Amos 9
1 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and He said: “Strike the tops of the pillars so that the thresholds shake. Topple them on the heads of all the people, and I will kill the rest with the sword. None of those who flee will get away; none of the fugitives will escape.
Ine ndinaona Ambuye atayima pambali pa guwa lansembe, ndipo anati: “Kantha mitu ya nsanamira kuti ziwundo za nyumba zigwedezeke. Muzigwetsere pa mitu ya anthu onse, onse amene atsalira ndidzawapha ndi lupanga. Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene adzathawe, palibe amene adzapulumuke.
2 Though they dig down to Sheol, from there My hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, from there I will pull them down. (Sheol h7585)
Ngakhale atakumba pansi mpaka ku malo a anthu akufa, dzanja langa lidzawatulutsa kumeneko. Ngakhale atakwera kumwamba Ine ndidzawatsakamutsa kumeneko. (Sheol h7585)
3 Though they hide themselves atop Carmel, there I will track them and seize them; and though they hide from Me at the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent to bite them.
Ngakhale atakabisala pamwamba pa phiri la Karimeli, Ine ndidzawasaka kumeneko ndi kuwagwira. Ngakhale atakabisala pansi pa nyanja yayikulu, ndidzalamula njoka kuti iwalume kumeneko.
4 Though they are driven by their enemies into captivity, there I will command the sword to slay them. I will fix My eyes upon them for harm and not for good.”
Ngakhale adani awo awakusire ku ukapolo, ndidzalamula lupanga kuti liwaphe kumeneko. Ndidzawayangʼanitsitsa kuti zoyipa ziwagwere; osati zabwino.”
5 The Lord GOD of Hosts, He who touches the earth and it melts, and all its dwellers mourn— all the land rises like the Nile, then sinks like the river of Egypt—
Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse amene amakhudza dziko lapansi ndipo dzikolo limasungunuka, onse amene amakhala mʼmenemo amalira. Dziko lonse lidzadzaza ngati mtsinje wa Nailo, kenaka nʼkuphwera ngati mtsinje wa ku Igupto.
6 He builds His upper rooms in the heavens and founds His vault upon the earth. He summons the waters of the sea and pours them over the face of the earth. The LORD is His name.
Iye amene amamanga malo ake okhalamo kumwamba, ndi kuyika maziko ake pa dziko lapansi, Iye amene amayitana madzi a ku nyanja ndikuwakhuthulira pa dziko lapansi, dzina lake ndiye Yehova.
7 “Are you not like the Cushites to Me, O children of Israel?” declares the LORD. “Did I not bring Israel up from the land of Egypt, the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans from Kir?
“Kodi kwa Ine, inu Aisraeli, simuli chimodzimodzi ndi Akusi?” Akutero Yehova. “Kodi sindine amene ndinatulutsa Israeli ku Igupto, Afilisti ku Kafitori ndi Aaramu ku Kiri?
8 Surely the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth. Yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”
“Taonani, maso a Ambuye Yehova ali pa ufumu wochimwawu. Ndidzawufafaniza pa dziko lapansi. Komabe sindidzawononga kotheratu nyumba ya Yakobo,” akutero Yehova.
9 “For surely I will give the command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations as grain is sifted in a sieve; but not a pebble will reach the ground.
“Pakuti ndidzalamula, ndipo ndidzagwedeza nyumba ya Israeli pakati pa mitundu yonse ya anthu monga momwe amasefera ufa mʼsefa, koma palibe nʼkamwala kamodzi komwe kamene kadzagwe pansi.
10 All the sinners among My people will die by the sword— all those who say, ‘Disaster will never draw near or confront us.’”
Anthu onse ochimwa pakati pa anthu anga adzaphedwa ndi lupanga, onse amene amanena kuti, ‘Tsoka silidzatigwera ife kapena kutiwononga.’
11 “In that day I will restore the fallen tent of David. I will repair its gaps, restore its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old,
“Tsiku limenelo ndidzabwezeretsa nyumba ya Davide imene inagwa. Ndidzakonzanso malo amene anagumuka, ndi kuyimanganso monga inalili poyamba,
12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations that bear My name,”
kuti adzatengenso otsala a Edomu ndi mitundu yonse imene imatchedwa ndi dzina langa,” akutero Yehova amene adzachita zinthu izi.
13 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when the plowman will overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes, the sower of seed. The mountains will drip with sweet wine, with which all the hills will flow.
Yehova akunena kuti “Nthawi ikubwera pamene mlimi wotipula adzapyola wokolola ndipo woponda mphesa adzapyola wodzala mbewu. Mapiri adzachucha vinyo watsopano ndi kuyenderera pa zitunda zonse.
14 I will restore My people Israel from captivity; they will rebuild and inhabit the ruined cities. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
Ndidzawabwezeranso pabwino anthu anga Aisraeli; mizinda imene inali mabwinja idzamangidwanso ndipo azidzakhalamo. Adzalima minda ya mpesa ndipo adzamwa vinyo wake; adzalima minda ndipo adzadya zipatso zake.
15 I will firmly plant them in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land that I have given them,”
Ndidzakhazika Aisraeli mʼdziko mwawo, ndipo sadzachotsedwamonso mʼdziko limene Ine ndawapatsa,” akutero Yehova Mulungu wako.
