Amosa 2
1 OLELO mai o Iehova, penei; No na hala ekolu o ka Moaba, a me ka ha, Aole au e hoololi ae i kona hoopaiia; No ka mea, ua puhi aku ia i na iwi o ke alii o Edoma i puna.
Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime;
2 Aka, e hoolei aku au i ke ahi iloko o Moaba; A e hoopau aku ia i na halealii o Kiriota: A e make ana ka Moaba, me ka haunaele, Me ka hooho, a me ke kani ana o ka pu.
but I will send a fire on Moab, and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;
3 A e hooki aku au i ka lunakanawai mai waena mai ona, A e pepehi aku au i kona mau luna a pau me ia, wahi a Iehova.
and I will cut off the judge from their midst, and will kill all its officials with him," says the LORD.
4 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, peneia; No na hala ekolu o ka Iuda, a me ka ha, aole au e hoololi ae i kona hoopaiia; No ka mea, ua hoowahawaha lakou i ke kanawai o Iehova, A ua malama ole i kana mau kauoha, A ua hoauwana aku la ko lakou mau mea wahahee ia lakou, Mamuli o na mea a ko lakou mau makua i hele ai:
Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have rejected the LORD's law, and have not kept his statutes. Their false idols which they made, after which their fathers walked, have led them astray.
5 Aka, e hoouna aku au i ke ahi maluna o Iuda, A e hoopau aku ia i na halealii o Ierusalema.
But I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem."
6 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; No na hala ekolu o ka Iseraela, a me ka ha, aole au e hoololi ae i kona hoopaiia; No ka mea, ua kuai aku lakou i ka poe pono no ke kala, A i ka mea ilihune no ka paa kamaa;
Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
7 E kuko ana i ka lepo o ka honua maluna o ke poo o na ilihune, A hoololi ae i ka hoaponoia o ka poe popilikia: A komo aku ke kanaka, a me kona makuakane iloko i ke kaikamahine hookahi, I mea e hoohaumia'i i ko'u inoa hoano;
They trample on the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and deny justice to the oppressed; and a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name;
8 A moe iho lakou maluna o na kapa i laweia i ukupanai, ma kela kuahu keia kuahu, A inu no lakou i ka waina o ka poe i hoopaiia ma ka hale o ko lakou mau akua.
and they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
9 A ua luku aku au i ka Amora imua o lakou, O kona kiekie, ua like me ke kiekie o na laau kedara, A o kona ikaika, ua like me na laau oka; Aka, ua luku aku au i kona hua maluna, A me kona aa malalo.
Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10 A ua lawe mai hoi au ia oukou mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, A alakai ia oukou ma ka waonahele i na makahiki he kanaha, E komo ai i ka aina o ka Amora.
Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 A ua hoolilo au i kekahi o ka oukou poe keiki, i poe kaula, A o ka poe kanaka opiopio o oukou, i poe Nazarite. Aole anei pela, e na mamo a Iseraela? wahi a Iehova.
I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn't this true, you children of Israel?" says the LORD.
12 Aka, hooinu oukou i ka poe Nazarite i ka waina, A papa aku oukou i na kaula, i aku la, Mai wanana oukou.
"But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, 'Do not prophesy.'
13 Aia hoi, e kaomi iho au ia oukou, E like me ke kaomi ana o ke kaa i piha i na pua.
Look, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
14 A e nalowale ka mama mai ka mea mama aku, A o ka mea ikaika, aole ia e hookupaa i kona ikaika, Aole hoi e hoopakele ka mea mana ia ia iho.
Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won't strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;
15 Aole hoi e kupaa ka mea e lawe ana i ke kakaka; A o ka mea wawae mama, aole ia e pakele: Aole hoi ka mea holo maluna o ka lio e hoopakele i kona ola.
neither shall he stand who handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot won't escape; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself;
16 A o ka mea ikaika ma kona naau iwaena o ka poe ikaika, E holo kohana aku ia ia la, wahi a Iehova.
and he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day," says the LORD.
