Amosi 9

1 Namonaki Yawe atelemi pene ya etumbelo, mpe alobaki: « Buka makonzi ya Tempelo mpo ete ndako mobimba eningana mpe ekweyela bato nyonso na mito. Bato oyo bakotikala, nakoboma bango na mopanga. Moko te akokima, moko te akobika.

I saw the Lord stationed by the side of the altar, giving blows to the tops of the pillars so that the doorsteps were shaking: and he said, I will let all of them be broken with earth-shocks; I will put the last of them to the sword: if any one of them goes in flight he will not get away, not one of them will be safe.

2 Soki bakimi na se ya mabele, na mboka ya bakufi, loboko na Ngai ekobimisa bango kuna; soki bakimi na Lola, nakokitisa bango na se. (Sheol h7585)

Even if they go deep into the underworld, my hand will take them up from there; if they go up to heaven, I will get them down: (Sheol h7585)

3 Soki babombami na songe ya ngomba Karimeli, nakokanga bango mpe nakokitisa bango na se; soki babombami Ngai na se ya ebale monene, nakopesa mitindo na nyoka ete eswa bango kuna.

Though they take cover on the top of Carmel, I will go in search of them and get them out; though they keep themselves from my eyes in the bed of the sea, I will give orders to the great snake there and he will give them a bite:

4 Ezala banguna na bango bamemi bango na bowumbu, nakopesa mitindo na mopanga ete eboma bango kuna. Miso na Ngai ekozala likolo na bango mpo na kosala bango mabe, kasi bolamu te.

And though they are taken away as prisoners by their attackers, even there will I give orders to the sword to put them to death: my eyes will be fixed on them for evil and not for good.

5 Soki Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, asimbi mabele, mabele eninganaka, mpe bavandi na yango nyonso bakomaka na matanga, mokili mobimba etelemaka lokola ebale Nili mpe ekawukaka lokola mayi ya Ejipito.

For the Lord, the God of armies, is he at whose touch the land is turned to water, and everyone in it will be given up to sorrow; all of it will be overflowing like the River, and will go down again like the River of Egypt;

6 Yawe atonga ndako na Ye kati na Lola mpe atia miboko na yango na mabele; abengaka mayi ya ebale monene mpe asopaka yango na etando ya mabele. Kombo na Ye ezali: Yawe.

It is he who makes his rooms in the heaven, basing his arch on the earth; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, and sends them flowing over the face of the earth; the Lord is his name.

7 Bino bana ya Isalaele, boni, bokokani te na bato ya mokili ya Kushi? » elobi Yawe. « Boni, nabimisaki te Isalaele wuta na Ejipito, bato ya Filisitia wuta na Kreti, bato ya Siri wuta na Kiri?

Are you not as the children of the Ethiopians to me, O children of Israel? says the Lord. Have I not taken Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Aramaeans from Kir?

8 Solo, miso ya Nkolo Yawe ezali kotala bokonzi ya masumu; nakobebisa mpe nakolongola yango na mabele. Nzokande, nakobebisa te libota mobimba ya Jakobi, » elobi Yawe.

See, the eyes of the Lord are on the evil kingdom, and I will put an end to it in all the earth; but I will not send complete destruction on Jacob, says the Lord.

9 « Pamba te nakopesa mitindo mpe nakoningisa libota ya Isalaele kati na bikolo nyonso ndenge bayungolaka ble; bongo ata mbuma moko te ya moke ekokweya na se.

For see, I will give orders, and I will have Israel moved about among all the nations, as grain is moved about by the shaking of the tray, but not the smallest seed will be dropped on the earth.

10 Bato nyonso ya masumu kati na bato na Ngai bakokufa na mopanga, ba-oyo nyonso balobaka: ‹ Pasi ekotikala te kozwa to kokomela biso! ›

All those sinners among my people will be put to the sword who say, Evil will not overtake us or come face to face with us.

11 Na mokolo wana, nakotonga lisusu ndako ya Davidi oyo ekweya, nakobamba madusu na yango, nakotelemisa lisusu bamir na yango oyo ebukana mpe nakotonga yango lisusu ndenge ezalaka kala,

In that day I will put up the tent of David which has come down, and make good its broken places; and I will put up again his damaged walls, building it up as in the past;

12 mpo ete bakoka kozwa ndambo ya mokili ya Edomi oyo etikalaki, mpe ya bikolo nyonso oyo babengamaka na Kombo na Ngai, » elobi Yawe oyo asalaka makambo wana nyonso.

So that the rest of Edom may be their heritage, and all the nations who have been named by my name, says the Lord, who is doing this.

13 « Mikolo ezali koya, » elobi Yawe, « mikolo oyo mosali bilanga akobuka bambuma na yango noki, mpe moloni elanga ya vino akokamola vino noki. Vino ya sika ekobota na bangomba milayi mpe ekosopana na bangomba mikuse nyonso.

See, the days will come, says the Lord, when the ploughman will overtake him who is cutting the grain, and the crusher of the grapes him who is planting seed; and sweet wine will be dropping from the mountains, and the hills will be turned into streams of wine.

14 Nakozongisa Isalaele, bato na Ngai, oyo bakendeki na bowumbu, mpe bakotonga lisusu bingumba oyo ebebisamaki mpe bakovanda kati na yango. Bakolona banzete ya vino mpe bakomela vino na yango, bakolona bilanga mpe bakolia bambuma na yango.

And I will let the fate of my people Israel be changed, and they will be building up again the waste towns and living in them; they will again be planting vine-gardens and taking the wine for their drink; and they will make gardens and get the fruit of them.

15 Nakolona bango na mabele na bango moko, mpe bakotikala kopikola bango lisusu te na mabele oyo napesaki bango, » elobi Yawe, Nzambe na yo.

And I will have them planted in their land, and never again will they be uprooted from their land which I have given them, says the Lord your God.
