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 YHWH has spoken concerning you, O sons of Israel, concerning all the family that I brought up 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.
“Only you have I known of all families of the earth, Therefore I charge on you all your iniquities.”
3 E hiki anei i na mea elua ke hele pu, ke kuikahi pu ole laua?
Do two walk together if they have not met?
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 a forest and he has no prey? Does a young lion give out his voice from his habitation, If he has not caught?
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 fall into a snare of the earth, And there is no trap for it? Does a snare go up from the ground, And it does not capture prey?
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?
Is a horn blown in a city, And do people not tremble? Is there affliction in a city, And YHWH has 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.
For Lord YHWH does nothing, Except He has revealed His counsel 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?
A lion has roared—who does not fear? Lord YHWH has spoken—who does 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.
“Sound to palaces in Ashdod, And to palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: Be gathered on mountains of Samaria, And see many troubles within her, And oppressed ones 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.
And they have not known to act straightforwardly,” A declaration of YHWH, “Who are treasuring up violence and spoil 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 said Lord YHWH: “An adversary—and surrounding the land, And he has brought down your strength from you, And your palaces have been spoiled.”
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 said YHWH: “As the shepherd delivers from the lion’s mouth Two legs, or a piece of an ear, So the sons of Israel are delivered, Who are sitting in Samaria on the corner of a bed, And in Damascus [on that 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 to the house of Jacob,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, 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.
“For in the day of My charging the transgressions of Israel on him, I have laid a charge on the altars of Beth-El, And the horns of the altar have been cut off, And they have fallen to the earth.
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 have struck the winter-house with the summer-house, And houses of ivory have perished, And many houses have been consumed,” A declaration of YHWH!
