Amos 8

1 Thus hath the Lord God shewed vnto me, and behold, a basket of summer fruite.

‌ʻOku pehē hono fakahā mai kiate au ʻe he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua: pea vakai, ko e kato fuaʻi ʻakau ʻoe faʻahitaʻu mafana.

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.

Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻAmosi, Ko e hā ʻoku ke mamata ai?” Pea u pehē, “Ko e kato fuaʻi ʻakau ʻoe faʻahitaʻu mafana.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Kuo hoko hono ngataʻanga ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli; ʻe ʻikai te u toe laka ʻiate kinautolu.”

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.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻE hoko ʻae ngaahi hiva ʻoe fale tapu, ko e tangi fakalōloa ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: ʻe lahi ʻae ʻangaʻanga ʻi he potu kotoa pē; ʻe lī ʻakinautolu kituʻa ʻi he fakalongo pē.

4 Heare this, O yee that swallowe vp the poore, that ye may make the needie of the lande to fayle,

Fanongo eni, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku folo hifo ʻae paea, ʻio, ke fakaʻosi ʻae kakai masiva mei he fonua,

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?

‌ʻO pehē, ‘ʻE ʻosi ʻafē ʻae māhina foʻou, ka tau fakatau koane? Pea mo e ʻaho tapu, ka tau vakili ʻae uite, ʻo fakasiʻisiʻi ʻae efa, pea fakalahi ʻae sikeli, pea fakakehe ʻae meʻa fua tautau ʻi he kākā?

6 That we may buy the poore for siluer, and the needie for shooes: yea, and sell the refuse of the wheate.

Pea ke tau fakatau ʻae kakai masiva ʻaki ʻae siliva, pea mo e paea ʻaki ha topuvaʻe: pea ke fakatau ʻae uite kovi?’”

7 The Lord hath sworne by the excellencie of Iaakob, Surely I will neuer forget any of their workes.

Kuo fuakava ʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻae lelei ʻo Sēkope, “Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au ʻenau ngaahi ngāue ʻo lauikuonga.

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.

‌ʻIkai ʻe tetetete ʻae fonua koeʻuhi ko eni, pea taki taha tangi ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi ai? Pea ʻe tupu kātoa ia ʻo hangē ko e lōmaki; pea ʻe lī ia kituʻa ʻo melemo, hangē ko e malofa ʻi ʻIsipite.

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.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, te u pule ke tō ʻae laʻā ʻi he hoʻatāmālie, pea te u fakapoʻuliʻi ʻa māmani ʻi he kei ʻaho ʻaupito:

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.

Pea te u liliu hoʻomou ngaahi kātoanga ko e tangi, pea mo hoʻomou hiva kotoa pē ki he tangilāulau; pea te u ʻomi ʻae tauangaʻa ki homou kongaloto kotoa pē, pea ʻe tekefua ʻae ʻulu kotoa pē; pea te u ngaohi ia ke hangē ko e tangi koeʻuhi ko e pele pe taha, pea ko hono ngataʻanga ke hangē ko e ʻaho ʻoe mamahi kona.

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.

Vakai, ʻoku hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻAia te u fekau ʻae honge ki he fonua, kae ʻikai ko e honge mā, pe ko e fieinu vai, ka ko e fanongo ki he ngaahi folofola ʻa Sihova:

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.

Pea te nau ʻāuhē mei he tahi ki he tahi, pea mei he tokelau ki hahake, te nau lele fano pe ke kumi ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ka ʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ia.

13 In that day shall the faire virgines and the yong men perish for thirst.

‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe pongia ʻae kau taʻahine hoihoifua, mo e kau talavou ʻi he fieinu.

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.

Ko kinautolu ʻoku fuakava ki he angahala ʻa Samēlia, pea lea pehē, ‘ʻOku moʻui ho ʻotua, ʻe Tani;’ pea ‘Ko e anga ʻo Peasipa ʻoku moʻui;’ te nau tō, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toetuʻu ʻo lauikuonga.”
