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

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 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 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 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 [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 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.

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 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?

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 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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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!
