< Amos 9 >

1 Yahweh [showed me another vision. In the vision, ] I saw him standing next to the altar. He said, “Shake the tops of the pillars [of the temple], until they become loose and fall down, so that even the foundation will shake. Then cause the [pieces of the temple] to fall down on the people [who are inside]. I will kill with a sword anyone who [tries to] flee; no one will escape.
Nakitak ti Apo nga agtaktakder iti abay ti altar, ket kinunana, “Pang-orem ti tuktok dagiti adigi tapno magunggon dagiti pundasion. Burakem dagitoy iti rabaw dagiti uloda ket patayekto dagiti natda kadakuada babaen iti kampilan. Awanto ti makapanaw kadakuada, awanto ti makalibas kadakuada.
2 If they dig deep pits in the ground, or if they try to climb up to the sky [in order to escape], I will reach out and grab them. (Sheol h7585)
Uray no agkalida nga umuneg iti sheol, alaento ida ti imak sadiay. Uray no umulida iti langit, ibabakto ida. (Sheol h7585)
3 If they go to the top of Carmel [Mountain] to escape, I will search for them and seize them. If they [try to] hide from me at the bottom of the sea, I will command the [huge] sea monster to bite them.
Uray no aglemmengda iti tuktok ti Carmel, birukekto ida ket alaek ida. Uray no aglemmengda iti imatangko iti lansad ti baybay, bilinekto ti uleg sadiay ket kagatennanto ida.
4 If their enemies [capture them and] force them to go to other countries, I will command that they be killed there with swords. I am determined [IDM] to get rid of them, not to help them.”
Uray no maitalawdanto a kas balud, nga adda dagiti kabusorda iti sangoananda, bilinekto ti kampilan sadiay ket patayennanto ida. Imatmatkonto dagiti matak kadakuada para iti pagdaksan saan a pagsayaatan.”
5 When the Commander of the armies of angels touches the earth, it melts, and all over the earth [many people die, and the others] mourn for them. [It is as though] Yahweh causes the earth repeatedly to rise and fall like [SIM] the Nile [River] rises and falls.
Ti Apo a Yahweh a mannakabalin amin, sagidenna ti daga ket marunaw daytoy; agladingit ti amin nga agnanaed iti daytoy; ngumatonto ti amin a kas iti Karayan ken lumnedto manen a kas ti Karayan ti Egipto.
6 He builds his [beautiful] palace in heaven, and sets/causes the sky to be like a dome over the earth. He scoops up the water from the ocean and [puts it into clouds], and then empties [the clouds] onto the earth. His name is Yahweh.
Isuna ti nangaramid kadagiti siledna idiay langit, ti nangipasdek ti tangatangna iti ngatoen ti daga. Aw-awaganna ti danum iti baybay, ket ibuybuyatna dagitoy iti rabaw ti daga, Yahweh ti naganna.
7 And Yahweh says, “You people of Israel, you are certainly [RHQ] [now no more important to me] than the people of Ethiopia. I brought your [ancestors] here from Egypt, but I also brought the people of Philistia from Crete [Island], and I brought the people of Syria from the Kir [region].
“Saankayo kadi a kas kadagiti tattao ti Etiopia kaniak, tattao ti Israel?”—daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh. Saan kadi nga inruarko ti Israel manipud iti daga ti Egipto, dagiti Filisteo manipud iti Creta, ken dagiti taga-Aram manipud iti Kir?
8 I [SYN], Yahweh the Lord, have seen that you people in the kingdom [of Israel] are very sinful, so I will (destroy you/wipe you off the earth). But I will not get rid of all you descendants [MTY] of Jacob. [That is what will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
Kitaenyo, kitkitaen ti Apo a Yahweh ti managbasol a pagarian, ket dadaelekto daytoy iti rabaw ti daga, ngem saankonto a dadaelen amin ti balay ni Jacob —daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh.”
9 When I command it, [it will be as though] I will shake you Israeli people [who are living] in various nations, like [MET] [a farmer] shakes a sieve [to separate] the stone pebbles [from the grain], in order that they do not fall on the ground [with the grain].
“Kitaem, mangtedakto iti bilin, ket yakayakekto ti balay ti Israel kadagiti amin a pagilian a kas iti panangyakayak ti maysa a tao kadigiti bukbukel, tapno saan a matinnag iti daga ti kabassitan a bato.
10 From among my people, all you sinful people who say, ‘We will not experience disasters; nothing evil will happen to us,’ will be killed by [your enemies’] swords.”
Amin dagiti managbasol kadagiti tattaok ket matayto babaen iti kampilan, dagiti mangibagbaga, 'Saannatayonto a kamakamen wenno sabaten ti didigra.’”
11 “The kingdom [over which King] David [ruled has been destroyed, like] [MET] a house that collapsed and then became ruins. But some day I will cause it to be a kingdom again. I will cause it to prosper again just like it did previously.
“Iti dayta nga aldaw, bangonekto ti tolda ni David a natuang ket serraakto dagiti siwangna. Bangonekto dagiti nadadael a pasetna ken ipatakderkonto manen daytoy a kas idi nagkauna nga al-aldaw.
12 When that happens, your [armies] will seize/capture the remaining part of Edom [region] again, and they will also seize the land in other nations that previously belonged to me [MTY]. I, Yahweh, have said [that I will do these things], and I will certainly cause them to happen.
Iti kasta ket tagikuaenda ti nabati ti Edom ken amin a nasion a naawagan iti naganko —daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh a mangar-aramid iti daytoy.”
13 There will be a time [when your crops will grow very well]. Very soon after the crops are harvested, farmers will plow the ground [to plant more crops in it again], and soon after the vineyards are planted, [farmers will harvest] grapes and tread on them [to make wine]. [And because there will be a lot of] wine, [it will seem as though] wine is flowing down from the hills [DOU].
“Kitaenyo, dumtengto dagiti aldaw” —Daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh— “Inton unaan ti agar-arado ti gumagapas, ken unaan ti para pespes ti ubas ti agmulmula ti bukel. Agtedtedto dagiti bantay iti nasam-it nga arak ken agayusto dagitoy iti amin a turod.
14 I will cause you, my Israeli people, to prosper again. You will rebuild your towns and live in them. You will plant vineyards and then drink the wine [made from the grapes that grows in them].
Isublikto dagiti tattaok nga Israel manipud iti pannakaibaludda. Bangonendanto dagiti nadadael a siudad ket agnaedda kadagitoy, agmuladanto kadagiti kaubasan ket inumendanto ti arak manipud kadagitoy, ken agmuladanto kadagiti minuyongan ket kanendanto ti prutas manipud kadagitoy.
15 I will enable you to live [MET] in your land again, the land that I gave to [your ancestors], and never again will you be forced to leave it. [That is what will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
Imulakto ida iti dagada, ket saandanton a maparut iti uray kaanoman manipud iti daga nga intedko kadakuada,” kuna ni Yahweh a Diosyo.
