Amos 9

1 I saw [the] Lord standing on the altar and he said strike the capital so they may shake the thresholds and break off them on [the] head of all of them and posterity their by the sword I will kill not he will flee of them [one who] flees and not he will escape of them an escapee.

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.

2 If they will dig in Sheol from there hand my it will take them and if they will go up the heavens from there I will bring down them. (Sheol h7585)

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)

3 And if they will hide themselves on [the] top of Carmel from there I will search for [them] and I will take them and if they will hide themselves from before eyes my at [the] bottom of the sea from there I will command the snake and it will bite them.

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.

4 And if they will go in captivity before enemies their from there I will command the sword and it will kill them and I will set eye my on them for evil and not for good.

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.

5 And [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts who touches the earth and it melted and they mourn all [the] inhabitants in it and it rises like the River all of it and it sinks like [the] River (of Egypt *L(abh)*)

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.

6 who builds in the heavens (stairs his *Q(K)*) and vault his on [the] earth he has founds it who summons [the] waters of the sea and he poured out them on [the] surface of the earth [is] Yahweh name his.

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.

7 ¿ Not like [the] sons of [the] Cushites [are] you to me O people of Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh ¿ not Israel did I bring up from [the] land of Egypt and [the] Philistines from Caphtor and Aram from Kir.

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!

8 Here! [the] eyes of - [the] Lord Yahweh [are] on the kingdom sinful and I will destroy it from on [the] surface of the ground nevertheless for not certainly I will destroy [the] house of Jacob [the] utterance of Yahweh.

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.

9 That here! I [am] about to command and I will shake among all the nations [the] house of Israel just as it is shaken in sieve and not it will fall a pebble [the] ground.

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.

10 By the sword they will die all [the] sinners of people my who say not it will bring near and it may meet through us the calamity.

All the sinners of my people, who deny that disaster will touch or befall them, will die by the sword.

11 On the day that I will raise up [the] booth of David falling and I will wall up breaches their and ruins his I will raise up and I will rebuild it like [the] days of antiquity.

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.

12 So that they may dispossess [the] remnant of Edom and all the nations which it is called name my on them [the] utterance of Yahweh [who is] about to do this.

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.

13 Here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and he will approach [the] plowman the reaper and [the] treader of grapes [the] sower of the seed and they will drip the mountains sweet wine and all the hills they will flow with [it].

Listen! The days are coming, says the Lord, when the harvest is too big to reap before it is time to plow, 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.

14 And I will turn back [the] captivity of people my Israel and they will rebuild cities desolated and they will dwell [in them] and they will plant vineyards and they will drink wine their and they will make gardens and they will eat fruit their.

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.

15 And I will plant them on own land their and not they will be plucked up again from on land their which I have given to them he says Yahweh God your.

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.
