< Amos 6 >
1 Woe to you who have been wealthy in Zion, and to you who have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: aristocrats, heads of the people, who advance with a retinue into the house of Israel.
A UWE ka poe palaka ma Ziona, A hilinai hoi ma ka mauna o Samaria: Ka poe i oleloia, o na pookela o na lahuikanaka, Io lakou la i hele mai ka Iseraela!
2 Cross over to Calneh and see, and go from there into Hamath the great, and descend into Gath of the Philistines, and to the best kingdoms of these, if their limits are wider than your limits.
E hele aku oukou i Kalene, a e nana; A mai laila aku e hele ai oukou i Hamata nui; Alaila, e iho aku i Gata o ko Pilisetia: Ua oi anei ko lakou maikai mamua o ko keia mau aupuni? Ua oi anei ka palahalaha o ko lakou mokuna mamua o ko oukou mokuna?
3 You have been set aside for the day of disaster, and you approach the throne of iniquity.
Auwe ka poe i hooloihi aku i ka la ino, A hookokoke i ka noho hookaumaha wale;
4 You sleep on beds of ivory, and you are lustful on your couches. You devour lambs from the flock and calves from the midst of the herd.
Ka poe e moe ana maluna o na wahi moe niho elepani, A moe hoolei loa maluna o ko lakou wahi moe, A ai iho i na keikihipa o ka poe hipa, A me na keiki bipi i kupeleia;
5 You sing to the sound of stringed instruments; they consider themselves to have the musical abilities of David.
Ka poe mele mamuli o ka viola, A hana lakou no lakou iho i na mea kani e like me Davida;
6 You drink wine in bowls, and you anoint with the best ointments; and they suffer nothing over the grief of Joseph.
Ka poe inu waina maloko o na kiaha, A kahinu ia lakou iho i ka hinu maikai: Aka, aole i kaumaha lakou no ka eha ana o ka Iosepa!
7 Because of this, now they will depart at the head of those who go into captivity; and the faction of the lustful will be removed.
No ia mea, ano e hele pio aku ai lakou iwaena o ka poe pio mua, A e laweia'ku ka olioli o ka poe moe hoolei loa.
8 The Lord God has sworn by his own soul, the Lord God of hosts says: I detest the arrogance of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will hand over the city with its inhabitants.
Ua hoohiki o Iehova ka Haku, ma kona ola, wahi a Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, Ke hoopailua nei au i ka haaheo o Iakoba, A ke hoowahawaha nei hoi i kona mau halealii; Nolaila, e hoolilo aku ai au i ke kulanakauhale, a me kona mea i piha ai.
9 For if there were ten men remaining in one house, even they will die.
A ina e waihoia na kanaka he umi ma ka hale hookahi, e make no lakou.
10 And his closest relative will steal him away and will burn him, so that he may carry the bones out of the house. And he will say to him that is in the inner most rooms of the house, “Now is there any left that still belongs to you?” And he will answer, “It is finished.” And he will say to him, “Be silent and do not call to mind the name of the Lord.”
A o ka hoahanau o kona makuakane e lawe aku ia ia, A o ka mea i puhi ia ia, e lawe aku iwaho i na iwi mailoko mai o ka hale, A e olelo aku i ka mea maloko loa o ka hale, Aole anei he mea i koe me oe? e i mai kela, Aole. Alaila, e i aku ia, Hamau; no ka mea, aole e olelo ma ka inoa o Iehova.
11 For behold, the Lord has commanded, and he will strike the greater house with catastrophes, and the lesser house with divisions.
No ka mea, aia hoi, ke kauoha mai nei o Iehova, A e hahau aku ia i ka hale nui me ka nahaha, A i ka hale uuku me ka wawahi.
12 Can horses gallop across rocks, or is anyone able to plough with gazelles? For you have turned judgment into bitterness and the fruit of justice into wormwood.
E holo anei na lio maluna o na pohaku? E mahi oopalau ia anei malaila me na bipi kauo? No ka mea, ua hoolilo oukou i ka hoopono ana i laau make, A i ka hua o ka pono, i laau awaawa:
13 You rejoice in emptiness. You say, “Have we not, by our own strength, taken horns for ourselves?”
E oukou, ka poe e olioli ana i ka mea ole, Ka poe e olelo, Aole anei kakou i lawe no kakou i na pepeiaohao ma ko kakou ikaika?
14 For behold, house of Israel, I will raise up a people over you, says the Lord God of hosts, and they will crush you from the entrance of Hamath all the way to the burning of the desert.
Aka, aia hoi, e hoala ku e auanei au i lahuikanaka ia oukou, e ko ka hale o Iseraela, wahi a Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua; A e hookaumaha lakou ia oukou mai ke komo ana o Hamata a hiki i ke kahawai o ka papu.
