Amos 9

1 I SAW the Lord standing beside the altar: and he said, Smite the chapiters, that the thresholds may shake: and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape.

Ndakaona Jehovha amire parutivi rwearitari, uye akati, “Rova misoro yembiru kuti zvikumbaridzo zvizunguzike. Zviputsire pasi pamisoro yevanhu vose; avo vachasara ndichavauraya nomunondo. Hapana kana mumwe chete achatiza, hapana achapunyuka.

2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

Kunyange vakachera kusvikira panoperera guva, kubva imomo ruoko rwangu ruchavatora. Kunyange vakakwira kumatenga, kubva ikoko ndichavadzikisa pasi. (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.

Kunyange vakazvivanza pamusoro peKarimeri, ipapo ndichavavhima ndigovabata. Kunyange vakahwanda kubva kwandiri pasi pegungwa, ipapo ndicharayira nyoka kuti ivarume.

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.

Kunyange vakaendeswa kuutapwa navavengi vavo, ikoko ndicharayira munondo kuti uvaparadze. Ndichananʼanidza meso angu pavari kuti ndivaitire zvakaipa, kwete zvakanaka.”

5 For the Lord, the GOD of hosts, [is] he that toucheth the land and it melteth, and all that dwell therein shall mourn; and it shall rise up wholly like the River; and shall sink again, like the River of Egypt;

Ishe, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, iye anobata nyika igonyungudika, navose vagere mairi vagochema, nyika yose inozara seNairi, uye igoderera serwizi rweIjipiti,

6 [it is] he that buildeth his 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.

iye anovaka muzinda wake kumatenga agomisa hwaro hwawo panyika, anodana mvura dzegungwa agodzidururira pamusoro penyika, Jehovha ndiro zita rake.

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 the Syrians from Kir?

“Nhai imi vaIsraeri, ko, hamusi kwandiri vamwe chete savaEtiopia here?” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Handina kubudisa Israeri kubva kuIjipiti here, vaFiristia kubva kuKafitori navaAramu kubva kuKiri?

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.

“Zvirokwazvo meso aIshe Jehovha ari paumambo hunotadza. Ndichahuparadza kubva pamusoro penyika, asi handingaparadzi zvachose imba yaJakobho,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

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.

“Nokuti ndicharayira, uye ndichazunguza imba yaIsraeri pakati pendudzi dzose, sokuzunguzwa kunoitwa zviyo murusero, uye hapana kana tsanga imwe chete ichawira pasi.

10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

Vatadzi vose pakati pavanhu vangu vachafa nomunondo, vose vanoti, ‘Njodzi haingatiwiri kana kusangana nesu.’

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;

“Pazuva iro ndichamisazve tende raDhavhidhi rakawa. Ndichavakazve nzvimbo dzaro dzakaputsika, ndigovakazve matongo aro, uye ndicharivaka sezvarakanga rakaita,

12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.

kuti vazvitorere zvakasara zvaEdhomu nendudzi dzose dzine zita rangu,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, iye achaita zvinhu izvi.

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.

“Mazuva ari kuuya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “mucheki paachapfuurwa nomurimi, uye mudyari paachapfuurwa neanosvina mazambiringa. Waini itsva ichadonha kubva kumakomo, uye ichayerera kubva pazvikomo zvose.

14 And I will bring again 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.

Ndichadzosazve vanhu vangu vakatapwa, ivo vaIsraeri; vachavakazve maguta akaitwa matongo uye vachagara maari. Vachasima minda yemizambiringa vagonwa waini yayo. Vacharima mapindu uye vachadya zvibereko zvawo.

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.

Ndichasima Israeri munyika yavo voga, havangazodzurwizve kubva panyika yandakavapa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Mwari wako.
