Amos 8

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: et ecce canistrum pomorum.	1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: a basket of ripe fruit.
2 Et dixit: “ Quid tu vides, Amos? ”. Et dixi: “ Canistrum pomorum ”. Et dixit Dominus ad me: “ Venit finis super populum meum Israel; non adiciam ultra ignoscere ei.	2 "What do you see, Amos?" he asked. I answered, "A basket of ripe fruit." Then the LORD said to me: The time is ripe to have done with my people Israel; I will forgive them no longer.
3 Et lugent cantatrices palatii in die illa, dicit Dominus Deus; multa erunt cadavera, in omni loco proicientur: silentium.	3 The temple songs shall become wailings on that day, says the Lord GOD. Many shall be the corpses, strewn everywhere.--Silence!
4 Audite hoc, qui conteritis pauperem et deficere facitis egenos terrae,	4 Hear this, you who trample upon the needy and destroy the poor of the land!
5 dicentes: “Quando transibit neomenia, et venumdabimus merces? Et sabbatum, et aperiemus frumentum, ut imminuamus mensuram et augeamus siclum et supponamus stateras dolosas,	5 "When will the new moon be over," you ask, "that we may sell our grain, and the sabbath, that we may display the wheat? We will diminish the ephah, add to the shekel, and fix our scales for cheating!
6 ut possideamus in argento egenos et pauperem pro calceamentis et quisquilias frumenti vendamus?””.	6 We will buy the lowly man for silver, and the poor man for a pair of sandals; even the refuse of the wheat we will sell!"
7 Iuravit Dominus in superbia Iacob: “ Non obliviscar in perpetuum omnia opera eorum.	7 The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob: Never will I forget a thing they have done!
8 Numquid super isto non commovebitur terra, et lugebit omnis habitator eius, et ascendet quasi fluvius universa, fervebit et decrescet quasi flumen Aegypti?	8 Shall not the land tremble because of this, and all who dwell in it mourn, While it rises up and tosses like the Nile, and settles back like the river of Egypt?
9 Et erit: in die illa, dicit Dominus Deus, occidere faciam solem in meridie et tenebrescere faciam terram in die luminis	9 On that day, says the Lord GOD, I will make the sun set at midday and cover the earth with darkness in broad daylight.
10 et convertam festivitates vestras in luctum et omnia cantica vestra in planctum; et inducam super omnes lumbos saccum et super omne caput calvitium; et ponam eam quasi luctum unigeniti et novissima eius quasi diem amarum.	10 I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentations. I will cover the loins of all with sackcloth and make every head bald. I will make them mourn as for an only son, and bring their day to a bitter end.
11 Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et mittam famem in terram; non famem panis neque sitim aquae, sed audiendi verbum Domini ”.	11 Yes, days are coming, says the Lord GOD, when I will send famine upon the land: Not a famine of bread, or thirst for water, but for hearing the word of the LORD.
12 Et fugient a mari usque ad mare; et ab aquilone usque ad orientem circuibunt, quaerentes verbum Domini, et non invenient.	12 Then shall they wander from sea to sea and rove from the north to the east In search of the word of the LORD, but they shall not find it.
13 In die illa deficient virgines pulchrae et adulescentes in siti.	13 On that day, fair virgins and young men shall faint from thirst;
14 Qui iurant in delicto Samariae et dicunt: “ Vivit Deus tuus, Dan! ” et “ Vivit via, Bersabee! ”, et cadent et non resurgent ultra.	14 Those who swear by the shameful idol of Samaria, "By the life of your god, O Dan!" "By the life of your love, O Beersheba!" those shall fall, never to rise again.
