Amos 4
1 Hear ye this word, ye heifers of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, —who say to their lords, Bring in, and let us drink!
E HOOLOHE oukou i keia olelo, e na bipi wahine o Basana, Na mea ma na mauna o Samaria, Na mea e hookaumaha ana i ka poe ilihune, Na mea e hooluhi ana i ka poe nele, Na mea e olelo ana i ko lakou mau haku, E lawe mai, a e inu kakou.
2 Sworn hath My Lord, Yahweh, by his own holiness, That lo! days, are coming upon you, —when he will take you away with hooks, and your followers with fishhooks;
Ua hoohiki o Iehova ka Haku, ma kona hemolele, Aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la maluna o oukou, E lawe aku ai oia ia oukou me na kilou, A i ka poe mahope o oukou i na makau lawaia.
3 And, through fissures, shall ye go out, every woman, straight before her, —and ye shall be thrust forth towards the castle, Declareth Yahweh.
A e puka aku oukou, ma ua wahi hiolo, o kela mea keia mea ma kona alo, A e hooleiia'ku iwaho o ka pakaua, wahi a Iehova.
4 Enter ye Bethel, and transgress, At Gilgal, cause transgression, to abound, —Yea, carry in, every morning, your sacrifices, every three days, your tithes;
E hele mai oukou i Betela, a e hana hewa; E hoonui i ka hana hewa ma Gilegala; A lawe mai oukou i ka oukou mau mohai no ke kakahiaka, A i na hapaumi o oukou no ke kolu o na makahiki:
5 Yea, burn thou incense, of that which is leavened, as a thank-offering, and proclaim ye freewill-offerings, let them be known, —for, so, ye love [to have it], ye sons of Israel, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.
A e puhi i ka berena hu i mohai aloha, A e hoike aku i na mohai aloha i lohe: No ka mea, o ka oukou makemake no ia, e na mamo a Iseraela, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
6 Moreover also, I, have given you cleanness of teeth throughout all your cities, and want of bread throughout all your dwelling-places, —Yet have ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
A ua haawi aku hoi au ia oukou i ka maemae o na niho ma ko oukou mau kulanakauhale a pau, A i ka nele i ka berena ma ko oukou mau wahi a pau: Aka, aole oukou i hoi hou mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
7 Moreover also, I, have withholden from you the abundant rain, when yet there were only three mouths to the harvest, Or I might rain upon one city, and, on another city, might not rain, —One portion, would be rained upon, and, the portion whereupon it should not rain, would be dried up;
A paa ia'u ka ua, mai o oukou aku, i ka manawa ekolu malama i koe a hiki i ka ohi ana: A hooua iho au maluna o kekahi kulanakauhale, A hooua ole au maluna o kekahi kulanakauhale: Ua hoouaia kau wahi, A o kahi i hooua ole ia, ua maloo.
8 Then would two or three cities totter to one city to drink water, without being satisfied, —Yet have ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
A hele aku elua ekolu paha na kulanakauhale i kekahi kulanakauhale e inu i ka wai, aole nae i kena: Aka, aole oukou i hoi hou mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
9 I have smitten you with blight and with mildew, When your gardens and your vineyards and your fig-trees and your olive-trees have increased, the creeping locust would devour them, —Yet have ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
Ua hahau aku au ia oukou i ka hua ai maalili, a me ka punahelu: He nui ko oukou kihapai, ko oukou mau pawaina, a me ko oukou mau laau fiku, a me ko oukou mau laau oliva, ua aiia hoi e ka uhini opiopio hulu ole; Aka, aole oukou i hoi hou mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
10 I have sent among you pestilence, in the manner of Egypt, I have slain, with the sword, your young men, and therewith have been taken captive your horses, And I have caused to ascend—the stench of your camps, even into your own nostrils, Yet ye have not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
A ua hoouna aku au iwaena o oukou i ke ahulau, e like me ia ma Aigupita; Ua luku aku au i ko oukou poe kanaka opio i ka pahikaua, Me ko oukou poe lio i pioia; A ua hoopii ae au i ka pilau o ko oukou hoomoana ana, a hiki i ko oukou mau ihu; Aka, aole oukou i hoi hou mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
11 I have made an overthrew among you, like the divine overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye have become like a brand snatched out of the burning, —Yet hate ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
Ua luku aku au iwaena o oukou, E like me ka luku ana o ke Akua ia Sodoma a me Gomora; Ua like hoi oukou me ka momokuahi i kailiia mai loko mai o ke ahi: Aka, aole oukou i hoi hou mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
12 Therefore, thus, will I do unto thee, O Israel, —Because this thing I will do unto thee, Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
No ia mea, pela au e hana aku ai ia oe, e ka Iseraela: A no ka'u hana ana aku i keia ia oe, E hoomakaukau oe e halawai me kou Akua, e ka Iseraela.
13 For lo! He that fashioned the mountains, and created the wind, and who telleth the son of earth what is his thought, who turneth dawn into darkness, and marcheth upon the high places of the earth, Yahweh, God of hosts, is his name!
No ka mea, aia hoi, o ka mea nana i hana na mauna, A o ka mea i hana i ka makani, A hai aku i ke kanaka i kona manao, A o ka mea i hoolilo i ka wanaao i pouli, O ka mea e hehi ana maluna o na wahi kiekie o ka honua, O Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, kona inoa.
