Amos 9

1 Mo rí Olúwa, ó dúró ní ẹ̀bá pẹpẹ, ó sì wí pé: “Lu orí àwọn àtẹ́rígbà ìlẹ̀kùn kí àwọn òpó kí ó lè mì fọ́ wọn sí orí àwọn gbogbo ènìyàn àwọn tí ó ṣẹ́kù ni èmi yóò fi idà pa, ẹni tí ó sálọ nínú wọn kí yóò sá gbé, ẹni ti ó sá àsálà nínú wọn kí yóò gbàlà.

I saw the Lord standing on the altar: and he said, Smite the mercy-seat, and the porch shall be shaken: and cut through into the heads of all; and I will slay the remnant of them with the sword: no one of them fleeing shall escape, and no one of them, striving to save himself shall be delivered.

2 Bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ wa ilẹ̀ lọ sí ipò òkú, láti ibẹ̀ ni ọwọ́ mi yóò ti tẹ̀ wọ́n. Bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ gun òkè ọ̀run lọ, láti ibẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ti mú wọn sọ̀kalẹ̀. (Sheol h7585)

Though they hid themselves in hell, thence shall my hand drag them forth; and though they go up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

3 Bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ fi ara wọn pamọ́ ni orí òkè Karmeli, èmi yóò wá wọn rí, Èmi yóò si mú wọn kúrò níbẹ̀. Bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ fi ara pamọ́ fún mi sí ìsàlẹ̀ Òkun, láti ibẹ̀ ni Èmi yóò ti pàṣẹ fún ejò kí ó bù wọ́n ṣán.

If they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, thence will I search [them] out and take them; and if they should go down from my presence into the depths of the sea, there will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them.

4 Bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ lọ sí ìgbèkùn ní iwájú àwọn ọ̀tá wọn láti ibẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ti pàṣẹ fún idà kí ó ṣá wọn pa. “Èmi yóò sì tẹ ojú mi mọ́ wọn fún ìbí, kì í sì í ṣe fún rere.”

And if they should go into captivity before the face of their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes against them for evil, and not for good.

5 Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, ẹni ti ó fi ọwọ́ kan ilẹ̀ náà tí ó sì yọ́, tí àwọn olùgbé inú rẹ̀ yóò sì ṣọ̀fọ̀; gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè yóò si ru sókè bí ríru odò Naili tiwọn yóò sì tẹ̀rì bí odò Ejibiti.

And the Lord, the Lord God Almighty, [is he] that takes hold of the land, and causes it to shake, and all that inhabit it shall mourn; and its destruction shall go up as a river, and shall descend as the river of Egypt.

6 Òun ni ẹni tí ó kọ́ ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọ̀run ti ó sì fi ìpìlẹ̀ rẹ̀ sọlẹ̀ ní ilé ayé, Ẹni ti ó pe àwọn omi Òkun ti ó sì tú wọn jáde si orí ilé ayé Olúwa ni orúkọ rẹ̀.

[It is he] that builds his ascent up to the sky, and establishes his promise on the earth; who calls the water of the sea, and pours it out on the face of the earth; the Lord Almighty is his name.

7 “Àbá ẹ̀yin ọmọ Israẹli kò ha dàbí àwọn ọmọ Kuṣi sí mi?” ni Olúwa wí. “Èmi kò ha ti mú Israẹli gòkè láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti jáde wá àti àwọn Filistini láti ilẹ̀ Kafitori àti àwọn ará Aramu láti Kiri?

Are not ye to me as the sons of the Ethiopians, O children of Israel? saith the Lord. Did I not bring Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of the deep?

8 “Dájúdájú, ojú Olúwa Olódùmarè ń bẹ̀ lára ilẹ̀ ọba tó kún fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀. Èmi yóò pa á run kúrò lórí ilẹ̀. Síbẹ̀, Èmi kò nípa ilé Jakọbu run pátápátá,” ni Olúwa wí.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the kingdom of sinners, and I will cut it off from the face of the earth; only I will not utterly cut off the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.

9 “Nítorí Èmi yóò pàṣẹ, Èmi yóò sì mi ilé Israẹli ní àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè bí a ti ń jọ nǹkan nínú ajọ̀ tí hóró kín ń kín kì yóò bọ́ sórí ilẹ̀.

For I [will] give commandment, and sift the house of Israel among all the Gentiles, as [corn] is sifted in a sieve, and [yet] a fragment shall not in any wise fall upon the earth.

10 Gbogbo àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ láàrín àwọn ènìyàn mi ni yóò ti ipa idà kú gbogbo àwọn ti ń wí pé, ‘Aburú kì yóò lé wa bá, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì yóò ká wa mọ́.’

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, Calamities shall certainly not draw near, nor come upon us.

11 “Ní ọjọ́ náà ní Èmi yóò gbé àgọ́ Dafidi tí ó wó ró, Èmi yóò dí odi rẹ̀ tí ó ya, Èmi yóò sì gbé ahoro rẹ̀ sókè, Èmi yóò sì kọ bí ti ọjọ́ ìgbàanì,

In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and will rebuild the ruins of it, and will set up the parts thereof that have been broken down, and will build it up as in the ancient days:

12 kí wọn le jogún ìyókù Edomu àti gbogbo àwọn kèfèrí, ti a ń pè nípa orúkọ mi,” ni Olúwa, ẹni tí yóò ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí wí.

that the remnant of men, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name is called, may earnestly seek [me], saith the Lord who does all these things.

13 “Ọjọ́ náà ń bọ,” ni Olúwa wí, “tí ẹni tí ń tulẹ̀ yóò lé ẹni tí ń kórè bá. Tí ẹni tí ń fún èso àjàrà yóò lé ẹni tí ń gbìn bá. Àwọn òkè ńlá yóò sì kán ọtí wáìnì sílẹ̀, tí yóò sì sàn láti ara àwọn òkè kéékèèké.

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when the harvest shall overtake the vintage, and the grapes shall ripen at seedtime; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall be planted.

14 Èmi yóò si tún mú ìgbèkùn Israẹli ènìyàn mi padà bọ̀. “Wọn yóò sì kọ́ ahoro ìlú, wọn yóò sì máa gbé inú wọn. Wọn yóò sì gbin ọgbà àjàrà, wọn yóò sì mu ọtí wáìnì wọn wọn yóò sì ṣe ọgbà pẹ̀lú, wọn yóò sì jẹ èso inú wọn.

And I will turn the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities, and shall inhabit [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and shall drink the wine from them; and they shall form gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

15 Èmi yóò gbin Israẹli sí orí ilẹ̀ rẹ̀. A kì yóò sì fà wọn tu mọ́ láéláé kúrò ni orí ilẹ̀ ti mo fi fún wọn,” ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ wí.

And I will plant them on their land, and they shall no more be plucked up from the land which I have given them, saith the Lord God Almighty.
