Amos 9
New International Version
Israel to Be Destroyed
9 I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said:
“Strike the tops of the pillars
so that the thresholds shake.
Bring them down on the heads(A) of all the people;
those who are left I will kill with the sword.
Not one will get away,
none will escape.(B)
2 Though they dig down to the depths below,(C)
from there my hand will take them.
Though they climb up to the heavens above,(D)
from there I will bring them down.(E)
3 Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,(F)
there I will hunt them down and seize them.(G)
Though they hide from my eyes at the bottom of the sea,(H)
there I will command the serpent(I) to bite them.(J)
4 Though they are driven into exile by their enemies,
there I will command the sword(K) to slay them.
5 The Lord, the Lord Almighty—
he touches the earth and it melts,(O)
and all who live in it mourn;
the whole land rises like the Nile,
then sinks like the river of Egypt;(P)
6 he builds his lofty palace[a](Q) in the heavens
and sets its foundation[b] on the earth;
he calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out over the face of the land—
the Lord is his name.(R)
7 “Are not you Israelites
the same to me as the Cushites[c]?”(S)
declares the Lord.
“Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt,
the Philistines(T) from Caphtor[d](U)
and the Arameans from Kir?(V)
8 “Surely the eyes of the Sovereign Lord
are on the sinful kingdom.
I will destroy(W) it
from the face of the earth.
Yet I will not totally destroy
the descendants of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.(X)
9 “For I will give the command,
and I will shake the people of Israel
among all the nations
as grain(Y) is shaken in a sieve,(Z)
and not a pebble will reach the ground.(AA)
10 All the sinners among my people
will die by the sword,(AB)
all those who say,
‘Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’(AC)
Israel’s Restoration
11 “In that day
“I will restore David’s(AD) fallen shelter(AE)—
I will repair its broken walls
and restore its ruins(AF)—
and will rebuild it as it used to be,(AG)
12 so that they may possess the remnant of Edom(AH)
and all the nations that bear my name,[e](AI)”
declares the Lord, who will do these things.(AJ)
13 “The days are coming,”(AK) declares the Lord,
“when the reaper(AL) will be overtaken by the plowman(AM)
and the planter by the one treading(AN) grapes.
New wine(AO) will drip from the mountains
and flow from all the hills,(AP)
14 and I will bring(AQ) my people Israel back from exile.[f](AR)
“They will rebuild the ruined cities(AS) and live in them.
They will plant vineyards(AT) and drink their wine;
they will make gardens and eat their fruit.(AU)
15 I will plant(AV) Israel in their own land,(AW)
never again to be uprooted(AX)
from the land I have given them,”(AY)
says the Lord your God.(AZ)

9 Vi al Señor de pie junto al altar(A), y me dijo:
Golpea los capiteles y que se estremezcan los umbrales(B),
y rómpelos sobre la cabeza de todos(C).
Entonces mataré a espada al resto de ellos(D);
no habrá entre ellos fugitivo que huya(E),
ni refugiado de ellos que escape.
2 Aunque caven hasta el Seol[a](F),
de allí los tomará mi mano;
y aunque suban al cielo,
de allí los haré bajar(G).
3 Aunque se escondan en la cumbre del Carmelo,
allí[b] los buscaré y los tomaré(H);
aunque se oculten de[c] mis ojos en el fondo del mar(I),
allí[d] ordenaré a la serpiente que los muerda(J).
4 Aunque vayan al cautiverio delante de sus enemigos,
allí[e] ordenaré a la espada que los mate(K),
y pondré sobre ellos mis ojos para mal y no para bien(L).
5 El Señor, Dios[f] de los ejércitos:
el que toca la tierra(M), y esta se derrite(N),
y se lamentan todos los que en ella habitan,
sube toda ella como el Nilo(O)
y mengua como el Nilo de Egipto;
6 el que edifica en los cielos sus altos aposentos[g](P),
y sobre la tierra ha establecido su bóveda;
el que llama a las aguas del mar
y las derrama sobre la faz de la tierra(Q):
el Señor es su nombre(R).
7 ¿No sois vosotros para mí como hijos de Etiopía[h](S),
oh hijos de Israel? —declara el Señor.
