The Latin Vulgate VUL
Revised Standard Version RSV
1 haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus et ecce uncinus pomorum
1 Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.
2 et dixit quid tu vides Amos et dixi uncinum pomorum et dixit Dominus ad me venit finis super populum meum Israhel non adiciam ultra ut pertranseam eum
2 And he said, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the LORD said to me, "The end has come upon my people Israel; I will never again pass by them.
3 et stridebunt cardines templi in die illa dicit Dominus Deus multi morientur in omni loco proicietur silentium
3 The songs of the temple shall become wailings in that day," says the Lord GOD; "the dead bodies shall be many; in every place they shall be cast out in silence."
4 audite hoc qui conteritis pauperem et deficere facitis egenos terrae
4 Hear this, you who trample upon the needy, and bring the poor of the land to an end,
5 dicentes quando transibit mensis et venundabimus merces et sabbatum et aperiemus frumentum ut inminuamus mensuram et augeamus siclum et subponamus stateras dolosas
5 saying, "When will the new moon be over, that we may sell grain? And the sabbath, that we may offer wheat for sale, that we may make the ephah small and the shekel great, and deal deceitfully with false balances,
6 ut possideamus in argento egenos et pauperes pro calciamentis et quisquilias frumenti vendamus
6 that we may buy the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, and sell the refuse of the wheat?"
7 iuravit Dominus in superbia Iacob si oblitus fuero usque ad finem omnia opera eorum
7 The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob: "Surely I will never forget any of their deeds.
8 numquid super isto non commovebitur terra et lugebit omnis habitator eius et ascendet quasi fluvius universus et eicietur et defluet quasi rivus Aegypti
8 Shall not the land tremble on this account, and every one mourn who dwells in it, and all of it rise like the Nile, and be tossed about and sink again, like the Nile of Egypt?"
9 et erit in die illa dicit Dominus occidet sol meridie et tenebrescere faciam terram in die luminis
9 "And on that day," says the Lord GOD, "I will make the sun go down at noon, and darken the earth in broad daylight.
10 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
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness on every head; I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.
11 ecce dies veniunt dicit Dominus et mittam famem in terram non famem panis neque sitim aquae sed audiendi verbum Domini
11 "Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord GOD, "when I will send a famine on the land; not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.
12 et commovebuntur a mari usque ad mare et ab aquilone usque ad orientem circumibunt quaerentes verbum Domini et non invenient
12 They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the LORD, but they shall not find it.
13 in die illa deficient virgines pulchrae et adulescentes in siti
13 "In that day the fair virgins and the young men shall faint for thirst.
14 qui iurant in delicto Samariae et dicunt vivit deus tuus Dan et vivit via Bersabee et cadent et non resurgent ultra
14 Those who swear by Ash'imah of Sama'ria, and say, 'As thy god lives, O Dan,' and, 'As the way of Beer-sheba lives,' they shall fall, and never rise again."
