Amos 9

1 I saw the LORD standing beside the altar, and he said, "Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will kill the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape.

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 dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down. (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 Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out there; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will 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 Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for disaster, 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 For the LORD of hosts is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River 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 It is he who builds his upper chamber in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the 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 you not like the people of Ethiopia to me, children of Israel?" says the LORD. "Haven't I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans 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 Look, the eyes of the LORD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob," says 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, look, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, as one sifts with a sieve, but not even a pebble will fall to the ground.

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

10 All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, 'Evil won't overtake nor meet us.'

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 On that day I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen, and repair its broken places, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it as in the days of old;

“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 the rest of humanity may seek after the LORD, and all the nations who are called by my name," says the LORD who does this.

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

13 "Look, the days come," says the LORD, "that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.

“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 I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit 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 I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them," says the LORD your 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.
