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 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 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 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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

But all the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, Who say, Evil shall not approach, nor fall 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 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 Le ho fanaña’ iareo ty sehanga’ i Dame naho o kilakila’ ondaty kanjieñe ami’ty añarakoo, hoe t’Iehovà mpanao izay.

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 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, 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 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.

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

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.
