Amos 2
1 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Moab, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his burning the bones of the king of Edom to 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 And I have sent a fire against Moab, And it has consumed the palaces of Kerioth, And Moab is dying with noise, With shouting, with voice of a 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 have cut off judge from her midst, And I slay all its heads with him,” said YHWH.
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 said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Judah, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their loathing the Law of YHWH, And His statutes they have not kept, And their lies cause them to err, After which their fathers walked,
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 And I have sent a fire against Judah, And it has consumed 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 said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Israel, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their selling the righteous for silver, And the needy for a pair of sandals.
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 Who are panting for the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, And the way of the humble they turn aside, And a man and his father go to the girl, So as to defile 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 stretch themselves on pledged garments near every altar, And the wine of fined ones they drink [in] the house of their gods.
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 And I have destroyed the Amorite from before them, Whose height [is] as the height of cedars, And he [is] strong as the oaks, And I destroy 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 And I have brought you up from the land of Egypt, And cause you to go in a wilderness forty years, To possess the land of the Amorite.
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 raise of your sons for prophets, And of your choice ones for Nazarites, Is this not true, O sons of Israel?” A declaration of YHWH.
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 “And you cause the Nazarites to drink wine, And on the prophets you have laid a charge, Saying, Do not prophesy!
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 am pressing you under, As the full cart presses a sheaf for itself.
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 refuge has perished from the swift, And the strong does not strengthens his power, And the mighty does not deliver his soul.
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 And the handler of the bow does not stand, And the swift does not deliver [himself] with his feet, And the rider of the horse does not deliver his soul.
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 the courageous of heart among the mighty, Flees naked in that day,” A declaration of YHWH!
A, ko te tangata maia i roto i nga marohirohi, ka rere tahanga atu i taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa.
