< 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 a ʼAdonay en pie sobre el altar, y dijo: Golpea los capiteles para que se estremezcan las columnas. Destrózalos sobre las cabezas de todos. Mataré a espada hasta el último de ellos. No habrá quien huya o escape.
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 )
Aunque caven hasta el Seol, allí los alcanzará mi mano. Aunque suban hasta el cielo, de allí los bajaré. (Sheol )
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 escondan en la cima de la montaña Carmelo, allí los buscaré y de allí los tomaré. Aunque se oculten de mi vista en el fondo del mar, allí les mandaré una serpiente que los muerda.
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.”
Aunque vayan cautivos delante de sus enemigos, allí mandaré la espada que los mate. Tendré fijos mis ojos sobre ellos para el mal y no para el 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.
Porque ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes es el que toca la tierra, y se derrite. Lloran todos los que la habitan. Toda ella se levanta como un río, y luego vuelve a mermar como el Nilo 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 edifica sus cámaras superiores en los cielos y estableció expansión sobre la tierra. Él llama las aguas del mar y las derrama sobre la superficie de la tierra. ¡Yavé 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].
Oh hijos de Israel, dice Yavé: ¿No me son ustedes más que los etíopes? ¿No saqué Yo 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.
Ciertamente los ojos de ʼAdonay Yavé están sobre el reino pecador. Y lo destruiré de sobre la superficie de la tierra, pero no destruiré por completo la casa de Jacob, dice Yavé.
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].
Porque ciertamente Yo daré orden, y la Casa de Israel será zarandeada entre todas las naciones, como se zarandea el trigo en el cedazo sin que caiga un grano a tierra.
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.”
Morirán por la espada todos los pecadores de mi pueblo que dicen: ¡El mal no se acercará ni caerá sobre nosotros!
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 caído de David. Cerraré sus brechas, reconstruiré sus ruinas y lo edificaré como en los días de antaño,
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 ellos posean el remanente de Edom y todas las naciones sobre las cuales es invocado mi Nombre, dice Yavé, Quien 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].
Ciertamente vienen días, dice Yavé, en los cuales el que ara alcanzará al que cosecha, y el que pisa las uvas al que lleva la semilla. Las montañas destilarán mosto, y todas las colinas se derretirán.
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].
Haré volver del cautiverio a mi pueblo Israel. Reedificarán las ciudades asoladas y las ocuparán. 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.”
Los plantaré en su tierra. Nunca más serán sacados de la tierra que les di, dice Yavé, tu ʼElohim.
