Amos 1
1 This is the message that [Yahweh] gave to [me], Amos. I am a (shepherd/man who takes care of sheep). I am from [near] Tekoa [town south of Jerusalem]. I received this message about Israel in a vision two years before the [big] earthquake. It was when Uzziah was the king of Judah, and Jeroboam, the son of [King] Jehoash, was the king of Israel.
O NA olelo a Amosa, ka mea iwaena o na kahu bipi o Tekoa, na mea ana i ike ai no ka Iseraela, i na la o Uzia, ke alii o ka Iuda, a i na la o Ieroboama, ke keiki a Ioasa, ke alii o ka Iseraela, elua makahiki mamua o ke olai.
2 This is what Yahweh said: “I will roar [like a lion] [MET]; when I speak from Zion [Hill in] Jerusalem [DOU], my voice will [resemble the sound of] thunder. [When that happens], the pastures where you shepherds [take care of] your sheep will dry up, and [the grass] on top of Carmel [Mountain] will (wither/become brown) [because I will cause that no rain will fall].”
A i aku la ia, E uwo mai o Iehova mai Ziona mai, A e hoopuka mai i kona leo mai Ierusalema mai; E uwe no na wahi noho o na kahuhipa, A e maloo ka piko o Karemela.
3 This is [also] what Yahweh said [to me]: “[I will punish the people of] Damascus, [the capital of Syria, ] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not [change my mind about punishing them] [MTY], because [the cruel things that they did to the people of the] Gilead [region] [were like] [MET] people threshing grain using sledges [that have (iron teeth/sharp iron nails) in them].
Penei ka Iehova i olelo ai; No na hala ekolu o Damaseko, a me ka ha, aole au e hoololi ae i kona hoopaiia, No ka mea, ua hehi lakou i ko Gileada me ka mea hao e hehi palaoa ai:
4 I will cause a fire to burn the palace [that King] Hazael [built and lived in], the fortress where [his son King] Ben-Hadad [also] lived.
A e hoouna'ku ai i ke ahi iloko o ka hale o Hazaela, Ka mea e hoopau ai i na hale alii o Benehadada.
5 I will cause the gates of Damascus to be broken [down]; I will get rid of the king who rules in Aven Valley and the one who rules in Beth Eden. And the people of Syria will be captured and taken to the Kir [region where they originally lived].”
A e haki no ia'u ke kaola o Damaseko, A e hooki aku au i na kanaka mai ke awawa o Avena aku, A me ka mea e hoopaa ana i ke kookoo alii, mai ka hale o Edena aku: A e hele pio aku la na kanaka o Suria i Kira, wahi a Iehova.
6 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “[I will punish the people of the cities in Philistia]: [I will punish the people of] Gaza [city] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they captured large groups of people and took them to Edom and sold them to become the slaves of [the people of] Edom.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, penei; No na hala ekolu o Gaza, a me ka ha, aole au e hoololi ae i kona hoopaiia; No ko lakou lawe pio ana i ka poe pio a pau, A haawi aku ia lakou i ka Edoma;
7 I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Gaza and [also] destroy its fortresses.
Aka, e hoolei aku au i ke ahi maloko o ka papohaku o Gaza, A e hoopau aku ia i kona mau halealii;
8 I will get rid of the king of Ashdod [city] and the king who rules [MTY] in Ashkelon [city]. I will [also] strike/punish [the people of] Ekron [city], and [all] the people of Philistia who are still alive will be killed.”
A e hooki aku au i kanaka mai Asedoda aku, A me ka mea e hoopaa ana i ka hoailona moi mai Asekelona aku; A e hooku e aku au i kuu lima i Ekerona; A e make ke koena o ko Pilisetia, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
9 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “[I will punish the people of] Tyre [city] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they [also] captured large groups of our people and took them to Edom, disregarding the treaty of friendship that they had made [with your rulers].
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, peneia; No na hala ekolu, o Turo, a me ka ha, aole au e hoololi ae i kona hoopaiia: No ka mea, ua hoolilo lakou i ka poe pio a pau i ko Edoma, Aole hoi i hoomanao i ka berita o na hoahanau:
10 So I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Tyre and [also] destroy its fortresses.”
Aka, e hoolei aku au i ke ahi iloko o ka papohaku o Turo, Ka mea e hoopau ai i kona mau halealii.
11 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “I will punish [the people of] Edom because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they pursued the people [of Israel], who descended from Esau’s [brother Jacob, and killed them] with swords; they did not act mercifully toward them at all. They were extremely angry [with the people of Israel], and they continued to be angry [with them].
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, penei; No na hala ekolu o ka Edoma, a me ka ha, aole au e hoololi ae i kona hoopaiia: No ka mea, ua hahai aku ia i kona hoahanau me ka pahikaua, A ua haalele aku i kona aloha, A ua haehae mau loa kona inaina, A ua hoomau loa ia i kona huhu.
12 I will cause a fire to burn Teman [district in Edom] and completely burn the fortresses of Bozrah, [the biggest city in Edom].”
A e hoolei aku au i ke ahi iloko o Temana, A e hoopau aku ia i na halealii o Bozera.
13 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “I will punish [the people of] Ammon because of the many sins that [they] have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because [their soldiers even] ripped open [the bellies of] pregnant women [when their army attacked] the Gilead [region] to gain more territory.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, penei; No na hala ekolu o na mamo a Amona, a me ka ha, aole au e hoololi ae i kona hoopaiia; No ka mea, ua kaha aku lakou i na wahine hapai o Gileada, I hoopalahalaha aku ai lakou i ko lakou palena:
14 I will cause a fire to [completely] burn the walls around Rabbah [city] and completely burn its fortresses. During that battle, [their enemies] will shout loudly and the fighting will be [like] [MET] a fierce/raging wind/storm.
Aka, e hoa aku au i ke ahi iloko o ka papohaku o Raba, A e hoopau aku ia i na halealii ona, Me ka hooho i ka la o ke kaua, Me ka ino i ka la o ka puahiohio:
15 [After the battle], the king [of Ammon] and his officials will be (exiled/forced to go to another country).”
A e hele aku no ko lakou alii iloko o ke pio, Oia a me kana mau kaukaualii kekahi, wahi a Iehova.
