English Standard Version ESV
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Hear this word that the Lord has spoken against you, O people of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt:
1
audite verbum quod locutus est Dominus super vos filii Israhel super omni cognatione quam eduxi de terra Aegypti dicens
2 “You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
2
tantummodo vos cognovi ex omnibus cognationibus terrae idcirco visitabo super vos omnes iniquitates vestras
3 “Do two walk together, unless they have agreed to meet?
3
numquid ambulabunt duo pariter nisi convenerit eis
4 Does a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out from his den, if he has taken nothing?
4
numquid rugiet leo in saltu nisi habuerit praedam numquid dabit catulus leonis vocem de cubili suo nisi aliquid adprehenderit
5 Does a bird fall in a snare on the earth, when there is no trap for it? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when it has taken nothing?
5
numquid cadet avis in laqueum terrae absque aucupe numquid auferetur laqueus de terra antequam quid ceperit
6 Is a trumpet blown in a city, and the people are not afraid? Does disaster come to a city, unless the Lord has done it?
6
si clanget tuba in civitate et populus non expavescet si erit malum in civitate quod Dominus non fecit
7 “For the Lord God does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets.
7
quia non faciet Dominus Deus verbum nisi revelaverit secretum suum ad servos suos prophetas
8 The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who can but prophesy? ”
8
leo rugiet quis non timebit Dominus Deus locutus est quis non prophetabit
9 Proclaim to the strongholds in Ashdod and to the strongholds in the land of Egypt, and say, “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria, and see the great tumults within her, and the oppressed in her midst. ”
9
auditum facite in aedibus Azoti et in aedibus terrae Aegypti et dicite congregamini super montes Samariae et videte insanias multas in medio eius et calumniam patientes in penetrabilibus eius
10 “They do not know how to do right, ” declares the Lord, “those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds. ”
10
et nescierunt facere rectum dicit Dominus thesaurizantes iniquitatem et rapinas in aedibus suis
11 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “An adversary shall surround the land and bring down your defenses from you, and your strongholds shall be plundered. ”
11
propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus tribulabitur et circumietur terra et detrahetur ex te fortitudo tua et diripientur aedes tuae
12 Thus says the Lord: “As the shepherd rescues from the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the people of Israel who dwell in Samaria be rescued, with the corner of a couch and part of a bed.
12
haec dicit Dominus quomodo si eruat pastor de ore leonis duo crura aut extremum auriculae sic eruentur filii Israhel qui habitant in Samaria in plaga lectuli et in Damasco grabatti
13 “Hear, and testify against the house of Jacob, ”declares the Lord God, the God of hosts,
13
audite et contestamini in domo Iacob dicit Dominus Deus exercituum
14 “that on the day I punish Israel for his transgressions, I will punish the altars of Bethel, and the horns of the altar shall be cut off and fall to the ground.
14
quia in die cum visitare coepero praevaricationes Israhel super eum visitabo et super altaria Bethel et amputabuntur cornua altaris et cadent in terram
15 I will strike the winter house along with the summer house, and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall come to an end, ”declares the Lord.
15
et percutiam domum hiemalem cum domo aestiva et peribunt domus eburneae et dissipabuntur aedes multae dicit Dominus
