Amosa 6
1 A UWE ka poe palaka ma Ziona, A hilinai hoi ma ka mauna o Samaria: Ka poe i oleloia, o na pookela o na lahuikanaka, Io lakou la i hele mai ka Iseraela!
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
2 E hele aku oukou i Kalene, a e nana; A mai laila aku e hele ai oukou i Hamata nui; Alaila, e iho aku i Gata o ko Pilisetia: Ua oi anei ko lakou maikai mamua o ko keia mau aupuni? Ua oi anei ka palahalaha o ko lakou mokuna mamua o ko oukou mokuna?
Pass you to Calneh, and see; and from there go you to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
3 Auwe ka poe i hooloihi aku i ka la ino, A hookokoke i ka noho hookaumaha wale;
You that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 Ka poe e moe ana maluna o na wahi moe niho elepani, A moe hoolei loa maluna o ko lakou wahi moe, A ai iho i na keikihipa o ka poe hipa, A me na keiki bipi i kupeleia;
That lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the middle of the stall;
5 Ka poe mele mamuli o ka viola, A hana lakou no lakou iho i na mea kani e like me Davida;
That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of music, like David;
6 Ka poe inu waina maloko o na kiaha, A kahinu ia lakou iho i ka hinu maikai: Aka, aole i kaumaha lakou no ka eha ana o ka Iosepa!
That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 No ia mea, ano e hele pio aku ai lakou iwaena o ka poe pio mua, A e laweia'ku ka olioli o ka poe moe hoolei loa.
Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
8 Ua hoohiki o Iehova ka Haku, ma kona ola, wahi a Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, Ke hoopailua nei au i ka haaheo o Iakoba, A ke hoowahawaha nei hoi i kona mau halealii; Nolaila, e hoolilo aku ai au i ke kulanakauhale, a me kona mea i piha ai.
The Lord GOD has sworn by himself, says the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 A ina e waihoia na kanaka he umi ma ka hale hookahi, e make no lakou.
And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
10 A o ka hoahanau o kona makuakane e lawe aku ia ia, A o ka mea i puhi ia ia, e lawe aku iwaho i na iwi mailoko mai o ka hale, A e olelo aku i ka mea maloko loa o ka hale, Aole anei he mea i koe me oe? e i mai kela, Aole. Alaila, e i aku ia, Hamau; no ka mea, aole e olelo ma ka inoa o Iehova.
And a man’s uncle shall take him up, and he that burns him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say to him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with you? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold your tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.
11 No ka mea, aia hoi, ke kauoha mai nei o Iehova, A e hahau aku ia i ka hale nui me ka nahaha, A i ka hale uuku me ka wawahi.
For, behold, the LORD commands, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 E holo anei na lio maluna o na pohaku? E mahi oopalau ia anei malaila me na bipi kauo? No ka mea, ua hoolilo oukou i ka hoopono ana i laau make, A i ka hua o ka pono, i laau awaawa:
Shall horses run on the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for you have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
13 E oukou, ka poe e olioli ana i ka mea ole, Ka poe e olelo, Aole anei kakou i lawe no kakou i na pepeiaohao ma ko kakou ikaika?
You which rejoice in a thing of nothing, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
14 Aka, aia hoi, e hoala ku e auanei au i lahuikanaka ia oukou, e ko ka hale o Iseraela, wahi a Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua; A e hookaumaha lakou ia oukou mai ke komo ana o Hamata a hiki i ke kahawai o ka papu.
But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, says the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath to the river of the wilderness.
