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: 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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!

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 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 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 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 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 “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 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 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 fall by the sword: who say: The evils shall not approach, and shall not come upon 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 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 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 nations, because my name is invoked upon them: saith the Lord that doth these things.

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