Prophetia Amos

Amos

1

Audite verbum quod locutus est Dominus super vos, filii Israël, super omnem cognationem quam eduxi de terra Ægypti, dicens:

Hear the word that the Lord hath spoken concerning you, O ye children of Israel: concerning the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:

Audi verbo quod locuto es Domino super vos, filio Israële, super omni cognatione quam educe de terra de Aegypto, dicente:

2

Tantummodo vos cognovi ex omnibus cognationibus terræ; idcirco visitabo super vos omnes iniquitates vestras.

You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore will I visit upon you all your iniquities.

Tantummodo vos cognosce ex omni cognationes de terra; ergo visita super vos omni iniquitates vestro.

3

Numquid ambulabunt duo pariter, nisi convenerit eis?

Shall two walk together except they be agreed?

Numquid duo ambula pariter, nisi conveni ad illos?

4

numquid rugiet leo in saltu, nisi habuerit prædam? numquid dabit catulus leonis vocem de cubili suo, nisi aliquid apprehenderit?

Will a lion roar in the forest, if he have no prey? will the lion's whelp cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?

Numquid leone rugie in saltu, nisi habe praeda? Numquid catulo de leone i da voce de cubili suo, nisi aliquo apprehende?

5

numquid cadet avis in laqueum terræ absque aucupe? numquid auferetur laqueus de terra antequam quid ceperit?

Will the bird fall into the snare upon the earth, if there be no fowler? Shall the snare be taken up from the earth, before it hath taken somewhat?

Numquid ave cade in laqueo de terra absque aucupe? Numquid laqueo aufer de terra antequam quid cape?

6

si clanget tuba in civitate, et populus non expavescet? si erit malum in civitate, quod Dominus non fecerit?

Shall the trumpet sound in a city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, which the Lord hath not done?

Si tuba clange in civitate, et populo non exspavesca? Si es malo in civitate, quod Domino non fac?

7

Quia non facit Dominus Deus verbum, nisi revelaverit secretum suum ad servos suos prophetas.

For the Lord God doth nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets.

Quia non Domino Deo fac verbo, nisi revela secreto suo ad servos suo prophetas.

8

Leo rugiet, quis non timebit? Dominus Deus locutus est, quis non prophetabit?

The lion shall roar, who will not fear? The Lord God hath spoken, who shall not prophesy?

Leo rugie, qui non time? Domino Deo locuto es, qui non propheta?

9

Auditum facite in ædibus Azoti, et in ædibus terræ Ægypti, et dicite: Congregamini super montes Samariæ, et videte insanias multas in medio ejus, et calumniam patientes in penetralibus ejus.

Publish it in the houses of Azotus, and in the houses of the land of Egypt, and say: Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the many follies in the midst thereof, and them that suffer oppression in the inner rooms thereof.

Lude fac in aedes de Azoto, et in aedes de terra de Aegypto, et dic: congrega super montes de Samaria, et vide insani multo in medio de illo, et calumnia pate in penetralias de illo.

10

Et nescierunt facere rectum, dicit Dominus, thesaurizantes iniquitatem et rapinas in ædibus suis.

And they have not known to do the right thing, saith the Lord, storing up iniquity, and robberies in their houses.

Et ne sci facere rectus, Domino dic, thesauriza iniquitate et rapinas in aedes suo.

11

Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Tribulabitur et circuietur terra: et detrahetur ex te fortitudo tua, et diripientur ædes tuæ.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God: The land shall be in tribulation, and shall be compassed about: and thy strength shall be taken away from thee, and thy houses shall be spoiled.

Propter hoc Domino Deo dic hoc: tribula et terra circui: et fortitudine ex te tuo detrahe, et aedes tuo diripe.

12

Hæc dicit Dominus: Quomodo si eruat pastor de ore leonis duo crura, aut extremum auriculæ, sic eruentur filii Israël, qui habitant in Samaria in plaga lectuli, et in Damasci grabato.

Thus saith the Lord: As if a shepherd should get out of the lion's mouth two legs, or the tip of the ear: so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria, in a place of a bed, and in the couch of Damascus.

Domino dic hoc: quomodo si erue pastore de ore de leone duo crure, aut extremo de auricula, sic erue filios Israële, qui habita in Samaria in plaga de lectulo, et in Damasco grabato.

13

Audite, et contestamini in domo Jacob, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum;

Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord the God of hosts:

Audi, et contesta in domo Iacobo, Domino Deo de exercitus dic;

14

quia in die cum visitare cœpero prævaricationes Israël, super eum visitabo, et super altaria Bethel; et amputabuntur cornua altaris, et cadent in terram.

That in the day when I shall begin to visit the transgressions of Israel, I will visit upon him, and upon the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altars shall be cut off, and shall fall to the ground.

Quia in die cum visita incipe praevaricationes Israële, super illo visita, et super altarios Bethele; et cornus de altari amputa, et cade in terra.

15

Et percutiam domum hiemalem cum domo æstiva, et peribunt domus eburneæ, et dissipabuntur ædes multæ, dicit Dominus.

And I will strike the winter house with the summer house: and the houses of ivory shall perish, and many houses shall be destroyed, saith the Lord.

Et percute domo hiemali cum domo aestivo, et domos de eburneas peri, et aedes multo dissipa, Domino dic.
