| [1]The Lord God schewide to me these thingis; and lo! an hook of applis. |
[1]Thus hath the LordH136 GODH3069 shewedH7200[H8689] unto me: and behold a basketH3619 of summer fruitH7019. |
| [2]And the Lord seide, What seist thou, Amos? And Y seide, An hook of applis. And the Lord seide to me, The ende is comun on my puple Israel; Y schal no more putte to, that Y passe bi hym. |
[2]And he saidH559[H8799], AmosH5986, what seestH7200[H8802] thou? And I saidH559[H8799], A basketH3619 of summer fruitH7019. Then saidH559[H8799] the LORDH3068 unto me, The endH7093 is comeH935[H8804] upon my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478; I will not againH3254[H8686] passH5674 by them any moreH8800. |
| [3]And the herris, ether twistis, of the temple schulen greetli sowne in that dai, seith the Lord God. Many men schulen die, silence schal be cast forth in ech place. |
[3]And the songsH7892 of the templeH1964 shall be howlingsH3213[H8689] in that dayH3117, saithH5002[H8803] the LordH136 GODH3069: there shall be manyH7227 dead bodiesH6297 in every placeH4725; they shall cast them forthH7993[H8689] with silenceH2013.[H8761] |
| [4]Here ye this thing, whiche al to-breken a pore man, and maken nedi men of the lond for to faile; |
[4]HearH8085[H8798] this, O ye that swallow upH7602[H8802] the needyH34, even to makeH7673 the poorH6041[H8675][H6035] of the landH776 H7673to failH8687 |
| [5]and ye seien, Whanne schal heruest passe, and we schulen sille marchaundises? and the sabat, and we schulen opene wheete? that we make lesse the mesure, and encreesse the cicle, and `vndur put gileful balauncis; |
[5]SayingH559[H8800], When will the new moonH2320 be goneH5674[H8799], that we may sellH7666[H8686] cornH7668? and the sabbathH7676, that we may set forthH6605[H8799] wheatH1250, making the ephahH374 smallH6994[H8687], and the shekelH8255 greatH1431[H8687], and falsifyingH5791[H8763] the balancesH3976 by deceitH4820? |
| [6]that we welde bi siluer nedi men and pore men for schoon, and we sille outcastyngis of wheete? |
[6]That we may buyH7069[H8800] the poorH1800 for silverH3701, and the needyH34 for a pair of shoesH5275; yea, and sellH7666[H8686] the refuseH4651 of the wheatH1250? |
| [7]The Lord swoor ayens the pride of Jacob, Y schal not foryete til to the ende alle the werkis of hem. |
[7]The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650[H8738] by the excellencyH1347 of JacobH3290, Surely I will neverH5331 forgetH7911[H8799] any of their worksH4639. |
| [8]Whether on this thing the erthe schal not be mouyd togidere, and eche dwellere therof schal mourene? And it schal stie vp as al the flood, and schal be cast out, and schal flete awei as the stronde of Egipt. |
[8]Shall not the landH776 trembleH7264[H8799] for this, and every one mournH56[H8804] that dwellethH3427[H8802] therein? and it shall rise upH5927[H8804] wholly as a floodH2975; and it shall be cast outH1644[H8738] and drownedH8257[H8738][H8675][H8248][H8738], as by the floodH216 of EgyptH4714. |
| [9]And it schal be, seith the Lord, in that dai the sunne schal go doun in myddai, and Y schal make the erthe for to be derk in the dai of liyt. |
[9]And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, saithH5002[H8803] the LordH136 GODH3069, that I will cause the sunH8121 to go downH935[H8689] at noonH6672, and I will darkenH2821[H8689] the earthH776 in the clearH216 dayH3117: |
| [10]And Y schal conuerte youre feeste daies in to mourenyng, and alle youre songis in to weilyng; and Y schal brynge yn on ech bac of you a sak, and on ech heed of you ballidnesse; and Y schal put it as the mourenyng of oon bigetun sone, and the laste thingis therof as a bittir dai. |
[10]And I will turnH2015[H8804] your feastsH2282 into mourningH60, and all your songsH7892 into lamentationH7015; and I will bring upH5927[H8689] sackclothH8242 upon all loinsH4975, and baldnessH7144 upon every headH7218; and I will makeH7760[H8804] it as the mourningH60 of an onlyH3173 son, and the endH319 thereof as a bitterH4751 dayH3117. |
| [11]Lo! the daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal sende out hungur in to erthe; not hungur of breed, nether thirst of watir, but of herynge the word of God. |
[11]Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935[H8802], saithH5002[H8803] the LordH136 GODH3069, that I will sendH7971[H8689] a famineH7458 in the landH776, not a famineH7458 of breadH3899, nor a thirstH6772 for waterH4325, but of hearingH8085[H8800] the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068: |
| [12]And thei schulen be mouyd to gidere fro the see til to the see, and fro the north til to the eest thei schulen cumpasse, sekynge the word of the Lord, and thei schulen not fynde. |
[12]And they shall wanderH5128[H8804] from seaH3220 to seaH3220, and from the northH6828 even to the eastH4217, they shall run to and froH7751[H8787] to seekH1245[H8763] the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and shall not findH4672 itH8799. |
| [13]In that dai faire maidens schulen faile, and yonge men in thirst, whiche sweren in trespas of Samarie, |
[13]In that dayH3117 shall the fairH3303 virginsH1330 and young menH970 faintH5968[H8691] for thirstH6772. |
| [14]and seien, Dan, thi god lyueth, and the weie of Bersabee lyueth; and thei schulen falle, and thei schulen no more rise ayen. |
[14]They that swearH7650[H8737] by the sinH819 of SamariaH8111, and sayH559[H8804], Thy godH430, O DanH1835, livethH2416; and, The mannerH1870 of BeershebaH884 livethH2416; even they shall fallH5307[H8804], and never rise upH6965 againH8799. |
