Amos 2

1 Thus sayth the Lord, For three transgressions of Moab, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because it burnt the bones of the King of Edom into lime.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻa Moape, mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe [hono tautea ʻo ia]; he naʻa ne taʻo ʻae ngaahi hui ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi ke lahe:

2 Therefore will I send a fire vpon Moab, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Kerioth, and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of a trumpet.

Ka te u fekau ʻae afi ki Moape, pea te ne kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo Kiliote: pea ʻe mate ʻa Moape ʻi he maveuveu, mo e kaila, pea mo e ongo ʻoe meʻalea:

3 And I will cut off the iudge out of the mids thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, sayth the Lord.

Pea te u motuhi ʻae fakamaau mei honau haʻohaʻonga, pea tāmateʻi ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē mo ia:” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”

4 Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions of Iudah, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because they haue cast away the Lawe of the Lord, and haue not kept his commandementes, and their lies caused them to erre after the which their fathers haue walked.

ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻa Siuta, pea mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe hono [tautea ʻo ia]; he kuo nau vaʻinga ʻaki ʻae fono ʻa Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau, pea naʻa nau hē ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau loi, ʻaia naʻe muimui ki ai ʻenau ngaahi tamai:

5 Therefore will I send a fire vpon Iudah, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Ierusalem.

Ka te u fekau ʻae afi ki Siuta, pea te ne kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo Selūsalema.”

6 Thus sayth the Lord, For three transgressions of Israel, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because they solde the righteous for siluer and the poore for shooes.

ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻa ʻIsileli, pea mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe [hono tautea ʻo ia]; he kuo nau fakatau ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni ki he siliva, pea mo e kakai masiva ʻaki ha topuvaʻe;

7 They gape ouer the head of the poore, in the dust of the earth, and peruert the wayes of the meeke: and a man and his father will goe in to a mayde to dishonour mine holy Name.

‌ʻAia ʻoku feinga ke ʻai ʻae efu ʻoe kelekele ʻi he ʻulu ʻoe kakai masiva, pea ʻoku fakahēʻi ʻae hala ʻoe angamalū: pea ko e tangata mo ʻene tamai ʻoku na mohe ki he fefine pe taha, ke fakaongokovi hoku huafa tāpuhā:

8 And they lye downe vpon clothes layde to pledge by euery altar: and they drinke the wine of the condemned in the house of their God.

Pea ʻoku nau tokoto ʻi he ngaahi kofu ʻoku tuku ko e fakamoʻoni ki he totongi ʻi he veʻe feilaulauʻanga kotoa pē, pea ʻoku nau inu ʻae uaine ʻoe halaia ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau tamapua.

9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite before the, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the okes: notwithstanding I destroyed his fruite from aboue, and his roote from beneath.

Ka naʻaku fakaʻauha ʻae kakai ʻAmoli ʻi honau ʻao, ʻaia naʻe māʻolunga hangē ko e sita, pea naʻe mālohi hangē ko e oke; ka naʻaku fakaʻauha hono fua mei ʻolunga, pea mo hono aka ʻi lalo.

10 Also I brought you vp from the land of Egypt, and led you fourtie yeres thorowe the wildernesse, to possesse the land of the Amorite.

Pea naʻaku ʻomi foki ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea naʻaku tataki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he toafa ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, ke maʻu ʻae fonua ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli.

11 And I raysed vp of your sonnes for Prophets, and of your yong men for Nazarites. Is it not euen thus, O ye children of Israel, sayth the Lord?

Pea naʻaku tuʻutuʻuni mei ho ngaahi foha ʻae kau palōfita, pea mei hoʻo kau talavou ʻae kakai naʻe fakamavahe. ʻIkai ʻoku pehē pe, ʻe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli?” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

12 But ye gaue the Nazarites wine to drinke, and commanded the Prophetes, saying, Prophecie not.

“Ka naʻa mou ʻatu ʻae uaine ke inu ʻe he kau Fakamavahe; pea ne mou fekau ʻae kau palōfita, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOua naʻa kikite.’

13 Behold, I am pressed vnder you as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaues.

Vakai, ʻoku ou taʻomia ʻiate kimoutolu, hangē ko e saliote ʻi he ngaahi ʻū koane.

14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mightie saue his life.

Ko ia ʻe mole ʻae faʻa lele mei he veʻe vave, pea ko e mālohi ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamālohiʻi ʻe ia ia; pea ʻe ʻikai fakahaofi ʻae mālohi ʻe ia ia:

15 Nor he that handleth the bowe, shall stand, and he that is swift of foote, shall not escape, neyther shall he that rideth the horse, saue his life.

Pea ʻe ʻikai tuʻu ia ʻoku ne teke ʻae kaufana; pea ʻe ʻikai fakahaofi ʻae veʻe vave ʻe ia ia: pea ko ia ʻoku heka hoosi ʻe ʻikai fakahaofi ʻe ia ia.

16 And he that is of a mighty courage among the strong men, shall flee away naked in that day, sayth the Lord.

Pea ko ia ʻoku lototoʻa ʻi he kau mālohi te ne hola telefua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
