Amos 3-4
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
3 Audite verbum quod locutus est Dominus super vos, filii Israel, super omnem cognationem quam eduxi de terra AEgypti, dicens:
2 Tantummodo vos cognovi ex omnibus cognationibus terrae; idcirco visitabo super vos omnes iniquitates vestras.
3 Numquid ambulabunt duo pariter, nisi convenerit eis?
4 numquid rugiet leo in saltu, nisi habuerit praedam? numquid dabit catulus leonis vocem de cubili suo, nisi aliquid apprehenderit?
5 numquid cadet avis in laqueum terrae absque aucupe? numquid auferetur laqueus de terra antequam quid ceperit?
6 si clanget tuba in civitate, et populus non expavescet? si erit malum in civitate, quod Dominus non fecerit?
7 Quia non facit Dominus Deus verbum, nisi revelaverit secretum suum ad servos suos prophetas.
8 Leo rugiet, quis non timebit? Dominus Deus locutus est, quis non prophetabit?
9 Auditum facite in aedibus Azoti, et in aedibus terrae AEgypti, et dicite: Congregamini super montes Samariae, et videte insanias multas in medio ejus, et calumniam patientes in penetralibus ejus.
10 Et nescierunt facere rectum, dicit Dominus, thesaurizantes iniquitatem et rapinas in aedibus suis.
11 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Tribulabitur et circuietur terra: et detrahetur ex te fortitudo tua, et diripientur aedes tuae.
12 Haec dicit Dominus: Quomodo si eruat pastor de ore leonis duo crura, aut extremum auriculae, sic eruentur filii Israel, qui habitant in Samaria in plaga lectuli, et in Damasci grabato.
13 Audite, et contestamini in domo Jacob, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum;
14 quia in die cum visitare coepero praevaricationes Israel, super eum visitabo, et super altaria Bethel; et amputabuntur cornua altaris, et cadent in terram.
15 Et percutiam domum hiemalem cum domo aestiva, et peribunt domus eburneae, et dissipabuntur aedes multae, dicit Dominus.
4 Audite verbum hoc, vaccae pingues, quae estis in monte Samariae, quae calumniam facitis egenis et confringitis pauperes; quae dicitis dominis vestris: Afferte, et bibemus.
2 Juravit Dominus Deus in sancto suo, quia ecce dies venient super vos, et levabunt vos in contis, et reliquias vestras in ollis ferventibus.
3 Et per aperturas exibitis altera contra alteram, et projiciemini in Armon, dicit Dominus.
4 Venite ad Bethel, et impie agite; ad Galgalam, et multiplicate praevaricationem: et afferte mane victimas vestras, tribus diebus decimas vestras.
5 Et sacrificate de fermentato laudem, et vocate voluntarias oblationes, et annuntiate; sic enim voluistis, filii Israel, dicit Dominus Deus.
6 Unde et ego dedi vobis stuporem dentium in cunctis urbibus vestris, et indigentiam panum in omnibus locis vestris; et non estis reversi ad me, dicit Dominus.
7 Ego quoque prohibui a vobis imbrem, cum adhuc tres menses superessent usque ad messem: et plui super unam civitatem, et super alteram civitatem non plui; pars una compluta est, et pars super quam non plui, aruit.
8 Et venerunt duae et tres civitates ad unam civitatem ut biberent aquam, et non sunt satiatae; et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.
9 Percussi vos in vento urente, et in aurugine: multitudinem hortorum vestrorum et vinearum vestrarum, oliveta vestra et ficeta vestra comedit eruca: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.
10 Misi in vos mortem in via AEgypti; percussi in gladio juvenes vestros, usque ad captivitatem equorum vestrorum, et ascendere feci putredinem castrorum vestrorum in nares vestras: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.
11 Subverti vos sicut subvertit Deus Sodomam et Gomorrham, et facti estis quasi torris raptus ab incendio: et non redistis ad me, dicit Dominus.
12 Quapropter haec faciam tibi, Israel: postquam autem haec fecero tibi, praeparare in occursum Dei tui, Israel.
13 Quia ecce formans montes, et creans ventum, et annuntians homini eloquium suum, faciens matutinam nebulam, et gradiens super excelsa terrae: Dominus Deus exercituum nomen ejus.
