Prophetia Amos, 6
1. Vae, qui tranquilli sunt in Sion et confidunt in monte Samariae; designati primitiae populorum, ad quos venit domus Israel!
1. "Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who feel secure on the mountain of Sama'ria, the notable men of the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
2. Transite in Chalanne et videte; et ite inde in Emath magnam et descendite in Geth Palaestinorum. Numquid meliores regnis istis vos, aut latior terminus eorum termino vestro est?
2. Pass over to Calneh, and see; and thence go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? Or is their territory greater than your territory,
3. Qui removetis diem malum et appropinquare facitis solium violentiae.
3. O you who put far away the evil day, and bring near the seat of violence?
4. Qui dormiunt in lectis eburneis, recumbentes in stratis suis, comedentes agnos de grege et vitulos de medio armenti;
4. "Woe to those who lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat lambs from the flock, and calves from the midst of the stall;
5. canentes ad vocem psalterii, sicut David excogitant sibi vasa cantici;
5. who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp, and like David invent for themselves instruments of music;
6. bibentes vinum in phialis, optimis unguentis delibuti, et non sunt contristati super ruina Ioseph.
6. who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the finest oils, but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!
7. Quapropter nunc migrabunt in capite transmigrantium, et auferetur factio lascivientium.
7. Therefore they shall now be the first of those to go into exile, and the revelry of those who stretch themselves shall pass away."
8. Iuravit Dominus Deus in anima sua, dicit Dominus, Deus exercituum: “Detestor ego superbiam Iacob et domos eius odi et tradam civitatem et plenitudinem eius”.
8. The Lord GOD has sworn by himself (says the LORD, the God of hosts): "I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his strongholds; and I will deliver up the city and all that is in it."
9. Quod si reliqui fuerint decem viri in domo una, et ipsi morientur;
9. And if ten men remain in one house, they shall die.
10. et tollet eum propinquus suus et comburet eum, ut efferat ossa de domo, et dicet ei, qui in penetralibus domus est: “Numquid adhuc est penes te?”. Et respondebit: “Non est”; et dicet ei: “Tace!”; non est qui recordetur nominis Domini.
10. And when a man's kinsman, he who burns him, shall take him up to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him who is in the innermost parts of the house, "Is there still any one with you?" he shall say, "No"; and he shall say, "Hush! We must not mention the name of the LORD."
11. Quia ecce Dominus mandat et percutiet domum maiorem ruinis et domum minorem scissionibus.
11. For behold, the LORD commands, and the great house shall be smitten into fragments, and the little house into bits.
12. Numquid currunt in petris equi, aut aratur mare in bobus, quoniam convertistis in venenum iudicium et fructum iustitiae in absinthium?
12. Do horses run upon rocks? Does one plow the sea with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood --
13. Qui laetantur pro Lodabar, qui dicunt: “Numquid non in fortitudine nostra cepimus nobis Carnaim?”.
13. you who rejoice in Lo-debar, who say, "Have we not by our own strength taken Karnaim for ourselves?"
14. “Ecce enim suscitabo super vos, domus Israel, dicit Dominus, Deus exercituum, gentem; et oppriment vos ab introitu Emath usque ad torrentem Arabae”.
14. "For behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel," says the LORD, the God of hosts; "and they shall oppress you from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of the Arabah."
