WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Είδον τον Κύριον ιστάμενον επί του θυσιαστηρίου, και είπε, Πάταξον το ανώφλιον της πύλης, διά να σεισθώσι τα προπύλαια, και σύντριψον αυτά κατά της κεφαλής πάντων τούτων· τους δε υπολοίπους αυτών θέλω θανατώσει εν ρομφαία· ουδείς εξ αυτών φεύγων θέλει διαφύγει και ουδείς εξ αυτών σωζόμενος θέλει διασωθή.
1 VI al Señor que estaba sobre el altar, y dijo: Hiere el umbral, y estremézcanse las puertas: y córtales en piezas la cabeza de todos; y el postrero de ellos mataré á cuchillo: no habrá de ellos quien se fugue, ni quien escape.
1 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said, “Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake. Break them in pieces on the head of all of them. I will kill the last of them with the sword. Not one of them will flee away. Not one of them will escape.
2 Εάν σκάψωσιν έως άδου, εκείθεν η χειρ μου θέλει ανασπάσει αυτούς· και εάν αναβώσιν εις τον ουρανόν, εκείθεν θέλω κατάξει αυτούς.
2 Aunque cavasen hasta el infierno, de allá los tomará mi mano; y si subieren hasta el cielo, de allá los haré descender.
2 Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down.
3 Και εάν κρυφθώσιν εν τη κορυφή του Καρμήλου, εκείθεν θέλω εξερευνήσει και συλλάβει αυτούς· και εάν κρυφθώσιν από των οφθαλμών μου εις τα βάθη της θαλάσσης, εκεί θέλω προστάξει τον δράκοντα και θέλει δαγκάσει αυτούς.
3 Y si se escondieren en la cumbre del Carmelo, allí los buscaré y los tomaré; y aunque se escondieren de delante de mis ojos en el profundo de la mar, allí mandaré á la culebra, y morderálos.
3 Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out from there; and though they be hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.
4 Και εάν υπάγωσιν εις αιχμαλωσίαν έμπροσθεν των εχθρών αυτών, εκείθεν θέλω προστάξει την μάχαιραν και θέλει θανατώσει αυτούς· και θέλω στήσει τους οφθαλμούς μου επ' αυτούς διά κακόν και ουχί διά καλόν.
4 Y si fueren en cautiverio, delante de sus enemigos, allí mandaré al cuchillo, y los matará; y pondré sobre ellos mis ojos para mal, y no para bien.
4 Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for evil, and not for good.
5 Διότι Κύριος ο Θεός των δυνάμεων είναι, όστις εγγίζει την γην και τήκεται, και πάντες οι κατοικούντες εν αυτή θέλουσι πενθήσει· και θέλει υπερεκχειλίσει όλη ως ποταμός και θέλει καταποντισθή ως υπό του ποταμού της Αιγύπτου.
5 El Señor Jehová de los ejércitos [es] el que toca la tierra, y se derretirá, y llorarán todos los que en ella moran: y subirá toda como un río, y hundiráse luego como el río de Egipto.
5 For the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt.
6 Αυτός είναι ο οικοδομών τα υπερώα αυτού εν τω ουρανώ και θεμελιών τον θόλον αυτού επί της γης, ο προσκαλών τα ύδατα της θαλάσσης και εκχέων αυτά επί το πρόσωπον της γής· Κύριος το όνομα αυτού.
6 El edificó en el cielo sus gradas, y ha establecido su expansión sobre la tierra: él llama las aguas de la mar, y sobre la haz de la tierra las derrama: Jehová es su nombre.
6 It is he who builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth—Yahweh is his name.
7 δεν είσθε εις εμέ ως υιοί Αιθιόπων, σεις υιοί Ισραήλ; λέγει Κύριος· δεν ανεβίβασα τον Ισραήλ εκ γης Αιγύπτου και τους Φιλισταίους από Καφθόρ και τους Συρίους από Κιρ;
7 Hijos de Israel, ¿no me sois vosotros, dice Jehová, como hijos de Etiopes? ¿no hice yo subir á Israel de la tierra de Egipto, y á los Palestinos de Caphtor, y de Chîr á los Arameos?
7 Are you not like the children of the Ethiopians to me, children of Israel?” says Yahweh. “Haven’t I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
8 Ιδού, οι οφθαλμοί Κυρίου του Θεού είναι επί το βασίλειον το αμαρτωλόν, και θέλω αφανίσει αυτό από προσώπου της γής· πλην ότι δεν θέλω αφανίσει ολοτελώς τον οίκον Ιακώβ, λέγει Κύριος.
8 He aquí los ojos del Señor Jehová están contra el reino pecador, y yo lo asolaré de la haz de la tierra: mas no destruiré del todo la casa de Jacob, dice Jehová.
