Amos 9

I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

Mwen fè yon vizyon, mwen wè Seyè a kanpe sou lotèl la. Li di konsa: -Frape tèt poto tanp lan jouk tout galeri a tranble. Kraze tèt poto yo pou yo tonbe an miyèt moso sou tèt moun yo. Rès ki pa mouri a, m'ap touye yo nan lagè. Yo yonn p'ap chape, yo yonn p'ap sove.

Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:

Menm si yo fouye twou pou yo antre nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, m'ap rale yo met deyò. Menm si yo ta moute anwo nan syèl la, m'ap rale yo desann.

And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:

Si y' al kache sou tèt mòn Kamèl, m'ap chache yo, m'ap mete men sou yo. Si y' al kache pou mwen nan fon lanmè, m'ap bay gwo sèpan lanmè a lòd pou l' mòde yo.

And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

Si lènmi fè yo prizonye pou l' ta mennen yo ale kite peyi yo a, m'ap bay lòd touye yo. M'ap voye je m' sou yo. Men, fwa sa a, se p'ap pou byen yo, se va pou malè yo.

And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, ap annik manyen latè, latè ap pran tranble. Tout moun ki rete sou latè ap nan lapenn. Latè ap moute, l'ap gonfle, epi l'ap bese tankou dlo larivyè Nil.

It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name.

Seyè a bati kay li anwo nan syèl la. Li mete vout syèl la anlè latè. Li rale dlo lanmè a, li vide l' sou tout latè. Yo rele li Seyè. Wi, se konsa yo rele l'.

Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

Men sa Seyè a di ankò: Nou menm, moun Izrayèl yo, mwen konsidere nou koulye a menm jan ak moun Letiopi yo. Se mwen menm, pa vre, ki te fè pèp Izrayèl la soti kite peyi Lejip? Se pa mwen menm tou ki te fè moun Filisti yo soti kite lil Lakrèt, epi ki te fè moun Siri yo soti lavil Kir?

Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD.

Mwen voye je m' sou pèp Izrayèl la, mwen wè jan yo lage kò yo nan fè sa ki mal. Mwen pral disparèt yo sou latè. Men, mwen p'ap fin touye tout pitit Jakòb yo nèt. Non. Mwen pa ka fè sa. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.

For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

Men, mwen pral pase yon lòd. Mwen pral vannen moun Izrayèl ki nan mitan lòt nasyon yo tankou yo vannen grenn nan laye. Pa menm yon bon grenn p'ap tonbe atè.

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

Tout moun nan pèp la k'ap fè sa ki mal pral mouri nan lagè. Yo tout k'ap plede di: O wi, Bondye p'ap kite malè rive nou, ni li p'ap kite malè tonbe sou nou, yo tout pral mouri nan lagè.

In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

Seyè a di: Yon jou gen pou rive! Jou sa a, m'a mete peyi wa David la kanpe ankò sou de pye l'. Koulye a li tankou yon kay k'ap fin kraze. Lè sa a, m'a repare tout kote ki fann yo. M'a refè miray ki te fin kraze yo. M'ap rebati peyi a jan l' te ye nan tan lontan an.

That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.

Konsa, pèp Izrayèl la va pran posesyon pòsyon ki rete nan peyi Edon an. Y'a donminen ankò sou lòt nasyon mwen te fè yo. Se Seyè a ki di sa, se li menm menm k'ap fè sa rive konsa!

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

Jou yo ap vini. Lè sa a, yo p'ap kò fin ranmase rekòt, y'ap gen tan ap pare tè pou plante ankò. Yo p'ap kò fin kraze rezen pou fè diven, y'ap gen tan ap pare pou mete pye rezen nan tè ankò. Diven byen dous ap koule sou tout mòn yo, l'ap koule desann sou tout ti mòn yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.

And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

M'ap mennen pèp mwen an tounen nan peyi l' ankò. Y'a rebati lavil ki te fin kraze yo, y'a rete ladan yo. Y'a plante jaden rezen, y'a bwè diven. Y'a fè bèl jaden, y'a manje rekòt jaden yo.

And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.

M'a plante pèp mwen an nan peyi yo a, nan peyi mwen te ba yo a. Pesonn p'ap janm ka derasinen yo ankò. Se Seyè a, Bondye a, ki pale.
