Amòs 9

1 Mwen te wè Senyè a, ki te kanpe akote lotèl la, e Li te di: “Frape tèt poto yo jiskaske papòt yo tranble. Kraze yo an moso sou tèt a yo tout! Answit, mwen va touye rès yo ak nepe. Yo p ap gen yon grenn refijye ki pou sove ale, ni yon refijye k ap chape.

I saw the Lord standing upon the altar, and he said: Strike the hinges, and let the lintels be shook: for there is covetousness in the head of them all, and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there shall be no flight for them: they shall flee, and he that shall flee of them shall not be delivered.

2 Menmsi yo ta fouye antre nan sejou mò yo; la, men, Mwen va pran yo soti la. Menmsi yo monte rive nan syèl la, Mwen va rale yo soti la pou fè yo desann. (Sheol h7585)

Though they go down even to hell, thence shall my hand bring them out: and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

3 Menmsi yo kache sou tèt mòn Carmel la, Mwen va chèche fè yo soti la; epi menmsi yo ta kache kò yo anba nan pwofondè lanmè a, mwen va kòmande sèpan an, e li va mòde yo.

And though they be hid in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them away from thence: and though they hide themselves from my eyes in the depth of the sea, there will I command the serpent and he shall bite them.

4 Menmsi yo antre an kaptivite devan lènmi yo, Mwen va kòmande nepe soti la pou touye yo. Konsa, Mwen va fikse zye M kont yo pou mal, e non pa pou byen.

And if they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall kill them. And I will set my eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

5 Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo, se Sila ki touche tè a pou li fann, e tout sila ki rete ladann yo, va fè dèy. Kriye sa a va monte tankou Rivyè Nil lan, e vin bese ankò tankou Nil Égypte la.

And the Lord the God of hosts is he who toucheth the earth, and it shall melt: and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up as a river, and shall run down as the river of Egypt.

6 Sila ki bati chanm wo Li yo nan syèl yo, e ki te etabli vout plafon syèl la anwo tè a, sila ki rele dlo lanmè yo pou vide yo sou sifas tè a—se SENYÈ a ki non Li.

He that buildeth his ascension in heaven, and hath founded his bundle upon the earth: who calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth, the Lord is his name.

7 Èske nou pa tankou fis a Ethiopie yo pou Mwen, O fis Israël yo?” deklare SENYÈ a. “Èske Mwen pa t mennen Israël fè l monte soti nan peyi Égypte, ak Filisten yo soti Caphtor e Siryen yo soti Kir?

Are not you as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel, saith the Lord? did not I bring up Israel, out of the land of Egypt: and the Philistines out of Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of Cyrene?

8 Gade byen, zye a Senyè BONDYE a sou wayòm nan ki plen peche a; Mwen va detwi l soti sou sifas tè a. Sepandan Lakay Jacob la p ap detwi nèt,” deklare SENYÈ a.

Behold the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth: but yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.

9 “Paske gade byen, Mwen ap kòmande, e Mwen va souke lakay Israël pami nasyon yo, tankou yon grenn k ap souke nan yon paswa, men menm yon grenn p ap tonbe atè.

For behold I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, as corn is sifted in a sieve: and there shall not a little stone fall to the ground.

10 Tout pechè pami pèp Mwen an va mouri pa nepe, sila yo k ap di: ‘Malè pa rive sou nou ni parèt devan nou.’

All the sinners of my people shall fall by the sword: who say: The evils shall not approach, and shall not come upon us.

11 Nan jou sa a, Mwen va fè leve Lakay David ki te tonbe a, e ranfòse brèch li yo. Anplis, Mwen va leve mazi kraze li yo, e fè l vin rebati tankou nan jou ansyen yo;

In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, that is fallen: and I will close up the breaches of the walls thereof, and repair what was fallen: and I will rebuild it as in the days of old.

12 pou yo kapab vin posede retay Édom an ak tout nasyon ki rele pa non Mwen yo,” deklare SENYÈ ki fè sa a.

That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all nations, because my name is invoked upon them: saith the Lord that doth these things.

13 “Gade byen, jou yo ap vini,” deklare SENYÈ a, “lè sila k ap raboure a va depase sila k ap rekòlte a, e sila k ap foule rezen an va depase sila k ap simen grenn nan; lè mòn yo va degoute diven dous e tout kolin yo va vin fann nèt ak dousè li.

Behold the days come, saith the Lord, when the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed: and the mountains shall drop sweetness, and every hill shall be tilled.

14 Anplis, Mwen va restore pèp Mwen an, Israël, ki an kaptivite a, e yo va rebati vil ki kraze nèt yo pou yo viv ladan yo. Anplis, yo va plante chan rezen yo pou bwè diven yo; epi fè jaden pou manje fwi yo.

And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel: and they shall build the abandoned cities, and inhabit them: and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of them: and shall make gardens, and eat the fruits of them.

15 Mwen va osi plante yo sou pwòp tèren pa yo, e yo p ap dechouke yo ankò soti nan peyi ke Mwen te bay yo a,” pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Ou a.

And I will plant them upon their own land: and I will no more pluck them out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
