< Amos 9 >

1 I saw the Lord towering above the altar, and he commanded: Strike the tops of the pillars so that the foundations may shake, bring them down on the heads of the people below. The rest of them I will slay with the sword: no one will get away, no one will escape.
Namonaki Yawe atelemi pene ya etumbelo, mpe alobaki: « Buka makonzi ya Tempelo mpo ete ndako mobimba eningana mpe ekweyela bato nyonso na mito. Bato oyo bakotikala, nakoboma bango na mopanga. Moko te akokima, moko te akobika.
2 If they dig down to Sheol, there will my hand take them. If they climb up to the heavens, from there will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)
Soki bakimi na se ya mabele, na mboka ya bakufi, loboko na Ngai ekobimisa bango kuna; soki bakimi na Lola, nakokitisa bango na se. (Sheol h7585)
3 If they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, there will I search them out and take them. If they hide out of my sight at the bottom of the sea, there will I command the sea serpent to bite them.
Soki babombami na songe ya ngomba Karimeli, nakokanga bango mpe nakokitisa bango na se; soki babombami Ngai na se ya ebale monene, nakopesa mitindo na nyoka ete eswa bango kuna.
4 If they are taken into captivity by their enemies, there will I command the sword to slay them. I will keep my eye on them but for evil and not for good.
Ezala banguna na bango bamemi bango na bowumbu, nakopesa mitindo na mopanga ete eboma bango kuna. Miso na Ngai ekozala likolo na bango mpo na kosala bango mabe, kasi bolamu te.
5 It is the Lord the God of hosts, who touches the earth and it trembles, all who live on it mourn. The earth rises up like the Nile, and sinks like the Nile of Egypt.
Soki Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, asimbi mabele, mabele eninganaka, mpe bavandi na yango nyonso bakomaka na matanga, mokili mobimba etelemaka lokola ebale Nili mpe ekawukaka lokola mayi ya Ejipito.
6 The one who builds in the heavens, who sets the dome of the sky over the earth, who summons the waters of the sea and pours them out on the face of the earth: the Lord is his name.
Yawe atonga ndako na Ye kati na Lola mpe atia miboko na yango na mabele; abengaka mayi ya ebale monene mpe asopaka yango na etando ya mabele. Kombo na Ye ezali: Yawe.
7 To me, Israelites, you are just like the Cushites, says the Lord. Yes, I brought Israel up out of the land of Egypt, but also the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans from Kir!
Bino bana ya Isalaele, boni, bokokani te na bato ya mokili ya Kushi? » elobi Yawe. « Boni, nabimisaki te Isalaele wuta na Ejipito, bato ya Filisitia wuta na Kreti, bato ya Siri wuta na Kiri?
8 Behold the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom: I will destroy it from the face of the earth! But I will not completely destroy the house of Jacob, says the Lord.
Solo, miso ya Nkolo Yawe ezali kotala bokonzi ya masumu; nakobebisa mpe nakolongola yango na mabele. Nzokande, nakobebisa te libota mobimba ya Jakobi, » elobi Yawe.
9 For behold I am about to give the command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations just as one shakes grain in a sieve, but not a pebble shall fall to the ground.
« Pamba te nakopesa mitindo mpe nakoningisa libota ya Isalaele kati na bikolo nyonso ndenge bayungolaka ble; bongo ata mbuma moko te ya moke ekokweya na se.
10 All the sinners of my people, who deny that disaster will touch or befall them, will die by the sword.
Bato nyonso ya masumu kati na bato na Ngai bakokufa na mopanga, ba-oyo nyonso balobaka: ‹ Pasi ekotikala te kozwa to kokomela biso! ›
11 On that day I will raise up the fallen house of David, I will wall up its gaps and raise up its ruins, I will rebuild it as it was long ago.
Na mokolo wana, nakotonga lisusu ndako ya Davidi oyo ekweya, nakobamba madusu na yango, nakotelemisa lisusu bamir na yango oyo ebukana mpe nakotonga yango lisusu ndenge ezalaka kala,
12 They will possess again the rest of Edom, and all the nations which once you ruled for me, says the Lord, who will do this.
mpo ete bakoka kozwa ndambo ya mokili ya Edomi oyo etikalaki, mpe ya bikolo nyonso oyo babengamaka na Kombo na Ngai, » elobi Yawe oyo asalaka makambo wana nyonso.
13 Listen! The days are coming, says the Lord, when the harvest is too big to reap before it is time to plough, when the grapes cannot be all trod before it is time to sow, when the mountains will run with sweet wine, and every hill will flow with it.
« Mikolo ezali koya, » elobi Yawe, « mikolo oyo mosali bilanga akobuka bambuma na yango noki, mpe moloni elanga ya vino akokamola vino noki. Vino ya sika ekobota na bangomba milayi mpe ekosopana na bangomba mikuse nyonso.
14 I will bring back my people Israel, they will rebuild waste cities and inhabit them, plant vineyards and drink their wine, make gardens and eat their fruit.
Nakozongisa Isalaele, bato na Ngai, oyo bakendeki na bowumbu, mpe bakotonga lisusu bingumba oyo ebebisamaki mpe bakovanda kati na yango. Bakolona banzete ya vino mpe bakomela vino na yango, bakolona bilanga mpe bakolia bambuma na yango.
15 I will plant them on their own soil, and they will never again be uprooted from their land which I have given them, says the Lord your God.
Nakolona bango na mabele na bango moko, mpe bakotikala kopikola bango lisusu te na mabele oyo napesaki bango, » elobi Yawe, Nzambe na yo.
