Amosa 9

1 Nahita ny Tompo nitsangana teo anilan’ ny alitara aho, ka hoy Izy: Asio ny kapitaly hihetsiketsehan’ ny tokonana, ary torotoroy hianjera amin’ ny lohan’ izy rehetra, ka izay sisa aminy dia hovonoiko amin’ ny sabatra; Ary tsy hisy afa-mandositra izy, sady tsy hisy izay sisa ho afaka akory.

I have seen the Lord standing by the altar, and He saith: 'Smite the knob, and the thresholds shake, And cut them off by the head — all of them, And their posterity with a sword I do slay, Not flee to them doth the fleer, Nor escape to them doth a fugitive.

2 Na dia mibosesika ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita aza izy, dia any no hanalan’ ny tanako azy; Ary na dia miakatra ho any an-danitra aza izy, dia avy any no hampidinako azy. (Sheol h7585)

If they dig through into sheol, From thence doth My hand take them, And if they go up the heavens, From thence I cause them to come down. (Sheol h7585)

3 Ary na dia miery any an-tampon’ i Karmela aza izy, dia any no hitadiavako sy hangalako azy; Ary na dia manafin-tena any ambanin’ ny ranomasina aza izy, mba tsy ho hitan’ ny masoko, dia any no handidiako ny menarana, ka hanaikitra azy.

And if they be hid in the top of Carmel, From thence I search out, and have taken them, And if they be hid from Mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, From thence I command the serpent, And it hath bitten them.

4 Ary na dia lasan-ko babo eo anoloan’ ny fahavalony aza izy, dia any no handidiako ny sabatra, ka hamono azy; Ary hampanandriniko azy ny masoko hahatonga ny loza aminy, fa tsy ny soa.

And if they go into captivity before their enemies, From thence I command the sword, And it hath slain them, And I have set Mine eye on them for evil, And not for good.

5 Ary Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no manendry ny tany, ka dia miempo izany, ka misaona ny mponina rehetra ao aminy; Ary dia hihatondraka tahaka an’ i Neily avokoa Izany, ary hihena indray izy toy ny Neilin’ i Egypta,

And [it is] the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Who is striking against the land, and it melteth, And mourned have all the inhabitants in it, And come up as a flood hath all of it, And it hath sunk — like the flood of Egypt.

6 Ary manao ny tranony ambony any an-danitra Izy, sady manorina ny andohalambony eny ambonin’ ny tany; Ary miantso ny rano eny an-dranomasina ka mampilatsaka azy eny amin’ ny tany, Jehovah no anarany.

Who is building in the heavens His upper chambers; As to His troop, Upon earth He hath founded it, Who is calling for the waters of the sea, And poureth them out on the face of the land, Jehovah [is] His name.

7 Moa tsy toy ny taranaky ny Etiopiana va ianareo raha amiko, ry Zanak’ Isiraely? hoy Jehovah. Tsy ny Isiraely va no nentiko nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta. Ary ny Filistina avy tany Kaftora, Ary ny Syriana avy tany Kira?

As sons of Cushim are ye not to Me? O sons of Israel — an affirmation of Jehovah. Israel did I not bring up out of the land of Egypt? And the Philistines from Caphtor, and Aram from Kir?

8 Indro, ny mason’ i Jehovah Tompo no manandrina ity fanjakana feno ota ity, ka dia hofongorako tsy ho eo ambonin’ ny tany izy; Kanefa tsy dia hofongorako avokoa ny taranak’ i Jakoba, hoy Jehovah.

Lo, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah [are] on the sinful kingdom, And I have destroyed it from off the face of the ground, Only, I destroy not utterly the house of Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah.

9 Fa, indro, Izaho no handidy, ka hosivaniko any amin’ ny firenena rehetra ny taranak’ Isiraely, tahaka ny fanasivana vary amin’ ny sivana; Nefa tsy hisy voam-bary ho latsaka amin’ ny tany na dia iray akory aza.

For lo, I am commanding, And I have shaken among all the nations the house of Israel, As [one] doth shake with a sieve, And there falleth not a grain [to] the earth.

10 Sabatra no hamonoana ny mpanota rehetra amin’ ny oloko, dia ireo izay manao hoe: Ny loza tsy hanakaiky na hahatratra anay.

By sword die do all sinners of My people, Who are saying, 'Not overtake, or go before, For our sakes, doth evil.'

11 Amin’ izany andro izany dia hatsangako indray ny trano-bongon’ i Davida izay efa nianjera, ary hotampenako ny efa banga ao; Ary hamboariko izay efa rava aminy, ka hataoko tahaka ny taloha izy,

In that day I raise the tabernacle of David, that is fallen, And I have repaired their breaches, And its ruins I do raise up, And I have built it up as in days of old.

12 Mba hananany izay sisa amin’ i Edoma sy amin’ ny jentilisa rehetra, izay hantsoina amin’ ny anarako, hoy Jehovah, Izay manao izany.

So that they possess the remnant of Edom, And all the nations on whom My name is called, An affirmation of Jehovah — doer of this.

13 Indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, Izay hahatraran’ ny mpiasa tany ny mpijinja, ary ny mpanosihosy voaloboka hahatratra ny mpamafy; Ny tendrombohitra hipoipoitra ranom-boaloboka, ary ny havoana rehetra hiempo.

Lo, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah, And come nigh hath the ploughman to the reaper, And the treader of grapes to the scatterer of seed, And the mountains have dropped juice, And all the hills do melt.

14 Ary hampodiko ny Isiraely avy amin’ ny fahababoana, dia hanangana ny tanàna efa rava izy ka honina ao, ary hanao tanim-boaloboka izy ka hisotro ny divay avy aminy; Hanao saha koa izy ka hihinana ny vokatra.

And I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel, And they have built desolate cities, and inhabited, And have planted vineyards, and drunk their wine, And made gardens, and eaten their fruit.

15 Eny, hamboleko ao amin’ ny taniny izy, ka tsy hongotana amin’ ny taniny izay nomeko azy intsony izy, Hoy Jehovah Andriamanitrao.

And I have planted them on their own ground, And they are not plucked up any more from off their own ground, That I have given to them, said Jehovah thy God!
