Amos 4

1 Heare this worde, ye kine of Bashan that are in the mountaine of Samaria, which oppresse the poore, and destroy the needie, and they say to their masters, Bring, and let vs drinke.

Fanongo ki he lea, ʻakimoutolu ko e fanga pulu ʻa Pesani, ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo Samēlia, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku fakamālohiʻi ʻae masiva, pea ʻoku taʻomia ai ʻae paea, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku mou pehē ki honau ngaahi ʻeiki, “ʻOmi, ka mau inu.”

2 The Lord God hath sworne by his holines, that loe, the dayes shall come vpon you, that hee wil take you away with thornes, and your posteritie with fish hookes.

Kuo fuakava ki heʻene māʻoniʻoni ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho kiate kimoutolu ʻaia ʻe ʻave kimoutolu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi mātaʻu, pea mo homou hako ʻaki ʻae mātaʻu ika.

3 And ye shall goe out at the breaches euery kow forward: and ye shall cast your selues out of the palace, saith the Lord.

Pea te mou ʻalu kituʻa ʻi he ngaahi ava, ʻae fanga pulu kotoa pē ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻi hono ʻao, pea te mou lī ʻakinautolu ki he fale fakaʻeiʻeiki,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

4 Come to Beth-el, and transgresse: to Gilgal, and multiplie transgression, and bring your sacrifices in the morning, and your tithes after three yeres.

“Haʻu ki Peteli, pea fai hala; ki Kilikali, pea fakalahi ʻae talangataʻa; pea ʻomi hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē, mo hoʻomou fatongia lotu hili ʻae taʻu ʻe tolu;

5 And offer a thankesgiuing of leauen, publish and proclaime the free offrings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord God.

Pea hifo ʻaki ʻae feilaulau fakafetaʻi mo e meʻa fakatapu, pea malangaʻaki mo fakahā ʻae ngaahi hifo mataʻataʻatā: he ʻoku mou manako ai, ʻe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

6 And therefore haue I giuen you cleannes of teeth in all your cities, and scarcenesse of bread in all your places, yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.

“Pea naʻaku tuku ʻae nifo maʻa kiate kimoutolu ʻi homou ngaahi kolo kotoa pē, pea mo e masiva mā ʻi homou ngaahi potu kotoa pē: ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tafoki kiate au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

7 And also I haue withholden the raine from you, when there were yet three moneths to the haruest, and I caused it to raine vpon one citie, and haue not caused it to raine vpon another citie: one piece was rained vpon, and the piece whereupon it rained not, withered.

“Pea naʻaku taʻofi foki ʻae ʻuha meiate kimoutolu, ʻi he kei toe ʻae māhina ʻe tolu ki he ututaʻu: pea naʻaku pehē ke ʻuha ki he kolo ʻe taha, kae ʻikai ke ʻuha ki he kolo ʻe taha: naʻe ʻuha ki he potu ʻe taha, pea ko e potu naʻe ʻikai ke ʻuha ki ai ne mae ia.

8 So two or three cities wandred vnto one citie to drinke water, but they were not satisfied: yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.

Pea naʻe fononga ʻae kolo ʻe ua pe tolu ki he kolo ʻe taha, ke inu vai; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fiu: ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tafoki kiate au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

9 I haue smitten you with blasting, and mildewe: your great gardens and your vineyardes, and your figtrees, and your oliue trees did the palmer worme deuoure: yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.

“Kuo taaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae mae mo e mahunu: ʻi he tupu ʻa hoʻomou ngoue, mo e ngoue vaine, mo e ʻakau ko e fiki mo e ʻolive, naʻe kai ia ʻe he ʻunufe maumau: ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tafoki kiate au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

10 Pestilence haue I sent among you, after the maner of Egypt: your yong men haue I slaine with the sworde, and haue taken away your horses: and I haue made the stinke of your tentes to come vp euen into your nostrels: yet haue yee not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.

“Kuo fekau kiate kimoutolu ʻae mahaki lahi ʻo hangē ko ʻIsipite: kuo tāmateʻi hoʻomou kau talavou ʻaki ʻae heletā, pea kuo ʻave hoʻomou fanga hoosi: pea kuo u ngaohi ke hoko ʻae namukū ʻoe nofoʻanga ʻo homou kau tau ki homou avaʻi ihu: ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tafoki kiate au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

11 I haue ouerthrowe you, as God ouerthrew Sodom and Gomorah: and ye were as a firebrand pluckt out of the burning: yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.

“Kuo u fulihi hoʻomou niʻihi, hangē naʻe fulihi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Sotoma mo Komola, pea naʻa mou hangē ko e potupotuʻi afi kuo hamusi mei he vela: ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tafoki kiate au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

12 Therefore, thus wil I do vnto thee, O Israel: and because I wil doe this vnto thee, prepare to meete thy God, O Israel.

“Ko ia, ʻe pehē pe ʻa ʻeku fai kiate koe, ʻe ʻIsileli: pea koeʻuhi te u fai eni kiate koe, teuteu ke feʻiloaki mo ho ʻOtua, ʻe ʻIsileli.

13 For lo, he that formeth the mountaines, and createth the winde, and declareth vnto man what is his thought: which maketh the morning darkenesse, and walketh vpon the hie places of the earth, the Lord God of hostes is his Name.

Koeʻuhi, vakai, ko ia ia naʻe ngaohi ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, pea ne fakatupu ʻae matangi, pea ʻoku ne fakahā ki he tangata pe ko e hā ʻene mahalo, ʻoku ne ngaohi ʻae pongipongi ko e poʻuli, pea ʻoku ne malaki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo māmani, Ko Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻa hono huafa.”
