Prophetia Amos, 9

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 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 caelum, 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 quaeram et 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 fluvius ea omnis et decrescet sicut flumen Aegypti.

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 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. 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 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. "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 terrae; verumtamen conterens non conteram domum Iacob, 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 Israel, 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 reaedificabo rupturas eius; et ea, quae corruerant, instaurabo et reaedificabo illud sicut 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 Edom et omnes nationes, super quas invocatum est nomen meum, dicit Dominus, qui faciet haec.

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 uvae mittentem semen; et stillabunt montes mustum, et omnes colles liquefient.

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 Israel; et aedificabunt civitates vastatas 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 evellentur 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.
