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 standing beside the altar, and he said, “Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake. Break them in pieces on the head of all of them. I will kill the last of them with the sword. Not one of them will flee away. Not one of them will escape.

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)

Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring 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 hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out from there; and though they be hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.

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.

Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes 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 who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink 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 builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface 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 like the children of the Ethiopians to me, children of Israel?” says the LORD. “Haven’t I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians 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.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth, except that I will not utterly destroy the house of 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 behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel will fall 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 the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil won’t overtake nor meet 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 raise up the tent of David who is fallen and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old,

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.

that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name,” says the LORD who does 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.

“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.

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.

I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.

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

I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them,” says the LORD your God.
