Amos 9
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Walang Makakatakas sa Parusa ng Dios
9 Sinabi ni Amos: Nakita ko ang Panginoon na nakatayo malapit sa altar at sinabi niya, “Hampasin mo ang itaas na bahagi ng mga haligi ng templo upang mawasak ang bubong[a] at nang mabagsakan ang mga tao. Ang matitirang buhay ay mamamatay sa digmaan. Wala ni isa mang makakatakas o makakaligtas. 2 Kahit magtago pa sila sa ilalim ng lupa, sa lugar ng mga patay, kukunin ko pa rin sila. Kahit na umakyat pa sila sa langit, hihilahin ko pa rin sila pababa. 3 Kahit na magtago pa sila sa tuktok ng Bundok ng Carmel, hahanapin ko sila roon at huhulihin. Magtago man sila sa kailaliman ng dagat, uutusan ko ang ahas na tuklawin sila. 4 Kahit na bihagin sila ng kanilang mga kaaway, ipapapatay ko pa rin sila. Dahil desidido na akong lipulin sila at huwag nang tulungan.”
5 Kapag hinipo ng Panginoong Dios na Makapangyarihan ang lupa, mayayanig ito at mag-iiyakan ang lahat ng naninirahan dito. Ang pagyanig nito ay parang pagtaas at pagbaba ng tubig sa Ilog ng Nilo sa Egipto.
6 Ang Dios ang gumawa ng kanyang sariling tirahan sa langit.
At siya ang gumawa ng kalawakan sa itaas ng lupa.
Siya rin ang nag-iipon ng tubig-dagat sa mga alapaap at pinauulan ito sa lupa.
Ang pangalan niyaʼy Panginoon.
7 Sinabi ng Panginoon, “Ang turing ko sa inyo na mga taga-Israel ay katulad lang sa mga taga-Etiopia.[b] Totoong inilabas ko kayo sa Egipto, pero inilabas ko rin ang mga Filisteo sa Caftor[c] at ang mga Arameo[d] sa Kir. 8 Ako, ang Panginoong Dios ay nagmamanman sa inyong makasalanang kaharian. At lilipulin ko kayo hanggang sa mawala kayo ng lubusan sa mundo. Pero may ilang matitira sa inyo na mga lahi ni Jacob. Ako, ang Panginoon, ang nagsasabi nito. 9 Tingnan ninyo! Mag-uutos na ako; sasalain ko kayong mga mamamayan ng Israel kasama ng lahat ng bansa, tulad ng pagsala sa mga butil. At kung paanong hindi nakakalusot ang maliliit na bato sa salaan, 10 hindi rin makakalusot sa akin ang masasama sa inyo, kundi mamamatay silang lahat sa digmaan, silang mga nagsasabi na wala raw masamang mangyayari sa kanila.
Muling Itatayo ang Israel
11 “Darating ang araw na muli kong itatayo ang kaharian ni David na tulad sa kubong nawasak. Aayusin ko ito sa kanyang pagkakagiba at itatayong muli kagaya noong una, 12 upang masakop ng mga Israelita ang natitirang lupain ng Edom at ang iba pang mga bansa na sinakop nila noon, na itinuring kong akin. Ako, ang Panginoon, ang nagsasabi nito, at gagawin ko ang mga bagay na ito.”
13 Sinabi pa ng Panginoon tungkol sa mga taga-Israel, “Darating ang araw na magiging masagana ang kanilang ani, hindi pa nga nila natatapos ang pag-aani, sinisimulan na naman ang pag-aararo. At hindi pa natatapos ang pagpisa ng ubas, panahon na naman ng pagtatanim nito. Kung titingnan ang napakaraming ubas na namumunga sa mga bundok at burol, para bang dumadaloy ang matamis na bagong katas nito.[e] 14 Pababalikin ko ang mga mamamayan kong Israelita sa kanilang lupain mula sa pagkakabihag.[f] Muli nilang itatayo ang kanilang mga nasirang bayan at doon na sila maninirahan. Magtatanim sila ng ubas at iinom ng katas nito. Magtatanim sila sa kanilang mga halamanan, at kakainin nila ang mga bunga nito. 15 Patitirahin ko silang muli sa lupaing ibinigay ko sa kanila at hindi na muling paaalisin.” Ito nga ang sinabi ng Panginoon na inyong Dios.

Amos 9
Authorized (King James) Version
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.
2 Though they dig into hell,
thence shall mine hand take them;
though they climb up to heaven,
thence will I bring them down:
3 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:
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 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?
8 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.
9 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.
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)
