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.
The LORD says: “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 among them, and will kill all its princes 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:
The LORD says: “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, and their lies have led them astray, after which their fathers walked;
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;
The LORD says: “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 sandals;
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 the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth and deny justice to the oppressed. 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.
They lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge. 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, ‘Don’t prophesy!’
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 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. The strong won’t strengthen his force. The mighty won’t 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.
He who handles the bow won’t stand. He who is swift of foot won’t escape. He who rides the horse won’t 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.
He who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day,” says the LORD.
