Amos 3

1 Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying,

Whakarongo ki tenei kupu i korerotia e Ihowa mo koutou, e nga tama a Iharaira, mo te kapu katoa i kawea mai e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa, i mea ahau,

2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.

Ko koutou anake taku i mohio ai o nga hapu katoa o te ao: mo reira ka whiua koutou e ahau mo o koutou he katoa.

3 Shall two walk together, except they have agreed?

E haere tahi ano ranei te tokorua, ki te kore e whakaae ki a raua?

4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?

E hamama ranei te raiona i te ngahere i te mea kahore ana tupapaku? e tangi ranei te reo o te kuao raiona i tona kuhunga, ki te kore tetahi mea e mau i a ia?

5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is [set] for him? shall a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all?

E taka ranei te manu ki roto ki te mahanga i runga i te whenua i te mea kahore he ahere mona? e mokowhiti ake ranei te mahanga i te oneone, a hore rawa he mea e mau?

6 Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? shalt evil befall a city, and the LORD hath not done it?

E tangi ranei te tetere i roto i tetahi pa, a kahore te iwi e wehi? e puta ranei he kino ki te pa, a ehara i a Ihowa nana i mahi?

7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

He pono e kore te Ariki, a Ihowa, e mahi i tetahi mea, engari ka whakakitea e ia tona whakaaro huna ki ana pononga, ki nga poropiti.

8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

Kua hamama te raiona, ko wai e kore e wehi? kua korero a Ihowa, te Ariki, ko wai e kore e poropiti?

9 Publish ye in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold what great tumults are therein, and what oppressions in the midst thereof.

Panuitia atu i roto i nga whare kingi i Aharoro, i nga whare kingi hoki i te whenua o Ihipa, mea atu, Whakamine i a koutou ki runga ki nga maunga o Hamaria, ka matakitaki ki nga ngangau nui i waenga o reira, ki nga tukinotanga hoki i waenga o rei ra.

10 For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.

Kahore hoki ratou e mohio ki te mahi i te tika, e ai ta Ihowa, e rongoa nei ratou i te mahi tutu me te pahua i roto i o ratou whare kingi.

11 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: An adversary [there shall be], even round about the land: and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.

Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: He hoariri tera, ka karapotia e ia te whenua: a ka riro iho i a ia tou kaha, ka pahuatia hoki ou whare kingi.

12 Thus saith the LORD: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be rescued that sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka rite ki te hepara e tango mai nei i nga waewae e rua i te mangai o te raiona, i tetahi wahi ranei o te taringa; ka pena ano te tangohanga mai o nga tama a Iharaira e noho ra i Hamaria i te pito o te moenga, i runga h oki i nga urunga o tetahi moenga.

13 Hear ye, and testify against the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts.

Whakarongo koutou, whakaaturia hoki he he mo te whare o Hakopa, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, ta te Atua o nga mano.

14 For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit the altars of Beth-el, and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.

No te mea hei te ra e pa ai taku ki a Iharaira mo ona poka ke, ka pa ano hoki taku ki nga aata o Peteere, a ka poutoa nga haona o te aata, ka taka ki te whenua.

15 And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.

Ka patua ano e ahau te whare hotoke me te whare raumati; a ka moti nga whare rei, ka kore nga whare nunui, e ai ta Ihowa.
