Amos 9
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ang mga Hatol ng Panginoon
9 Nakita kong nakatayo sa may altar ang Panginoon. At siya'y nag-utos ng ganito:
“Bayuhin mo ang mga haligi ng templo hanggang sa mauga ang buong pundasyon,
at ihampas ito sa ulo ng mga tao.
Ang mga nalabi ay masasawi sa digmaan,
walang sinumang makakatakas;
isa ma'y walang makakaligtas.
2 Humukay man sila patungo sa daigdig ng mga patay,
aabutan ko pa rin sila.
Umakyat man sila sa langit,
hihilahin ko silang pababa mula roon.
3 Kung magtago man sila sa Bundok ng Carmel,
tutugisin ko sila't huhulihin.
Magtago man sila sa kalaliman ng dagat,
uutusan ko ang dambuhala sa dagat upang sila'y lamunin.
4 Kung bihagin man sila ng kanilang kaaway,
iuutos kong sila'y patayin sa pamamagitan ng tabak.
Ipinasya ko nang puksain sila at hindi tulungan.”
5 Si Yahweh, ang Makapangyarihang Panginoon,
siya na humipo sa lupa at iyon ay natutunaw,
at ang lahat ng naroon ay nagdadalamhati.
Dahil dito'y ang buong lupain ay tumataas gaya ng Ilog Nilo,
at bumababa gaya ng ilog sa Egipto.
6 Siya na gumagawa ng mga silid doon sa kalangitan,
at naglalagay ng pundasyon nito sa ibabaw ng lupa,
inipon niya ang tubig sa dagat,
at ibinubuhos iyon sa lupa.
Yahweh ang kanyang pangalan!
7 Sinasabi ni Yahweh,
“Para sa akin, kayong mga taga-Israel, ay kapantay lang ng mga taga-Etiopia.
Hinango ko ang Israel mula sa Egipto;
iniahon ko ang mga Filisteo sa Caftor at ang mga taga-Siria mula sa Kir.
8 Ako ang Panginoong Yahweh na nagmamasid sa makasalanang kaharian ng Israel.
Lilipulin ko sila sa balat ng lupa,
ngunit di ko lubusang pupuksain ang lahi ni Jacob.
9 “Iuutos kong ligligin
ang bayan ng Israel kasama ng lahat ng bansa;
tulad ng pag-alog sa salaan,
ngunit walang butil na babagsak sa lupa.
10 Ang mga makasalanan sa aking bayan ay masasawi sa digmaan;
lahat ng nagsasabing, ‘Hindi ipahihintulot ng Diyos na tayo'y mapahamak.’”
Manunumbalik ang Israel
11 “Sa(A) araw na iyon, ibabangon kong muli
ang nawasak na kaharian ni David,
at aayusin kong muli ang mga nasirang dako.
Ibabalik ang mga guho;
itatayo kong muli iyon, kagaya noong una.
12 Sa gayon ay sasakupin ng Israel ang nalalabi sa lupain ng Edom
at ang lahat ng bansang dati'y aking pag-aari,”
sabi ni Yahweh na siyang gagawa ng mga bagay na ito.
13 Sinabi rin ni Yahweh, “Darating ang panahon,
mag-aararo ang magbubukid habang nag-aani pa ang manggagapas;
at maghahasik na ng binhi ng ubas ang magsasaka habang gumagawa pa ng alak ang mag-aalak.
Dadaloy sa mga bundok ang bagong alak,
at masaganang aagos sa mga burol.
14 Ibabalik ko sa kanilang lupain ang aking bayan.
Itatayo nilang muli ang kanilang mga lunsod na nawasak, at doon sila maninirahan.
Tatamnan nilang muli ang mga ubasan at sila'y iinom ng alak.
Magtatanim silang muli sa mga halamanan at kakain ng mga bunga niyon.
15 Ibabalik ko ang Israel sa lupaing ibinigay ko sa kanila,
at hindi na sila maaalis pang muli roon.”
Si Yahweh na inyong Diyos ang nagsasalita.
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)

New King James Version
The Destruction of Israel
9 I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and He said:
“Strike the [a]doorposts, that the thresholds may shake,
And (A)break them on the heads of them all.
I will slay the last of them with the sword.
(B)He who flees from them shall not get away,
And he who escapes from them shall not be delivered.
2 “Though(C) they dig into [b]hell,
From there My hand shall take them;
(D)Though they climb up to heaven,
From there I will bring them down;
3 And though they (E)hide themselves on top of Carmel,
From there I will search and take them;
Though they hide from My sight at the bottom of the sea,
From there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them;
4 Though they go into captivity before their enemies,
From there (F)I will command the sword,
And it shall slay them.
(G)I will set My eyes on them for harm and not for good.”
5 The Lord God of hosts,
He who touches the earth and it (H)melts,
(I)And all who dwell there mourn;
All of it shall swell like [c]the River,
And subside like the River of Egypt.
6 He who builds His (J)layers[d] in the sky,
And has founded His strata in the earth;
Who (K)calls for the waters of the sea,
And pours them out on the face of the earth—
(L)The Lord is His name.
7 “Are you not like the [e]people of Ethiopia to Me,
O children of Israel?” says the Lord.
“Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt,
The (M)Philistines from (N)Caphtor,[f]
And the Syrians from (O)Kir?
8 “Behold, (P)the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom,
And I (Q)will destroy it from the face of the earth;
Yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”
Says the Lord.
9 “For surely I will command,
And will [g]sift the house of Israel among all nations,
As grain is sifted in a sieve;
(R)Yet not the smallest [h]grain shall fall to the ground.
10 All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword,
(S)Who say, ‘The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.’
Israel Will Be Restored
11 “On(T) that day I will raise up
The [i]tabernacle of David, which has fallen down,
And [j]repair its damages;
I will raise up its ruins,
And rebuild it as in the days of old;
12 (U)That they may possess the remnant of (V)Edom,[k]
And all the Gentiles who are called by My name,”
Says the Lord who does this thing.
13 “Behold, (W)the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;
(X)The mountains shall drip with sweet wine,
And all the hills shall flow with it.
14 (Y)I will bring back the captives of My people Israel;
(Z)They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them;
They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them.
15 I will plant them in their land,
(AA)And no longer shall they be pulled up
From the land I have given them,”
Says the Lord your God.
