< Amos 5 >

1 Heare ye this worde, which I lift vp vpon you, euen a lamentation of the house of Israel.
E HOOLOHE oukou i keia olelo, a'u e hapai aku nei no oukou, Oia hoi, he kanikau, e ka hale o ka Iseraela.
2 The virgine Israel is fallen, and shall no more rise: shee is left vpon her lande, and there is none to raise her vp.
Ua haule, aole e ala hou ae, ke kaikamahine puupaa o ka Iseraela: Ua kulaina oia maluna o kona aina iho: Aohe mea nana ia e hoala.
3 For thus saith ye Lord God, The citie which went out by a thousand, shall leaue an hundreth: and that which went forth by an hundreth, shall leaue ten to the house of Israel.
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, peneia: O ko ke kulanakauhale i hele patausani aku, e koe mai no he haneri; A o ka mea i hele pahaneri aku, e koe mai no he umi, no ka hale o ka Iseraela.
4 For thus saith the Lord vnto the house of Israel, Seeke ye me, and ye shall liue.
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia i ka hale o ka Iseraela, E imi oukou ia'u, a e ola oukou.
5 But seeke not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and go not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall goe into captiuitie, and Beth-el shall come to nought.
Aka, mai imi oukou i Betela, Aole hoi e komo i Gilegala, Aole e hele aku i Beereseba; No ka mea, he oiaio, e hele pio aku ko Gilegala, A e lilo o Betela i mea ole.
6 Seeke the Lord, and yee shall liue, least he breake out like fire in the house of Ioseph and deuoure it, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.
E imi oukou ia Iehova, a e ola oukou; O lele mai ia, me he ahi la, ma ka hale o Iosepa, A e hoopau aku ia, Aohe mea nana ia e kinai ma Betela.
7 They turne iudgement to wormewood, and leaue off righteousnes in the earth.
E ka poe i hoolilo i ka olelo hoopono i mea awaawa, A hoolei i ka pono ma ka honua,
8 He maketh Pleiades, and Orion, and he turneth the shadowe of death into the morning, and he maketh the day darke as night: he calleth the waters of the sea, and powreth them out vpon the open earth: the Lord is his Name.
E imi i ka mea nana i hana ia Peleiade a me Oriona, A hoolilo i ka malu o ka make i malamalama, A hoopouli i ke ao a lilo i po: Ka mea e hoopii ana i na wai o ka moana, A ninini iho ia lakou maluna o ka ili o ka honua: O Iehova kona inoa:
9 He strengtheneth the destroyer against the mightie: and the destroyer shall come against the fortresse.
O ka mea e lawe mai i ka make maluna o ka poe ikaika, A e hoohiki mai i ka luku maluna o kahi paa.
10 They haue hated him, that rebuked in the gate: and they abhorred him that speaketh vprightly.
Ke inaina nei lakou i ka mea e ao ana ma ka pukapa, A hoowahawaha lakou i ka mea e olelo pono ana.
11 Forasmuch then as your treading is vpon the poore, and yee take from him burdens of wheate, ye haue built houses of hewen stone, but ye shall not dwel in them: ye haue plated pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drinke wine of them.
No ia mea, no ko oukou hehi ana maluna o ka ilihune, A ke lawe nei oukou i ka ai makana mai ona aku la: Ua hana oukou i na hale pohaku i kalaiia, Aka, aole oukou e noho iloko o lakou; Ua kanu oukou i na pawaina maikai, Aka, aole oukou e inu i ka waina o lakou.
12 For I know your manifold transgressions, and your mightie sinnes: they afflict the iust, they take rewards, and they oppresse the poore in ye gate.
No ka mea, ua ike au, he nui wale ko oukou lawehala ana, A me ko oukou mau hewa nui: E hoopilikia ana i ka poe hoopono, e lawe ana i ka uku kipe, A e hookahuli ana i ka pono o ka poe ilihune ma ka pukapa.
13 Therefore the prudent shall keepe silence in that time, for it is an euill time.
No ia mea, e noho malie ka mea naauao i kela manawa; No ka mea, he manawa ino ia.
