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,
Heare this worde that the Lord pronounceth against you, O children of Israel, euen against the whole familie which I brought vp from the land of Egypt, saying,
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.
You onely haue I knowen of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visite you for all your iniquities.
3 E hiki anei i na mea elua ke hele pu, ke kuikahi pu ole laua?
Can two walke together except they bee agreed?
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?
Will a lion roare in ye forest, when he hath no pray? or wil a lions whelpe cry out of his den, if he haue taken 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?
Can a birde fall in a snare vpon the earth, where no fouler is? or will he take vp the snare from the earth, and haue taken nothing at all?
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?
Or shall a trumpet be blowen in the citie, and the people be not afraide? or shall there be euil in a citie, and the Lord hath not done 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 will doe nothing, but he reueileth his secrete vnto his seruantes 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 lyon hath roared: who will not bee afraide? the Lord God hath spoken: who can but prophecie?
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.
Proclayme in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the lande of Egypt, and saye, Assemble your selues vpon the mountaines of Samaria: so beholde the great tumultes in the middes thereof, and the oppressed in the middes thereof.
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 knowe not to doe right, sayth the Lord: they store vp violence, and robbery in their palaces.
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 thus saith the Lord God, An aduersary shall come euen rounde about the countrey, and shall bring downe thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shalbe spoyled.
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.
Thus saieth the Lord, As the shephearde taketh out of the mouth of the lyon two legges, or a piece of an eare: so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus, as in a couche.
13 E hoolohe oukou, a e hoike aku i ko ka hale o Iakoba, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, ke Akua o na kaua;
Heare, and testifie in the house of Iaakob, saith the Lord God, the God of hostes.
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.
Surely in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel vpon him, I wil also visite the altars of Beth-el, and the hornes of the altar shall be broken off, and 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.
And I wil smite the winter house with the sommer house, and the houses of yuorie shall perish, and the great houses shalbe consumed, sayth the Lord.
