Amos 9

1 Ne aneno Ruoth Nyasaye kochungʼ e bath kendo mar misango, mi owachona niya, “Muk sirni duto mag hekalu mondo agola oyiengni. Mukgi mondo gilwar ewi ji, to joma otony, to abiro tieko gi ligangla, kendo onge ngʼat ma noringi kata notony.

I have seen the Lord standing by the altar, and He saith: 'Smite the knob, and the thresholds shake, And cut them off by the head — all of them, And their posterity with a sword I do slay, Not flee to them doth the fleer, Nor escape to them doth a fugitive.

2 Kata dabed ni gikunyo bur matut mi gichopo nyaka e piny joma otho, to kata mana kuno abiro chopoe mi agolgi oko. Kata dabed ni giidho mi gichopo e polo, to kata kuno abiro chopoe mi aduog-gi piny. (Sheol h7585)

If they dig through into sheol, From thence doth My hand take them, And if they go up the heavens, From thence I cause them to come down. (Sheol h7585)

3 Kata dabed ni gipondo ewi got Karmel, to kata mana kuno anadwargi mi amakgi. To kata dabed ni gipondona e bwo nam piny, to kata mana kuno anachik thuol mikagi.

And if they be hid in the top of Carmel, From thence I search out, and have taken them, And if they be hid from Mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, From thence I command the serpent, And it hath bitten them.

4 Kata dabed ni wasikgi oterogi e twech, to kata mana kuno abiro oro ligangla mondo otiekgi. “Anachom wangʼa kuomgi mondo atimnegi marach to ok maber.”

And if they go into captivity before their enemies, From thence I command the sword, And it hath slain them, And I have set Mine eye on them for evil, And not for good.

5 Ruoth Nyasaye, ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma komulo piny, to piny leny, kendo ji duto modak e piny ywak. Piny duto tingʼore malo, bangʼe to opie ka aora Nael man Misri!

And [it is] the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Who is striking against the land, and it melteth, And mourned have all the inhabitants in it, And come up as a flood hath all of it, And it hath sunk — like the flood of Egypt.

6 Jehova Nyasaye gero ute e polo kendo orenjo mise mag polo e piny, bangʼe oluongo pi nam mondo obi kendo oologi e piny, Jehova Nyasaye e nyinge.

Who is building in the heavens His upper chambers; As to His troop, Upon earth He hath founded it, Who is calling for the waters of the sea, And poureth them out on the face of the land, Jehovah [is] His name.

7 “Donge jo-Israel chalo mana gi jo-Kush?” Jehova Nyasaye owacho. “Donge an ema ne agolo jo-Israel koa Misri, jo-Filistia koa Kaftor, kendo jo-Aram koa Kir?

As sons of Cushim are ye not to Me? O sons of Israel — an affirmation of Jehovah. Israel did I not bring up out of the land of Egypt? And the Philistines from Caphtor, and Aram from Kir?

8 “Adier wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto rango pinyruoth motimo richo. Abiro ketho pinyruodhno e wangʼ piny, to kata kamano, ok anatiek joka Jakobo duto,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.

Lo, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah [are] on the sinful kingdom, And I have destroyed it from off the face of the ground, Only, I destroy not utterly the house of Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah.

9 “Anagol chik kendo abiro piedho jo-Israel, e kind ogendini duto, ka cham mipiedho e odheru, kendo kata wangʼ cham achiel ok nolwar piny.

For lo, I am commanding, And I have shaken among all the nations the house of Israel, As [one] doth shake with a sieve, And there falleth not a grain [to] the earth.

10 Joga duto ma joketho ibiro nego gi ligangla, kata mana mago mawacho ni, ‘Masira ok noyudwa kata chopo kuomwa.’

By sword die do all sinners of My people, Who are saying, 'Not overtake, or go before, For our sakes, doth evil.'

11 “Chiengʼno anachung od Daudi mosepodho. Analos ohingane kod kuondene momukore duto. Anachak agere mi ochal kaka, ne entie chon,

In that day I raise the tabernacle of David, that is fallen, And I have repaired their breaches, And its ruins I do raise up, And I have built it up as in days of old.

12 mondo jo-Israel okaw jo-Edom modongʼ kaka margi kod ogendini mamoko maluongo nyinga,” Jehova Nyasaye mabiro miyo gima kamano timore ema owacho.

So that they possess the remnant of Edom, And all the nations on whom My name is called, An affirmation of Jehovah — doer of this.

13 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ndalo biro ma cham biro bedo mangʼeny, ibiro golo pur ka ji pod keyo, kendo mzabibu nonyagi mathoth, kendo gibiro keto kodhi ka ji pod loso divai. Yiend mzabibu mangʼeny maber nonyag mathoth e gode duto mi unubed gi divai mangʼeny.

Lo, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah, And come nigh hath the ploughman to the reaper, And the treader of grapes to the scatterer of seed, And the mountains have dropped juice, And all the hills do melt.

14 Bangʼe abiro miyo joga Israel duogi. “Kendo gibiro gero miechgi mane olokore gundni ma ginidagie, eka gibiro pidho yiend mzabibu, kendo madho divai mare. Gibiro puro puothegi, kendo chamo nyak margi.

And I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel, And they have built desolate cities, and inhabited, And have planted vineyards, and drunk their wine, And made gardens, and eaten their fruit.

15 Abiro guro jo-Israel e pinygi mane amiyogi, kendo onge ngʼama nochak ogolgi kendo,” Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi owacho.

And I have planted them on their own ground, And they are not plucked up any more from off their own ground, That I have given to them, said Jehovah thy God!