14 Seeke good and not euil, that ye may liue: and the Lord God of hostes shalbe with you, as you haue spoken.
E imi oukou i ka maikai, aole i ka hewa, i ola oukou; A pela e mau ai o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua me oukou, e like me ka oukou i olelo ai.
15 Hate the euil, and loue the good, and establish iudgement in the gate: it may bee that the Lord God of hostes will be mercifull vnto the remnant of Ioseph.
E inaina i ka hewa, a e aloha i ka maikai, A e hookupaa oukou i ka hoopono ma ka pukapa: Malia paha e aloha mai o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, i ke koena o ka Iosepa.
16 Therfore the Lord God of hosts, the Lord saith thus, Mourning shalbe in all streetes: and they shall say in al the hie wayes, Alas, alas: and they shall call the husbandman to lamentation, and such as can mourne, to mourning.
No ia hoi, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, ka Haku, peneia; Ma na alanui a pau he auwe ana; A ma na wahi iwaho a pau, e olelo lakou, Auwe! auwe! A e kahea aku lakou i ka mea mahiai i ka u ana, A i ka poe ike e kanikau i ka uwe ana.
17 And in al the vines shalbe lamentation: for I wil passe through thee, saith the Lord.
A ma na pawaina a pau ka uwe ana: No ka mea, e hele auanei au iwaena ou, wahi a Iehova.
18 Woe vnto you, that desire the day of the Lord: what haue you to do with it? the day of the Lord is darkenes and not light.
Auwe ka poe iini i ka la o Iehova! No ke aha la keia ia oukou? O ka la o Iehova, he pouli ia, aole he malamalama.
19 As if a man did flee from a lyon, and a beare met him: or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
E like me ke kanaka i holo mai ke alo aku o ka liona, a halawai ka bea me ia: A i komo paha iloko o ka hale, a hilinai kona lima ma ka paia, a nahu mai ka nahesa ia ia.
20 Shal not the day of the Lord be darkenes, and not light? euen darkenes and no light in it?
Aole anei he pouli ka la o Iehova, me ka malamalama ole? A he pouli loa, aohe ona malamalama.
21 I hate and abhorre your feast dayes, and I wil not smelll in your solemne assemblies.
Ke inaina nei au, ke hoowahawaha nei au i ko oukou mau ahaaina, Aole wau e oluolu i ko oukou mau halawai ana.
22 Though ye offer me burnt offrings and meat offrings, I wil not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offrings of your fat beasts.
Ina e kaumaha mai oukou no'u i ka oukou mau mohai kuni, a me ka oukou mau mohai makana, aole au e oluolu ia mea: Aole hoi au e manao i ka mohai aloha o ko oukou mau mea momona.
23 Take thou away from me the multitude of thy songs (for I wil not heare the melodie of thy violes)
E lawe ae oe mai o'u aku nei i ke oli ana o ka oukou mau mele; Aole au e hoolohe i ke kani ana o ko oukou mau viola.
24 And let iudgement runne downe as waters, and righteousnesse as a mightie riuer.
Aka, e hookaheia ka hoopono ana e like me ka wai, A o ka pono e like me ka waikahe ikaika.
25 Haue ye offered vnto me sacrifices and offrings in the wildernesse fourtie yeeres, O house of Israel?
Ua kaumaha mai anei oukou na'u i na mohai, a me na makana ma ka waonahele i na makahiki he kanaha, e ka hale o ka Iseraela?
26 But you haue borne Siccuth your King, and Chiun your images, and the starre of your gods, which ye made to your selues.
Ua hali oukou i ka halelewa o ko oukou Moloka, A me ka hale o ko oukou mau kii, Ka hoku o ko oukou akua, ka mea a oukou i hana'i no oukou.
27 Therefore wil I cause you to goe into captiuitie beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose Name is the God of hostes.
Nolaila, e lawe pio aku au ia oukou ma o aku o Damaseko, wahi a Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, kona inoa.
