Amos 3

1 Heare this worde that the Lord pronounceth against you, O children of Israel, euen against the whole familie which I brought vp from the land of Egypt, saying,

Fanongo ki he folofola ni ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ne folofolaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ki he kau nofoʻanga kotoa pē naʻaku ʻomi mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo pehē,

2 You onely haue I knowen of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visite you for all your iniquities.

“Ko kimoutolu pe kuo u ʻilo ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo māmani: ko ia te u tautea ʻakimoutolu koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou angahia kotoa pē.”

3 Can two walke together except they bee agreed?

‌ʻE faʻa ʻaʻeva ha toko ua, ka ʻoku ʻikai te na feʻofoʻofani pe?

4 Will a lion roare in ye forest, when he hath no pray? or wil a lions whelpe cry out of his den, if he haue taken nothing?

‌ʻE ngungulu ha laione ʻi he vao ʻakau, ʻoka ʻikai ha meʻakai? ʻE tangi ha laione mui ʻi hono ʻana, ʻi he ʻikai te ne moʻua ha meʻa?

5 Can a birde fall in a snare vpon the earth, where no fouler is? or will he take vp the snare from the earth, and haue taken nothing at all?

‌ʻE moʻua ha manupuna ʻi he fonua ʻoka ʻikai tauheleʻi? ʻE toʻo ʻae tauhele mei he fonua, ʻoku teʻeki ke tō ki ai ha meʻa siʻi ʻe taha?

6 Or shall a trumpet be blowen in the citie, and the people be not afraide? or shall there be euil in a citie, and the Lord hath not done it?

‌ʻE ifi ʻae meʻalea ʻi he kolo, ka ʻe ʻikai manavahē ʻae kakai? ʻE hoko ha kovi ki he kolo, ka kuo ʻikai fai ia ʻe Sihova?

7 Surely the Lord God will doe nothing, but he reueileth his secrete vnto his seruantes the Prophets.

Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai fai ha meʻa ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, kae taʻefakahā ia ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita.

8 The lyon hath roared: who will not bee afraide? the Lord God hath spoken: who can but prophecie?

Kuo ngungulu ʻae laione, ko hai ʻe ʻikai manavahē? Kuo folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko hai ʻe ʻikai kikite?

9 Proclayme in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the lande of Egypt, and saye, Assemble your selues vpon the mountaines of Samaria: so beholde the great tumultes in the middes thereof, and the oppressed in the middes thereof.

Fanongonongo ʻi he ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo ʻAsitoti, pea ʻi he ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻo pehē, “Fakataha ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo Samēlia, pea vakai ʻae ngaahi maveuveu lahi ʻi ai, pea mo e fakamālohia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ia.”

10 For they knowe not to doe right, sayth the Lord: they store vp violence, and robbery in their palaces.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ke fai totonu, ʻoku fokotuʻu ʻae fakamālohi mo e kaihaʻa ʻi honau fale fakaʻeiʻeiki.”

11 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, An aduersary shall come euen rounde about the countrey, and shall bring downe thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shalbe spoyled.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻE ai ha fili te ne takatakai ʻae fonua; pea te ne holoki hoʻo mālohi meiate koe, pea ʻe maumauʻi ho ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki.”

12 Thus saieth the Lord, As the shephearde taketh out of the mouth of the lyon two legges, or a piece of an eare: so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus, as in a couche.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Hangē ʻoku toʻo ʻe he tangata tauhimanu ʻae alanga ʻe ua, pe ko e konga ʻoe telinga mei he ngutu ʻoe laione; ʻe pehē ʻae toʻo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoku nofo ʻi he tuliki ʻoe moheʻanga ʻi Samēlia, pea ʻi he tokotoʻanga ʻi Tamasikusi.”

13 Heare, and testifie in the house of Iaakob, saith the Lord God, the God of hostes.

“Mou fanongo, pea fakahā ʻi he fale ʻo Sēkope,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

14 Surely in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel vpon him, I wil also visite the altars of Beth-el, and the hornes of the altar shall be broken off, and fall to the ground.

“Koeʻuhi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, te u ʻaʻahi ki he ngaahi talangataʻa ʻa ʻIsileli ʻiate ia, te u ʻaʻahi foki ki he ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻo Peteli: pea ʻe tutuʻu ʻae ngaahi nifo ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, pea te nau tō ki he kelekele.

15 And I wil smite the winter house with the sommer house, and the houses of yuorie shall perish, and the great houses shalbe consumed, sayth the Lord.

Pea te u taaʻi ʻae fale ʻoe faʻahitaʻu momoko fakataha mo e fale ʻoe faʻahitaʻu mafana; pea mo e ngaahi fale lei ʻe ʻauha, pea ʻe ʻosi ʻae ngaahi fale lahi,” he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
