< Amos 9 >
1 I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; 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 delivered.
Ine ndinaona Ambuye atayima pambali pa guwa lansembe, ndipo anati: “Kantha mitu ya nsanamira kuti ziwundo za nyumba zigwedezeke. Muzigwetsere pa mitu ya anthu onse, onse amene atsalira ndidzawapha ndi lupanga. Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene adzathawe, palibe amene adzapulumuke.
2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down: (Sheol )
Ngakhale atakumba pansi mpaka ku malo a anthu akufa, dzanja langa lidzawatulutsa kumeneko. Ngakhale atakwera kumwamba Ine ndidzawatsakamutsa kumeneko. (Sheol )
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:
Ngakhale atakabisala pamwamba pa phiri la Karimeli, Ine ndidzawasaka kumeneko ndi kuwagwira. Ngakhale atakabisala pansi pa nyanja yayikulu, ndidzalamula njoka kuti iwalume kumeneko.
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.
Ngakhale adani awo awakusire ku ukapolo, ndidzalamula lupanga kuti liwaphe kumeneko. Ndidzawayangʼanitsitsa kuti zoyipa ziwagwere; osati zabwino.”
5 And the Lord Yhwh of Armies is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse amene amakhudza dziko lapansi ndipo dzikolo limasungunuka, onse amene amakhala mʼmenemo amalira. Dziko lonse lidzadzaza ngati mtsinje wa Nailo, kenaka nʼkuphwera ngati mtsinje wa ku Igupto.
6 It is he that buildeth his chambers in the heaven, and hath founded his vault in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: Yhwh is his name.
Iye amene amamanga malo ake okhalamo kumwamba, ndi kuyika maziko ake pa dziko lapansi, Iye amene amayitana madzi a ku nyanja ndikuwakhuthulira pa dziko lapansi, dzina lake ndiye Yehova.
7 Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith Yhwh. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
“Kodi kwa Ine, inu Aisraeli, simuli chimodzimodzi ndi Akusi?” Akutero Yehova. “Kodi sindine amene ndinatulutsa Israeli ku Igupto, Afilisti ku Kafitori ndi Aaramu ku Kiri?
8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord Yhwh 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 Yhwh.
“Taonani, maso a Ambuye Yehova ali pa ufumu wochimwawu. Ndidzawufafaniza pa dziko lapansi. Komabe sindidzawononga kotheratu nyumba ya Yakobo,” akutero Yehova.
9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as wheat is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
“Pakuti ndidzalamula, ndipo ndidzagwedeza nyumba ya Israeli pakati pa mitundu yonse ya anthu monga momwe amasefera ufa mʼsefa, koma palibe nʼkamwala kamodzi komwe kamene kadzagwe pansi.
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
Anthu onse ochimwa pakati pa anthu anga adzaphedwa ndi lupanga, onse amene amanena kuti, ‘Tsoka silidzatigwera ife kapena kutiwononga.’
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:
“Tsiku limenelo ndidzabwezeretsa nyumba ya Davide imene inagwa. Ndidzakonzanso malo amene anagumuka, ndi kuyimanganso monga inalili poyamba,
12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith Yhwh that doeth this.
kuti adzatengenso otsala a Edomu ndi mitundu yonse imene imatchedwa ndi dzina langa,” akutero Yehova amene adzachita zinthu izi.
13 Behold, the days come, saith Yhwh, 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.
Yehova akunena kuti “Nthawi ikubwera pamene mlimi wotipula adzapyola wokolola ndipo woponda mphesa adzapyola wodzala mbewu. Mapiri adzachucha vinyo watsopano ndi kuyenderera pa zitunda zonse.
14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of 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.
Ndidzawabwezeranso pabwino anthu anga Aisraeli; mizinda imene inali mabwinja idzamangidwanso ndipo azidzakhalamo. Adzalima minda ya mpesa ndipo adzamwa vinyo wake; adzalima minda ndipo adzadya zipatso zake.
15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith Yhwh thy God.
Ndidzakhazika Aisraeli mʼdziko mwawo, ndipo sadzachotsedwamonso mʼdziko limene Ine ndawapatsa,” akutero Yehova Mulungu wako.