¿No hice yo subir a Israel de la tierra de Egipto(T)
y a los filisteos de Caftor(U) y a los arameos de Kir(V)?
8 He aquí, los ojos del Señor Dios están sobre el reino pecador(W),
y yo lo destruiré de sobre la faz de la tierra(X);
sin embargo, no destruiré totalmente a la casa de Jacob(Y) —declara el Señor.
9 Porque he aquí, yo daré un mandato,
y zarandearé a la casa de Israel entre todas las naciones,
como se zarandea el grano en la criba(Z),
sin que caiga ni un grano[i] en tierra.
10 A espada morirán todos los pecadores de mi pueblo(AA),
los que dicen: «No nos alcanzará ni se nos acercará la desgracia(AB)».
Restauración del pueblo de Dios
11 En aquel día levantaré el tabernáculo[j] caído de David(AC),
repararé sus brechas(AD),
levantaré sus ruinas,
y lo reedificaré como en tiempo pasado(AE),
12 para que tomen posesión(AF) del remanente de Edom(AG)
y de todas las naciones[k] donde se invoca mi nombre(AH)
—declara el Señor, que hace esto.
13 He aquí, vienen días —declara el Señor—
cuando el arador alcanzará al segador,
y el que pisa la uva al que siembra la semilla(AI);
cuando destilarán vino dulce los montes(AJ),
y todas las colinas se derretirán.
14 Restauraré el bienestar[l] de mi pueblo Israel(AK),
y ellos reedificarán las ciudades asoladas(AL) y habitarán en ellas(AM);
también plantarán viñas(AN) y beberán su vino,
y cultivarán[m] huertos y comerán sus frutos.
15 Los plantaré en su tierra,
y no serán arrancados jamás de la tierra
que les he dado(AO)
—dice el Señor tu Dios.

The Destruction of Israel
9 I saw the Lord standing beside[a] the altar, and he said:
(A)“Strike the capitals until (B)the thresholds (C)shake,
(D)and shatter them on the heads of all the people;[b]
and those who are left of them I will kill with the sword;
(E)not one of them shall flee away;
not one of them shall escape.
2 (F)“If they dig into Sheol,
from there shall my hand take them;
(G)if they climb up to heaven,
from there I will bring them down.
3 If they hide themselves on (H)the top of Carmel,
from there I will search them out and take them;
(I)and if they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them.
4 (J)And if they go into captivity before their enemies,
there I will command the sword, and it shall kill them;
(K)and I will fix my eyes upon them
for evil and not for good.”
5 The Lord God of hosts,
he who touches the earth and (L)it melts,
and all who dwell in it mourn,
(M)and all of it rises like the Nile,
(N)and sinks again, like the Nile of Egypt;
6 (O)who builds his upper chambers in the heavens
and founds his vault upon the earth;
(P)who calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out upon the surface of the earth—
(Q)the Lord is his name.
7 “Are you not like (R)the Cushites to me,
O people of Israel?” declares the Lord.
(S)“Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt,
and (T)the Philistines from (U)Caphtor and the Syrians from (V)Kir?
8 Behold, (W)the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom,
and I will destroy it from the surface of the ground,
(X)except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.
9 “For behold, I will command,
(Y)and shake the house of Israel among all the nations
as one shakes with a sieve,
but no pebble shall fall to the earth.
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword,
who say, (Z)‘Disaster shall not overtake or meet us.’
The Restoration of Israel
11 “In that day (AA)I will raise up
the booth of David that is fallen
and repair its breaches,
and raise up its ruins
and rebuild it as in the days of old,
12 (AB)that they may possess the remnant of Edom
and (AC)all the nations who are called by my name,”[c]
declares the Lord who does this.
13 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord,
(AD)“when the plowman shall overtake the reaper
and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed;
(AE)the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
and all the hills shall flow with it.
14 (AF)I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel,
and (AG)they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;
(AH)they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine,
and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 (AI)I will plant them on their land,
(AJ)and they shall never again be uprooted
out of the land (AK)that I have given them,”
says the Lord your God.
