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 saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Moab, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; 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 upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab shall 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 the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith 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 saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Judah, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have rejected the law of the LORD, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have caused them to err, after the which their fathers did walk:
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 upon Judah, and it shall 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 saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Israel, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; 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;
that pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go unto the [same] maid, 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 upon clothes taken in pledge, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of such as 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 destroyed I 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.
And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith 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 ye gave the Nazirites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
13 Aia hoi, e kaomi iho au ia oukou, E like me ke kaomi ana o ke kaa i piha i na pua.
Behold, I will press [you] in your place, as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves.
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.
And flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not 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 that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver [himself]: neither shall he that rideth 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 that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
