Amos 9

1 Kulihat Tuhan berdiri dekat mezbah, dan Ia berfirman: "Pukullah hulu tiang dengan keras, sehingga ambang-ambang bergoncang, dan runtuhkanlah itu ke atas kepala semua orang, dan sisa-sisa mereka akan Kubunuh dengan pedang; tidak seorangpun dari mereka akan dapat melarikan diri, dan tidak seorangpun dari mereka akan dapat meluputkan diri.

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.

2 Sekalipun mereka menembus sampai ke dunia orang mati, tangan-Ku akan mengambil mereka dari sana; sekalipun mereka naik ke langit, Aku akan menurunkan mereka dari sana. (Sheol h7585)

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)

3 Sekalipun mereka bersembunyi di puncak gunung Karmel, Aku akan mengusut dan mengambil mereka dari sana; sekalipun mereka menyembunyikan diri terhadap mata-Ku di dasar laut, Aku akan memerintahkan ular untuk memagut mereka di sana.

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.

4 Sekalipun mereka berjalan di depan musuhnya sebagai orang tawanan, Aku akan memerintahkan pedang untuk membunuh mereka di sana. Aku akan mengarahkan mata-Ku kepada mereka untuk kecelakaan dan bukan untuk keberuntungan mereka."

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.”

5 Tuhan ALLAH semesta alamlah yang menyentuh bumi, sehingga bergoyang, dan semua penduduknya berkabung, dan seluruhnya naik seperti sungai Nil, dan surut seperti sungai Mesir;

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.

6 yang mendirikan anjung-Nya di langit dan mendasarkan kubah-Nya di atas bumi; yang memanggil air laut dan mencurahkannya ke atas permukaan bumi--TUHAN itulah nama-Nya.

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.

7 "Bukankah kamu sama seperti orang Etiopia bagi-Ku, hai orang Israel?" demikianlah firman TUHAN. "Bukankah Aku telah menuntun orang Israel keluar dari tanah Mesir, orang Filistin dari Kaftor, dan orang Aram dari Kir?

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].

8 Sesungguhnya, TUHAN Allah sudah mengamat-amati kerajaan yang berdosa ini: Aku akan memunahkannya dari muka bumi! Tetapi Aku tidak akan memunahkan keturunan Yakub sama sekali," demikianlah firman TUHAN.

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.

9 "Sebab sesungguhnya, Aku memberi perintah, dan Aku mengiraikan kaum Israel di antara segala bangsa, seperti orang mengiraikan ayak, dan sebiji batu kecilpun tidak akan jatuh ke tanah.

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].

10 Oleh pedang akan mati terbunuh semua orang berdosa di antara umat-Ku yang mengatakan: Malapetaka itu tidak akan menyusul dan tidak akan mencapai kami."

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.”

11 "Pada hari itu Aku akan mendirikan kembali pondok Daud yang telah roboh; Aku akan menutup pecahan dindingnya, dan akan mendirikan kembali reruntuhannya; Aku akan membangunnya kembali seperti di zaman dahulu kala,

“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.

12 supaya mereka menguasai sisa-sisa bangsa Edom dan segala bangsa yang Kusebut milik-Ku," demikianlah firman TUHAN yang melakukan hal ini.

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.

13 "Sesungguhnya, waktu akan datang," demikianlah firman TUHAN, "bahwa pembajak akan tepat menyusul penuai dan pengirik buah anggur penabur benih; gunung-gunung akan meniriskan anggur baru dan segala bukit akan kebanjiran.

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].

14 Aku akan memulihkan kembali umat-Ku Israel: mereka akan membangun kota-kota yang licin tandas dan mendiaminya; mereka akan menanami kebun-kebun anggur dan minum anggurnya; mereka akan membuat kebun-kebun buah-buahan dan makan buahnya.

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].

15 Maka Aku akan menanam mereka di tanah mereka, dan mereka tidak akan dicabut lagi dari tanah yang telah Kuberikan kepada mereka," firman TUHAN, Allahmu.

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.”
