DRC, VulgClementine, KJV - Amos - 5

5:1  Hear ye this word, which I take up concerning you for a lamentation. The house of Israel is fallen, and it shall rise no more.

5:1  Audite verbum istud, quod ego levo super vos planctum : domus Israël cecidit, et non adjiciet ut resurgat.

5:1  Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.

5:2  The virgin of Israel is cast down upon her land, there is none to raise her up.

5:2  Virgo Israël projecta est in terram suam, non est qui suscitet eam.

5:2  The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.

5:3  For thus saith the Lord God: The city, out of which came forth a thousand, there shall be left in it a hundred: and out of which there came a hundred, there shall be left in it ten, in the house of Israel.

5:3  Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Urbs de qua egrediebantur mille, relinquentur in ea centum ; et de qua egrediebantur centum, relinquentur in ea decem in domo Israël.

5:3  For thus saith the Lord God; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.

5:4  For thus saith the Lord to the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and you shall live.

5:4  Quia hæc dicit Dominus domui Israël : Quærite me, et vivetis.

5:4  For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:

5:5  But seek not Bethel, and go not into Galgal, neither shall you pass over to Bersabee: for Galgal shall go into captivity, and Bethel shall be unprofitable.

5:5  Et nolite quærere Bethel, et in Galgalam nolite intrare, et in Bersabee non transibitis, quia Galgala captiva ducetur, et Bethel erit inutilis.

5:5  But seek not Beth–el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer–sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth–el shall come to nought.

5:6  Seek ye the Lord, and live: lest the house of Joseph be burnt with fire, and it shall devour, and there shall be none to quench Bethel.

5:6  Quærite Dominum, et vivite (ne forte comburatur ut ignis domus Joseph, et devorabit, et non erit qui extinguat Bethel :

5:6  Seek the Lord, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Beth–el.

5:7  You that turn judgment into wormwood, and forsake justice in the land,

5:7  qui convertitis in absinthium judicium, et justitiam in terra relinquitis) :

5:7  Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,

5:8  Seek him that maketh Arcturus, and Orion, and that turneth darkness into morning, and that changeth day into night: that calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.

5:8  facientem Arcturum et Orionem, et convertentem in mane tenebras, et diem in noctem mutantem ; qui vocat aquas maris, et effundit eas super faciem terræ ; Dominus nomen est ejus :

5:8  Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name:

5:9  He that with a smile bringeth destruction upon the strong, and waste upon the mighty.

5:9  qui subridet vastitatem super robustum, et depopulationem super potentem affert.

5:9  That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.

5:10  They have hated him that rebuketh in the gate: and have abhorred him that speaketh perfectly.

5:10  Odio habuerunt corripientem in porta, et loquentem perfecte abominati sunt.

5:10  They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.

5:11  Therefore because you robbed the poor, and took the choice prey from him: you shall build houses with square stone, and shall not dwell in them: you shall plant most delightful vineyards, and shall not drink the wine of them.

5:11  Idcirco, pro eo quod diripiebatis pauperem, et prædam electam tollebatis ab eo, domos quadro lapide ædificabitis, et non habitabitis in eis ; vineas plantabis amantissimas, et non bibetis vinum earum.

5:11  Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.

5:12  Because I know your manifold crimes, and your grievous sins: enemies of the just, taking bribes, and oppressing the poor in the gate.

5:12  Quia cognovi multa scelera vestra, et fortia peccata vestra : hostes justi, accipientes munus, et pauperes deprimentes in porta.

5:12  For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.

5:13  Therefore the prudent shall keep silence at that time, for it is an evil time.

5:13  Ideo prudens in tempore illo tacebit, quia tempus malum est.

5:13  Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.

5:14  Seek ye good, and not evil, that you may live: and the Lord the God of hosts will be with you, as you have said.

5:14  Quærite bonum, et non malum, ut vivatis ; et erit Dominus Deus exercituum vobiscum, sicut dixistis.

5:14  Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.

5:15  Hate evil, and love good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be the Lord the God of hosts may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.

5:15  Odite malum et diligite bonum, et constituite in porta judicium : si forte misereatur Dominus Deus exercituum reliquiis Joseph.

5:15  Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

5:16  Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of hosts the sovereign Lord: In every street there shall be wailing: and in all places that are without, they shall say: Alas, alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful in lamentation to lament.

5:16  Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus exercituum, dominator : In omnibus plateis planctus ; et in cunctis quæ foris sunt, dicetur : Væ, væ ! et vocabunt agricolam ad luctum, et ad planctum eos qui sciunt plangere.

5:16  Therefore the Lord, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.

5:17  And in all vineyards there shall be wailing: because I will pass through in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.

5:17  Et in omnibus vineis erit planctus, quia pertransibo in medio tui, dicit Dominus.

5:17  And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the Lord.

5:18  Woe to them that desire the day of the Lord: to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.

5:18  Væ desiderantibus diem Domini ! ad quid eam vobis ? Dies Domini ista, tenebræ, et non lux.

5:18  Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.

5:19  As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and a bear should meet him: or enter into the house, and lean with his hand upon the wall, and a serpent should bite him.

5:19  Quomodo si fugiat vir a facie leonis, et occurrat ei ursus ; et ingrediatur domum, et innitatur manu sua super parietem, et mordeat eum coluber.

5:19  As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

5:20  Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light: and obscurity, and no brightness in it?

5:20  Numquid non tenebræ dies Domini, et non lux ; et caligo, et non splendor in ea ?

5:20  Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

5:21  I hate, and have rejected your festivities: and I will not receive the odour of your assemblies.

5:21  Odi, et projeci festivitates vestras, et non capiam odorem cœtuum vestrorum.

5:21  I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

5:22  And if you offer me holocausts, and your gifts, I will not receive them: neither will I regard the vows of your fat beasts.

5:22  Quod si obtuleritis mihi holocautomata, et munera vestra, non suscipiam ; et vota pinguium vestrorum non respiciam.

5:22  Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

5:23  Take away from me the tumult of thy songs: and I will not hear the canticles of thy harp.

5:23  Aufer a me tumultum carminum tuorum ; et cantica lyræ tuæ non audiam.

5:23  Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

5:24  But judgment shall be revealed as water, and justice as a mighty torrent.

5:24  Et revelabitur quasi aqua judicium, et justitia quasi torrens fortis.

5:24  But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

5:25  Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me in the desert for forty years, O house of Israel?

5:25  Numquid hostias et sacrificium obtulistis mihi in deserto quadraginta annis, domus Israël ?

5:25  Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

5:26  But you carried a tabernacle for your Moloch, and the image of your idols, the star of your god, which you made to yourselves.

5:26  et portastis tabernaculum Moloch vestro, et imaginem idolorum vestrorum, sidus dei vestri, quæ fecistis vobis.

5:26  But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
