< 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.
Vi al Señor junto al altar, y dijo: “Da un golpe al capitel, y se sacudirán los umbrales. Y hazlos pedazos sobre las cabezas de todos ellos; y a los que de ellos quedaren los mataré Yo a espada. Ninguno de ellos logrará escapar, y de los que huyeren no se salvará hombre alguno.
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)
Si penetrasen hasta el scheol, de allí los sacaría mi mano, y si subiesen hasta el cielo, de allí los haría descender. (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.
Aunque se escondiesen en la cumbre del Carmelo, allí los buscaría y los sacaría; y si se ocultasen a mis ojos en el fondo del mar, allí, por orden mía, los mordería la serpiente.
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.”
Y cuando vayan al cautiverio delante de sus enemigos, mandaré allí la espada que los mate; y tendré fijos sobre ellos mis ojos para mal, y no para bien.”
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.
El Señor, Yahvé de los ejércitos, toca la tierra, y ella se derrite; se ponen de duelo todos sus moradores, y se levanta toda ella como el Nilo, para abajarse como el río de 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.
Él edificó en el cielo su solio y fundó su bóveda sobre la tierra; Él llama a las aguas del mar, y las derrama sobre la superficie de la tierra; Yahvé es su nombre.
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].
“¿No sois acaso para Mí como los etíopes, oh hijos de Israel? —oráculo de Yahvé. ¿No hice Yo subir a Israel de la tierra de Egipto, a los filisteos de Caftor, y a los arameos de 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.
He aquí que los ojos del Señor Yahvé se dirigen hacia el reino pecador. Lo voy a destruir de sobre la faz de la tierra; pero no destruiré del todo la casa de Jacob, dice Yahvé.
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].
Pues he aquí que daré la orden y zarandearé a la casa de Israel en medio de todos los pueblos, como se zarandea (el trigo) con la criba; y no caerá por tierra un solo granito.
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.”
Al filo de la espada morirán todos los pecadores de mi pueblo, los que dicen: «No nos tocará, ni vendrá sobre nosotros el mal».
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.
En aquel día levantaré el tabernáculo de David, que está por tierra; repararé sus quiebras y alzaré sus ruinas, y lo reedificaré como en los días antiguos,
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.
para que sean dueños de los restos de Edom, y de todas las naciones sobre las cuales ha sido invocado mi Nombre, dice Yahvé, que hace esto.
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].
He aquí que vienen días, dice Yahvé, en que al arador le seguirá el segador, y al que pisa las uvas el que esparce la semilla; los montes destilarán mosto, y todas las colinas abundarán de fruto.
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].
Y haré que regresen los cautivos de Israel, mi pueblo; edificarán las ciudades devastadas, y las habitarán, plantarán viñas y beberán su vino; harán huertos y comerán su fruto.
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.”
Yo los plantaré en su propio suelo; y no volverán a ser arrancados de su tierra, que Yo les he dado, dice Yahvé, tu Dios.
