Amos 4
1 Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say unto their lords, Bring, and let us drink.
Whakarongo ki tenei kupu, e nga kau o Pahana, i te maunga o Hamaria, e whakatupu kino na i nga ware, e kuru na i nga rawakore, e mea na ki o ratou ariki, Kawea mai, kia inu tatou.
2 The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that they shall take you away with hooks, and your residue with fish hooks.
Kua oatitia tona tapu e te Atua, e Ihowa, nana, kei te haere mai nga ra ki a koutou e mauria ai koutou e ratou ki te matau, o koutou whakamutunga ki te matau ika.
3 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every one straight before her; and ye shall cast [yourselves] into Harmon, saith the LORD.
Ka haere atu ano koutou na nga pakaru, na nga wahi e hangai mai ana ki tenei, ki tenei; a ka akiri koutou i a koutou ki Haramona, e ai ta Ihowa.
4 Come to Beth-el, and transgress; to Gilgal, [and] multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, [and] your tithes every three days;
Haere mai ki Peteere, ki reira poka ke ai; ki Kirikara whakanui ai i te poka ke; kawea mai ano a koutou patunga tapu i tenei ata, i tenei ata, a koutou whakatekau, i te toru o nga ra.
5 and offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim freewill offerings and publish them: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
Tapaea ano he whakahere whakawhetai, he mea kinaki ki te rewena, kauwhautia hoki, karangarangatia nga whakahere noa ake: ko ta koutou hoki tenei i pai ai, e nga tama a Iharaira, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
6 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
I tukua ano e ahau he parakore mo nga niho ki a koutou i roto i o koutou pa katoa, he tarokore ki o koutou wahi katoa; heoi kihai koutou i tahuri ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
7 And I also have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.
I kaiponuhia ano e ahau te ua ki a koutou i te mea kia toru ake marama ko te kotinga witi: i meinga ano e ahau kia ua ki runga ki tetahi pa, a ki tetahi pa i mea ahau kia kaua e ua: ko tetahi wahi i uaina, a ko te wahi kihai i uaina, maroke noa i ho.
8 So two or three cities wandered unto one city to drink water, and were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
Na kopiko atu ana etahi pa e rua, e toru, ki te pa kotahi ki te inu wai, a kore ake i makona; otiia kihai koutou i hoki mai ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: the multitude of your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees hath the palmerworm devoured: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
Kua patua koutou e ahau ki te ngingio, ki te koriri: nui noa a koutou kari, a koutou mara waina, a koutou piki, a koutou oriwa, pau ake i te whangawhanga: heoi kihai koutou i hoki mai ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
10 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have carried away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camp to come up even into your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
I tukua e ahau te mate uruta ki a koutou, he pera tonu me to Ihipa: ko a koutou taitama he mea patu naku ki te hoari, ko a koutou hoiho riro ana i ahau, a meinga ana e ahau te piro o to koutou puni kia kake ake ki o koutou ihu rawa; heoi kihai k outou i hoki mai ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
11 I have overthrown [some] among you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a brand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
I hurihia etahi o koutou e ahau ki raro, i peratia me ta te Atua hurihanga i Horoma, i Komora, a rite tonu koutou ki te mounga i kapohia mai i roto i te weranga: heoi kihai koutou i hoki mai ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: [and] because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
Mo reira ka meatia tenei e ahau ki a koe, e Iharaira, Ka meinga nei tenei e ahau ki a koe, na kia rite ou mea mo tou tutaki ki tou Atua, e Iharaira.
13 For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth; the LORD, the God of hosts, is his name.
No te mea, na, ko te kaiwhakaahua o nga maunga, e hanga nei i te hau, e whakaatu nei ki te tangata i tana i whakaaro ai, e mea nei i te ata kia pouri, a e haere ana i runga i nga wahi tiketike o te whenua; ko Ihowa, ko te Atua o nga mano tona in goa.
