Amos 7
1 This is what the Lord Yahweh showed me. Look, he formed a locust swarm when the spring crop began to come up, and, look, it was the late crop after the king's harvest.
Ko ta te Ariki, ko ta Ihowa tenei i whakaatu ai ki ahau; nana, i hanga e ia he mawhitiwhiti i te timatanga o te pihinga ake o to muri tupu; nana, ko to muri tupu ia i muri iho i a te kingi tapahanga.
2 When they finished eating the vegetation of the land, then I said, “Lord Yahweh, please forgive; how will Jacob survive? For he is so small.”
Na ka poto te tarutaru o te whenua te kai, ka mea ahau, E te Ariki, e Ihowa, tena ra, murua te he: ma te aha oti a Hakopa ka ara ai? he iti nei hoki ia.
3 Yahweh relented concerning this. “It will not happen,” he said.
I puta ke to Ihowa whakaaro mo tenei; E kore e meatia, e ai ta Ihowa.
4 This is what the Lord Yahweh showed me: Look, the Lord Yahweh called on fire to judge. It dried the vast, deep water under the earth and would have devoured the land, also.
Ko ta te Ariki, ko ta Ihowa tenei i whakakite ai ki ahau: na kua karangatia e te Ariki, e Ihowa, he whawhai, he mea ahi, a ka pau te rire nui, a ka mea kia kainga te whenua.
5 But I said, “Lord Yahweh, please stop; how will Jacob survive? For he is so small.”
Na ka mea ahau, Kati ra, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, ma te aha oti a Hakopa ka ara ai? he iti nei hoki ia.
6 Yahweh relented concerning this, “This also will not happen,” said the Lord Yahweh.
I puta ke to Ihowa whakaaro mo tenei, E kore ano tenei e meatia, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
7 This is what he showed me: Look, the Lord stood beside a wall, with a plumb line in his hand.
I whakakitea tenei e ia ki ahau: na, ko te Ariki e tu ana i runga i te taiepa, he mea paramu ki te aho, me te aho paramu i tona ringa.
8 Yahweh said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, “Look, I will put a plumb line among my people Israel. I will spare them no longer.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, Ko te aha e kitea ana e koe, e Amoho? Ano ra ko ahau, He aho paramu. Katahi te Ariki ka ki mai, Nana, ka iri i ahau he aho paramu i waenganui i taku iwi, i a Iharaira: e kore e whakarerea noatia iho ta ratou e ahau a mu ri ake nei.
9 The high places of Isaac will be destroyed, the sanctuaries of Israel will be ruined, and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
A ka ururuatia nga wahi tiketike o Ihaka, ka tuheatia nga wahi tapu o Iharaira; ka whakatika atu ano ahau, me te hoari ki te whare o Ieropoama.
10 Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent a message to Jeroboam, king of Israel: “Amos has conspired against you in the middle of the house of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words.
Na ka unga tangata a Amatia tohunga o Peteere ki a Ieropoama kingi o Iharaira hei ki atu, Kua whakatakotoria e Amoho he he mou i roto i te whare o Iharaira; kahore e taea e tenei whenua te waha ana kupu katoa.
11 For this is what Amos said, 'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will surely go into exile away from his land.'”
Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Amoho, Ka mate a Ieropoama i te hoari, a ka whakaraua rawatia atu a Iharaira i to ratou oneone.
12 Amaziah said to Amos, “Seer, go, run back to the land of Judah, and there eat bread and prophesy.
I mea ano a Amatia ki a Amoho, E te matakite, haere, e rere ki te whenua o Hura, ki reira kai ai i te taro mau, ki reira poropiti ai.
13 But do not prophesy anymore here at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary and a royal house.”
Engari kati tau poropiti ki Peteere: ko to te kingi wahi tapu hoki ia, he whare hoki no te kingitanga.
14 Then Amos said to Amaziah, “I am not a prophet nor a prophet's son. I am a herdsman, and I take care of sycamore fig trees.
Na ka whakahoki a Amoho, ka mea ki a Amatia, Ehara ahau i te poropiti, ehara ano i te tama na te poropiti; engari he kaitiaki kahui ahau, he kaikikini hikamora:
15 But Yahweh took me from tending the flock and said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'
I tikina ake hoki ahau e Ihowa i te mea e whai ana i nga hipi, i ki mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau, Haere, poropiti ki taku iwi, ki a Iharaira.
16 Now hear the word of Yahweh. You say, 'Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not speak against the house of Isaac.'
Na whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, E mea na koe, Kaua e poropiti ki a Iharaira, kei maturuturu iho ano tetahi kupu au hei whakahe mo te whare o Ihaka.
17 Therefore this is what Yahweh says, 'Your wife will be a prostitute in the city; your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword; your land will be measured and divided up; you will die in an unclean land, and Israel will surely go into exile from his land.'”
No reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tera tau wahine e kairau i roto i te pa, a ka hinga au tama me au tamahine i te hoari, ka wehewehea tou oneone, mea rawa ki te aho; ka mate koe i runga i te oneone poke, ka whakaraua rawatia atu hoki a Iharaira i tona oneone.