8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord Yahweh are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth, except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” says Yahweh.
9 Διότι ιδού, εγώ θέλω προστάξει και θέλω λικμήσει τον οίκον Ισραήλ μεταξύ πάντων των εθνών, καθώς λικμάται ο σίτος εν τω κοσκίνω, και δεν θέλει πέσει κόκκος επί την γην.
9 Porque he aquí yo mandaré, y haré que la casa de Israel sea zarandeada entre todas las gentes, como se zarandea [el grano] en un harnero, y no cae un granito en la tierra.
9 “For behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel will fall on the earth.
10 Υπό ρομφαίας θέλουσιν αποθάνει πάντες οι αμαρτωλοί του λαού μου, οι λέγοντες, Δεν θέλει μας εγγίσει ουδέ μας καταφθάσει το κακόν.
10 A cuchillo morirán todos los pecadores de mi pueblo, que dicen: No se acercará, ni nos alcanzará el mal.
10 All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil won’t overtake nor meet us.’
11◆ Εν τη ημέρα εκείνη θέλω αναστήσει την σκηνήν του Δαβίδ την πεπτωκυίαν, και θέλω φράξει τας χαλάστρας αυτής, και θέλω ανεγείρει τα ερείπια αυτής, και θέλω ανοικοδομήσει αυτήν ως εν ταις αρχαίαις ημέραις·
11 En aquel día yo levantaré el tabernáculo de David, caído, y cerraré sus portillos, y levantaré sus ruinas, y edificarélo como en el tiempo pasado;
11 In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old,
12◆ διά να κληρονομήσωσι το υπόλοιπον του Εδώμ και πάντα τα έθνη, επί τα οποία καλείται το όνομά μου, λέγει Κύριος, ο ποιών ταύτα.
12 Para que aquellos sobre los cuales es llamado mi nombre, posean el resto de Idumea, y á todas las naciones, dice Jehová que hace esto.
12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name,” says Yahweh who does this.
13 Ιδού, έρχονται ημέραι, λέγει Κύριος, και ο αροτρεύς θέλει φθάσει τον θεριστήν και ο ληνοβάτης τον σπείροντα τον σπόρον, και τα όρη θέλουσι σταλάξει γλεύκος και πάντες οι βουνοί θέλουσι ρέει αγαθά.
13 He aquí vienen días, dice Jehová, en que el que ara alcanzará al segador, y el pisador de las uvas al que lleva la simiente; y los montes destilarán mosto, y todos los collados se derretirán.
13 “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.
14 Και θέλω επιστρέψει τους αιχμαλώτους του λαού μου Ισραήλ, και θέλουσιν ανοικοδομήσει τας πόλεις τας ηρημωμένας και κατοικήσει· και θέλουσι φυτεύσει αμπελώνας και πίει τον οίνον αυτών, και θέλουσι κάμει κήπους και φάγει τον καρπόν αυτών.
14 Y tornaré el cautiverio de mi pueblo Israel, y edificarán ellos las ciudades asoladas, y las habitarán; y plantarán viñas, y beberán el vino de ellas; y harán huertos, y comerán el fruto de ellos.
14 I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.
15 Και θέλω φυτεύσει αυτούς επί την γην αυτών, και δεν θέλουσιν εκσπασθή πλέον από της γης αυτών, την οποίαν έδωκα εις αυτούς, λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός σου.
15 Pues los plantaré sobre su tierra, y nunca más serán arrancados de su tierra que yo les dí, ha dicho Jehová Dios tuyo.
15 I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them,” says Yahweh your God.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Amos 9:12 and Acts 15:17: “the remnant of Edom” or “the rest of mankind”?
In the Hebrew text of Amos 9:12, restored Israel will “possess the remnant of Edom.” In the Septuagint, “the remnant of men” will “seek” the Lord. At the Council of Jerusalem St James quotes the Greek form to show that God intended Gentiles to belong to his people (Acts 15:16–17). The two readings differ by letters that look and sound alike in Hebrew.
What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… David, which is fallen down; and I will build the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, among whom my name has been invoked, saith the Lord, doing these things. Known from eternity is His work to God.
… thereof: and I will raise up his ruins, and will build them up again as in the days of old: that the residue of men may inquire for me, and all the nations upon whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord that doeth this." Chapter 29 — What Things are Predicted by Isaiah Concerning Christ and the Church The …

There is a certain proud serpent in the sea, of which another passage of Scripture speaks, "I will command the serpent, and he shall bite him;" and again, "There is that Leviathan, whom Thou hast made to mock him," whose head He bruises above the water.
