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.
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 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)
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 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 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 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.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 “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?
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 “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.
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 “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.
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 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.’
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 “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,
“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 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.
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 “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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.”
