Amos 2
1 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Moab, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka toru nei nga pokanga ketanga o Moapa, ae ra, ka wha, na e kore e whakatahuritia atu e ahau te whiu mona; no te mea nana i tahu nga wheua o te kingi o Eroma hei kotakota.
2 So will I send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the horn;
Engari ka tukua atu e ahau he ahi ki Moapa, a ka pau i reira nga whare kingi o Kirioto; a ka mate a Moapa i runga i te ngangau, i te hamama, i te tangi o te tetere.
3 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.
A ka hatepea atu e ahau te kaiwhakawa i roto i a ia, ka patua ratou tahi ko nga rangatira katoa o reira, e ai ta Ihowa.
4 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Judah, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they have rejected the law of the LORD, and have not kept His statutes, and their lies have caused them to err, after which their fathers did walk.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka toru nei nga pokanga ketanga o Hura, ae ra, ka wha, na e kore e whakatahuritia atu e ahau te whiu mona; no te mea kua whakahawea ratou ki te ture a Ihowa, kihai hoki i pupuri i ana tikanga, a kua meinga ratou e a rato u korero teka kia kotiti ke, i whaia nei e o ratou matua.
5 So will I send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
Engari ka tukua e ahau he ahi ki a Hura, a pau ake i reira nga whare kingi o Hiruharama.
6 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Israel, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka toru nei nga pokanga ketanga o Iharaira, ae ra, ka wha, na e kore e whakatahuritia atu e ahau te whiu mona; no te mea kua hokona e ratou te tangata tika ki te hiriwa, te rawakore ki nga hu e rua.
7 That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the humble; and a man and his father go unto the same maid, to profane My holy name;
E minamina ana ratou ki te puehu o te whenua i runga i te mahunga o nga ware: a whakaparoritia ake e ratou te ara o te hunga mahaki: a ka haere te tangata raua ko tona papa ki te kotiro kotahi hei whakapoke i toku ingoa tapu.
8 And they lay themselves down beside every altar upon clothes taken in pledge, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of them that have been fined.
Na takoto ana ratou ki te taha o nga aata katoa i runga i nga kakahu i homai hei taunaha, a i roto i te whare o to ratou atua kei te inu ratou i te waina a te hunga i whakataua nei te he ki a ratou.
9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
Otiia i whakangaromia e ahau te Amori i to ratou aroaro, ko tona roa koia ano kei te roa o te hita, a he kaha ia, pera i nga oki: heoi whakangaromia ana e ahau ona hua i runga, ona pakiaka i raro.
10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorites.
I kawea mai ano hoki koutou e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa, a e wha tekau nga tau i arahina ai koutou i te koraha, he mea kia riro mai ai te whenua o te Amori.
11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD.
A i whakaarahia ake e ahau etahi o a koutou tama hei poropiti, etahi hoki o a koutou taitama hei Natari. He teka ianei tena, e nga tama a Iharaira? e ai ta Ihowa.
12 But ye gave the Nazirites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying: 'Prophesy not.'
Heoi i whakainumia e koutou nga Natari ki te waina, a i ako hoki ki nga poropiti, i mea, Kaua e poropiti.
13 Behold, I will make it creak under you, as a cart creaketh that is full of sheaves.
Nana, ka pehia koutou e ahau ki to koutou wahi, ka pera i te pehanga a te kata e ki ana i nga paihere.
14 And flight shall fail the swift, and the strong shall not exert his strength, neither shall the mighty deliver himself;
Na ka kore te oma i te tangata tere, e kore e nui ake te kaha o te tangata kaha, e kore hoki te marohirohi e mawhiti i te mate:
15 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself; neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself;
E kore ano te kaipupuri o te kopere e tu; e kore hoki te wae tere e whakaora i a ia ano: e kore ano hoki te tangata eke hoiho e mawhiti i te mate.
16 And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
A, ko te tangata maia i roto i nga marohirohi, ka rere tahanga atu i taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa.
