Amos 9

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Vidi Dominum stantem super altare, et dixit: “Percute capitellum, et commoveantur superliminaria; frange eos in capite omnes, et novissimum eorum in gladio interficiam; non fugiet ex eis fugitivus, et non salvabitur superstes eis.	1 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said: Strike the bases, so that the doorjambs totter till you break them off on the heads of them all! Those who are left I will slay with the sword; not one shall flee, no survivor shall escape.
2 Si descenderint usque ad infernum, inde manus mea educet eos; et si ascenderint usque in caelum, inde detraham eos.	2 Though they break through to the nether world, even from there my hand shall bring them out; Though they climb to the heavens, I will bring them down;
3 Et si absconditi fuerint in vertice Carmeli, inde quaeram et auferam eos; et si celaverint se ab oculis meis in profundo maris, ibi mandabo serpenti, et mordebit eos;	3 Though they hide on the summit of Carmel, there too I will hunt them out and take them away; Though they hide from my gaze in the bottom of the sea, I will command the serpent there to bite them;
4 et si abierint in captivitatem coram inimicis suis, ibi mandabo gladio, et occidet eos, et ponam oculos meos super eos in malum et non in bonum ”.	4 Though they are led into captivity by their enemies, there will I command the sword to slay them. I will fix my gaze upon them for evil, and not for good,
5 Et Dominus, Deus exercituum, qui tangit terram, et tabescet. Et lugebunt omnes habitantes in ea; et ascendet sicut fluvius ea omnis et decrescet sicut flumen Aegypti.	5 I, the Lord GOD of hosts. I melt the earth with my touch, so that all who dwell on it mourn, While it all rises up like the Nile, and settles back like the river of Egypt;
6 Qui aedificat in caelo ascensus suos et cameram suam super terram fundat, qui vocat aquas maris et effundit eas super faciem terrae; Dominus nomen eius.	6 I have built heaven, my upper chamber, and established my vault over the earth; I summon the waters of the sea and pour them upon the surface of the earth, I, the LORD by name.
7 “ Numquid non ut filii Aethiopum vos estis mihi, filii Israel?, ait Dominus. Numquid non Israel ascendere feci de terra Aegypti et Philisthim de Caphtor et Syros de Cir?	7 Are you not like the Ethiopians to me, O men of Israel, says the LORD? Did I not bring the Israelites from the land of Egypt As I brought the Philistines from Caphtor and the Arameans from Kir?
8 Ecce oculi Domini Dei super regnum peccans, et conteram illud a facie terrae; verumtamen conterens non conteram domum Iacob, dicit Dominus.	8 The eyes of the Lord GOD are on this sinful kingdom; I will destroy it from off the face of the earth. But I will not destroy the house of Jacob completely, says the LORD.
9 Ecce enim mandabo ego et concutiam in omnibus gentibus domum Israel, sicut concutitur triticum in cribro, et non cadet lapillus super terram.	9 For see, I have given the command to sift the house of Israel among all the nations, As one sifts with a sieve, letting no pebble fall to the ground.
10 In gladio morientur omnes peccatores populi mei, qui dicunt: “Non appropinquabit et non veniet super nos malum”.	10 By the sword shall all sinners among my people die, those who say, "Evil will not reach or overtake us."
11 In die illa suscitabo tabernaculum David, quod cecidit, et reaedificabo rupturas eius; et ea, quae corruerant, instaurabo et reaedificabo illud sicut diebus antiquis,	11 On that day I will raise up the fallen hut of David; I will wall up its breaches, raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old,
12 ut possideant reliquias Edom et omnes nationes, super quas invocatum est nomen meum, dicit Dominus, qui faciet haec.	12 That they may conquer what is left of Edom and all the nations that shall bear my name, say I, the LORD, who will do this.
13 Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et comprehendet arator messorem, et calcator uvae mittentem semen; et stillabunt montes mustum, et omnes colles liquefient.	13 Yes, days are coming, says the LORD, When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the vintager, him who sows the seed; The juice of grapes shall drip down the mountains, and all the hills shall run with it.
14 Et convertam captivitatem populi mei Israel; et aedificabunt civitates vastatas et inhabitabunt et plantabunt vineas et bibent vinum earum et facient hortos et comedent fructus eorum.	14 I will bring about the restoration of my people Israel; they shall rebuild and inhabit their ruined cities, Plant vineyards and drink the wine, set out gardens and eat the fruits.
15 Et plantabo eos super humum suam, et non evellentur ultra de terra sua, quam dedi eis ”, dicit Dominus Deus tuus.	15 I will plant them upon their own ground; never again shall they be plucked From the land I have given them, say I, the LORD, your God.
