mei Israel; non adiciam ultra ignoscere ei.	8 And the Lord said to me, “What do you see, Amos?” And I said, “A mason’s trowel.” And the Lord said, “Behold, I will place the trowel in the midst of my people Israel. I will no longer plaster over them.
9 Etdemolientur excelsa Isaac, et sanctuaria Israel desolabuntur, et consurgam superdomum Ieroboam in gladio ”.	9 And the heights of the idol will be demolished, and the sanctuaries of Israel will be desolate. And I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
10 Et misit Amasias sacerdos Bethel ad Ieroboam regem Israel dicens: “Conspiravit contra te Amos in medio domus Israel; non poterit terra sustinereuniversos sermones eius.	10 And Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: “Amos has rebelled against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to withstand all his sermons.
11 Haec enim dicit Amos: “In gladio morieturIeroboam, et Israel captivus migrabit de terra sua” ”.	11 For Amos says this: ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will be taken captive out of their own land.’ ”
12 Et dixit Amasiasad Amos: “ Qui vides, gradere. Fuge in terram Iudae et comede ibi panem etprophetabis ibi;	12 And Amaziah said to Amos, “You, seer, go out and flee into the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there.
13 et in Bethel non adicies ultra ut prophetes, quiasanctuarium regis est, et domus regni est ”.	13 And in Bethel, do not prophesy any longer, because it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom.”
14 Responditque Amos et dixit adAmasiam: “ Non sum propheta et non sum filius prophetae; sed armentarius ego sum, vellicans sycomoros.	14 And Amos responded, and he said to Amasias, “I am not a prophet, and I am not the son of a prophet, but I am a herdsman plucking from wild fig trees.
15 Et tulit me Dominus, cum sequerer gregem, et dixit Dominus ad me: “Vade, propheta ad populum meum Israel”.	15 And the Lord took me, when I was following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ ”
16 Et nunc audi verbum Domini. Tu dicis: “Non prophetabis super Israel et nonstillabis verba super domum Isaac”.	16 And now, hear the word of the Lord: You say, “You will not prophesy about Israel, and you will not rain your words upon the house of the idol.”
17 Propter hoc haec dicit Dominus: “Uxortua in civitate fornicabitur, et filii tui et filiae tuae in gladio cadent, ethumus tua funiculo metietur; et tu in terra polluta morieris, et Israel captivusmigrabit de terra sua” ”.	17 Because of that, the Lord says this: “Your wife will fornicate in the city, and your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, and your soil will be measured with a string. And you will die on polluted land, and Israel will be taken into captivity out of their land.”
