Amos 9

1 Nga liye LEUM GOD El tu sisken loang uh. El sap, “Liksreni puok sifen sru in Tempul tuh pwelung uh fah kusrusryak, ac acn lucng musalsalu ac raki nu fin sifen mwet uh. Nga fah onela mwet lula nukewa ke mweun. Wangin sie selos ac fah moulla, tia siefanna ac fah kaingla.

I saw the Lord standing upon the altar; and he said, Smite the chapiter that the thresholds may shake; and break all of them in pieces, in the head; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not get away by flight, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

2 Elos finne pikin nu ten in oatui nu ke facl lun mwet misa, nga ac fah sruokolosi. Elos finne fanyak nu inkusrao, nga ac fah tulakunulosi nu ten. (Sheol h7585)

Though they dig into Sheol, thence shall my hand take them; and though they climb up to the heavens, thence will I bring them down; (Sheol h7585)

3 Elos fin wikla fin mangon Eol Carmel, nga ac fah sokolos ac sruokolosi. Elos fin wikla likiyu oe yen loal meoa, nga ac fah sap tuh ma sulallal in meoa in ngalselosi.

and though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there will I command the serpent, and it shall bite them;

4 Mwet lokoalok lalos fin usalosla nu in sruoh, nga ac fah sap in anwuki mwet sruoh ingan. Nga wotela tari in kunauselosla, ac tia kasrelos.”

and though they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

5 LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana El kahlye faclu Ac faclu kusrusryak. Mwet nukewa su muta we elos asor. Faclu nufon ac fah mutyak ac putati oana Infacl Nile.

And the Lord Jehovah of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it melteth, and all that dwell therein shall mourn; and it shall wholly rise up like the Nile, and sink down as the river of Egypt.

6 LEUM GOD El musai acn sel inkusrao, Ac oru tuh acn engyeng uh in sunya faclu. El eis kof liki fin meoa uh Ac okoala nu fin faclu. Inel pa LEUM GOD!

It is he that buildeth his upper chambers in the heavens, and hath founded his vault upon the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: Jehovah is his name.

7 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Israel, nga saokkin mwet Ethiopia oana ke nga sekoekowos. Nga use mwet Philistia liki acn Crete, ac mwet Syria liki acn Kir, oana ke nga tuh uskowosme liki acn Egypt.

Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith Jehovah. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

8 Nga, LEUM GOD Fulat, nga suiya tokosrai koluk se lun Israel inge, ac nga fah sukela liki faclu. Tusruktu nga fah tia kunausla nukewa mwet in fwil natul Jacob.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth: only that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith Jehovah.

9 “Nga fah sapkin in likliki mwet Israel oana ke mwet uh likliki puk. Nga fah osrokolosyak inmasrlon mutunfacl uh in srela mwet wangin sripa.

For behold, I command, and I will shake the house of Israel to and fro among all the nations, like as one shaketh [corn] in a sieve; yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

10 Mwet koluk inmasrlon mwet luk fah anwuki ke mweun — elos nukewa su fahk, ‘God El fah tia lela kutena mwe ongoiya in tuku nu facsr.’”

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, Evil shall not overtake nor befall us.

11 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Len se ac fah tuku ke nga ac fah sifil folokonak tokosrai lal David, su oana sie lohm ma ikori ac sruala. Nga fah tulokunak ac aksasuyela sinka kac. Nga fah sifilpa musaela ac orala tuh in oana pacl meet ah.

In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David which is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

12 Ouinge mwet Israel fah kutangla acn nukewa lula ke facl lun mwet Edom, oayapa mutunfacl nukewa su tuh ma luk meet. LEUM GOD El fahk ouinge, ac El ac fah oru oana ke El fahk.

that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations upon whom my name is called, saith Jehovah who doeth this.

13 LEUM GOD El fahk, “In kutu len fahsru, Matula lun wheat uh ac pisrpisr liki mwet kosrani, Ac kap lun grape uh fah sa liki na in orekla nu ke wain. Sronin grape uh ac fah sororla fineol ma kapak we, Ac kahkla pe eol uh.

Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, when the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop new wine, and all the hills shall melt.

14 Nga ac fah folokonma mwet luk nu in acn selos. Elos fah sifil musai siti selos ma musalla, ac muta we. Elos ac yukwi ima in grape ac nim wain kac. Elos ac yukwi ima srisrik lalos ac kang fahko kac.

And I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; and they shall make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

15 Nga fah yukwiya mwet luk fin acn ma nga tuh sang selos, Ac elos fah tia sifilpa fifyak.” LEUM GOD lom pa fahk ouinge.

And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them, saith Jehovah thy God.
