< Amos 9 >
1 Then I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said: Strike the tops of the Temple pillars so that the foundations shake, and shatter them on the heads of all the people below. Those who survive I will kill by the sword. None of them will escape, not a single one.
Nga liye LEUM GOD El tu sisken loang uh. El sap, “Liksreni puok sifen sru in Tempul tuh pwelung uh fah kusrusryak, ac acn lucng musalsalu ac raki nu fin sifen mwet uh. Nga fah onela mwet lula nukewa ke mweun. Wangin sie selos ac fah moulla, tia siefanna ac fah kaingla.
2 Even if they dig down into Sheol, I will catch them and pull them up. Even if they climb up to heaven, I will bring them down. (Sheol )
Elos finne pikin nu ten in oatui nu ke facl lun mwet misa, nga ac fah sruokolosi. Elos finne fanyak nu inkusrao, nga ac fah tulakunulosi nu ten. (Sheol )
3 Even if they hide themselves at the top of Mount Carmel, I will search for them and catch them. Even if they hide from me at the bottom of the sea, I will command the sea serpent to bite them.
Elos fin wikla fin mangon Eol Carmel, nga ac fah sokolos ac sruokolosi. Elos fin wikla likiyu oe yen loal meoa, nga ac fah sap tuh ma sulallal in meoa in ngalselosi.
4 Even if they are driven into exile by their enemies, I will order them put to death by the sword. I will watch them carefully—and for evil, not for good.
Mwet lokoalok lalos fin usalosla nu in sruoh, nga ac fah sap in anwuki mwet sruoh ingan. Nga wotela tari in kunauselosla, ac tia kasrelos.”
5 The Lord God of power touches the earth and it melts, and all who live there mourn. The earth rises up like the Nile river in flood, and then falls again.
LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana El kahlye faclu Ac faclu kusrusryak. Mwet nukewa su muta we elos asor. Faclu nufon ac fah mutyak ac putati oana Infacl Nile.
6 The Lord builds his upper rooms in heaven, and places the foundations on the earth. He calls for the water of the seas, and pours it down as rain upon the earth—the Lord is his name!
LEUM GOD El musai acn sel inkusrao, Ac oru tuh acn engyeng uh in sunya faclu. El eis kof liki fin meoa uh Ac okoala nu fin faclu. Inel pa LEUM GOD!
7 Aren't the Ethiopians as important to me as you, people of Israel? asks the Lord. Yes, I brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt, but I also brought the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Israel, nga saokkin mwet Ethiopia oana ke nga sekoekowos. Nga use mwet Philistia liki acn Crete, ac mwet Syria liki acn Kir, oana ke nga tuh uskowosme liki acn Egypt.
8 Watch out! I'm watching this sinful kingdom. I will eradicate it from the face of the earth. Yet I will not completely destroy the descendants of Jacob.
Nga, LEUM GOD Fulat, nga suiya tokosrai koluk se lun Israel inge, ac nga fah sukela liki faclu. Tusruktu nga fah tia kunausla nukewa mwet in fwil natul Jacob.
9 See what I'm doing! I will give the command, and the people of Israel will be shaken among the nations like flour through a sieve, and nothing will fall to the ground.
“Nga fah sapkin in likliki mwet Israel oana ke mwet uh likliki puk. Nga fah osrokolosyak inmasrlon mutunfacl uh in srela mwet wangin sripa.
10 All the sinners of my people will be killed by the sword—all those who say, “Nothing bad is going to happen; no disaster will fall on us.”
Mwet koluk inmasrlon mwet luk fah anwuki ke mweun — elos nukewa su fahk, ‘God El fah tia lela kutena mwe ongoiya in tuku nu facsr.’”
11 On that day I will restore the fallen kingdom of David; I will repair the broken walls, I will rebuild the ruins, and I will make it as it was in days of old.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Len se ac fah tuku ke nga ac fah sifil folokonak tokosrai lal David, su oana sie lohm ma ikori ac sruala. Nga fah tulokunak ac aksasuyela sinka kac. Nga fah sifilpa musaela ac orala tuh in oana pacl meet ah.
12 And they will possess what is left of Edom and all the nations that were once mine, declares the Lord. He will make this happen.
Ouinge mwet Israel fah kutangla acn nukewa lula ke facl lun mwet Edom, oayapa mutunfacl nukewa su tuh ma luk meet. LEUM GOD El fahk ouinge, ac El ac fah oru oana ke El fahk.
13 Look! The time is coming, says the Lord, when the reaper will overtake the plowman, and the one who treads the grapes will overtake the one who sows the seed. The mountains will drip with sweet wine, and flow from all the hills.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “In kutu len fahsru, Matula lun wheat uh ac pisrpisr liki mwet kosrani, Ac kap lun grape uh fah sa liki na in orekla nu ke wain. Sronin grape uh ac fah sororla fineol ma kapak we, Ac kahkla pe eol uh.
14 I will bring my people back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and they shall live in them. They shall plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will plant gardens and eat the fruit they produce.
Nga ac fah folokonma mwet luk nu in acn selos. Elos fah sifil musai siti selos ma musalla, ac muta we. Elos ac yukwi ima in grape ac nim wain kac. Elos ac yukwi ima srisrik lalos ac kang fahko kac.
15 I will plant them in their own land, and they shall never be uprooted again from the land I have given them, declares the Lord your God.
Nga fah yukwiya mwet luk fin acn ma nga tuh sang selos, Ac elos fah tia sifilpa fifyak.” LEUM GOD lom pa fahk ouinge.
