< Amosa 1 >

1 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.
Words of Amos — who hath been among herdsmen of Tekoa — that he hath seen concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the shaking;
2 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.
and he saith: Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from Jerusalem giveth forth His voice, And mourned have pastures of the shepherds, And withered hath the top of Carmel!
3 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:
And thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their threshing Gilead with sharp-pointed irons,
4 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.
And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it hath consumed the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
5 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.
And I have broken the bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from Bikat-Aven, And a holder of a sceptre from Beth-Eden, And removed have been the people of Aram to Kir, said Jehovah.
6 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;
Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their removing a complete captivity, To deliver up to Edom,
7 Aka, e hoolei aku au i ke ahi maloko o ka papohaku o Gaza, A e hoopau aku ia i kona mau halealii;
And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it hath consumed her palaces;
8 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.
And I have cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And a holder of a sceptre from Ashkelon, And have turned back My hand against Ekron, And perished have the remnant of the Philistines, Said the Lord Jehovah.
9 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:
Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their delivering up a complete captivity to Edom, And they remembered not the brotherly covenant,
10 Aka, e hoolei aku au i ke ahi iloko o ka papohaku o Turo, Ka mea e hoopau ai i kona mau halealii.
And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it hath consumed her palaces.
11 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.
Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing with a sword his brother, And he hath destroyed his mercies, And tear perpetually doth his anger, And his wrath — he hath kept it for ever,
12 A e hoolei aku au i ke ahi iloko o Temana, A e hoopau aku ia i na halealii o Bozera.
And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it hath consumed palaces of Bozrah.
13 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:
Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their ripping up the pregnant ones of Gilead, To enlarge their border,
14 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:
And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it hath consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of hurricane,
15 A e hele aku no ko lakou alii iloko o ke pio, Oia a me kana mau kaukaualii kekahi, wahi a Iehova.
And gone hath their king in a removal, He and his heads together, said Jehovah!
