Amos 8
1 Yahweh showed me [in a vision] a basket full of ripe fruit.
PENEIA i hoike mai ai o Iehova ka Haku ia'u: aia hoi, he hinai hua oo.
2 He asked me, “Amos, what do you see?” I replied, “A basket of [very] ripe fruit.” He said, “That indicates that it almost the end for my Israeli people. I will not change my mind again about punishing them.
A i mai la ia, Heaha kau e ike nei, e Amosa? I aku la au, He hinai hua oo. Alaila, i mai la o Iehova ia'u, Ua hiki mai ka hope maluna o kuu poe kanaka o ka Iseraela; Aole au e hele hou ae mai o lakou aku.
3 [Soon, ] instead of singing in the temple, they will be wailing. There will be corpses everywhere [HYP]. So, remain silent (OR, Everyone will be silent). [These things will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it!”
A e lilo na mele o ka halealii i auwe ana ia la, wahi a Iehova ka Haku: A he nui auanei na kupapau ma na wahi a pau: a e hoolei malu aku ia lakou.
4 [It is as though] you people trample on needy people, and you destroy the poor people.
E hoolohe i keia, e oukou ka mea e moni i ka poe ilihune, a hoopau i ka poe nele o ka aina,
5 You habitually say, “We wish that [RHQ] the new moon [festival] would end soon, in order that [restrictions on doing business during the festival will be ended] and we can sell grain. We wish that the Sabbath would end soon, in order that we will again be permitted to sell our wheat”— and [when you sell it], you charge a big price for it, and you cheat people by using scales that do not weigh correctly.
I ka i ana ae, Ahea la e pau ai ka mahina hou, i kuai aku ai kakou i ka ai? A me ka Sabati, i wehe ae ai kakou i ka hua ai, e houuku ana i ka epa, A e hoomahuahua ana i ke sekela, a e hoololi ana i na mea kaupaona hoopunipuni?
6 You sell wheat that you have swept up from the floor, and as a result it is mixed with dirt. Those who are needy and poor [DOU] and who do not have money [to buy things], you cause them to become your slaves by buying them with the [small amount of] silver [with which you could buy] a pair of sandals!
I kuai aku ai kakou i ka poe ilihune no ke kala, A i ka poe nele no ka paa kamaa; a i kuai aku ai i ka hua palaoa ino?
7 Yahweh has declared, “Although you are very proud of [being descendants] [MTY] of Jacob, I solemnly declare that I will not forget the [evil things] that you have done.
Ua hoohiki o Iehova ma ka nani o Iakoba, Aole loa au e hoopoina i ka lakou mau hana a pau.
8 [Because of those evil things], your country will certainly [RHQ] soon be shaken, and all of you will mourn. [It will be as though] it will repeatedly rise and fall like [SIM] the Nile [River] that gets full of water [and overflows it banks] and then settles back into its riverbed.
Aole anei e haalulu ka aina no keia mea, a e auwe na mea a pau e noho ana iloko ona? A e pii ae ia me he muliwai la a puni ona; A e laweia'ku ia, a e halana ae ia e like me ka muliwai o Aigupita.
9 On the day [when I punish my people], I will cause the sun to set at noontime, and the [entire] earth will be dark in the daytime.
A i kela la, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, E hoonapoo iho au i ka la i ke awakea, a e hoopouli iho au i ka aina i ka la laelae.
10 I will cause your [religious] celebrations to become times when you mourn; instead of singing, everyone will be weeping. Because of what I [will do], all of you will wear rough sackcloth and shave your heads [to show that you are sorrowing]. I will cause that time to be like when people mourn after an only son [has died]. All of you will be extremely sad all of that day.”
A e hoolilo au i ka oukou mau ahaaina i auwe ana, A i ko oukou mau mele i kanikau ana; A e lawe mai au i ke kapa ino maluna o na puhaka a pau, A me ka ohule maluna o na poo a pau; A e hoohalike au ia mea me ka auwe ana no ke keiki kamakahi, A i ka hope o ia mea e like me ka la awaawa.
11 And Yahweh our God says this: “It will [soon] be the time when I will cause something to be very scarce [MET] throughout the country. But it will not be a time when there is no food or water; it will instead be a time when there will be no messages from me for anyone to hear.
Aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, E lawe mai ai au i ka wi maluna o ka aina, aole o ka wi i ka ai, aole o ka make inu i ka wai, Aka, o ka lohe i ka olelo a Iehova.
12 People will stagger from the [Dead] Sea to the [Mediterranean] Sea, and wander from the north to the east, searching for a message from me, but there will not be any.
A e auwana lakou mai ke kai a hiki i ke kai, a mai ke kukulu akau, a ka hikina, E holo lakou ma o a ma o, e imi ana i ka olelo a Iehova, aole e loaa.
13 At that time, even beautiful young women and strong young men will faint because of being very thirsty.
I kela la. e maule na wahine puupaa maikai, a me na kanaka opio no ka makewai.
14 Those who (make oaths/solemnly promise to do something) using the names of their shameful gods of Samaria, and those who solemnly promise to do something [using the name of] the god of Dan, and those who solemnly promise to do something [using the name of] the god of Beersheba, will all die; and they will never live again.”
O ka poe e hoohiki ma ka hewa o Samaria, a i iho, E ola ana kou Akua, e Dana; a e ola ana ka aoao o Beereseba; E haule no hoi lakou, aole loa e ala hou ae.
