Amosa 3
1 E HOOLOHE i keia olelo a Iehova i olelo mai ai no oukou, e na mamo a Iseraela, No ka ohana a pau, a'u i lawe mai ai mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, i mai la,
Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt:
2 O oukou wale no ka'u i ike ai, mamua o na ohana a pau o ka honua: No ia mea, e hoopai aku ai au ia oukou no ko oukou hewa a pau.
“Only you have I known from all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.”
3 E hiki anei i na mea elua ke hele pu, ke kuikahi pu ole laua?
Can two walk together without agreeing where to go?
4 E uwo anei ka liona ma ka ululaau ke loaa ole ia ia ke pio? E hoopuka anei ka liona opio i kona leo mai kona lua aku, ke loaa ole ia ia kekahi mea?
Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a young lion growl in his den if he has caught nothing?
5 E haule anei ka manu iloko o ka pahele ma ka honua ke ole ka pahele nona? E lawe anei kekahi i ka pahele mai ka honua ae ke loaa ole ia ia kekahi mea iki?
Does a bird land in a snare where no bait has been set? Does a trap spring from the ground when it has nothing to catch?
6 E puhiia anei ka pu ma ke kulanakauhale, a pihoihoi ole na kanaka? He ino anei maloko o ke kulanakauhale, aole na Iehova ia i hana?
If a ram’s horn sounds in a city, do the people not tremble? If calamity comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?
7 No ka mea, aole e hana mai o Iehova ka Haku i kekahi mea, Ke hoike ole mai ia i kona mea huna i kana mau kauwa, i na kaula.
Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.
8 Ua uwo mai ka liona, owai la ka mea makau ole? Ua olelo mai o Iehova ka Haku, owai la ka mea wanana ole?
The lion has roared— who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken— who will not prophesy?
9 E hai aku ma na halealii i Asedoda, A ma na halealii i ka aina o Aigupita, a e i aku, E hoakoakoaia oukou maluna o na mauna o Samaria, A e nana i ka haunaele nui iwaenakonu ona, A i na hookaumaha ana iloko ona.
Proclaim to the citadels of Ashdod and to the citadels of Egypt: “Assemble on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest in the city and the acts of oppression in her midst.”
10 Aole lakou e ike e hana i ka pono, wahi a Iehova, Hoiliili lakou i ka waiwai alunu, A i ka mea kaili wale, iloko o ko lakou mau halealii.
“For they know not how to do right,” declares the LORD. “They store up violence and destruction in their citadels.”
11 No ia mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, peneia; E hele mai auanei ka enemi, a puni ka aina; A e lawe aku ia i kou ikaika mai ou aku la, A e haoia kou mau halealii.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “An enemy will surround the land; he will pull down your strongholds and plunder your citadels.”
12 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, peneia; E like me ke kahuhipa i hoopakele mailoko mai o ka waha o ka liona, i na wawae elua a me kekahi apana o ka pepeiao; Pela e hoopakeleia na mamo a Iseraela, ka poe e noho ana ma Samaria ma ke kihi o kahi moe, a ma Damaseko ma kahi hikiee.
This is what the LORD says: “As the shepherd snatches from the mouth of the lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so the Israelites dwelling in Samaria will be rescued having just the corner of a bed or the cushion of a couch.
13 E hoolohe oukou, a e hoike aku i ko ka hale o Iakoba, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, ke Akua o na kaua;
Hear and testify against the house of Jacob, declares the Lord GOD, the God of Hosts.
14 A i ka la a'u e hoopai aku ai i ka hewa o ka Iseraela iluna ona, A e hoopai hoi au i na kuahu o Betela: A e okiia na pepeiaohao o ke kuahu, a haule iho la ia ilalo i ka honua.
On the day I punish Israel for their transgressions, I will visit destruction on the altars of Bethel; the horns of the altar will be cut off, and they will fall to the ground.
15 A e wahi aku au i ka hale hooilo me ka hale kau. A e wawahiia na hale niho elepani, A hoopauia hoi na hale nui, wahi a Iehova.
I will tear down the winter house along with the summer house; the houses of ivory will also perish, and the great houses will come to an end,”
