Amos 9

1 I saw the LORD standing beside the altar, and he said, "Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will kill the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape.

I kite ahau i te Ariki e tu ana i te taha o te aata. Na ka mea ia, Taia nga puku whakapaipai, kia ngarue ai nga paepae: akina kia pakaru rikiriki ki runga ki te mahunga o ratou katoa; a ka tukitukia e ahau nga whakamutunga o ratou ki te hoari: e kore rawa tetahi kotahi o ratou e rere, e kore hoki tetahi kotahi mawhiti.

2 Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

Ahakoa keri noa ratou, a tae noa ki te reinga, ka tikina atu ratou e toku ringa i reira; ahakoa kake ki te rangi, ka riro iho ano i ahau i reira. (Sheol h7585)

3 Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out there; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.

Ahakoa piri ratou ki te tihi o Karamere, ka rapua e ahau, ka tangohia mai i reira; ahakoa i huna atu ratou, kei kitea e ahau, ki te takere o te moana, ka whakahaua e ahau te nakahi i reira, a ka ngau ia i a ratou.

4 Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for disaster, and not for good.

Ahakoa haere ratou he parau i te aroaro o o ratou hoariri, ka whakahaua e ahau te hoari i reira hei tukituki i a ratou: a ka u atu oku kanohi ki a ratou mo te kino, kahore hoki mo te pai.

5 For the LORD of hosts is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt.

Ko te Ariki hoki, ko Ihowa o nga mano, ko ia te pa ana ki te whenua, rewa tonu iho, tangi ana nga tangata katoa o reira: a ka pari katoa ake ano ko te awa; ka hoki iho ano, ka pera me te awa o Ihipa.

6 It is he who builds his upper chamber in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth; the LORD is his name.

Ko ia te hanga nei i ana ruma ki runga ki te rangi, tu ana i a ia tana rua ki te whenua; ko ia te karanga nei ki nga wai o te moana, a ringihia ana e ia ki runga ki te mata o te whenua: ko Ihowa tona ingoa.

7 Are you not like the people of Ethiopia to me, children of Israel?" says the LORD. "Haven't I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans from Kir?

He teka ianei, ki taku, he rite koutou ki nga tama a nga Etiopiana, e nga tama a Iharaira? e ai ta Ihowa. He teka ianei naku a Iharaira i kawe mai i te whenua o Ihipa? nga Pirihitini i Kapatoro? me nga Hiriani i Kiri?

8 Look, the eyes of the LORD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob," says the LORD.

Nana, kei runga nga kanohi o te Ariki, o Ihowa, i te kingitanga hara, a ka poto atu i ahau i runga i te mata o te whenua; e kore ia e poto rawa i ahau te whare o Hakopa, e ai ta Ihowa.

9 "For, look, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, as one sifts with a sieve, but not even a pebble will fall to the ground.

No te mea, tenei ahau te whakahau nei, a ka tataria e ahau te whare o Iharaira ki roto ki nga iwi katoa, ka peratia me te witi e tataria ana ki te tatari, e kore ano tetahi pata ririki e taka ki te whenua.

10 All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, 'Evil won't overtake nor meet us.'

Ka mate i te hoari te hunga hara katoa o taku iwi, ena e ki na, E kore tatou e mau, e kore ano e haukotia e te kino.

11 On that day I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen, and repair its broken places, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it as in the days of old;

I taua ra ka ara i ahau te tapenakara o Rawiri kua hinga nei, ka tutakina ano e ahau ona wahi pakaru; ka ara ano i ahau ona wahi i whakahoroa, ki hanga ano e ahau kia rite ki nga ra o mua:

12 that the rest of humanity may seek after the LORD, and all the nations who are called by my name," says the LORD who does this.

Kia riro ai i a ratou te toenga o Eroma, o nga iwi katoa ano kua oti toku ingoa te whakahua mo ratou, e ai ta Ihowa, nana nei tenei mahi.

13 "Look, the days come," says the LORD, "that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.

Nana, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e mau ai te kaikokoti i te kaiparau, e mau ai hoki te kaiwhakato purapura i te kaitakahi karepe; ka maturuturu ano te waina hou o nga maunga, a ka rewa nga pukepuke katoa.

14 I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

Ka whakahokia mai ano e ahau taku iwi, a Iharaira, i te whakarau, a ka hanga e ratou nga pa kua ururuatia, nohoia iho; ka whakato mara waina ano ratou, ka inu i te waina o aua mara: ka mahi kari ano ratou, a ka kai i nga hua o reira.

15 I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them," says the LORD your God.

Ka whakatokia ano ratou e ahau ki to ratou oneone; e kore ano ratou e unuhia atu i muri ake nei, i to ratou oneone i hoatu e ahau ki a ratou, e ai ta Ihowa, ta tou Atua.
