Amosa 5
1 E HOOLOHE oukou i keia olelo, a'u e hapai aku nei no oukou, Oia hoi, he kanikau, e ka hale o ka Iseraela.
Hear ye this word, which I take up concerning you for a lamentation. The house of Israel is fallen, and it shall rise no more.
2 Ua haule, aole e ala hou ae, ke kaikamahine puupaa o ka Iseraela: Ua kulaina oia maluna o kona aina iho: Aohe mea nana ia e hoala.
The virgin of Israel is cast down upon her land, there is none to raise her up.
3 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, peneia: O ko ke kulanakauhale i hele patausani aku, e koe mai no he haneri; A o ka mea i hele pahaneri aku, e koe mai no he umi, no ka hale o ka Iseraela.
For thus saith the Lord God: The city, out of which came forth a thousand, there shall be left in it a hundred: and out of which there came a hundred, there shall be left in it ten, in the house of Israel.
4 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia i ka hale o ka Iseraela, E imi oukou ia'u, a e ola oukou.
For thus saith the Lord to the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and you shall live.
5 Aka, mai imi oukou i Betela, Aole hoi e komo i Gilegala, Aole e hele aku i Beereseba; No ka mea, he oiaio, e hele pio aku ko Gilegala, A e lilo o Betela i mea ole.
But seek not Bethel, and go not into Galgal, neither shall you pass over to Bersabee: for Galgal shall go into captivity, and Bethel shall be unprofitable.
6 E imi oukou ia Iehova, a e ola oukou; O lele mai ia, me he ahi la, ma ka hale o Iosepa, A e hoopau aku ia, Aohe mea nana ia e kinai ma Betela.
Seek ye the Lord, and live: lest the house of Joseph be burnt with fire, and it shall devour, and there shall be none to quench Bethel.
7 E ka poe i hoolilo i ka olelo hoopono i mea awaawa, A hoolei i ka pono ma ka honua,
You that turn judgment into wormwood, and forsake justice in the land,
8 E imi i ka mea nana i hana ia Peleiade a me Oriona, A hoolilo i ka malu o ka make i malamalama, A hoopouli i ke ao a lilo i po: Ka mea e hoopii ana i na wai o ka moana, A ninini iho ia lakou maluna o ka ili o ka honua: O Iehova kona inoa:
Seek him that maketh Arcturus, and Orion, and that turneth darkness into morning, and that changeth day into night: that calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.
9 O ka mea e lawe mai i ka make maluna o ka poe ikaika, A e hoohiki mai i ka luku maluna o kahi paa.
He that with a smile bringeth destruction upon the strong, and waste upon the mighty.
10 Ke inaina nei lakou i ka mea e ao ana ma ka pukapa, A hoowahawaha lakou i ka mea e olelo pono ana.
They have hated him that rebuketh in the gate: and have abhorred him that speaketh perfectly.
11 No ia mea, no ko oukou hehi ana maluna o ka ilihune, A ke lawe nei oukou i ka ai makana mai ona aku la: Ua hana oukou i na hale pohaku i kalaiia, Aka, aole oukou e noho iloko o lakou; Ua kanu oukou i na pawaina maikai, Aka, aole oukou e inu i ka waina o lakou.
Therefore because you robbed the poor, and took the choice prey from him: you shall build houses with square stone, and shall not dwell in them: you shall plant most delightful vineyards, and shall not drink the wine of them.
12 No ka mea, ua ike au, he nui wale ko oukou lawehala ana, A me ko oukou mau hewa nui: E hoopilikia ana i ka poe hoopono, e lawe ana i ka uku kipe, A e hookahuli ana i ka pono o ka poe ilihune ma ka pukapa.
Because I know your manifold crimes, and your grievous sins: enemies of the just, taking bribes, and oppressing the poor in the gate.
13 No ia mea, e noho malie ka mea naauao i kela manawa; No ka mea, he manawa ino ia.
Therefore the prudent shall keep silence at that time, for it is an evil time.
14 E imi oukou i ka maikai, aole i ka hewa, i ola oukou; A pela e mau ai o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua me oukou, e like me ka oukou i olelo ai.
Seek ye good, and not evil, that you may live: and the Lord the God of hosts will be with you, as you have said.
15 E inaina i ka hewa, a e aloha i ka maikai, A e hookupaa oukou i ka hoopono ma ka pukapa: Malia paha e aloha mai o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, i ke koena o ka Iosepa.
Hate evil, and love good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be the Lord the God of hosts may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
16 No ia hoi, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, ka Haku, peneia; Ma na alanui a pau he auwe ana; A ma na wahi iwaho a pau, e olelo lakou, Auwe! auwe! A e kahea aku lakou i ka mea mahiai i ka u ana, A i ka poe ike e kanikau i ka uwe ana.
Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of hosts the sovereign Lord: In every street there shall be wailing: and in all places that are without, they shall say: Alas, alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skillful in lamentation to lament.
17 A ma na pawaina a pau ka uwe ana: No ka mea, e hele auanei au iwaena ou, wahi a Iehova.
And in all vineyards there shall be wailing: because I will pass through in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
18 Auwe ka poe iini i ka la o Iehova! No ke aha la keia ia oukou? O ka la o Iehova, he pouli ia, aole he malamalama.
Woe to them that desire the day of the Lord: to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.
19 E like me ke kanaka i holo mai ke alo aku o ka liona, a halawai ka bea me ia: A i komo paha iloko o ka hale, a hilinai kona lima ma ka paia, a nahu mai ka nahesa ia ia.
As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and a bear should meet him: or enter into the house, and lean with his hand upon the wall, and a serpent should bite him.
20 Aole anei he pouli ka la o Iehova, me ka malamalama ole? A he pouli loa, aohe ona malamalama.
Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light: and obscurity, and no brightness in it?
21 Ke inaina nei au, ke hoowahawaha nei au i ko oukou mau ahaaina, Aole wau e oluolu i ko oukou mau halawai ana.
I hate, and have rejected your festivities: and I will not receive the odour of your assemblies.
22 Ina e kaumaha mai oukou no'u i ka oukou mau mohai kuni, a me ka oukou mau mohai makana, aole au e oluolu ia mea: Aole hoi au e manao i ka mohai aloha o ko oukou mau mea momona.
And if you offer me holocausts, and your gifts, I will not receive them: neither will I regard the vows of your fat beasts.
23 E lawe ae oe mai o'u aku nei i ke oli ana o ka oukou mau mele; Aole au e hoolohe i ke kani ana o ko oukou mau viola.
Take away from me the tumult of thy songs: and I will not hear the canticles of thy harp.
24 Aka, e hookaheia ka hoopono ana e like me ka wai, A o ka pono e like me ka waikahe ikaika.
But judgment shall be revealed as water, and justice as a mighty torrent.
25 Ua kaumaha mai anei oukou na'u i na mohai, a me na makana ma ka waonahele i na makahiki he kanaha, e ka hale o ka Iseraela?
Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me in the desert for forty years, O house of Israel?
26 Ua hali oukou i ka halelewa o ko oukou Moloka, A me ka hale o ko oukou mau kii, Ka hoku o ko oukou akua, ka mea a oukou i hana'i no oukou.
But you carried a tabernacle for your Moloch, and the image of your idols, the star of your god, which you made to yourselves.
27 Nolaila, e lawe pio aku au ia oukou ma o aku o Damaseko, wahi a Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, kona inoa.
And I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, the God of hosts is his name.
