Amos 3
1 Hear ye this word, which Yahweh hath spoken, concerning you, ye sons of Israel, —concerning 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 Only you, have I acknowledged, of all the families of the ground, For this cause, will I 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 Can two walk together, —except they meet?
E haere tahi ano ranei te tokorua, ki te kore e whakaae ki a raua?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when, prey, he hath none? Will a young lion utter his voice out of his den, when he hath made no capture?
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 Will a bird fall upon a net to the earth, when there is no, snare, for it? Will a net rise from the ground, when it hath, captured nothing?
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 Or a horn be blown in a city, and, a people, not tremble? Or calamity happen in a city, and, Yahweh, not have wrought with effect?
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 My Lord Yahweh, will do, nothing, —except he have disclosed 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 A lion, hath roared, Who will not fear? My Lord Yahweh, hath spoken, Who can forbear to prophesy?
Kua hamama te raiona, ko wai e kore e wehi? kua korero a Ihowa, te Ariki, ko wai e kore e poropiti?
9 Announce it over the palaces in Ashdod, and over the palaces in the land of Egypt, —and say ye—Gather yourselves together upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold ye—the great disorders in the midst thereof, and the oppressed within her.
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 Therefore do they not know how to do right, Declareth Yahweh, who are treasuring up violence and spoil 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 My Lord, Yahweh, An adversary! Yea round about the land, —and he who shall bring down, from thee, thy strength, And spoiled shall be thy palaces.
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 Yahweh, Just as a shepherd rescueth, out of the mouth of the lion, a couple of shankbones, or the tip of an ear, so, shall be rescued the sons of Israel, who are tarrying in Samaria, in the corner of the divan, and on the damask of the luxurious couch.
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 bear witness, throughout the house of Jacob, —Commandeth My Lord, Yahweh, 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 That, in the day I visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, then will I punish, concerning the altars of Bethel, So shall the horns of the altar, be broken off, and they shall 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 along with the summer house, —and the houses of ivory, shall be destroyed! and the great houses, shall disappear, Declareth Yahweh.
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.
