Amos 9
1 I have seen the Lord standing by the altar, and He saith: 'Smite the knob, and the thresholds shake, And cut them off by the head — all of them, And their posterity with a sword I do slay, Not flee to them doth the fleer, Nor escape to them doth a fugitive.
Naʻa ku mamata kia Sihova naʻe ʻafio mei he feilaulauʻanga: pea naʻa ne pehē, “Taaʻi ʻae ʻakau fakalava ʻoe matapā, kae lulululu hono pou; pea taaʻi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi honau ʻulu; pea te u tāmateʻi ʻae tomui ʻokinautolu ʻaki ʻae heletā: ko ia ʻoku hola ʻe ʻikai te ne hao, pea ko ia ʻoku hao ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui ia.
2 If they dig through into sheol, From thence doth My hand take them, And if they go up the heavens, From thence I cause them to come down. (Sheol h7585)
Neongo ʻoku nau keli hifo ki heli, ʻe maʻu ʻakinautolu mei ai ʻe hoku nima; neongo ʻoku nau kaka hake ki he langi, te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki lalo: (Sheol h7585)
3 And if they be hid in the top of Carmel, From thence I search out, and have taken them, And if they be hid from Mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, From thence I command the serpent, And it hath bitten them.
Neongo ʻoku nau fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he funga ʻo Kameli, te u kumi pea ʻave ʻakinautolu mei ai; pea neongo ʻoku nau fufū mei hoku ʻao ʻi he kilisi tahi, te u fekau mei ai ʻae ngata, pea te ne ʻuusi ʻakinautolu:
4 And if they go into captivity before their enemies, From thence I command the sword, And it hath slain them, And I have set Mine eye on them for evil, And not for good.
Pea neongo ʻoku nau ʻalu pōpula ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili, te u fekau mei ai ʻae heletā, pea te ne tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu: pea te u hanga hoku fofonga kiate kinautolu ke kovi, pea ʻikai ke lelei.”
5 And [it is] the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Who is striking against the land, and it melteth, And mourned have all the inhabitants in it, And come up as a flood hath all of it, And it hath sunk — like the flood of Egypt.
Pea ko e ʻEiki, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko ia ia ʻoku ala ki he fonua, pea ʻe vai ia, pea ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ai te nau tangi; pea ʻe tupu ia hangē ha lōmaki: pea ʻe melemo hifo, hangē ko e malofa ʻi ʻIsipite.
6 Who is building in the heavens His upper chambers; As to His troop, Upon earth He hath founded it, Who is calling for the waters of the sea, And poureth them out on the face of the land, Jehovah [is] His name.
Ko ia ia ʻoku langa hono ngaahi fale fata ʻi he langi, pea kuo tānaki ʻene kautau ʻi māmani; ʻaia ʻoku ne ui ʻae ngaahi vai ʻoe tahi, pea ne huaʻi ia ʻi he funga ʻoe fonua: ko Sihova hono huafa.
7 As sons of Cushim are ye not to Me? O sons of Israel — an affirmation of Jehovah. Israel did I not bring up out of the land of Egypt? And the Philistines from Caphtor, and Aram from Kir?
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻIkai ʻoku mou hangē ko e fānau ʻae kakai ʻItiopea kiate au, ʻE fānau ʻa ʻIsileli? ʻIkai naʻaku ʻomi ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite? Pea mo e Filisitia mei Kafitoli, pea mo e kau Silia mei Kili?
8 Lo, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah [are] on the sinful kingdom, And I have destroyed it from off the face of the ground, Only, I destroy not utterly the house of Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Vakai, ko e fofonga ʻoe ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻi he puleʻanga angahala, pea te u fakaʻauha ia mei he funga fonua; ka ʻe ʻikai ʻauha ʻaupito ʻae fale ʻo Sēkope, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
9 For lo, I am commanding, And I have shaken among all the nations the house of Israel, As [one] doth shake with a sieve, And there falleth not a grain [to] the earth.
Koeʻuhi, vakai, te u fakatanga ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, hangē ʻoku fakatanga ʻae koane ʻi he meʻa fakatanga, ka ʻe ʻikai tō ha foʻi tenga ki he kelekele.
10 By sword die do all sinners of My people, Who are saying, 'Not overtake, or go before, For our sakes, doth evil.'
ʻE mate ʻi he heletā ʻae kau angahala kotoa pē ʻa hoku kakai, ʻoku lea pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai moʻua pe taʻofi ʻakitautolu ʻe he kovi.’
11 In that day I raise the tabernacle of David, that is fallen, And I have repaired their breaches, And its ruins I do raise up, And I have built it up as in days of old.
ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te u toe langa ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻo Tevita ʻaia kuo hinga, pea tāpuni ʻae ngaahi ava ʻo ia; pea te u toe fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo holoki, pea te u langaʻi ia ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa:
12 So that they possess the remnant of Edom, And all the nations on whom My name is called, An affirmation of Jehovah — doer of this.
Koeʻuhi ke nau maʻu ʻae toenga ʻo ʻItomi, pea mo e hiteni kotoa pē, ʻoku ui ʻaki hoku huafa:” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku fai eni:
13 Lo, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah, And come nigh hath the ploughman to the reaper, And the treader of grapes to the scatterer of seed, And the mountains have dropped juice, And all the hills do melt.
“Vakai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOku hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻe maʻu atu ʻe he tangata tauhi huo toho ʻae tangata tuʻusi, pea ko ia ʻoku malaki ʻae kālepi, ʻaia ʻoku tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga; pea ʻe toʻiʻi ʻae uaine melie ʻe he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻe vai ʻae ngaahi tafungofunga kotoa pē:
14 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel, And they have built desolate cities, and inhabited, And have planted vineyards, and drunk their wine, And made gardens, and eaten their fruit.
Pea te u toe ʻomi ʻae pōpula ʻo hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli, pea te nau toe langa ʻae kolo naʻe lala, pea nofo ai; pea te nau tō ngoue vaine, pea inu ʻae uaine ʻo ia; te nau ngoue foki, pea kai hono fua.
15 And I have planted them on their own ground, And they are not plucked up any more from off their own ground, That I have given to them, said Jehovah thy God!
Pea te u tō ʻakinautolu ʻi honau fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai toe taʻaki ʻakinautolu mei he fonua, ʻaia kuo u foaki kiate kinautolu,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
