Amos 9

1 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said, “Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake. Break them in pieces on the head of all of them. I will kill the last of them with the sword. Not one of them will flee away. Not one of them will escape.

Ine ndinaona Ambuye atayima pambali pa guwa lansembe, ndipo anati: “Kantha mitu ya nsanamira kuti ziwundo za nyumba zigwedezeke. Muzigwetsere pa mitu ya anthu onse, onse amene atsalira ndidzawapha ndi lupanga. Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene adzathawe, palibe amene adzapulumuke.

2 Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

Ngakhale atakumba pansi mpaka ku malo a anthu akufa, dzanja langa lidzawatulutsa kumeneko. Ngakhale atakwera kumwamba Ine ndidzawatsakamutsa kumeneko. (Sheol h7585)

3 Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out from there; and though they be hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.

Ngakhale atakabisala pamwamba pa phiri la Karimeli, Ine ndidzawasaka kumeneko ndi kuwagwira. Ngakhale atakabisala pansi pa nyanja yayikulu, ndidzalamula njoka kuti iwalume kumeneko.

4 Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for evil, and not for good.

Ngakhale adani awo awakusire ku ukapolo, ndidzalamula lupanga kuti liwaphe kumeneko. Ndidzawayangʼanitsitsa kuti zoyipa ziwagwere; osati zabwino.”

5 For the Lord, GOD of Hosts, is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt.

Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse amene amakhudza dziko lapansi ndipo dzikolo limasungunuka, onse amene amakhala mʼmenemo amalira. Dziko lonse lidzadzaza ngati mtsinje wa Nailo, kenaka nʼkuphwera ngati mtsinje wa ku Igupto.

6 It is he who builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth—the LORD is his name.

Iye amene amamanga malo ake okhalamo kumwamba, ndi kuyika maziko ake pa dziko lapansi, Iye amene amayitana madzi a ku nyanja ndikuwakhuthulira pa dziko lapansi, dzina lake ndiye Yehova.

7 Are you not like the children of the Ethiopians to me, children of Israel?” says the LORD. “Haven’t I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

“Kodi kwa Ine, inu Aisraeli, simuli chimodzimodzi ndi Akusi?” Akutero Yehova. “Kodi sindine amene ndinatulutsa Israeli ku Igupto, Afilisti ku Kafitori ndi Aaramu ku Kiri?

8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth, except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” says the LORD.

“Taonani, maso a Ambuye Yehova ali pa ufumu wochimwawu. Ndidzawufafaniza pa dziko lapansi. Komabe sindidzawononga kotheratu nyumba ya Yakobo,” akutero Yehova.

9 “For behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel amongst all the nations as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel will fall on the earth.

“Pakuti ndidzalamula, ndipo ndidzagwedeza nyumba ya Israeli pakati pa mitundu yonse ya anthu monga momwe amasefera ufa mʼsefa, koma palibe nʼkamwala kamodzi komwe kamene kadzagwe pansi.

10 All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil won’t overtake nor meet us.’

Anthu onse ochimwa pakati pa anthu anga adzaphedwa ndi lupanga, onse amene amanena kuti, ‘Tsoka silidzatigwera ife kapena kutiwononga.’

11 In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old,

“Tsiku limenelo ndidzabwezeretsa nyumba ya Davide imene inagwa. Ndidzakonzanso malo amene anagumuka, ndi kuyimanganso monga inalili poyamba,

12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name,” says the LORD who does this.

kuti adzatengenso otsala a Edomu ndi mitundu yonse imene imatchedwa ndi dzina langa,” akutero Yehova amene adzachita zinthu izi.

13 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.

Yehova akunena kuti “Nthawi ikubwera pamene mlimi wotipula adzapyola wokolola ndipo woponda mphesa adzapyola wodzala mbewu. Mapiri adzachucha vinyo watsopano ndi kuyenderera pa zitunda zonse.

14 I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.

Ndidzawabwezeranso pabwino anthu anga Aisraeli; mizinda imene inali mabwinja idzamangidwanso ndipo azidzakhalamo. Adzalima minda ya mpesa ndipo adzamwa vinyo wake; adzalima minda ndipo adzadya zipatso zake.

15 I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them,” says the LORD your God.

Ndidzakhazika Aisraeli mʼdziko mwawo, ndipo sadzachotsedwamonso mʼdziko limene Ine ndawapatsa,” akutero Yehova Mulungu wako.
