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 against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
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 fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken 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 that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to 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 unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye 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 Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought.
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 the Lord, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.
7 E ka poe i hoolilo i ka olelo hoopono i mea awaawa, A hoolei i ka pono ma ka honua,
Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
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 the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for 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.
That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
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 hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
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.
Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink 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.
For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
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 in 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 good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
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 the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto 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 the Lord, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
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 shall be wailing: for I will pass through 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 unto you 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 did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit 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? even very dark, 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, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn 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.
Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings 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 thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
24 Aka, e hookaheia ka hoopono ana e like me ka wai, A o ka pono e like me ka waikahe ikaika.
But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
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?
Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness 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 ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye 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.
Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose name is The God of hosts.
