Amos 6
1 Woe [to] those secure in Zion, And those confident on the mountain of Samaria, The marked of the chief of the nations, And the house of Israel has come to them.
Aue, te mate mo te hunga e noho humarie ana i Hiona, mo te hunga hoki e whakawhirinaki ana ki te maunga o Hamaria, nga tangata whai ingoa o te tuatahi o nga iwi, i tae atu nei te whare o Iharaira ki a ratou.
2 Pass over [to] Calneh and see, And go there [to] Hamath the great, And go down [to] Gath of the Philistines, Are [they] better than these kingdoms? [Is] their border greater than your border?
Haere tonu ki Karane titiro ai, haere atu i reira ki Hamata nui; haere tonu atu ki Kata o nga Pirihitini: he pai atu ranei i enei kingitanga? nui atu ranei to ratou rohe i to koutou rohe?
3 Who are putting away the day of evil, And you bring the seat of violence near,
E te hunga e whakamatara atu na i te ra kino, e mea na i te nohoanga o te tutu kia tata mai;
4 Who are lying down on beds of ivory, And are spread out on their couches, And are eating lambs from the flock, And calves from the midst of the stall,
E takoto na i runga i te moenga rei, e wharoro na i runga i o ratou takotoranga, e kai na i nga reme o te kahui, i nga kuao kau o waenganui i te turanga kau;
5 Who are taking part according to the stringed instrument, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music;
E waiata na i nga waiata poauau ki te rangi hatere; e whakaaroa ana hoki e ratou nga mea whakatangi, e pera ana me Rawiri;
6 Who are drinking with bowls of wine, And anoint themselves [with] chief perfumes, And have not been pained for the breach of Joseph.
E inu ana i te waina o nga peihana, a e whakawahi ana i a ratou ki nga hinu pai rawa; kahore ia o ratou pouri mo te aitua o Hohepa.
7 Therefore they now go at the head of the captives, And the mourning-feast of stretched-out ones is turned aside.
Na aianei ko ratou ki mua ka whakaraua atu o te hunga e whakaraua ana, a ka kore te hakari a te hunga i wharoro ra.
8 Lord YHWH has sworn by Himself, A declaration of YHWH, God of Hosts: “I am abominating the excellence of Jacob, And his high places I have hated, And I have delivered up the city and its fullness.”
Kua oatitia te Ariki, a Ihowa, e ia ano, e ai ta Ihowa, ta te Atua o nga mano, E whakarihariha ana ahau ki ta Hakopa e whakai na, e kino ana ki ona whare kingi: mo reira ka tukua atu e ahau te pa me nga mea i roto.
9 And if there are left ten persons in one house, It has come to pass—that they have died.
Na, ki te toe nga tangata kotahi tekau i roto i te whare kotahi, ka mate ratou.
10 And his loved one has lifted him up, even his burner, To bring forth the bones from the house, And he said to him who [is] in the sides of the house, “Is there [any] yet with you?” And he said, “None,” Then he said, “Hush! We must not make mention of the Name of YHWH.”
A, ki te tangohia ake tetahi e tona matua keke, ara e te kaitahu mona, kia maua mai ai nga wheua i roto i te whare, a ka mea ia ki te tangata i roto rawa i te whare, He tangata ano ranei tena kei a koe na? a ka mea ia, Kahore; katahi ia ka mea, Whakarongoa; e kore hoki tatou e whakahua i te ingoa o Ihowa.
11 For behold, YHWH is commanding, And He has struck the great house [with] breaches, And the little house [with] clefts.
No te mea, nana, kei te whakahau a Ihowa, a ka patua te whare nui ki nga pakaru, te whare iti ki nga ngatata.
12 Do horses run on a rock? Does one plow [it] with oxen? For you have turned judgment to gall, And the fruit of righteousness to wormwood.
E rere ranei te hoiho i runga i te kamaka? e parautia ranei a reira ki te kau? i whakaputaina ketia ai e koutou te whakawa hei au, nga hua hoki o te tika hei taru kawa.
13 O you who are rejoicing at nothing, Who are saying, “Have we not taken to ourselves horns by our strength?”
E koa na hoki koutou ki te kahore noa iho, e mea na, He teka ianei kua riro mai he haona i a tatou, he mea na to tatou uaua?
14 “Surely, behold, I am raising a nation against you, O house of Israel,” A declaration of YHWH, God of Hosts, “And they have oppressed you from the coming in to Hamath, To the stream of the desert.”
Otiia, nana, ka ara i ahau tetahi iwi ki a koutou, e te whare o Iharaira, e ai ta Ihowa, ta te Atua o nga mano, a ka whakatupuria kinotia koutou e ratou i te haerenga atu ki Hamata a tae noa ki te awa o te Arapa.
