Amos 9
1 I saw My Lord stationed by the altar, and he said—Smite the capital—that the sills, may tremble, Yea break them off on the head of them all, and, the last of them, with the sword, will I slay, —He that fleeth of them, shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them, shall not make good his 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 break through into hades, from thence, shall my hand fetch them, —and, though they ascend the heavens, from thence, will I 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 And, though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, from thence, will I search for them and take them, —and, though they conceal themselves from before mine eyes at the bottom of the sea, from thence, will I command the serpent and he shall 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 And, though they go into captivity before their enemies, from thence, will I command the sword, and it shall slay them, —So will I set mine eyes upon them for calamity, and not for blessing.
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 Now, My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, is he—who toucheth the earth, and it melteth, and all that dwell therein, mourn; and it cometh up like the Nile, all of it, and subsideth 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 Who buildeth, in the heavens, his upper rooms, and, as for his vault, upon the earth, hath he founded it, —who calleth to the waters of the sea, and poureth them out over the face of the land, Yahweh, 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 Like the sons of the Ethiopians, are not ye, unto me, O sons of Israel? Demandeth Yahweh: Was it not, Israel, I brought up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines out of Caphtor, and the Syrians out of 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 Lo! the eyes of My Lord, Yahweh, are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the ground, —save only that I will not, utterly destroy, the house of Jacob, Declareth Yahweh.
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 lo! I am giving command, and will sift, throughout all the nations, the house of Israel, —as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet shall there not fall a kernel, to the earth.
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 By the sword, shall die all the sinners of my people, —who say, The calamity, shall not overtake and close in before 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 In that day, will I raise up the pavilion of David, that is lying prostrate, —and wall up the breaches of them, and, his ruins, will I raise up, and will build it, as in the days of age-past times:
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 they on whom my name hath been called, may take possession, of the residue of Edom and of all the nations, Declareth Yahweh, who executeth 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 Lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, that, the plowman, shall overtake, the reaper, and, he that treadeth out the grapes, him that traileth the seed, —so shall, the mountains, drip sweet wine, and, all the hills, shall melt;
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 And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build waste cities, and inhabit [them], and plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof, and lay out gardens, and eat the fruit thereof:
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 So will I plant them upon their own soil, —and will not uproot them any more from off their own soil, which I have given to them, saith Yahweh thy 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.
