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 e ngaahi lea ʻa ʻAmosi, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he kau tauhimanu ʻo Tikoa, ko e meʻa naʻa ne mamata ai ʻoku kau ki ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻUsaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi hono ua taʻu naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻi he mofuike.
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.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻE ʻuʻulu ʻa Sihova mei Saione, pea ʻe fakaongo hono leʻo mei Selūsalema; pea ko e ngaahi fale ʻoe kau tauhimanu ʻe tangi, pea ʻe mōmoa ʻae tumutumu ʻo Kameli.”
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;
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻa Tamasikusi, pea mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe ʻae tautea mei ai; he kuo nau haha ʻa Kiliati ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa haha ukamea:
4 And I will send a fire into the house of Chazael, which shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
Pea te u fekau ʻae afi ki he fale ʻo Hasaeli, ʻaia te ne kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo Penihatati.
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.
Te u fesiʻi foki ʻae vaʻa ʻo Tamasikusi, pea te u motuhi ʻae kakai mei he toafa ko ʻAveni, pea mo ia ʻoku maʻu ʻae tokotoko mei he fale ʻo ʻIteni: pea ʻe ʻalu pōpula ʻae kakai Silia ki Kili,” he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
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;
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻa Kesa, pea mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe [ʻae tautea ]mei ai; he naʻa nau ʻave pōpula ʻae kau pōpula kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke nau tuku ʻakinautolu ki ʻItomi:
7 And I will send a fire against the wall of Gazzah, which shall devour her palaces;
Ka te u fekau ʻae afi ki he ʻā ʻo Kesa, ʻaia te ne kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻi ai:
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.
Pea te u motuhi ʻae kakai mei ʻAsitoti, pea mo ia ʻoku maʻu ʻae tokotoko mei ʻAsikeloni, pea te u hiki hoku nima ki ʻEkiloni: pea ko e toenga ʻoe kau Filisitia ʻe ʻauha,” he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
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;
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻa Taia, pea mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe [hono tautea ]ʻo ia; he naʻa nau tuku ʻae kau pōpula kotoa pē ki ʻItomi, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau manatuʻi ʻae fuakava fakakāinga:
10 And I will send a fire against the walls of Tyre, which shall devour her palaces.
Ka te u fekau ʻae afi ki he ʻā ʻo Taia, ʻaia te ne kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻi ai.”
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:
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻa ʻItomi, pea mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe [hono tautea ]ʻo ia; he naʻa ne tuli hono tokoua ʻaki ʻae heletā, pea naʻe liʻaki ʻae manavaʻofa, pea naʻe haeʻi ʻe ia ʻi heʻene ʻita maʻuaipē, pea naʻa ne fakatolonga ʻene lili ʻo taʻengata:
12 And I will send out a fire against Theman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
Ka te u fekau ʻae afi ki Timani, ʻaia ʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo Posila.”
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;
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe [honau tautea]; he naʻa nau haeʻi ʻae kau fefine feitama ʻi Kiliati, koeʻuhi ke nau totolo mai honau mata fonua:
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;
Ka te u tutu ʻae afi ʻi he ʻā ʻo Lapa, pea te ne kai ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo ia, ʻi he kaila ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe tau, mo e afā ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻahiohio:
15 And their king shall go into exile, he and his princes together, saith the Lord.
Pea ʻe ʻalu honau tuʻi ki he pōpula, ʻaia mo hono ngaahi houʻeiki fakataha,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
