| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | These things the Lord shewed to me: and behold a hook to draw down the fruit. | Haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: et ecce uncinus pomorum. |
| 2 | And he said: What seest thou, Amos? And I said: A hook to draw down fruit. And the Lord said to me: The end is come upon my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more. | Et dixit: Quid tu vides, Amos? Et dixi: Uncinum pomorum. Et dixit Dominus ad me: Venit finis super populum meum Israël; non adiiciam ultra ut pertranseam eum. |
| 3 | And the hinges of the temple shall screak in that day, saith the Lord God: many shall die: silence shall be cast in every place. | Et stridebunt cardines templi in die illa, dicit Dominus Deus: multi morientur; in omni loco proiicietur silentium. |
| 4 | Hear this, you that crush the poor, and make the needy of the land to fail, | Audite hoc, qui conteritis pauperem, et deficere facitis egenos terrae, |
| 5 | Saying: When will the month be over, and we shall sell our wares: and the sabbath, and we shall open the corn: that we may lessen the measure, and increase the sicle, and may convey in deceitful balances, | dicentes: Quando transibit mensis, et venundabimus merces? et sabbatum, et aperiemus frumentum, ut imminuamus mensuram, et augeamus siclum, et supponamus stateras dolosas, |
| 6 | That we may possess the needy for money, and the poor for a pair of shoes, and may sell the refuse of the corn? | ut possideamus in argento egenos et pauperes pro calceamentis, et quisquilias frumenti vendamus? |
| 7 | The Lord hath sworn against the pride of Jacob: surely I will never forget all their works. | Iuravit Dominus in superbiam Iacob: Si oblitus fuero usque ad finem omnia opera eorum. |
| 8 | Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein: and rise up altogether as a river, and be cast out, and run down as the river of Egypt? | Numquid super isto non commovebitur terra, et lugebit omnis habitator eius, et ascendet quasi fluvius universus, et eiicicetur, et defluet, quasi rivus Aegypti? |
| 9 | And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that the sun shall go down at midday, and I will make the earth dark in the day of light: | Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus Deus: occidet sol in meridie, et tenebrescere faciam terram in die luminis: |
| 10 | And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation: and I will bring up sackcloth upon every back of yours, and baldness upon every head: and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the latter end thereof as a bitter day. | et convertam festivitates vestras in luctum, et omnia cantica vestra in planctum, et inducam super omne dorsum vestrum saccum, et super omne caput calvitium: et ponam eam quasi luctum unigeniti, et novissima eius quasi diem amarum. |
| 11 | Behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will send forth a famine into the land: not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, but of hearing the word of the Lord. | Ecce dies veniunt, dicet Dominus, et mittam famem in terram: non famem panis, neque sitim aquae, sed audiendi verbum Domini. |
| 12 | And they shall move from sea to sea, and from the north to the east: they shall go about seeking the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. | Et commovebuntur a mari usque ad mare, et ab aquilone usque ad orientem: circuibunt quaerentes verbum Domini, et non invenient. |
| 13 | In that day the fair virgins, and the young men shall faint for thirst. | In die illa deficient virgines pulchrae et adolescentes in siti, |
| 14 | They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say: Thy God, O Dan, liveth: and the way of Bersabee liveth: and they shall fall, and shall rise no more. | qui iurant in delicto Samariae, et dicunt: Vivit Deus tuus, Dan, et vivit via Bersabee; et cadent, et non resurgent ultra. |
