Amos 9
1 Yahweh [showed me another vision. In the vision, ] I saw him standing next to the altar. He said, “Shake the tops of the pillars [of the temple], until they become loose and fall down, so that even the foundation will shake. Then cause the [pieces of the temple] to fall down on the people [who are inside]. I will kill with a sword anyone who [tries to] flee; no one will escape.
I KE aku la au ia Iehova e ku ana maluna o ke kuahu: a i mai la ia, E hahau i ke poo o ke kia, i haalulu ai na kumu kia; A e oki ia lakou ma ke poo, ia lakou a pau; A e pepehi aku au i ke koena o lakou me ka pahikaua: O ka mea o lakou e holo ana, aole ia e malu; A o ka mea e pakele ana, aole e pakele io.
2 If they dig deep pits in the ground, or if they try to climb up to the sky [in order to escape], I will reach out and grab them. (Sheol h7585)
Ina e eli iho lakou i ka po, e lawe ko'u lima ia lakou mailaila mai; Ina e pii lakou i ka lani, e lawe au ia lakou mailaila mai; (Sheol h7585)
3 If they go to the top of Carmel [Mountain] to escape, I will search for them and seize them. If they [try to] hide from me at the bottom of the sea, I will command the [huge] sea monster to bite them.
A ina e pee lakou maluna o ka piko o Karemela, e imi aku au, a e lawe ia lakou mailaila mai; A ina e pee lakou mai kuu maka aku ma ka mole o ke kai, Malaila e kena aku au i ka nahesa, a e nahu aku ia ia lakou.
4 If their enemies [capture them and] force them to go to other countries, I will command that they be killed there with swords. I am determined [IDM] to get rid of them, not to help them.”
A ina e hele pio aku lakou imua o ko lakou poe enemi, Malaila e kena aku au i ka pahikaua, a e luku aku ia ia lakou; A e kau aku kuu mau maka maluna o lakou no ka ino, aole no ka maikai.
5 When the Commander of the armies of angels touches the earth, it melts, and all over the earth [many people die, and the others] mourn for them. [It is as though] Yahweh causes the earth repeatedly to rise and fall like [SIM] the Nile [River] rises and falls.
A o Iehova, ka Haku o na kaua, oia ka mea e hoopa i ka aina, a e hehee iho no ia; A e auwe iho ka poe a pau e noho ana iloko ona: A e ea ae ia me he muliwai la a puni ona; A e halana ae e like me ka muliwai o Aigupita.
6 He builds his [beautiful] palace in heaven, and sets/causes the sky to be like a dome over the earth. He scoops up the water from the ocean and [puts it into clouds], and then empties [the clouds] onto the earth. His name is Yahweh.
Oia ka i hana i na papaluna iloko o ka lani, a i hookumu i kona poai maluna o ka honua; O ka mea i hoopii ae i na wai o ka moana, a ninini iho ia lakou maluna o ka ili o ka aina; O Iehova kona inoa:
7 And Yahweh says, “You people of Israel, you are certainly [RHQ] [now no more important to me] than the people of Ethiopia. I brought your [ancestors] here from Egypt, but I also brought the people of Philistia from Crete [Island], and I brought the people of Syria from the Kir [region].
E na mamo a Iseraela, aole anei oukou i like ia'u me na mamo a Kusa? wahi a Iehova. Aole anei au i lawe mai i ka Iseraela mai ka aina o Aigupita mai? A i ko Pilisetia mai Kapetora mai, a me ko Suria mai Kira mai?
8 I [SYN], Yahweh the Lord, have seen that you people in the kingdom [of Israel] are very sinful, so I will (destroy you/wipe you off the earth). But I will not get rid of all you descendants [MTY] of Jacob. [That is what will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
Aia hoi, o na maka o Iehova ka Haku maluna o ke aupuni hewa; A e hokai aku au ia mai ka honua aku; Aka hoi, aole au e luku loa aku i ko ka hale o Iakoba, wahi a Iehova.
9 When I command it, [it will be as though] I will shake you Israeli people [who are living] in various nations, like [MET] [a farmer] shakes a sieve [to separate] the stone pebbles [from the grain], in order that they do not fall on the ground [with the grain].
No ka mea, aia hoi, e kauoha aku au, a e kanana iho ai i ko ka hale o Iseraela iwaena o na lahuikanaka a pau; E like me ka hua palaoa i kananaia iloko o ke kanana, Aole e haule kekahi hua ma ka honaa.
10 From among my people, all you sinful people who say, ‘We will not experience disasters; nothing evil will happen to us,’ will be killed by [your enemies’] swords.”
E make ka poe hewa a pau o kuu poe kanaka i ka pahikaua, Ka poe e olelo ana, Aole e hiki mai ka hewa mahope, aole hoi mamua o kakou.
11 “The kingdom [over which King] David [ruled has been destroyed, like] [MET] a house that collapsed and then became ruins. But some day I will cause it to be a kingdom again. I will cause it to prosper again just like it did previously.
I kela la e kukulu au i ka halelewa o Davida i wawahiia, A e hoopaa i kona wahi hiolo; A e hooku hou au i kona mau mea i heleleiia, A hana aku ia e like me na la mamua;
12 When that happens, your [armies] will seize/capture the remaining part of Edom [region] again, and they will also seize the land in other nations that previously belonged to me [MTY]. I, Yahweh, have said [that I will do these things], and I will certainly cause them to happen.
I lilo no lakou ke koena o ka Edoma, a me na lahuikanaka a pau, Ka poe i kaheaia ka inoa o Iehova maluna o lakou, wahi a Iehova, nana keia i hana.
13 There will be a time [when your crops will grow very well]. Very soon after the crops are harvested, farmers will plow the ground [to plant more crops in it again], and soon after the vineyards are planted, [farmers will harvest] grapes and tread on them [to make wine]. [And because there will be a lot of] wine, [it will seem as though] wine is flowing down from the hills [DOU].
Aia hoi, e hiki mai na la, wahi a Iehova, E halawai ai ka mea e mahiai ana, me ka mea e oki ana, A o ka mea e hehi i na huawaina, me ka mea e lulu i ka hua; A e hookulukulu iho na mauna i ka waina hou, A e hehee iho na puu a pau.
14 I will cause you, my Israeli people, to prosper again. You will rebuild your towns and live in them. You will plant vineyards and then drink the wine [made from the grapes that grows in them].
A e hoihoi mai au i ka poe pio o kuu poe kanaka o ka Iseraela, A e kukulu lakou i na kulanakauhale neoneo, a noho lakou iloko; A e kanu lakou i na pawaina, a e inu lakou i ko lakou waina; A e hana lakou i na kihapai, a e ai hoi i ko lakou hua.
15 I will enable you to live [MET] in your land again, the land that I gave to [your ancestors], and never again will you be forced to leave it. [That is what will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
A e kanu iho au ia lakou ma ko lakou aina iho, Aole e uhuki hou ia ae lakou mai ko lakou aina ae, Ka mea a'u i haawi aku ai ia lakou, wahi a Iehova kou Akua.
