Amosa 7
1 PENEIA i hoike mai ai o Iehova ka Haku ia'u: Aia hoi, hana iho la ia i na uhini i ka ulu mua ana o ka weuweu hope; aia hoi, o ka weuweu lua ia mahope o ka ke alii oki ana. A i ka wa i hoopau ai lakou i ka ai ana i ka weuweu o ka aina, alaila i aku la au,
This is what the Lord God showed me: he was forming a swarm of locusts, when the late spring grass began to come up after the king’s share had been harvested.
2 E Iehova ka Haku, ke noi aku nei au, e kala mai oe. Pehea la e ku mai ai o Iakoba? No ka mea, ua uuku ia.
And when they had finished devouring all the land’s vegetation, I said: “Lord God, forgive, I beg you! How can Jacob survive, for he is so helpless?”
3 Huli ae la o Iehova no keia mea: aole ia e hiki mai, wahi a Iehova.
The Lord relented. This will not happen,” said the Lord.
4 Peneia i hoike mai ai o Iehova ka Haku ia'u; Aia hoi, kahea mai o Iehova ka Haku, e hakaka me ke ahi, a ai iho la ia i ka hohonunui, a hoopau iho la i kauwahi. Alaila, i aku la au,
This is what he showed me: the Lord God was giving command to execute judgment by fire. It burned up the great deep, and had begun to devour the fields, and I said:
5 E ka Haku, e Iehova, ke noi aku nei au, e oki: Pehea e ku mai ai o Iakoba? No ka mea, ua uuku ia.
“Lord God, forgive, I beg you! How can Jacob survive, for he is so helpless?”
6 Huli ae la o Iehova no keia mea: aole e hiki mai keia, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
The Lord relented. “This will not happen either,” said the Lord.
7 Peneia i hoike mai ai oia ia'u: Aia hoi, ku mai la ka Haku maluna o ka papohaku kupono, me ka mea hookupono ma kona lima.
This is what the Lord God showed me: the Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.
8 A i mai la o Iehova ia'u, E Amosa, heaha la kau e ike nei? A i aku la au, He mea hookupono. Alaila, i mai la o Iehova. Aia hoi, e hoonoho aku au i na mea hookupono iwaena o kuu poe kanaka o ka Iseraela: Aole au i hele hou ae mai o lakou aku.
And the Lord said to me, “What do you see, Amos?” And I answered, “A plumb line,” Then the Lord said, “Watch: I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel, I will no longer overlook their crookedness.
9 A e hooneoneoia na wahi kiekie o Isaaka, A e wawahiia na wahi hoano o ka Iseraela: A e ku e aku au i ka hale o Ieroboama me ka pahikaua.
And the high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste, and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
10 Alaila, hoouna aku la o Amazia, ke kahuna o Betela. Io Ieroboama la, ke alii o ka Iseraela, i aku la, Ua ku e mai o Amosa ia oe iwaena o ko ka hale o Iseraela: aole e hiki i ka aina ke hoomanawanui i kana mau olelo a pau.
Then Amaziah, chief priest of Bethel sent this message to King Jeroboam of Israel: “Amos has conspired against you right in the heart of Israel. The country cannot survive all his words.
11 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Amosa penei, E make auanei o Ieroboama i ka pahikaua, a e lawe pio ia'ku ka Iseraela mai ko lakou aina aku.
Amos has said, ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will be led away captive out of their land.’”
12 Olelo aku la hoi o Amazia ia Amosa, E ke kaula ike, o hele, e holo aku oe i ka aina o Iuda, a malaila e ai ai i ka berena, a e wanana malaila:
And Amaziah said to Amos, “Leave, you who see visions, go to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and prophesy there,
13 A mai wanana hou ma Betela: no ka mea, he heiau keia no ke alii, a o ko ke alii hale noho keia.
but don’t prophesy any more at Bethel, for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is the royal residence.”
14 Alaila, olelo aku la o Amosa, a i aku la ia Amazia, Aole wau he kaula mamua. aole hoi he keiki a ke kaula; aka, he hanai bipi wau, a he mea hoiliili hua sukamore:
“I am no prophet,” Amos answered Amaziah, “nor trained as one. I am a shepherd and a keeper of sycamores fig trees.
15 A lawe o Iehova ia'u mai ka hahai ana i na holoholona, a olelo mai o Iehova ia'u, E hele, e wanana aku i kuu poe kanaka i ka Iseraela.
But the Lord took me away from following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’
16 Ano hoi, e hoolohe oe i ka olelo a Iehova; Ke olelo nei oe, Mai wanana ku e aku i ka Iseraela, a mai hapai ku e oe i kau olelo i ko ka hale o Isaaka.
Now therefore listen to the Lord’s message: ‘You say not to prophesy against Israel, nor to preach against the house of Isaac.
17 No ia mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, penei: E moe kolohe kau wahine ma ke kulanakauhale, a o kau mau keikikane, a me kau mau kaikamahine, e haule lakou i ka pahikaua, A e puunaueia kou aina me ke kaula-ana: a e make oe ma ka aina haumia; A e hele pio aku ka Iseraela mai ko lakou aina aku.
But the Lord says: Your wife will become a prostitute in the city, your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, your land will be divided up, you will die on unclean soil, and Israel will be led away captive out of their land.’”
