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 a un lado del altar, y me dijo: da golpes a la parte superior de los pilares para que las puertas tiemblen: y dijo: y rómpelos sobre la cabeza de todos; Pondré el último de ellos a filo de la espada; si alguno de ellos sale huyendo, no se escapará, ninguno de ellos estará a salvo.
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)
Incluso aunque caven hasta el Seol, mi mano los levantará desde allí; si suben al cielo, los bajaré: (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 cubren en la cima del Carmelo, iré a buscarlos y los sacaré; aunque se mantengan alejados de mis ojos en el lecho del mar, le daré órdenes a la gran serpiente allí y él les dará un mordisco.
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 aunque sus atacantes se los lleven como prisioneros, incluso allí daré órdenes a la espada para matarlos: mis ojos estarán fijos en ellos 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.
Porque el Señor, el Dios de los ejércitos, es aquel a cuyo toque la tierra se convierte en agua, y todos en ella serán entregados al dolor; todo se desbordará como el río y volverá a descender 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.
Es él quien hace sus habitaciones en el cielo, expandiendo su bóveda sobre la tierra; cuya voz sale a las aguas del mar y las envía fluyendo sobre la faz de la tierra; El Señor 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 son como los hijos de los etíopes para mí, oh hijos de Israel? dice el Señor ¿No he sacado a Israel de la tierra de Egipto, y a los filisteos de Creta, 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.
Mira, los ojos del Señor están sobre el reino malvado, y yo lo pondré fin en toda la tierra; pero no enviaré destrucción completa a Jacob, dice el Señor.
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 verán, daré órdenes, y haré que Israel se mueva entre todas las naciones, como se mueve el grano al sacudir la bandeja, pero no se caerá la semilla más pequeña en la 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.”
Todos los pecadores de mi pueblo serán castigados con la espada que digan: El mal no nos alcanzará ni se encontrará cara a cara con 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 él tabernáculo caído de David, cerraré sus portillos; y volveré a levantar sus ruinas, lo reedificare como en él tiempo pasado;
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 el resto de Edom sea su herencia, y todas las naciones que han sido nombradas por mi nombre, dice el Señor, quien está haciendo 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].
Mira, vendrán días, dice el Señor, cuando el labrador alcanzará al que está cortando el grano, y la trituradora de las uvas al que está plantando semilla; y vino dulce caerá de las montañas, y las colinas se convertirán en arroyos de vino.
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 traeré de la cautividad a mi pueblo Israel, y volverán a construir las ciudades desiertas y vivirán en ellas; volverán a plantar viñedos y tomarán el vino para beber; y harán jardines y obtendrán el fruto de ellos.
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.”
Y los plantaré en su tierra, y nunca más serán desarraigados de su tierra que les he dado, dice el Señor su Dios.
