Amosa 9

1 Nitreako nijohañe añ’ila’ i kitreliy t’i Talè, le hoe re: Vangò o tokona’eo, hiezeñezeña’ o tsotsò’eo, hampidemodemohañe o loha’eo; vaho ho zamaneko am-pibara ty sisa’e; tsy ho aman-tsehanga’e hioratse; tsy hipoliotse ty honka’e.

I saw the Lord standing on the altar: and he said, Strike the mercy-seat, and the porch shall be shaken: and cut through into the heads of all; and I will kill the remnant of them with the sword: no one of them fleeing shall escape, and no one of them, striving to save himself shall be delivered.

2 Ndra t’ie mihaly mb’an-Tsikeokeok’ ao, le hakare’ ty tañako, ndra t’ie manganike mb’an-dindi-mb’eo, hampizotsoeko. (Sheol h7585)

Though they hid themselves in hell, thence shall my hand drag them forth; and though they go up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

3 Ndra t’ie mietak’ an-kaboa’ i Karmele ao, ho kodebèko le hakareko boak’ao; ndra t’ie mikafitse am-pahaisahako ambane’ i riakey ao, le ho tokaveko boak’ ao i fañaneñey handrimita’e.

If they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, thence will I search [them] out and take them; and if they should go down from my presence into the depths of the sea, there will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them.

4 Aa ndra te misese mb’an-drohy aolo’ o rafelahi’eo mb’eo iereo, boak’ añe ty hitokavako i fibaray hanjamañe; hentea’ o masokoo ho an-kankàñe, fa tsy ho ami’ty hasoa.

And if they should go into captivity before the face of their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall kill them: and I will set mine eyes against them for evil, and not for good.

5 Ie mipaoke i taney t’Iehovà, Talè’ i màroy, hitranaha’e, le miharovetse iaby o mpimoneñeo; ie hionjoñe manahake ty fisorotombahañe, naho hizetse manahake i Saka’ i Mitsraimeiy.

And the Lord, the Lord God Almighty, [is he] that takes hold of the land, and causes it to shake, and all that inhabit it shall mourn; and its destruction shall go up as a river, and shall descend as the river of Egypt.

6 I mpandranjy o fanonga’e andikerañeo, naho nañoreñe i tafo’e bontoly ambone’ ty tane toy; I mikanjy o ranon-driakeo vaho adoandoa’e an-tarehe’ ty tane toiy; Iehovà ty tahina’e.

[It is he] that builds his ascent up to the sky, and establishes his promise on the earth; who calls the water of the sea, and pours it out on the face of the earth; the Lord Almighty is his name.

7 O ry ana’Israeleo, tsy ho hambañe amo tiri’ i Kosio amako hao nahareo? hoe t’Iehovà. Tsy Izaho hao ty nañakatse Israele an-tane’ i Mitsraime ao? Naho o nte-Pilistio boake Kaftore naho o nte-Arameo boake Kire?

Are not you to me as the sons of the Ethiopians, O children of Israel? says the Lord. Did I not bring Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of the deep?

8 Inao! miatreatre o fifeheañe lifotse hakeoo o fihaino’ Iehovà, Talèo, vaho harotsako an-tarehe’ ty tane toy, fa tsy ho fonga mongoreko ty anjomba’ Iakobe, hoe t’Iehovà.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the kingdom of sinners, and I will cut it off from the face of the earth; only I will not utterly cut off the house of Jacob, says the Lord.

9 Inao te mandily iraho, vaho ho tsararaheko amo kilakila’ ondatio ty anjomba’ Israele manahake ty fitsararahañe tsako an-tsikelo, fa leo voa’e raike tsy hipok’ an-tane.

For I [will] give commandment, and sift the house of Israel among all the Gentiles, as [corn] is sifted in a sieve, and [yet] a fragment shall not in any wise fall upon the earth.

10 Songa havetram-pibara o mpanan-tahiñe am’ondatikoo, o manao ty hoe: Tsy hitotofa’e, tsy hifanalaka ama’ay ty hankàñe.

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, Calamities shall certainly not draw near, nor come upon us.

11 Haonjoko amy andro zay ty kiboho’ i Davide nikoromakey naho hakatoko o vinàkio; naho hatroako o nihotrakeo, vaho hamboareko manahake tañ’andro taolo;

In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and will rebuild the ruins of it, and will set up the parts thereof that have been broken down, and will build it up as in the ancient days:

12 Le ho fanaña’ iareo ty sehanga’ i Dame naho o kilakila’ ondaty kanjieñe ami’ty añarakoo, hoe t’Iehovà mpanao izay.

that the remnant of men, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name is called, may earnestly seek [me], says the Lord who does all these things.

13 Inao, ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, te ho losore’ ty mpitrabake ty mpanatake naho ty mpandia valoboke ty mpitongy tabiry; le hamopoke divay mamy o vohitseo, hikararake boak’an-kaboañeo.

Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when the harvest shall overtake the vintage, and the grapes shall ripen at seed time; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall be planted.

14 Le hafoteko ty fandrohiza’ ondatiko Israeleo, naho haore’ iereo o tanàn-taoloo, himoneña’ iareo; naho hambole tanem-baloboke, naho hinoñe divay ama’e, naho hañalahala golobon-traka, vaho ho kamae’ iareo o voka’eo.

And I will turn the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities, and shall inhabit [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and shall drink the wine from them; and they shall form gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

15 Ie hamboleko an-tane’ iareo eo, vaho tsy hombotañe amy tane’ natoloko iareoy ka, hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare.

And I will plant them on their land, and they shall no more be plucked up from the land which I have given them, says the Lord God Almighty.
