Amos 1
1 The words of 'Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he foresaw concerning Israel in the days of 'Uzziyah the king of Judah, and in the days of Jerobo'am the son of Joash the king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
Ko nga kupu a Amoho, a tetahi o nga kaitiaki hipi o Tekoa, ko tana i kite ai mo Iharaira i nga ra o Utia kingi o Hura, i nga ra hoki o Ieropoama tama a Ioaha, kingi o Iharaira, e rua nga tau i mua ake o te ru.
2 And he said, The Lord will cry aloud out of Zion, and from Jerusalem will he send forth his voice; and then shall mourn the pastures of the shepherds, and then shall dry up the top of Carmel.
A i mea ia, Ka hamama a Ihowa i Hiona, ka puaki hoki tona reo i Hiruharama; a ka tangi nga haerenga hipi a nga hepara, ka maroke hoki te tihi o Karamere.
3 Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have threshed [the inhabitants of] Gil'ad with threshing instruments of iron;
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka toru nei nga pokanga ketanga o Ramahiku, ae ra, ka wha, na e kore e whakatahuritia atu e ahau te whiu mona; kua patua a wititia hoki e ratou a Kireara ki nga patu rino:
4 And I will send a fire into the house of Chazael, which shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
Engari ka tukua atu e ahau he ahi ki te whare o Hataere, a ka pau i reira nga whare kingi o Peneharara.
5 And I will break the bars of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitants from the valley of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of 'Eden: and the people of Syria shall be exiled unto Kir, saith the Lord.
A ka whati i ahau te tutaki tatau o Ramahiku, ka hatepea atu hoki te tangata noho o te raorao o Awene, me te kaipupuri hepeta o te whare o Erene: ka whakaraua atu ano te iwi o Hiria ki Kiri, e ai ta Ihowa.
6 Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Gazzah, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they carried away exiles in full numbers, to deliver them up to Edom;
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka toru nei nga pokanga ketanga o Kaha, ae ra, ka wha, na e kore e whakatahuritia atu e ahau te whiu mona: no te mea i whakaraua e ratou te iwi katoa, hei tuku atu ma ratou ki Eroma.
7 And I will send a fire against the wall of Gazzah, which shall devour her palaces;
Engari ka tukua atu e ahau he ahi ki te taiepa o Kaha, a ka pau i reira ona whare kingi.
8 And I will cut off the inhabitants from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against 'Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord Eternal.
A ka hatepea atu e ahau te tangata noho o Aharoro, me te kaipupuri hepeta i Ahakerono; ka tahuri hoki toku ringa ki Ekerono, a ka ngaro te morehu o nga Pirihitini, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
9 Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they delivered up the exiles in full numbers to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant;
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka toru nei nga pokanga ketanga o Taira, ae ra, ka wha, na e kore e whakatahuritia atu e ahau te whiu mona; no te mea i tukua e ratou te iwi katoa ki Eroma, a kihai i mahara ki te kawenata a te tuakana ki te teina.
10 And I will send a fire against the walls of Tyre, which shall devour her palaces.
Engari ka tukua atu e ahau he ahi ki te taiepa o Taira, a ka pau i reira ona whare kingi.
11 Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because he pursued with the sword his brother, and disregarded his mercy, and his anger tore in pieces continually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka toru nei nga pokanga ketanga o Eroma, ae ra, ka wha, na e kore e whakatahuritia atu e ahau te whiu mona; no te mea i whaia e ia tona teina ki te hoari, a maka atu ana e ia te aroha katoa, heoi haehae tonu tona riri, rongoa tonu ia i tona riri a ake ake.
12 And I will send out a fire against Theman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
Engari ka tukua e ahau he ahi ki Temana, a pau ake i reira nga whare kingi o Potora.
13 Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of the children of 'Ammon, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have ripped up the pregnant women of Gil'ad, in order to enlarge their own territory;
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka toru nei nga pokanga ketanga o nga tama a Amona, ae ra, ka wha, na e kore e whakatahuritia atu e ahau te whiu mona; no te mea kua pipiripia e ratou nga wahine hapu o Kireara, he mea kia nui ake ai te rohe ki a ratou.
14 And I will kindle a fire within the walls of Rabbah, which shall devour her palaces, with shouting on the day of battle, with a storm on the day of the tempest;
Engari ka ngiha i ahau he ahi ki runga ki te taiepa o Rapa, a ka pau i reira ona whare kingi, i runga i te hamama i te ra o te whawhai, i te paroro i te ra o te tukauati.
15 And their king shall go into exile, he and his princes together, saith the Lord.
A ka riro to ratou kingi i te whakarau, ratou tahi ko ana rangatira, e ai ta Ihowa.
