Amos 7
1 This is what the Lord God showed me. I saw that he was preparing a swarm of locusts just when the spring crops began to grow. (Spring crops begin to grow right after the time when the king's hay is cut.)
PENEIA i hoike mai ai o Iehova ka Haku ia'u: Aia hoi, hana iho la ia i na uhini i ka ulu mua ana o ka weuweu hope; aia hoi, o ka weuweu lua ia mahope o ka ke alii oki ana. A i ka wa i hoopau ai lakou i ka ai ana i ka weuweu o ka aina, alaila i aku la au,
2 And so when the locusts finished eating every green plant in the fields, I pleaded with the Lord God, “Please forgive your people! How can the descendants of Jacob survive? They are so weak.”
E Iehova ka Haku, ke noi aku nei au, e kala mai oe. Pehea la e ku mai ai o Iakoba? No ka mea, ua uuku ia.
3 So the Lord changed his mind. “It won't happen,” said the Lord.
Huli ae la o Iehova no keia mea: aole ia e hiki mai, wahi a Iehova.
4 This is what the Lord God showed me. I saw that the Lord God was calling for a judgment of fire. The fire burned up the depths of the sea and destroyed the farmland.
Peneia i hoike mai ai o Iehova ka Haku ia'u; Aia hoi, kahea mai o Iehova ka Haku, e hakaka me ke ahi, a ai iho la ia i ka hohonunui, a hoopau iho la i kauwahi. Alaila, i aku la au,
5 I pleaded with the Lord God, “Please stop! How can the descendants of Jacob survive? They are so weak.”
E ka Haku, e Iehova, ke noi aku nei au, e oki: Pehea e ku mai ai o Iakoba? No ka mea, ua uuku ia.
6 So the Lord changed his mind. “This too won't happen,” said the Lord.
Huli ae la o Iehova no keia mea: aole e hiki mai keia, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
7 This is what he showed me. I saw the Lord was standing beside a wall that had been built with a plumb line. He was holding a plumb line in his hand.
Peneia i hoike mai ai oia ia'u: Aia hoi, ku mai la ka Haku maluna o ka papohaku kupono, me ka mea hookupono ma kona lima.
8 And the Lord asked me, “Amos, what do you see?” I replied, “A plumb line.” And the Lord God said, “I am placing a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I won't ignore their sins anymore.
A i mai la o Iehova ia'u, E Amosa, heaha la kau e ike nei? A i aku la au, He mea hookupono. Alaila, i mai la o Iehova. Aia hoi, e hoonoho aku au i na mea hookupono iwaena o kuu poe kanaka o ka Iseraela: Aole au i hele hou ae mai o lakou aku.
9 The high places of the descendents of Isaac will be torn down, and the holy places of Israel will be destroyed. Sword in hand, I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam.”
A e hooneoneoia na wahi kiekie o Isaaka, A e wawahiia na wahi hoano o ka Iseraela: A e ku e aku au i ka hale o Ieroboama me ka pahikaua.
10 Then Amaziah, priest of Bethel, sent a message to Jeroboam, king of Israel, saying, “Amos is plotting against you among the people of Israel. What he's saying is unbearable!
Alaila, hoouna aku la o Amazia, ke kahuna o Betela. Io Ieroboama la, ke alii o ka Iseraela, i aku la, Ua ku e mai o Amosa ia oe iwaena o ko ka hale o Iseraela: aole e hiki i ka aina ke hoomanawanui i kana mau olelo a pau.
11 For he's saying Jeroboam will be killed by the sword, and the people will be taken away from their land into exile.”
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Amosa penei, E make auanei o Ieroboama i ka pahikaua, a e lawe pio ia'ku ka Iseraela mai ko lakou aina aku.
12 Amaziah said to Amos, “Go away prophet! Run away to the land of Judah. Go and prophesy there to earn your bread.
Olelo aku la hoi o Amazia ia Amosa, E ke kaula ike, o hele, e holo aku oe i ka aina o Iuda, a malaila e ai ai i ka berena, a e wanana malaila:
13 But don't ever prophesy again at Bethel, for this is where the king worships, the national Temple.”
A mai wanana hou ma Betela: no ka mea, he heiau keia no ke alii, a o ko ke alii hale noho keia.
14 But Amos replied, “I'm not a trained prophet, or the son of a prophet. I was just a shepherd, and also took care of fig trees.
Alaila, olelo aku la o Amosa, a i aku la ia Amazia, Aole wau he kaula mamua. aole hoi he keiki a ke kaula; aka, he hanai bipi wau, a he mea hoiliili hua sukamore:
15 The Lord took me from following my flock, and the Lord told me, ‘Go, and give my message to my people of Israel.’”
A lawe o Iehova ia'u mai ka hahai ana i na holoholona, a olelo mai o Iehova ia'u, E hele, e wanana aku i kuu poe kanaka i ka Iseraela.
16 So now hear what the Lord is telling you: You say, “Don't prophesy against Israel, and don't preach against the descendants of Isaac.”
Ano hoi, e hoolohe oe i ka olelo a Iehova; Ke olelo nei oe, Mai wanana ku e aku i ka Iseraela, a mai hapai ku e oe i kau olelo i ko ka hale o Isaaka.
17 But this is what the Lord says: Your wife will become a prostitute in the city; your sons and daughters will be killed by the sword. Your land will be measured and divided up, and you yourself will die in a foreign land. The people of Israel will definitely be taken from the land and go into exile.
No ia mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, penei: E moe kolohe kau wahine ma ke kulanakauhale, a o kau mau keikikane, a me kau mau kaikamahine, e haule lakou i ka pahikaua, A e puunaueia kou aina me ke kaula-ana: a e make oe ma ka aina haumia; A e hele pio aku ka Iseraela mai ko lakou aina aku.
