Amos 9

1 I sawe the Lord standing vpon the altar, and he sayde, Smite the lintel of the doore, that the postes may shake: and cut them in pieces, euen the heads of them all, and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them, shall not flee away: and he that escapeth of them, shall not be deliuered.

Mihuu Awurade sɛ ogyina afɔremuka no ho, na ɔkae se, “Bɔ Asɔredan no afadum no atifi na mma ne fapem no nwosow. Munnwiriw ngu nnipa no nyinaa so; wɔn a aka no mede afoa bekunkum wɔn. Ɔbaako mpo rentumi nguan, obiara rennya ne ho sɔnn.

2 Though they digge into the hell, thence shall mine hande take them: though they clime vp to heauen, thence will I bring them downe. (Sheol h7585)

Mpo sɛ wotu fam kɔ ɔda mu a, hɔ na me nsa bɛtwe wɔn afi aba. Mpo sɛ wɔforo kɔ ɔsoro a, hɔ na meyi wɔn afi aba fam. (Sheol h7585)

3 And though they hide them selues in the toppe of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence: and though they be hid from my sight in the bottome of the sea, thence will I commande the serpent, and he shall bite them.

Mpo sɛ wɔkɔtetɛw bepɔw Karmel atifi a, hɔ na metiw wɔn akɔkyere wɔn aba. Mpo sɛ wɔde wɔn ho sie me wɔ po ase a, hɔ na mɛhyɛ ɔwɔ no ama wakɔkeka wɔn.

4 And though they goe into captiuitie before their enemies, thence wil I commande the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes vpon them for euill, and not for good.

Mpo sɛ wɔn atamfo de wɔn kɔ nnommum mu a, hɔ na mɛhyɛ afoa akunkum wɔn. “Megyen mʼani ahwɛ wɔn. Mede ɔsɛe bɛba wɔn so na meremmoa wɔn.”

5 And the Lord God of hosts shall touch the land, and it shall melt away, and al that dwel therein shall mourne, and it shall rise vp wholy like a flood, and shall bee drowned as by the flood of Egypt.

Awurade, Asafo Awurade, Ɔno na ɔde ne nsa ka asase ma ɛnan, ma wɔn a wɔte so nyinaa twa adwo. Asase no nyinaa ma ne ho so te sɛ Nil na ɛtwe te sɛ Misraim asubɔnten.

6 He buildeth his spheres in the heauen, and hath laide the foundation of his globe of elements in the earth: hee calleth the waters of the sea, and powreth them out vpon the open earth: the Lord is his Name.

Ɔno na osi nʼahemfi a ɛkorɔn wɔ ɔsoro na ɔto ne fapem wɔ asase so. Ɔno na ɔboaboa po mu nsu ano na ohwie gu asase so. Awurade ne ne din!

7 Are ye not as the Ethiopians vnto mee, O children of Israel, sayeth the Lord? haue not I brought vp Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistims from Caphtor, and Aram from Kir?

“Mo Israelfo, mo ho hia me sen Etiopiafo?” Sɛnea Awurade se ni. Manyi Israelfo amfi Misraim, ne Filistifo amfi Kaftor, ne Aramfo nso amfi Kir ana?

8 Beholde, the eyes of the Lord God are vpon the sinfull kingdome, and I will destroy it cleane out of the earth. Neuerthelesse I will not vtterly destroy the house of Iaakob, saith the Lord.

“Ampa ara Otumfo Awurade ani wɔ nnebɔne ahenni no so. Mɛpepa no afi asase ani, nanso merensɛe Yakobfi korakora,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.

9 For loe, I will command and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corne is sifted in a sieue: yet shall not the least stone fall vpon the earth.

“Na mɛhyɛ, na mɛwosow Israelfi, wɔ amanaman nyinaa mu, sɛnea wohuhuw atoko so wɔ huhuamoa mu na aba fua mpo ntɔ fam no.

10 But all the sinners of my people shall dye by the sword, which say, The euill shall not come, nor hasten for vs.

Nnebɔneyɛfo a wɔwɔ me nkurɔfo mu nyinaa bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano, wɔn a wɔka se, ‘Amanehunu rento yɛn anaa ɛremma yɛn so da no.’

11 In that day will I raise vp the tabernacle of Dauid, that is fallen downe, and close vp the breaches therof, and I will rayse vp his ruines, and I will builde it, as in the dayes of olde,

“Saa da no, mɛsan aba abesi “Dawid fi a abubu no bio. Mesiesie ne mmeae a asɛesɛe no, na masi no sɛnea na ɛte no,

12 That they may possesse the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, because my Name is called vpon them, sayeth the Lord, that doeth this.

na wɔafa Edom nkae no ne amanaman a me din da wɔn so.” Awurade a waka no, ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ eyinom nyinaa.

13 Behold, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall touche the mower, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seede: and the mountaines shall drop sweete wine, and all the hilles shall melt.

“Nna no reba,” sɛnea Awurade se ni, “A nnɔbae no bɛba ntɛm ama otwafo no, na bobe no abu so ama nea otiatia nsakyiamoa no so no. Nsa foforo bɛsosɔ afi mmepɔw no so na ateɛ afi nkoko no nyinaa so.

14 And I will bring againe the captiuitie of my people of Israel: and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabite the, and they shall plant vineyardes, and drinke the wine thereof: they shall also make gardens, and eate the fruites of them.

Mede me nkurɔfo Israel nnommum bɛsan aba. “Wɔbɛsan asiesie nkuropɔn a asɛe no na wɔatena mu. Wɔbɛyɛ bobe nturo na wɔanom mu nsa; wɔbɛyɛ mfikyifuw na wɔadi so nnuaba.

15 And I wil plant them vpon their land, and they shall no more bee pulled vp againe out of their lande, which I haue giuen them, sayeth the Lord thy God.

Mede Israelfo bedua wɔn ankasa asase so a wɔrentu bio da mfi asase a mede ama wɔn no so,” sɛnea Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn se ni.