Amos 3-4
New International Version
Amos 3-4
New International Version
Witnesses Summoned Against Israel
3 Hear this word, people of Israel, the word the Lord has spoken against you(A)—against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt:(B)
2 “You only have I chosen(C)
of all the families of the earth;
therefore I will punish(D) you
for all your sins.(E)”
3 Do two walk together
unless they have agreed to do so?
4 Does a lion roar(F) in the thicket
when it has no prey?(G)
Does it growl in its den
when it has caught nothing?
5 Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground
when no bait(H) is there?
Does a trap spring up from the ground
if it has not caught anything?
6 When a trumpet(I) sounds in a city,
do not the people tremble?
When disaster(J) comes to a city,
has not the Lord caused it?(K)
7 Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing
without revealing his plan(L)
to his servants the prophets.(M)
8 The lion(N) has roared(O)—
who will not fear?
The Sovereign Lord has spoken—
who can but prophesy?(P)
9 Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod(Q)
and to the fortresses of Egypt:
“Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria;(R)
see the great unrest within her
and the oppression among her people.”
10 “They do not know how to do right,(S)” declares the Lord,
“who store up in their fortresses(T)
what they have plundered(U) and looted.”
11 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“An enemy will overrun your land,
pull down your strongholds
and plunder your fortresses.(V)”
12 This is what the Lord says:
“As a shepherd rescues from the lion’s(W) mouth
only two leg bones or a piece of an ear,
so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued,
with only the head of a bed
and a piece of fabric[a] from a couch.[b](X)”
13 “Hear this and testify(Y) against the descendants of Jacob,” declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.
14 “On the day I punish(Z) Israel for her sins,
I will destroy the altars of Bethel;(AA)
the horns(AB) of the altar will be cut off
and fall to the ground.
15 I will tear down the winter house(AC)
along with the summer house;(AD)
the houses adorned with ivory(AE) will be destroyed
and the mansions(AF) will be demolished,(AG)”
declares the Lord.(AH)
Israel Has Not Returned to God
4 Hear this word, you cows of Bashan(AI) on Mount Samaria,(AJ)
you women who oppress the poor(AK) and crush the needy(AL)
and say to your husbands,(AM) “Bring us some drinks!(AN)”
2 The Sovereign Lord has sworn by his holiness:
“The time(AO) will surely come
when you will be taken away(AP) with hooks,(AQ)
the last of you with fishhooks.[c]
3 You will each go straight out
through breaches in the wall,(AR)
and you will be cast out toward Harmon,[d]”
declares the Lord.
4 “Go to Bethel(AS) and sin;
go to Gilgal(AT) and sin yet more.
Bring your sacrifices every morning,(AU)
your tithes(AV) every three years.[e](AW)
5 Burn leavened bread(AX) as a thank offering
and brag about your freewill offerings(AY)—
boast about them, you Israelites,
for this is what you love to do,”
declares the Sovereign Lord.
6 “I gave you empty stomachs in every city
and lack of bread in every town,
yet you have not returned to me,”
declares the Lord.(AZ)
7 “I also withheld(BA) rain from you
when the harvest was still three months away.
I sent rain on one town,
but withheld it from another.(BB)
One field had rain;
another had none and dried up.
8 People staggered from town to town for water(BC)
but did not get enough(BD) to drink,
yet you have not returned(BE) to me,”
declares the Lord.(BF)
9 “Many times I struck your gardens and vineyards,
destroying them with blight and mildew.(BG)
Locusts(BH) devoured your fig and olive trees,(BI)
yet you have not returned(BJ) to me,”
declares the Lord.
10 “I sent plagues(BK) among you
as I did to Egypt.(BL)
I killed your young men(BM) with the sword,
along with your captured horses.
I filled your nostrils with the stench(BN) of your camps,
yet you have not returned to me,”(BO)
declares the Lord.(BP)
11 “I overthrew some of you
as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.(BQ)
You were like a burning stick(BR) snatched from the fire,
yet you have not returned to me,”
declares the Lord.(BS)
12 “Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel,
and because I will do this to you, Israel,
prepare to meet your God.”
