Amoos 9

1 Utuu Gooftaan iddoo aarsaa bira dhaabatuu nan arge; innis akkana jedhe: “Akka buusaawwan balbalaa raafamaniif fiixee utubaa dhaʼi. Mataa nama hundaa irratti gad isaan harcaasi; warra hafe immoo anatu goraadeedhaan fixa. Tokkoon isaanii iyyuu baqatanii hin baʼan; isaan keessaa namni tokko iyyuu hin miliqu.

I saw the Lord standing over an altar, and he said: “Strike the hinges, and let the lintels be shaken. For there is avarice at the head of them all, and I will execute the very last of them with the sword. There will be no escape for them. They will flee, and he who flees from among them will not be saved.

2 Yoo isaan boolla qilee qotatan iyyuu harki koo achii isaan fuudha. Yoo isaan samiitti ol baʼan iyyuu ani achii gad isaan nan buusa. (Sheol h7585)

If they descend even to the underworld, from there my hand will draw them out; and if they ascend even to the sky, from there will I pull them down. (Sheol h7585)

3 Yoo isaan fiixee Qarmeloos irra dhokatan iyyuu, ani achii adamsee qabee gad isaan nan fida. Yoo isaan galaana jala na dhokatan iyyuu, ani akka inni achitti isaan idduuf bofa itti nan ajaja.

And if they were hiding at the top of Carmel, when searching there, I would steal them away, and if they conceal themselves from my eyes in the depths of the sea, I will command the serpent there and he will bite them.

4 Yoo diinonni isaanii boojiʼanii isaan fudhatan, achitti goraadee isaan fixxu itti nan ajaja. “Ani waan gaariidhaaf utuu hin taʼin waan hamaadhaaf ija koo isaan irra nan buusa.”

And if they go into captivity in the sight of their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. And I will set my eyes over them for harm and not for good.”

5 Gooftaan, Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu lafa ni tuqa; isheenis ni baqxi; wanni ishee irra jiraatu hundinuu ni booʼa; biyyattiin guutuun akka laga Abbayyaa ol kaati; ergasiis akka laga Gibxi gad galti;

And the Lord God of hosts, he touches the earth and it will melt. And all who dwell in it will mourn. And everyone will rise up like a river, and will flow away like the river of Egypt.

6 inni darbii isaa ol dheeraa samii irratti ijaarratee hundee isaa lafa irra dhaabbatu, inni bishaanota galaanaa waamee fuula lafaa irratti gad roobsu sun maqaan isaa Waaqayyo.

He establishes his ascension into heaven, and he has founded his bundle on the earth. He calls the waters of the ocean, and pours them over the face of the earth. The Lord is his name.

7 “Isin Israaʼeloonni anaaf akkuma saba Itoophiyaa mitii?” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ani Israaʼeloota biyya Gibxiitii, Filisxeemota Kaftoorii, warra Sooriyaa immoo Qiirii baasee hin fidnee?

Sons of Israel, are you not like the sons of the Ethiopians to me, says the Lord? Did I not cause Israel to rise up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines out of Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of Cyrene?

8 “Dhugumaan iji Waaqayyo Gooftaa mootummaa cubbamaa irra jira. Ani fuula lafaa irraa isa nan balleessa; taʼus ani guutumaan guutuutti mana Yaaqoob hin balleessu” jedha Waaqayyo.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinning kingdom, and I will wipe it from the face of the earth. Though truly, when destroying, I will not wipe away the house of Jacob, says the Lord.

9 “Ani ajaja kennee akkuma midhaan gingilchaadhaan gingilfamee iji tokko iyyuu lafa hin buune sana saboota hunda gidduutti mana Israaʼel nan gingilcha.

For behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, as wheat is sifted in a sieve. And not even one small stone will fall to the ground.

10 Cubbamoonni saba koo gidduu jiraatan hundi Warri, ‘Balaan nu hin argatu yookaan nutti hin dhufu’ jedhan hundi goraadeedhaan dhumu.

All the sinners of my people will die by the sword. They say, “Disaster will not come near us, and it will not overcome us.”

11 “Ani bara sana keessa dunkaana Daawit “Kan kufe sana deebisee nan dhaaba. Kan tarsaʼes walitti nan supha; diigamaa isaa iddootti deebisee akka duraatti nan ijaara;

In that day, I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which is fallen. And I will repair the breaches in its walls, and I will restore that which collapsed. And I will rebuild it, just as in the days of antiquity,

12 kunis akka isaan hambaa Edoomii fi saboota maqaa kootiin waamaman hunda dhaalaniif” jedha Waaqayyo, inni waan kana hojjetu.

so that they may possess the remnant of Idumea and all the nations, for my name has been invoked over them, says the Lord who does this.

13 Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Kunoo, barri itti namni haamu tokko isa qotu qaqqabu, “namni wayinii dhaabu immoo isa cuunfu qaqqabu tokko ni dhufa; Daadhiin wayinii haaraan tulluuwwan irraa ni coccopha; gaarran hunda keessaas ni yaaʼa.

Behold, the days pass, says the Lord, and the plower will overtake the harvester, and the treader of grapes will overtake the sower of seed. And the mountains will drip sweetness, and every hill will be cultivated.

14 Ani saba koo Israaʼelin boojuudhaa nan deebisa. “Isaanis magaalaawwan diigaman deebisanii ijaaranii keessa ni jiraatu. Isaan wayinii dhaabanii, daadhii wayinii isaanii ni dhugu; isaan biqiltuu dhaabbatanii ija isaa ni nyaatu.

And I will turn back the captivity of my people Israel. And they will rebuild the deserted cities and inhabit them. And they will plant vineyards and drink their wine. And they will create gardens and eat their fruits.

15 Ani Israaʼeloota biyya ofii isaanii keessa nan dhaaba; isaan biyya ani isaaniif kenne keessaa lammata hin buqqifaman,” jedha Waaqayyo Waaqni kee.

And I will plant them on their own soil. And I will no longer root them out of their own land, which I have given them, says the Lord your God.
