Amos 9
1 I saw the Lord standing upon the altar; and he said, Smite the capital, that the sills may quake; and break them in pieces over the head of all of them; and their posterity will I slay with the sword: there shall not flee away from them one that fleeth, and there shall not escape from them one that is saved.
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 were to creep down into the nether world, thence would my hand fetch them; and though they were to climb up to the heavens, thence would I bring them down; (Sheol h7585)
Ngakhale atakumba pansi mpaka ku malo a anthu akufa, dzanja langa lidzawatulutsa kumeneko. Ngakhale atakwera kumwamba Ine ndidzawatsakamutsa kumeneko. (Sheol h7585)
3 And though they were to hide themselves on the top of Carmel, thence would I search and take them out; and though they were to conceal themselves from before my eyes in the bottom of the sea, thence would I command the serpent, that he should 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 were to go into captivity before their enemies, thence would I command the sword, that it should slay them: and I will set my eye 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 Eternal of hosts it is that toucheth the earth, and she melteth away, and all that dwell thereon shall mourn; and she riseth up like a stream wholly; and she sinketh like the stream 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 That buildeth in the heavens his steps, and hath founded his vault over the earth; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out over the face of the earth: The Lord 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 like the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord: have I not 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 Eternal are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; save only that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.
“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 give the command, and I will shake about among all the nations the house of Israel, as one shaketh things in a sieve, while not the least piece falleth down 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 By the sword shall die all the sinners of my people, who say, The evil will not come near [us], nor hasten along for our sake.
Anthu onse ochimwa pakati pa anthu anga adzaphedwa ndi lupanga, onse amene amanena kuti, ‘Tsoka silidzatigwera ife kapena kutiwononga.’
11 On that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David which is fallen; and I will close up its breaches; and its ruins will I raise up, and I will rebuild it as in days of old:
“Tsiku limenelo ndidzabwezeretsa nyumba ya Davide imene inagwa. Ndidzakonzanso malo amene anagumuka, ndi kuyimanganso monga inalili poyamba,
12 In order that they may take possession of the remnant of Edom, and of all the nations, which are called by my name, saith the Lord that doth this.
kuti adzatengenso otsala a Edomu ndi mitundu yonse imene imatchedwa ndi dzina langa,” akutero Yehova amene adzachita zinthu izi.
13 Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when the ploughman shall come close up to the harvester, and the treader of the grapes to the one that scattereth the seed: and the mountains shall drop with sweet new wine, and all the hills shall melt away.
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 back the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the wasted cities, and dwell therein; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink their wine; and they shall lay out gardens, and eat their fruit.
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 own soil, and they shall not be pulled up any more out of their land which I have given unto them, saith the Lord thy God.
Ndidzakhazika Aisraeli mʼdziko mwawo, ndipo sadzachotsedwamonso mʼdziko limene Ine ndawapatsa,” akutero Yehova Mulungu wako.
