Aking nakita ang Panginoon na nakatayo sa tabi ng dambana: at kaniyang sinabi, Hampasin mo ang mga kapitel, upang ang mga tungtungan ay mauga; at mangagkaputolputol sa ulo nilang lahat; at aking papatayin ng tabak ang huli sa kanila: walang makatatakas sinoman sa kanila, at walang makatatanang sinoman sa kanila.

Bagaman sila'y humukay hanggang sa Sheol, mula roo'y kukunin sila ng aking kamay; at bagaman sila'y sumampa hanggang sa langit, mula roo'y ibababa ko sila.

At bagaman sila'y magsipagtago sa taluktok ng Carmelo, aking hahanapin at kukunin sila mula roon; at bagaman sila'y magsikubli sa aking paningin sa gitna ng dagat, mula roo'y uutusan ko ang ahas, at tutukain niyaon sila.

At bagaman sila'y magsipasok sa pagkabihag sa harap ng kanilang mga kaaway, mula roon ay aking uutusan ang tabak, at papatayin niyaon sila: at aking itititig ang aking mga mata sa kanila sa ikasasama, at hindi sa ikabubuti.

Sapagka't ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng mga hukbo, ay siyang humihipo ng lupain at natutunaw, at lahat na nagsisitahan doon ay magsisitangis; at babangong samasama na gaya ng Ilog, at lulubog uli, na gaya ng Ilog ng Egipto;

Siya na gumawa ng kaniyang mga silid sa langit, at kumatha ng kaniyang balantok sa lupa; siya na tumatawag ng tubig sa dagat at ibinubugso sa ibabaw ng lupa; Panginoon ang kaniyang pangalan.

Di baga kayo'y parang mga anak ng mga taga Etiopia sa akin, Oh mga anak ni Israel? sabi ng Panginoon. Hindi ko baga pinasampa ang Israel mula sa lupain ng Egipto, at ang mga Filisteo, ay mula sa Caphtor, at ang mga taga Siria ay sa Chir?

Narito, ang mga mata ng Panginoong Dios ay nasa makasalanang kaharian, at aking ipapahamak mula sa ibabaw ng lupa; liban na hindi ko lubos na ipapahamak ang sangbahayan ni Jacob, sabi ng Panginoon.

Sapagka't, narito, ako'y maguutos, at aking sasalain ang sangbahayan ni Israel sa gitna ng lahat na bansa, gaya ng trigo na nabithay sa isang bithay, gayon ma'y hindi malalaglag sa lupa ang pinakamaliit na butil.

10 Lahat na makasalanan sa aking bayan ay mangamamatay sa pamamagitan ng tabak, na nangagsasabi, Ang kasamaan ay hindi aabot sa atin o mauuna man sa atin.

11 Sa araw na yaon ay ibabangon ko ang tabernakulo ni David na buwal, at tatakpan ko ang mga sira niyaon; at ibabangon ko ang mga guho niyaon, at aking itatayo na gaya ng mga araw ng una;

12 Upang kanilang ariin ang nalabi sa Edom, at ang lahat na bansa na mga tinatawag sa aking pangalan, sabi ng Panginoon na gumagawa nito,

13 Narito, ang mga kaarawan ay dumarating, sabi ng Panginoon, na aabutan ng mangaararo ang mangaani, at ng mamimisa ng ubas ang magtatanim ng binhi; at ang mga bundok ay papatak ng matamis na alak, at lahat na burol ay mangatutunaw.

14 At akin uling ibabalik ang nangabihag sa aking bayang Israel, at kanilang itatayo ang mga wasak na bayan, at tatahanan nila; at sila'y mangaguubasan, at magsisiinom ng alak niyaon; magsisigawa rin sila ng mga halamanan, at magsisikain ng bunga ng mga yaon.

15 At aking itatatag sila sa kanilang lupain; at hindi na sila mabubunot pa sa kanilang lupain, na aking ibinigay sa kanila, sabi ng Panginoon mong Dios.

'Amos 9 ' not found for the version: Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version.

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.

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

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:

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

11 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:

12 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.

13 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.

14 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.

15 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.

Israel to Be Destroyed

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)
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)
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)
Though they are driven into exile by their enemies,
    there I will command the sword(K) to slay them.

“I will keep my eye on them
    for harm(L) and not for good.(M)(N)

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)
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)

“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)

“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)
“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)
