< Amós 9 >
1 Vi o Senhor, que estava em pé sobre o altar, e me disse: Fere o capitel, e estremeçam os umbraes, e corta-lhes em pedaços a cabeça a todos elles; e eu matarei á espada até ao ultimo d'elles: o que fugir d'entre elles não escapará, nem o que escapar d'entre elles se salvará
Yahweh [showed me another vision. In the vision, ] I saw him standing next to the altar. He said, “Shake the tops of the pillars [of the temple], until they become loose and fall down, so that even the foundation will shake. Then cause the [pieces of the temple] to fall down on the people [who are inside]. I will kill with a sword anyone who [tries to] flee; no one will escape.
2 Ainda que cavem até ao inferno, a minha mão os tirará d'ali, e, se subirem ao céu, d'ali os farei descer. (Sheol )
If they dig deep pits in the ground, or if they try to climb up to the sky [in order to escape], I will reach out and grab them. (Sheol )
3 E, se se esconderem no cume do Carmelo, buscal-os-hei, e d'ali os tirarei; e, se se occultarem aos meus olhos no fundo do mar, ali darei ordem á serpente, e ella os morderá.
If they go to the top of Carmel [Mountain] to escape, I will search for them and seize them. If they [try to] hide from me at the bottom of the sea, I will command the [huge] sea monster to bite them.
4 E, se forem em captiveiro diante de seus inimigos, ali darei ordem á espada que os mate; e eu porei o meu olho sobre elles para mal, e não para bem.
If their enemies [capture them and] force them to go to other countries, I will command that they be killed there with swords. I am determined [IDM] to get rid of them, not to help them.”
5 Porque o Senhor Jehovah dos Exercitos é o que toca a terra, e ella se derreterá, e todos os que habitam n'ella chorarão; e ella subirá toda como um rio, e submergirá como pelo rio do Egypto.
When the Commander of the armies of angels touches the earth, it melts, and all over the earth [many people die, and the others] mourn for them. [It is as though] Yahweh causes the earth repeatedly to rise and fall like [SIM] the Nile [River] rises and falls.
6 Elle é o que edifica os seus degraus no céu, e o seu esquadrão fundou na terra, e o que chama as aguas do mar, e as derrama sobre a terra: o Senhor é o seu nome.
He builds his [beautiful] palace in heaven, and sets/causes the sky to be like a dome over the earth. He scoops up the water from the ocean and [puts it into clouds], and then empties [the clouds] onto the earth. His name is Yahweh.
7 Não me sois, vós, ó filhos de Israel, como os filhos dos ethiopes? diz o Senhor; não fiz eu subir a Israel da terra do Egypto, e aos philisteos de Caphtor, e aos syrios de Kir
And Yahweh says, “You people of Israel, you are certainly [RHQ] [now no more important to me] than the people of Ethiopia. I brought your [ancestors] here from Egypt, but I also brought the people of Philistia from Crete [Island], and I brought the people of Syria from the Kir [region].
8 Eis que os olhos do Senhor Jehovah estão contra este reino peccador, e eu o destruirei de sobre a face da terra, excepto que não destruirei de todo a casa de Jacob, diz o Senhor.
I [SYN], Yahweh the Lord, have seen that you people in the kingdom [of Israel] are very sinful, so I will (destroy you/wipe you off the earth). But I will not get rid of all you descendants [MTY] of Jacob. [That is what will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
9 Porque eis que darei ordem, e sacudirei a casa de Israel entre todas as nações, assim como se sacode grão no crivo, sem que caia na terra um só grão.
When I command it, [it will be as though] I will shake you Israeli people [who are living] in various nations, like [MET] [a farmer] shakes a sieve [to separate] the stone pebbles [from the grain], in order that they do not fall on the ground [with the grain].
10 Todos os peccadores do meu povo morrerão á espada, os que dizem: Não se avisinhará nem nos encontrará o mal.
From among my people, all you sinful people who say, ‘We will not experience disasters; nothing evil will happen to us,’ will be killed by [your enemies’] swords.”
11 N'aquelle dia tornarei a levantar a caida tenda de David, e cercarei as suas aberturas, e tornarei a levantar as suas ruinas, e a edificarei como nos dias da antiguidade;
“The kingdom [over which King] David [ruled has been destroyed, like] [MET] a house that collapsed and then became ruins. But some day I will cause it to be a kingdom again. I will cause it to prosper again just like it did previously.
12 Para que possuam o restante de Edom, e todas as nações que são chamadas pelo meu nome, diz o Senhor, que faz isto.
When that happens, your [armies] will seize/capture the remaining part of Edom [region] again, and they will also seize the land in other nations that previously belonged to me [MTY]. I, Yahweh, have said [that I will do these things], and I will certainly cause them to happen.
13 Eis que veem dias, diz o Senhor, em que o que lavra alcançará ao que sega, e o que piza as uvas ao que semeia a semente, e os montes distillarão mosto, e todos os outeiros se derreterão.
There will be a time [when your crops will grow very well]. Very soon after the crops are harvested, farmers will plow the ground [to plant more crops in it again], and soon after the vineyards are planted, [farmers will harvest] grapes and tread on them [to make wine]. [And because there will be a lot of] wine, [it will seem as though] wine is flowing down from the hills [DOU].
14 E tornarei o captiveiro do meu povo Israel, e reedificarão as cidades assoladas, e n'ellas habitarão, e plantarão vinhas, e beberão o seu vinho, e farão jardins, e lhes comerão o fructo.
I will cause you, my Israeli people, to prosper again. You will rebuild your towns and live in them. You will plant vineyards and then drink the wine [made from the grapes that grows in them].
15 E os plantarei na sua terra, e não serão mais arrancados da sua terra que lhes dei, diz o Senhor teu Deus.
I will enable you to live [MET] in your land again, the land that I gave to [your ancestors], and never again will you be forced to leave it. [That is what will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
