Amos 8
1 Thus hath the Lord God shewed vnto me, and behold, a basket of summer fruite.
I whakakitea ano tenei e te Ariki, e Ihowa, ki ahau; na, he kete hua raumati.
2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I sayd, A basket of sommer fruite. Then sayd the Lord vnto me, The ende is come vpon my people of Israel, I wil passe by them no more.
Na ka mea ia, Ko te aha te kitea ana e koe, e Amoho? Ano ra ko ahau, He kete hua raumati. Ano ra ko Ihowa ki ahau, Kua tae mai te mutunga ki taku iwi, ki a Iharaira: e kore ta ratou e whakarerea noatia e ahau a muri ake nei.
3 And the songs of the Temple shalbe howlings in that day, saith the Lord God: many dead bodies shalbe in euery place: they shall cast them forth with silence.
He aue ano nga waiata o te temepara i taua ra, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa; ka maha nga tinana mate i nga wahi katoa; ka akiritia pukutia atu.
4 Heare this, O yee that swallowe vp the poore, that ye may make the needie of the lande to fayle,
Whakarongo ki tenei, e te hunga i horomia ai te rawakore, i meinga ai te hunga iti o te whenua kia ngohe;
5 Saying, When will the newe moneth bee gone, that we may sell corne? and the Sabbath, that we may set forth wheate, and make the Ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifie the weights by deceit?
E ki ana koutou, A hea pahemo ai te kowhititianga marama, kia hoko witi ai tatou? te hapati hoki, kia whakaputaia atu ai te witi e tatou? ka meinga te epa kia iti, te hekere kia nui, me te teka ki nga pauna tinihanga;
6 That we may buy the poore for siluer, and the needie for shooes: yea, and sell the refuse of the wheate.
Kia hokona ai e tatou nga ware ki te hiriwa, te rawakore ki nga hu e rua; na, ko te witi rukenga me hoko atu.
7 The Lord hath sworne by the excellencie of Iaakob, Surely I will neuer forget any of their workes.
Kua oatitia e Ihowa te nui o Hakopa, E kore ahau e wareware ki tetahi o a ratou mahi a ake ake.
8 Shall not the lande tremble for this, and euery one mourne, that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise vp wholy as a flood, and it shall bee cast out, and drowned as by the flood of Egypt.
E kore ianei te whenua e wiri ki tenei? e kore ianei te hunga katoa e noho ana i reira e tangi? ae ra, ka pari katoa ake nei hoki ano ko te awa; ka akina e te hau, ka hoki iho ano, ka pera me te awa o Ihipa.
9 And in that day, saith the Lord God, I will euen cause the sunne to go downe at noone: and I will darken the earth in the cleare day.
Na i taua ra, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, ka meinga e ahau te ra kia toene i te awatea, a ka pouri i ahau te whenua i te mea e marama ana ano te ra:
10 And I will turne your feastes into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation: and I will bring sackcloth vpon all loynes, and baldnes vpon euery head: and I will make it as the mourning of an onely sonne, and the ende thereof as a bitter day.
Ka puta ke ano i ahau a koutou hakari hei tangihanga, a koutou waiata katoa hei apakura; he taratara taku kakahu mo nga hope katoa; mo nga mahunga katoa he pakira; ka rite i ahau ki te tangihanga ki te huatahi, a ko tona mutunga hei ra mamae.
11 Beholde, the dayes come, sayeth the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the lande, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of the Lord.
Nana, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, e tukua ai e ahau he hemokai ki te whenua, ehara i te hemokai taro, ehara ano i te matewai; engari he hiahia kia rongo i nga kupu a Ihowa.
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the North euen vnto the East shall they run to and from to seeke the worde of the Lord, and shall not finde it.
A ka atiutiu atu ratou i tetahi moana ki tetahi moana, i te raki ki te rawhiti; ka kopikopiko, he rapu i te kupu a Ihowa; heoi e kore e kitea.
13 In that day shall the faire virgines and the yong men perish for thirst.
I taua ra ka hemo nga wahine ataahua, me nga taitama, i te matewai.
14 They that sweare by the sinne of Samaria, and that say, Thy God, O Dan, liueth, and the maner of Beer-sheba liueth, euen they shall fall, and neuer rise vp againe.
Na, ko te hunga e oati ana i te he o Hamaria, e ki ana, Kei te ora tou Atua, e Rana; me tenei, Kei te ora te tikanga o Peerehepa; ka taka rawa ratou, e kore ano e ara a muri ake nei.
