Amos 4
1 Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, you who are in the mountain of Samaria, you who oppress the poor, you who crush the needy, you who say to your husbands, “Bring us drinks.”
Whakarongo ki tenei kupu, e nga kau o Pahana, i te maunga o Hamaria, e whakatupu kino na i nga ware, e kuru na i nga rawakore, e mea na ki o ratou ariki, Kawea mai, kia inu tatou.
2 The Lord Yahweh has sworn by his holiness, “Look, the days will come on you when they will take you away with hooks, the last of you with fishhooks.
Kua oatitia tona tapu e te Atua, e Ihowa, nana, kei te haere mai nga ra ki a koutou e mauria ai koutou e ratou ki te matau, o koutou whakamutunga ki te matau ika.
3 You will go out through the breaks in the city wall, each one of you going straight through it, and you will be thrown out toward Harmon —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
Ka haere atu ano koutou na nga pakaru, na nga wahi e hangai mai ana ki tenei, ki tenei; a ka akiri koutou i a koutou ki Haramona, e ai ta Ihowa.
4 “Go to Bethel and sin, to Gilgal and multiply sin, bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days.
Haere mai ki Peteere, ki reira poka ke ai; ki Kirikara whakanui ai i te poka ke; kawea mai ano a koutou patunga tapu i tenei ata, i tenei ata, a koutou whakatekau, i te toru o nga ra.
5 Offer a thanksgiving sacrifice with bread; proclaim freewill offerings; announce them, for this pleases you, you people of Israel —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.
Tapaea ano he whakahere whakawhetai, he mea kinaki ki te rewena, kauwhautia hoki, karangarangatia nga whakahere noa ake: ko ta koutou hoki tenei i pai ai, e nga tama a Iharaira, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
6 I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities and lack of bread in all your places. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
I tukua ano e ahau he parakore mo nga niho ki a koutou i roto i o koutou pa katoa, he tarokore ki o koutou wahi katoa; heoi kihai koutou i tahuri ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
7 I also withheld rain from you when there were still three months to the harvest. I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One piece of land was rained on, but the piece of land where it did not rain dried up.
I kaiponuhia ano e ahau te ua ki a koutou i te mea kia toru ake marama ko te kotinga witi: i meinga ano e ahau kia ua ki runga ki tetahi pa, a ki tetahi pa i mea ahau kia kaua e ua: ko tetahi wahi i uaina, a ko te wahi kihai i uaina, maroke noa i ho.
8 Two or three cities staggered to another city to drink water, but were not satisfied. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
Na kopiko atu ana etahi pa e rua, e toru, ki te pa kotahi ki te inu wai, a kore ake i makona; otiia kihai koutou i hoki mai ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
9 I afflicted you with blight and mildew. The multitude of your gardens, your vineyards, your fig trees, and your olive trees— the locusts devoured them all. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
Kua patua koutou e ahau ki te ngingio, ki te koriri: nui noa a koutou kari, a koutou mara waina, a koutou piki, a koutou oriwa, pau ake i te whangawhanga: heoi kihai koutou i hoki mai ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
10 I sent a plague on you as on Egypt. I killed your young men with the sword, carried away your horses, and made the stench of your camp come up to your nostrils. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
I tukua e ahau te mate uruta ki a koutou, he pera tonu me to Ihipa: ko a koutou taitama he mea patu naku ki te hoari, ko a koutou hoiho riro ana i ahau, a meinga ana e ahau te piro o to koutou puni kia kake ake ki o koutou ihu rawa; heoi kihai k outou i hoki mai ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
11 I overthrew cities among you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick snatched out of the fire. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
I hurihia etahi o koutou e ahau ki raro, i peratia me ta te Atua hurihanga i Horoma, i Komora, a rite tonu koutou ki te mounga i kapohia mai i roto i te weranga: heoi kihai koutou i hoki mai ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
12 Therefore I will do something terrible to you, Israel; and because I will do something terrible to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel!
Mo reira ka meatia tenei e ahau ki a koe, e Iharaira, Ka meinga nei tenei e ahau ki a koe, na kia rite ou mea mo tou tutaki ki tou Atua, e Iharaira.
13 For, look, he who forms the mountains also creates the wind, reveals his thoughts to mankind, makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth. Yahweh, God of hosts, is his name.”
No te mea, na, ko te kaiwhakaahua o nga maunga, e hanga nei i te hau, e whakaatu nei ki te tangata i tana i whakaaro ai, e mea nei i te ata kia pouri, a e haere ana i runga i nga wahi tiketike o te whenua; ko Ihowa, ko te Atua o nga mano tona in goa.
