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.
Ndakaona Jehovha amire parutivi rwearitari, uye akati, “Rova misoro yembiru kuti zvikumbaridzo zvizunguzike. Zviputsire pasi pamisoro yevanhu vose; avo vachasara ndichavauraya nomunondo. Hapana kana mumwe chete achatiza, hapana achapunyuka.
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 h7585)
Kunyange vakachera kusvikira panoperera guva, kubva imomo ruoko rwangu ruchavatora. Kunyange vakakwira kumatenga, kubva ikoko ndichavadzikisa pasi. (Sheol h7585)
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.
Kunyange vakazvivanza pamusoro peKarimeri, ipapo ndichavavhima ndigovabata. Kunyange vakahwanda kubva kwandiri pasi pegungwa, ipapo ndicharayira nyoka kuti ivarume.
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.
Kunyange vakaendeswa kuutapwa navavengi vavo, ikoko ndicharayira munondo kuti uvaparadze. Ndichananʼanidza meso angu pavari kuti ndivaitire zvakaipa, kwete zvakanaka.”
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.
Ishe, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, iye anobata nyika igonyungudika, navose vagere mairi vagochema, nyika yose inozara seNairi, uye igoderera serwizi rweIjipiti,
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!
iye anovaka muzinda wake kumatenga agomisa hwaro hwawo panyika, anodana mvura dzegungwa agodzidururira pamusoro penyika, Jehovha ndiro zita rake.
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.
“Nhai imi vaIsraeri, ko, hamusi kwandiri vamwe chete savaEtiopia here?” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Handina kubudisa Israeri kubva kuIjipiti here, vaFiristia kubva kuKafitori navaAramu kubva kuKiri?
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.
“Zvirokwazvo meso aIshe Jehovha ari paumambo hunotadza. Ndichahuparadza kubva pamusoro penyika, asi handingaparadzi zvachose imba yaJakobho,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
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.
“Nokuti ndicharayira, uye ndichazunguza imba yaIsraeri pakati pendudzi dzose, sokuzunguzwa kunoitwa zviyo murusero, uye hapana kana tsanga imwe chete ichawira pasi.
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.”
Vatadzi vose pakati pavanhu vangu vachafa nomunondo, vose vanoti, ‘Njodzi haingatiwiri kana kusangana nesu.’
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.
“Pazuva iro ndichamisazve tende raDhavhidhi rakawa. Ndichavakazve nzvimbo dzaro dzakaputsika, ndigovakazve matongo aro, uye ndicharivaka sezvarakanga rakaita,
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.
kuti vazvitorere zvakasara zvaEdhomu nendudzi dzose dzine zita rangu,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, iye achaita zvinhu izvi.
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.
“Mazuva ari kuuya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “mucheki paachapfuurwa nomurimi, uye mudyari paachapfuurwa neanosvina mazambiringa. Waini itsva ichadonha kubva kumakomo, uye ichayerera kubva pazvikomo zvose.
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.
Ndichadzosazve vanhu vangu vakatapwa, ivo vaIsraeri; vachavakazve maguta akaitwa matongo uye vachagara maari. Vachasima minda yemizambiringa vagonwa waini yayo. Vacharima mapindu uye vachadya zvibereko zvawo.
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.
Ndichasima Israeri munyika yavo voga, havangazodzurwizve kubva panyika yandakavapa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Mwari wako.
