Amos 9

1 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar; and He said: Smite the capitals, that the posts may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will slay the residue of them with the sword; there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape.

Naʻa ku mamata kia Sihova naʻe ʻafio mei he feilaulauʻanga: pea naʻa ne pehē, “Taaʻi ʻae ʻakau fakalava ʻoe matapā, kae lulululu hono pou; pea taaʻi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi honau ʻulu; pea te u tāmateʻi ʻae tomui ʻokinautolu ʻaki ʻae heletā: ko ia ʻoku hola ʻe ʻikai te ne hao, pea ko ia ʻoku hao ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui ia.

2 Though they dig into the nether-world, thence shall My hand take them; and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

Neongo ʻoku nau keli hifo ki heli, ʻe maʻu ʻakinautolu mei ai ʻe hoku nima; neongo ʻoku nau kaka hake ki he langi, te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki lalo: (Sheol h7585)

3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from My sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them.

Neongo ʻoku nau fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he funga ʻo Kameli, te u kumi pea ʻave ʻakinautolu mei ai; pea neongo ʻoku nau fufū mei hoku ʻao ʻi he kilisi tahi, te u fekau mei ai ʻae ngata, pea te ne ʻuusi ʻakinautolu:

4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them; and I will set Mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

Pea neongo ʻoku nau ʻalu pōpula ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili, te u fekau mei ai ʻae heletā, pea te ne tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu: pea te u hanga hoku fofonga kiate kinautolu ke kovi, pea ʻikai ke lelei.”

5 For the Lord, the GOD of hosts, is He that toucheth the land and it melteth, and all that dwell therein mourn; and it riseth up wholly like the River, and sinketh again, like the River of Egypt;

Pea ko e ʻEiki, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko ia ia ʻoku ala ki he fonua, pea ʻe vai ia, pea ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ai te nau tangi; pea ʻe tupu ia hangē ha lōmaki: pea ʻe melemo hifo, hangē ko e malofa ʻi ʻIsipite.

6 It is He that buildeth His upper chambers in the heaven, and hath founded His vault upon the earth; He that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth; The LORD is His name.

Ko ia ia ʻoku langa hono ngaahi fale fata ʻi he langi, pea kuo tānaki ʻene kautau ʻi māmani; ʻaia ʻoku ne ui ʻae ngaahi vai ʻoe tahi, pea ne huaʻi ia ʻi he funga ʻoe fonua: ko Sihova hono huafa.

7 Are ye not as the children of the Ethiopians unto Me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and Aram from Kir?

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻIkai ʻoku mou hangē ko e fānau ʻae kakai ʻItiopea kiate au, ʻE fānau ʻa ʻIsileli? ʻIkai naʻaku ʻomi ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite? Pea mo e Filisitia mei Kafitoli, pea mo e kau Silia mei Kili?

8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD.

Vakai, ko e fofonga ʻoe ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻi he puleʻanga angahala, pea te u fakaʻauha ia mei he funga fonua; ka ʻe ʻikai ʻauha ʻaupito ʻae fale ʻo Sēkope, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

Koeʻuhi, vakai, te u fakatanga ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, hangē ʻoku fakatanga ʻae koane ʻi he meʻa fakatanga, ka ʻe ʻikai tō ha foʻi tenga ki he kelekele.

10 All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, that say: 'The evil shall not overtake nor confront us.'

‌ʻE mate ʻi he heletā ʻae kau angahala kotoa pē ʻa hoku kakai, ʻoku lea pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai moʻua pe taʻofi ʻakitautolu ʻe he kovi.’

11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof, and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;

‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te u toe langa ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻo Tevita ʻaia kuo hinga, pea tāpuni ʻae ngaahi ava ʻo ia; pea te u toe fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo holoki, pea te u langaʻi ia ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa:

12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations, upon whom My name is called, saith the LORD that doeth this.

Koeʻuhi ke nau maʻu ʻae toenga ʻo ʻItomi, pea mo e hiteni kotoa pē, ʻoku ui ʻaki hoku huafa:” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku fai eni:

13 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

“Vakai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOku hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻe maʻu atu ʻe he tangata tauhi huo toho ʻae tangata tuʻusi, pea ko ia ʻoku malaki ʻae kālepi, ʻaia ʻoku tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga; pea ʻe toʻiʻi ʻae uaine melie ʻe he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻe vai ʻae ngaahi tafungofunga kotoa pē:

14 And I will turn the captivity of My people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

Pea te u toe ʻomi ʻae pōpula ʻo hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli, pea te nau toe langa ʻae kolo naʻe lala, pea nofo ai; pea te nau tō ngoue vaine, pea inu ʻae uaine ʻo ia; te nau ngoue foki, pea kai hono fua.

15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.

Pea te u tō ʻakinautolu ʻi honau fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai toe taʻaki ʻakinautolu mei he fonua, ʻaia kuo u foaki kiate kinautolu,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
