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 upon the altar; and he said, Smite the capital, that the sills may quake; and break them in pieces over the head of all of them; and their posterity will I slay with the sword: there shall not flee away from them one that fleeth, and there shall not escape from them one that is 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)

Though they were to creep down into the nether world, thence would my hand fetch them; and though they were to climb up to the heavens, thence would I bring 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 though they were to hide themselves on the top of Carmel, thence would I search and take them out; and though they were to conceal themselves from before my eyes in the bottom of the sea, thence would I command the serpent, that he should 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 though they were to go into captivity before their enemies, thence would I command the sword, that it should slay them: and I will set my eye upon them for evil, 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 Eternal of hosts it is that toucheth the earth, and she melteth away, and all that dwell thereon shall mourn; and she riseth up like a stream wholly; and she sinketh like the stream 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.

That buildeth in the heavens his steps, and hath founded his vault over the earth; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out 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?

Are ye not like the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord: have I not brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

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 Eternal are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; save only that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith 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, lo, I will give the command, and I will shake about among all the nations the house of Israel, as one shaketh things in a sieve, while not the least piece falleth down upon the earth.

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

By the sword shall die all the sinners of my people, who say, The evil will not come near [us], nor hasten along for our sake.

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;

On that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David which is fallen; and I will close up its breaches; and its ruins will I raise up, and I will rebuild it as in days of old:

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

In order that they may take possession of the remnant of Edom, and of all the nations, which are called by my name, saith the Lord that doth 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, days are coming, saith the Lord, when the ploughman shall come close up to the harvester, and the treader of the grapes to the one that scattereth the seed: and the mountains shall drop with sweet new wine, and all the hills shall melt away.

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 bring back the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the wasted cities, and dwell therein; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink their wine; and they shall lay out gardens, and eat their fruit.

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 upon their own soil, and they shall not be pulled up any more out of their land which I have given unto them, saith the Lord thy God.
