Amos 9
1 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.
Vi al Señor de pie junto al altar, y dijo: “Golpea las cimas de las columnas, para que tiemblen los umbrales. Hazlos pedazos en la cabeza de todos ellos. Mataré al último de ellos con la espada. Ninguno de ellos huirá. Ni uno solo de ellos escapará.
2 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)
Aunque escarben en el Seol, allí los tomará mi mano; y aunque suban al cielo, allí los haré descender. (Sheol h7585)
3 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.
Aunque se escondan en la cima del Carmelo, allí los buscaré y los sacaré; y aunque se escondan de mi vista en el fondo del mar, allí mandaré a la serpiente, y los morderá.
4 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.”
Aunque vayan al cautiverio ante sus enemigos, allí mandaré la espada, y los matará. Pondré mis ojos en ellos para mal, y no para bien.
5 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.
Porque el Señor, Yahvé de los Ejércitos, es el que toca la tierra y se derrite, y todos los que habitan en ella se lamentarán; y subirá por completo como el río, y se hundirá de nuevo, como el río de Egipto.
6 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.
Es el que construye sus habitaciones en los cielos, y ha fundado su bóveda en la tierra; el que llama a las aguas del mar, y las derrama sobre la superficie de la tierra: Yahvé es su nombre.
7 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].
¿No sois vosotros, hijos de Israel, como los hijos de los etíopes para mí?”, dice Yahvé. “¿No he sacado a Israel de la tierra de Egipto, y a los filisteos de Caphtor, y a los sirios de Kir?
8 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.
He aquí que los ojos del Señor Yahvé están sobre el reino pecador, y lo destruiré de la superficie de la tierra, salvo que no destruya del todo la casa de Jacob”, dice Yahvé.
9 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].
“Porque he aquí que yo ordenaré y tamizaré a la casa de Israel entre todas las naciones como se tamiza el grano en una criba, pero no caerá en la tierra ni el más mínimo grano.
10 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.”
Morirán a espada todos los pecadores de mi pueblo, que dicen: “El mal no nos alcanzará ni nos encontrará”.
11 “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.
En aquel día levantaré la tienda de David que está caída y cerraré sus brechas, y levantaré sus ruinas, y la edificaré como en los días de antaño,
12 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.
para que posean el resto de Edom y todas las naciones que son llamadas por mi nombre”, dice Yahvé que hace esto.
13 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].
“He aquí que llegan los días”, dice Yahvé, “que el labrador supere al segador, y el que pisa las uvas el que siembra la semilla; y el vino dulce goteará de las montañas, y fluyen desde las colinas.
14 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].
Haré volver a mi pueblo Israel del cautiverio, y reconstruirán las ciudades en ruinas y las habitarán; y plantarán viñas y beberán vino de ellas. También harán jardines, y comer sus frutos.
15 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.”
Los plantaré en su tierra, y ya no serán arrancados de su tierra que les he dado”. dice Yahvé, tu Dios.
