< Amos 4 >
1 Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, that oppress the poor, that crush the needy, that say to their lords, Bring, and let us drink:
E HOOLOHE oukou i keia olelo, e na bipi wahine o Basana, Na mea ma na mauna o Samaria, Na mea e hookaumaha ana i ka poe ilihune, Na mea e hooluhi ana i ka poe nele, Na mea e olelo ana i ko lakou mau haku, E lawe mai, a e inu kakou.
2 the Lord Jehovah hath sworn by his holiness, that behold, days shall come upon you, when he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fish-hooks;
Ua hoohiki o Iehova ka Haku, ma kona hemolele, Aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la maluna o oukou, E lawe aku ai oia ia oukou me na kilou, A i ka poe mahope o oukou i na makau lawaia.
3 and ye shall go out by the breaches, every one straight before her, and ye shall be cast out to Harmon, saith Jehovah.
A e puka aku oukou, ma ua wahi hiolo, o kela mea keia mea ma kona alo, A e hooleiia'ku iwaho o ka pakaua, wahi a Iehova.
4 Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices in the morning, your tithes every three days,
E hele mai oukou i Betela, a e hana hewa; E hoonui i ka hana hewa ma Gilegala; A lawe mai oukou i ka oukou mau mohai no ke kakahiaka, A i na hapaumi o oukou no ke kolu o na makahiki:
5 and burn a thank-offering with leaven, and proclaim, publish, voluntary offerings: for this pleaseth you, children of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah.
A e puhi i ka berena hu i mohai aloha, A e hoike aku i na mohai aloha i lohe: No ka mea, o ka oukou makemake no ia, e na mamo a Iseraela, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
6 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places; yet ye have not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.
A ua haawi aku hoi au ia oukou i ka maemae o na niho ma ko oukou mau kulanakauhale a pau, A i ka nele i ka berena ma ko oukou mau wahi a pau: Aka, aole oukou i hoi hou mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
7 And I also have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece [of land] was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.
A paa ia'u ka ua, mai o oukou aku, i ka manawa ekolu malama i koe a hiki i ka ohi ana: A hooua iho au maluna o kekahi kulanakauhale, A hooua ole au maluna o kekahi kulanakauhale: Ua hoouaia kau wahi, A o kahi i hooua ole ia, ua maloo.
8 And two, three, cities wandered unto one city, to drink water, and were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.
A hele aku elua ekolu paha na kulanakauhale i kekahi kulanakauhale e inu i ka wai, aole nae i kena: Aka, aole oukou i hoi hou mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew; the palmer-worm hath devoured the multitude of your gardens, and your vineyards, and your fig-trees and your olive-trees: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.
Ua hahau aku au ia oukou i ka hua ai maalili, a me ka punahelu: He nui ko oukou kihapai, ko oukou mau pawaina, a me ko oukou mau laau fiku, a me ko oukou mau laau oliva, ua aiia hoi e ka uhini opiopio hulu ole; Aka, aole oukou i hoi hou mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
10 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, taking away captive your horses; and I made the stench of your camps to come up, even into your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.
A ua hoouna aku au iwaena o oukou i ke ahulau, e like me ia ma Aigupita; Ua luku aku au i ko oukou poe kanaka opio i ka pahikaua, Me ko oukou poe lio i pioia; A ua hoopii ae au i ka pilau o ko oukou hoomoana ana, a hiki i ko oukou mau ihu; Aka, aole oukou i hoi hou mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
11 I have overthrown among you, like God's overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a brand plucked out of the burning; yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.
Ua luku aku au iwaena o oukou, E like me ka luku ana o ke Akua ia Sodoma a me Gomora; Ua like hoi oukou me ka momokuahi i kailiia mai loko mai o ke ahi: Aka, aole oukou i hoi hou mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
No ia mea, pela au e hana aku ai ia oe, e ka Iseraela: A no ka'u hana ana aku i keia ia oe, E hoomakaukau oe e halawai me kou Akua, e ka Iseraela.
13 For behold, he who formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, who maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, — Jehovah, the God of hosts, is his name.
No ka mea, aia hoi, o ka mea nana i hana na mauna, A o ka mea i hana i ka makani, A hai aku i ke kanaka i kona manao, A o ka mea i hoolilo i ka wanaao i pouli, O ka mea e hehi ana maluna o na wahi kiekie o ka honua, O Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, kona inoa.
