Amos 9

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 over an altar, and he said: “Strike the hinges, and let the lintels be shaken. For there is avarice at the head of them all, and I will execute the very last of them with the sword. There will be no escape for them. They will flee, and he who flees from among them will not be saved.
2 Si descenderint usque ad infernum, inde manus mea educet eos; et si ascenderint usque in caelum, inde detraham eos.	2 If they descend even to the underworld, from there my hand will draw them out; and if they ascend even to the sky, from there will I pull 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 And if they were hiding at the top of Carmel, when searching there, I would steal them away, and if they conceal themselves from my eyes in the depths of the sea, I will command the serpent there and he will 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 And if they go into captivity in the sight of their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. And I will set my eyes over them for harm 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 And the Lord God of hosts, he touches the earth and it will melt. And all who dwell in it will mourn. And everyone will rise up like a river, and will flow away 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 He establishes his ascension into heaven, and he has founded his bundle on the earth. He calls the waters of the ocean, and pours them over the face of the earth. The Lord is his 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 Sons of Israel, are you not like the sons of the Ethiopians to me, says the Lord? Did I not cause Israel to rise up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines out of Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of Cyrene?
8 Ecce oculi Domini Dei super regnum peccans, et conteram illud a facie terrae; verumtamen conterens non conteram domum Iacob, dicit Dominus.	8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinning kingdom, and I will wipe it from the face of the earth. Though truly, when destroying, I will not wipe away the house of Jacob, 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 behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, as wheat is sifted in a sieve. And not even one small stone will fall to the ground.
10 In gladio morientur omnes peccatores populi mei, qui dicunt: “Non appropinquabit et non veniet super nos malum”.	10 All the sinners of my people will die by the sword. They say, “Disaster will not come near us, and it will not overcome 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 In that day, I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which is fallen. And I will repair the breaches in its walls, and I will restore that which collapsed. And I will rebuild it, just as in the days of antiquity,
12 ut possideant reliquias Edom et omnes nationes, super quas invocatum est nomen meum, dicit Dominus, qui faciet haec.	12 so that they may possess the remnant of Idumea and all the nations, for my name has been invoked over them, says the Lord who does 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 Behold, the days pass, says the Lord, and the plower will overtake the harvester, and the treader of grapes will overtake the sower of seed. And the mountains will drip sweetness, and every hill will be cultivated.
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 And I will turn back the captivity of my people Israel. And they will rebuild the deserted cities and inhabit them. And they will plant vineyards and drink their wine. And they will create gardens and eat their fruits.
15 Et plantabo eos super humum suam, et non evellentur ultra de terra sua, quam dedi eis ”, dicit Dominus Deus tuus.	15 And I will plant them on their own soil. And I will no longer root them out of their own land, which I have given them, says the Lord your God.
