Amós 9
1 Vi al Señor junto a un lado del altar, y me dijo: da golpes a la parte superior de los pilares para que las puertas tiemblen: y dijo: y rómpelos sobre la cabeza de todos; Pondré el último de ellos a filo de la espada; si alguno de ellos sale huyendo, no se escapará, ninguno de ellos estará a salvo.
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 Incluso aunque caven hasta el Seol, mi mano los levantará desde allí; si suben al cielo, los bajaré: (Sheol h7585)
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 h7585)
3 Aunque se cubren en la cima del Carmelo, iré a buscarlos y los sacaré; aunque se mantengan alejados de mis ojos en el lecho del mar, le daré órdenes a la gran serpiente allí y él les dará un mordisco.
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 Y aunque sus atacantes se los lleven como prisioneros, incluso allí daré órdenes a la espada para matarlos: mis ojos estarán fijos en ellos para mal y no para bien.
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 el Señor, el Dios de los ejércitos, es aquel a cuyo toque la tierra se convierte en agua, y todos en ella serán entregados al dolor; todo se desbordará como el río y volverá a descender como el río de Egipto;
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 Es él quien hace sus habitaciones en el cielo, expandiendo su bóveda sobre la tierra; cuya voz sale a las aguas del mar y las envía fluyendo sobre la faz de la tierra; El Señor es su nombre.
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 ¿No son como los hijos de los etíopes para mí, oh hijos de Israel? dice el Señor ¿No he sacado a Israel de la tierra de Egipto, y a los filisteos de Creta, y a los arameos 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 Mira, los ojos del Señor están sobre el reino malvado, y yo lo pondré fin en toda la tierra; pero no enviaré destrucción completa a Jacob, dice el Señor.
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 verán, daré órdenes, y haré que Israel se mueva entre todas las naciones, como se mueve el grano al sacudir la bandeja, pero no se caerá la semilla más pequeña en la tierra.
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 los pecadores de mi pueblo serán castigados con la espada que digan: El mal no nos alcanzará ni se encontrará cara a cara con nosotros.
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 En aquel día levantaré él tabernáculo caído de David, cerraré sus portillos; y volveré a levantar sus ruinas, lo reedificare como en él tiempo pasado;
“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 el resto de Edom sea su herencia, y todas las naciones que han sido nombradas por mi nombre, dice el Señor, quien está haciendo esto.
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 Mira, vendrán días, dice el Señor, cuando el labrador alcanzará al que está cortando el grano, y la trituradora de las uvas al que está plantando semilla; y vino dulce caerá de las montañas, y las colinas se convertirán en arroyos de vino.
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 Y traeré de la cautividad a mi pueblo Israel, y volverán a construir las ciudades desiertas y vivirán en ellas; volverán a plantar viñedos y tomarán el vino para beber; y harán jardines y obtendrán el fruto de ellos.
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 Y los plantaré en su tierra, y nunca más serán desarraigados de su tierra que les he dado, dice el Señor su Dios.
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.”
