King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.
1Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: et ecce fictor locustæ in principio germinantium serotini imbris, et ecce serotinus post tonsionem regis.
2And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD , forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
2Et factum est, cum consummasset comedere herbam terræ, dixi: Domine Deus, propitius esto, obsecro; quis suscitabit Jacob, quia parvulus est?
3The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD .
3Misertus est Dominus super hoc: Non erit, dixit Dominus.
4¶ Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
4Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: et ecce vocabat judicium ad ignem Dominus Deus; et devoravit abyssum multam, et comedit simul partem.
5Then said I, O Lord GOD , cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
5Et dixi: Domine Deus, quiesce, obsecro; quis suscitabit Jacob, quia parvulus est?
6The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD .
6Misertus est Dominus super hoc: Sed et istud non erit, dixit Dominus Deus.
7¶ Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
7Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus: et ecce Dominus stans super murum litum, et in manu ejus trulla cæmentarii.
8And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:
8Et dixit Dominus ad me: Quid tu vides, Amos? Et dixi: Trullam cæmentarii. Et dixit Dominus: [Ecce ego ponam trullam in medio populi mei Israël; non adjiciam ultra superinducere eum.
9And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
9Et demolientur excelsa idoli, et sanctificationes Israël desolabuntur, et consurgam super domum Jeroboam in gladio.]
10¶ Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
10Et misit Amasias, sacerdos Bethel, ad Jeroboam, regem Israël, dicens: Rebellavit contra te Amos in medio domus Israël; non poterit terra sustinere universos sermones ejus.
11For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
11Hæc enim dicit Amos: In gladio morietur Jeroboam, et Israël captivus migrabit de terra sua.
12Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
12Et dixit Amasias ad Amos: Qui vides, gradere: fuge in terram Juda, et comede ibi panem, et prophetabis ibi.
13But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.
13Et in Bethel non adjicies ultra ut prophetes, quia sanctificatio regis est, et domus regni est.
14¶ Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:
14Responditque Amos, et dixit ad Amasiam: Non sum propheta, et non sum filius prophetæ: sed armentarius ego sum vellicans sycomoros.
15And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
15Et tulit me Dominus cum sequerer gregem, et dixit Dominus ad me: Vade, propheta ad populum meum Israël.
16¶ Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD : Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.
16Et nunc audi verbum Domini: [Tu dicis: Non prophetabis super Israël, et non stillabis super domum idoli.
17Therefore thus saith the LORD ; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
17Propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus: Uxor tua in civitate fornicabitur, et filii tui et filiæ tuæ in gladio cadent, et humus tua funiculo metietur: et tu in terra polluta morieris, et Israël captivus migrabit de terra sua.]
