Amos 6
1 Woe to those at ease in Zion and those secure on Mount Samaria, the distinguished ones of the foremost nation, to whom the house of Israel comes.
Aue, te mate mo te hunga e noho humarie ana i Hiona, mo te hunga hoki e whakawhirinaki ana ki te maunga o Hamaria, nga tangata whai ingoa o te tuatahi o nga iwi, i tae atu nei te whare o Iharaira ki a ratou.
2 Cross over to Calneh and see; go from there to the great Hamath; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms? Is their territory larger than yours?
Haere tonu ki Karane titiro ai, haere atu i reira ki Hamata nui; haere tonu atu ki Kata o nga Pirihitini: he pai atu ranei i enei kingitanga? nui atu ranei to ratou rohe i to koutou rohe?
3 You dismiss the day of calamity and bring near a reign of violence.
E te hunga e whakamatara atu na i te ra kino, e mea na i te nohoanga o te tutu kia tata mai;
4 You lie on beds inlaid with ivory, and lounge upon your couches. You dine on lambs from the flock and calves from the stall.
E takoto na i runga i te moenga rei, e wharoro na i runga i o ratou takotoranga, e kai na i nga reme o te kahui, i nga kuao kau o waenganui i te turanga kau;
5 You improvise songs on the harp like David and invent your own musical instruments.
E waiata na i nga waiata poauau ki te rangi hatere; e whakaaroa ana hoki e ratou nga mea whakatangi, e pera ana me Rawiri;
6 You drink wine by the bowlful and anoint yourselves with the finest oils, but you fail to grieve over the ruin of Joseph.
E inu ana i te waina o nga peihana, a e whakawahi ana i a ratou ki nga hinu pai rawa; kahore ia o ratou pouri mo te aitua o Hohepa.
7 Therefore, you will now go into exile as the first of the captives, and your feasting and lounging will come to an end.
Na aianei ko ratou ki mua ka whakaraua atu o te hunga e whakaraua ana, a ka kore te hakari a te hunga i wharoro ra.
8 The Lord GOD has sworn by Himself—the LORD, the God of Hosts, has declared: “I abhor Jacob’s pride and detest his citadels, so I will deliver up the city and everything in it.”
Kua oatitia te Ariki, a Ihowa, e ia ano, e ai ta Ihowa, ta te Atua o nga mano, E whakarihariha ana ahau ki ta Hakopa e whakai na, e kino ana ki ona whare kingi: mo reira ka tukua atu e ahau te pa me nga mea i roto.
9 And if there are ten men left in one house, they too will die.
Na, ki te toe nga tangata kotahi tekau i roto i te whare kotahi, ka mate ratou.
10 And when the relative who is to burn the bodies picks them up to remove them from the house, he will call to one inside, “Is anyone else with you?” “None,” that person will answer. “Silence,” the relative will retort, “for the name of the LORD must not be invoked.”
A, ki te tangohia ake tetahi e tona matua keke, ara e te kaitahu mona, kia maua mai ai nga wheua i roto i te whare, a ka mea ia ki te tangata i roto rawa i te whare, He tangata ano ranei tena kei a koe na? a ka mea ia, Kahore; katahi ia ka mea, Whakarongoa; e kore hoki tatou e whakahua i te ingoa o Ihowa.
11 For the LORD gives a command: “The great house will be smashed to pieces, and the small house to rubble.”
No te mea, nana, kei te whakahau a Ihowa, a ka patua te whare nui ki nga pakaru, te whare iti ki nga ngatata.
12 “Do horses gallop on the cliffs? Does one plow the sea with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood—
E rere ranei te hoiho i runga i te kamaka? e parautia ranei a reira ki te kau? i whakaputaina ketia ai e koutou te whakawa hei au, nga hua hoki o te tika hei taru kawa.
13 you who rejoice in Lo-debar and say, ‘Did we not take Karnaim by our own strength?’
E koa na hoki koutou ki te kahore noa iho, e mea na, He teka ianei kua riro mai he haona i a tatou, he mea na to tatou uaua?
14 For behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel,” declares the LORD, the God of Hosts, “and they will oppress you from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of the Arabah.”
Otiia, nana, ka ara i ahau tetahi iwi ki a koutou, e te whare o Iharaira, e ai ta Ihowa, ta te Atua o nga mano, a ka whakatupuria kinotia koutou e ratou i te haerenga atu ki Hamata a tae noa ki te awa o te Arapa.
