Amos 9

VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Vidi Dominum stantem super altare, et dixit : Percute cardinem, et commoveantur superliminaria : avaritia enim in capite omnium, et novissimum eorum in gladio interficiam ; non erit fuga eis. Fugient, et non salvabitur ex eis qui fugerit.	1 I saw the LORD standing beside the altar, and he said: "Smite the capitals until the thresholds shake, and shatter them on the heads of all the people; and what are left of them I will slay with the sword; not one of them shall flee away, not one of them shall escape.
2 Si descenderint usque ad infernum, inde manus mea educet eos ; et si ascenderint usque in cælum, inde detraham eos.	2 "Though they dig into Sheol, from there shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, from there I will bring them down.
3 Et si absconditi fuerint in vertice Carmeli, inde scrutans auferam eos ; et si celaverint se ab oculis meis in profundo maris, ibi mandabo serpenti, et mordebit eos.	3 Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, from there I will search out and take them; and though they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it shall 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 though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it shall slay them; and I will set my eyes 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 rivus omnis, et defluet sicut fluvius Ægypti.	5 The Lord, GOD of hosts, he who touches the earth and it melts, and all who dwell in it mourn, and all of it rises like the Nile, and sinks again, like the Nile of Egypt;
6 Qui ædificat in cælo ascensionem suam, et fasciculum suum super terram fundavit ; qui vocat aquas maris, et effundit eas super faciem terræ : Dominus nomen ejus.	6 who builds his upper chambers in the heavens, and founds his vault upon the earth; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the surface of the earth-- the LORD is his name.
7 Numquid non ut filii Æthiopum vos estis mihi, filii Israël ? ait Dominus. Numquid non Israël ascendere feci de terra Ægypti, et Palæstinos de Cappadocia, et Syros de Cyrene ?	7 "Are you not like the Ethiopians to me, O people of Israel?" says the LORD. "Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor and the Syrians from Kir?
8 Ecce oculi Domini Dei super regnum peccans : et conteram illud a facie terræ ; verumtamen conterens non conteram domum Jacob, dicit Dominus.	8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the surface of the ground; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob," says the LORD.
9 Ecce enim mandabo ego, et concutiam in omnibus gentibus domum Israël, sicut concutitur triticum in cribro, et non cadet lapillus super terram.	9 "For lo, I will command, and shake the house of Israel among all the nations as one shakes with a sieve, but no pebble shall fall upon the earth.
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 shall die by the sword, who say, 'Evil shall not overtake or meet us.'
11 In die illa suscitabo tabernaculum David, quod cecidit : et reædificabo aperturas murorum ejus, et ea quæ corruerant instaurabo : et reædificabo illud sicut in diebus antiquis,	11 "In that day I will raise up the booth of David that is fallen and repair its breaches, and raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old;
12 ut possideant reliquias Idumææ, et omnes nationes : eo quod invocatum sit nomen meum super eos, dicit Dominus faciens hæc.	12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name," says the LORD who does this.
13 Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et comprehendet arator messorem, et calcator uvæ mittentem semen : et stillabunt montes dulcedinem, et omnes colli culti erunt.	13 "Behold, the days are coming," says the LORD, "when the plowman shall overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed; the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it.
14 Et convertam captivitatem populi mei Israël ; et ædificabunt civitates desertas, et inhabitabunt ; et plantabunt vineas, et bibent vinum earum, et facient hortos, et comedent fructus eorum.	14 I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 Et plantabo eos super humum suam, et non evellam eos ultra de terra sua, quam dedi eis, dicit Dominus Deus tuus.	15 I will plant them upon their land, and they shall never again be plucked up out of the land which I have given them," says the LORD your God.
