Comparison
Amos 5
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | Audite verbum istud, quod ego levo super vos planctum: domus Israël cecidit, et non adiiciet ut resurgat. |
| 2 | The virgin of Israel is cast down upon her land, there is none to raise her up. | Virgo Israël proiecta est in terram suam, non est qui suscitet eam. |
| 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. | Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Urbs de qua egrediebantur mille, relinquentur in ea centum; et de qua egrediebantur centum, relinquentur in ea decem in domo Israël. |
| 4 | For thus saith the Lord to the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and you shall live. | Quia haec dicit Dominus domui Israël: Quaerite me, et vivetis. |
| 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. | Et nolite quaerere Bethel, et in Galgalam nolite intrare, et in Bersabee non transibitis, quia Galgala captiva ducetur, et Bethel erit inutilis. |
| 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. | Quaerite Dominum, et vivite (ne forte comburatur ut ignis domus Ioseph, et devorabit, et non erit qui extinguat Bethel: |
| 7 | You that turn judgment into wormwood, and forsake justice in the land, | qui convertitis in absinthium iudicium, et iustitiam in terra relinquitis): |
| 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. | facientem Arcturum et Orionem, et convertentem in mane tenebras, et diem in noctem mutantem; qui vocat aquas maris, et effundit eas super faciem terrae; Dominus nomen est eius: |
| 9 | He that with a smile bringeth destruction upon the strong, and waste upon the mighty. | qui subridet vastitatem super robustum, et depopulationem super potentem affert. |
| 10 | They have hated him that rebuketh in the gate: and have abhorred him that speaketh perfectly. | Odio habuerunt corripientem in porta, et loquentem perfecte abominati sunt. |
| 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. | Idcirco, pro eo quod diripiebatis pauperem, et praedam electam tollebatis ab eo, domos quadro lapide aedificabitis, et non habitabitis in eis; vineas plantabis amantissimas, et non bibetis vinum earum. |
| 12 | Because I know your manifold crimes, and your grievous sins: enemies of the just, taking bribes, and oppressing the poor in the gate. | Quia cognovi multa scelera vestra, et fortia peccata vestra: hostes iusti, accipientes munus, et pauperes deprimentes in porta. |
| 13 | Therefore the prudent shall keep silence at that time, for it is an evil time. | Ideo prudens in tempore illo tacebit, quia tempus malum est. |
| 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. | Quaerite bonum, et non malum, ut vivatis; et erit Dominus Deus exercituum vobiscum, sicut dixistis. |
| 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. | Odite malum et diligite bonum, et constituite in porta iudicium: si forte misereatur Dominus Deus exercituum reliquiis Ioseph. |
| 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 skillful in lamentation to lament. | Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus exercituum, dominator: In omnibus plateis planctus; et in cunctis quae foris sunt, dicetur: Vae, vae! et vocabunt agricolam ad luctum, et ad planctum eos qui sciunt plangere. |
| 17 | And in all vineyards there shall be wailing: because I will pass through in the midst of thee, saith the Lord. | Et in omnibus vineis erit planctus, quia pertransibo in medio tui, dicit Dominus. |
| 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. | Vae desiderantibus diem Domini! ad quid eam vobis? Dies Domini ista, tenebrae, et non lux. |
| 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. | Quomodo si fugiat vir a facie leonis, et occurrat ei ursus; et ingrediatur domum, et innitatur manu sua super parietem, et mordeat eum coluber. |
| 20 | Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light: and obscurity, and no brightness in it? | Numquid non tenebrae dies Domini, et non lux; et caligo, et non splendor in ea? |
| 21 | I hate, and have rejected your festivities: and I will not receive the odour of your assemblies. | Odi, et proieci festivitates vestras, et non capiam odorem coetuum vestrorum. |
| 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. | Quod si obtuleritis mihi holocautomata, et munera vestra, non suscipiam; et vota pinguium vestrorum non respiciam. |
| 23 | Take away from me the tumult of thy songs: and I will not hear the canticles of thy harp. | Aufer a me tumultum carminum tuorum; et cantica lyrae tuae non audiam. |
| 24 | But judgment shall be revealed as water, and justice as a mighty torrent. | Et revelabitur quasi aqua iudicium, et iustitia quasi torrens fortis. |
| 25 | Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me in the desert for forty years, O house of Israel? | Numquid hostias et sacrificium obtulistis mihi in deserto quadraginta annis, domus Israël? |
| 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. | et portastis tabernaculum Moloch vestro, et imaginem idolorum vestrorum, sidus dei vestri, quae fecistis vobis. |
| 27 | And I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, the God of hosts is his name. | Et migrare vos faciam trans Damascum, dicit Dominus: Deus exercituum nomen eius. |
