Amos 9
1 I saw the Lord standing upon the altar, and he said: Strike the hinges, and let the lintels be shook: for there is covetousness in the head of them all, and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there shall be no flight for them: they shall flee, and he that shall flee of them shall not be delivered.

2 Though they go down even to hell, thence shall my hand bring them out: and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)
Ọ bụrụ na ha egwuo ala ruo nʼala mmụọ, site nʼebe ahụ ka aka m ga-esi dọlie ha, ọ bụrụkwa na ha arịgoruo ime eluigwe, site nʼebe ahụ ka m ga-esi wedata ha nʼala. (Sheol h7585)
3 And though they be hid in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them away from thence: and though they hide themselves from my eyes in the depth of the sea, there will I command the serpent and he shall bite them.
Ọ bụrụkwa na ha ezoo onwe ha nʼelu Kamel nʼebe ahụ ka m ga-esi chọpụta ha, kpụrụ ha, a sịkwa na ha ezoo onwe ha nʼala oke osimiri, nʼebe ahụ ka m ga-enye ajụala nke mmiri iwu ka ọ taa ha.
4 And if they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall kill them. And I will set my eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
Ọ bụrụ na a dọta ha nʼagha mee ka ha gaa biri nʼala ndị mba ọzọ, nʼebe ahụ aga m enye mma agha iwu ka o gbuo ha. “Aga m elekwasị ha anya m abụọ nʼihi ime ha ihe ọjọọ, ọ bụghị ihe ọma.”
5 And the Lord the God of hosts is he who toucheth the earth, and it shall melt: and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up as a river, and shall run down as the river of Egypt.
Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, onye na-emetụ ala aka mee ka ọ gbazee, ime ka ndị niile bi nʼala ruo ụjụ; ala ya niile bilie na-ebili dịka mmiri nke osimiri Naịl, nke na-emesịakwa dajụọ dịka mmiri Ijipt.
6 He that buildeth his ascension in heaven, and hath founded his bundle upon the earth: who calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth, the Lord is his name.
Onye na-ewu ụlọ elu ya nʼeluigwe niile, na-eme ka ntọala ya dị nʼụwa. Onye na-akpọ mmiri nke osimiri oku, ma na-awụsa ha nʼala, aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị.
7 Are not you as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel, saith the Lord? did not I bring up Israel, out of the land of Egypt: and the Philistines out of Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of Cyrene?
“Ọ bụ na unu ndị Izrel adịghị ka ndị Kush nʼebe m nọ?” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. “Ọ bụ na-esighị m nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta Izrel, site na Kafto kpọpụta ndị Filistia, ma kpọpụtakwa ndị Aram site na Kia?
8 Behold the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth: but yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.
“Nʼezie, anya Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị dịkwasịrị nʼahụ alaeze ahụ nke na-emehie. Aghaghị m ịla ya nʼiyi, kpochapụ ya site nʼelu ụwa, naanị na m agaghị ebibicha ụlọ Jekọb kpamkpam.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
9 For behold I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, as corn is sifted in a sieve: and there shall not a little stone fall to the ground.
“Ma lee, mụ onwe m gaje inye iwu, aga m ayọgharị ụlọ Izrel nʼetiti mba niile dịka e si ayọgharị ọka nʼime nyọ, ma ọ dịghị otu mkpụrụ ọka nʼime ya nke ga-ada nʼala.
10 All the sinners of my people shall fall by the sword: who say: The evils shall not approach, and shall not come upon us.
Ma ndị mmehie ahụ niile nọ nʼetiti ndị m, ndị ahụ na-asị, ‘Mbibi agaghị erute anyị, anyị agaghị ezute ya, aghaghị ịnwụ site na mma agha.’
11 In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, that is fallen: and I will close up the breaches of the walls thereof, and repair what was fallen: and I will rebuild it as in the days of old.
“Nʼụbọchị ahụ, “aga m emekwa ka ụlọ ikwu Devid dara ada guzoziekwa. Aga m emezi akụkụ ya niile gbajiri agbaji, mee ka akụkụ ya niile dakpọsịrị adakpọsị guzozie dịka ọ dị na mbụ. Aga m ewugharịkwa ya, mee ka ọ dịrị ka ọ dị na mbụ.

13 Behold the days come, saith the Lord, when the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed: and the mountains shall drop sweetness, and every hill shall be tilled.
“Ụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, “Mgbe onye na-akọ ubi ga-agafe onye na-ewe ihe ubi, onye na-agha mkpụrụ ka onye na-azọcha mkpụrụ vaịnị ga-agafekwa. Mmanya ọhụrụ ga-esitekwa nʼelu ugwu na-atapụta, ọ ga-esitekwa nʼugwu nta niile na-asọpụta.
14 And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel: and they shall build the abandoned cities, and inhabit them: and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of them: and shall make gardens, and eat the fruits of them.
Aga m emekwa ka ndị m bụ Izrel site nʼobodo a dọtara ha nʼagha lọta. “Ha ga-ewugharị obodo niile tọgbọrọ nʼefu, birikwa nʼime ha. Ha ga-akụ ubi vaịnị a gbara ogige, ṅụọkwa mmanya si na ya. Ha ga-arụkwa ubi a gbara ogige, riekwa mkpụrụ si na ya.
15 And I will plant them upon their own land: and I will no more pluck them out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
