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 by the altar; and he said: Smite the capital, so that the thresholds shall tremble! Break them in pieces upon the heads of all of them! And their residue will I slay with the sword. He that fleeth of them shall not flee from danger, And he that escapeth of them shall not escape into safety.

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 down to the under-world, Thence shall my hand take them; 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.

Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, There will I search for them, and take them away; Though they hide themselves from mine eyes in the bottom 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.”

Though they go into captivity before their enemies, There will I command the sword, and it shall slay them; 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.

For the Lord Jehovah of hosts Is he, that toucheth the earth, and it shall melt, And all that dwell therein shall mourn; All of it shall rise in waves like a river, And shall be overflowed, as by 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 upper rooms in the heavens, And foundeth his arch upon the earth, —That calleth 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 the Ethiopians to me, O children of Israel? saith Jehovah. Did I not bring Israel from 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 the face of the earth; Yet will I 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 will command, And I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, As one sifteth corn with a sieve, And not a grain shall fall upon 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.’”

But all the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, Who say, Evil shall not approach, nor fall 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 fallen tabernacle of David, And I will close up the breaches thereof, And 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, which shall be called by my name. Thus 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, That the plougher shall draw near to the reaper, And the treader of grapes to the sower of the 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.

I will bring back the captives of my people Israel, And they shall build the desolate cities, and shall inhabit them; And they shall plant vineyards, and drink their wine; They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.

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.

I will plant them in their land, And they shall no more be rooted up from the land which I have given them, Saith Jehovah, thy God.
