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, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth 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 dig into the place of the dead, thence shall my hand take them; 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 hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they are hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence 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 though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay 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 GOD of hosts [is] he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell in it shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as [by] the flood 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.

[It is] he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for 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] ye not as children of the Cushites to me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel from the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Assyrians from Kir?

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 off the face of the earth; saving that 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 lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as [corn] is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

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 die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not overtake nor fall 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 will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up their breaches; and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build 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 of all the heathen, who are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.

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, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

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 again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of them; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit 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 land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.
