Amos 2

VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Hæc dicit Dominus : Super tribus sceleribus Moab, et super quatuor non convertam eum, eo quod incenderit ossa regis Idumææ usque ad cinerem.	1 Yahweh says this: For the three crimes, the four crimes of Moab, I have made my decree and will notrelent: because they have burnt the bones of the king of Edom to ash,
2 Et mittam ignem in Moab, et devorabit ædes Carioth : et morietur in sonitu Moab, in clangore tubæ.	2 I shal send fire down into Moab to devour the palaces of Kerioth, and Moab will die in the tumult, amidwar cries and the blare of trumpets;
3 Et disperdam judicem de medio ejus, et omnes principes ejus interficiam cum eo, dicit Dominus.	3 I shal destroy the ruler there and slaughter al the chief men there with him, says Yahweh.
4 Hæc dicit Dominus : Super tribus sceleribus Juda, et super quatuor non convertam eum, eo quod abjecerit legem Domini et mandata ejus non custodierit : deceperant enim eos idola sua, post quæ abierant patres eorum.	4 Yahweh says this: For the three crimes, the four crimes of Judah, I have made my decree and wil notrelent: because they have despised Yahweh's law and not kept his commandments, since their Falsehoods,which their ancestors followed, have led them astray,
5 Et mittam ignem in Juda, et devorabit ædes Jerusalem.	5 I shal send fire down on Judah to devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
6 Hæc dicit Dominus : Super tribus sceleribus Israël, et super quatuor non convertam eum, pro eo quod vendiderit pro argento justum, et pauperem pro calceamentis.	6 Yahweh says this: For the three crimes, the four crimes of Israel, I have made my decree and wil notrelent: because they have sold the upright for silver and the poor for a pair of sandals,
7 Qui conterunt super pulverem terræ capita pauperum, et viam humilium declinant : et filius ac pater ejus ierunt ad puellam, ut violarent nomen sanctum meum.	7 because they have crushed the heads of the weak into the dust and thrust the rights of the oppressedto one side, father and son sleeping with the same girl and thus profaning my holy name,
8 Et super vestimentis pignoratis accubuerunt juxta omne altare, et vinum damnatorum bibebant in domo Dei sui.	8 lying down beside every altar on clothes acquired as pledges, and drinking the wine of the people theyhave fined in the house of their god.
9 Ego autem exterminavi Amorrhæum a facie eorum, cujus altitudo, cedrorum altitudo ejus, et fortis ipse quasi quercus ; et contrivi fructum ejus desuper, et radices ejus subter.	9 Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, he who was as tal as the cedars, as strong as theoaks; I who destroyed his fruit above ground and his roots below.
10 Ego sum qui ascendere vos feci de terra Ægypti, et duxi vos in deserto quadraginta annis, ut possideretis terram Amorrhæi.	10 It was I who brought you up from Egypt and for forty years led you through the desert to takepossession of the Amorite's country;
11 Et suscitavi de filiis vestris in prophetas, et de juvenibus vestris nazaræos. Numquid non ita est, filii Israël ? dicit Dominus.	11 I who raised up prophets from your sons and Nazirites from your young men. Israelites, is this nottrue? -declares Yahweh!
12 Et propinabitis nazaræis vinum, et prophetis mandabitis, dicentes : Ne prophetetis.	12 But you have made the Nazirite drink wine and given orders to the prophets, 'Do not prophesy.'
13 Ecce ego stridebo subter vos, sicut stridet plaustrum onustum fœno.	13 Very wel ! Like a cart overloaded with sheaves I shall crush you where you stand;
14 Et peribit fuga a veloce, et fortis non obtinebit virtutem suam, et robustus non salvabit animam suam :	14 flight wil be cut off for the swift, the strong will have no chance to exert his strength nor the warrior beable to save his life;
15 et tenens arcum non stabit, et velox pedibus suis non salvabitur, et ascensor equi non salvabit animam suam :	15 the archer wil not stand his ground, the swift of foot wil not escape, nor will the horseman save hislife;
16 et robustus corde inter fortes nudus fugiet in illa die, dicit Dominus.	16 even the bravest of warriors will jettison his arms and run away, that day! -declares Yahweh!
