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,

Here, My Lord, Yahweh gave me to see, and lo! he was preparing the locust, in the beginning of the shooting up of the after-grass, —and lo! after-grass, cometh after the mowings for the king.

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 it came to pass, when they had made an end of eating the herbage of the land, that I said—Oh, My Lord, Yahweh, forgive, I beseech thee: By whom shall Jacob, arise? for, small, he is.

3 Huli ae la o Iehova no keia mea: aole ia e hiki mai, wahi a Iehova.

Grieved was Yahweh, over this, —It shall not be, said Yahweh?

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,

Here, My Lord, Yahweh gave me to see, and lo! My Lord Yahweh proclaiming that, the controversy should be settled by fire, —which, having devoured the mighty roaring deep, should devour the inheritance.

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.

Then said I, My Lord, Yahweh, forbear, I beseech thee, By whom shall Jacob, arise? for, small, he is.

6 Huli ae la o Iehova no keia mea: aole e hiki mai keia, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.

Grieved was Yahweh, over this, —Even this, shall not be, said My Lord, Yahweh.

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.

Here, he gave me to see, and lo! My Lord, stationed upon a pinnacle, —and, in his hand a plummet.

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 Yahweh said unto me, What canst thou see, Amos? And I said, A plummet, —Then said My Lord, Behold me! fixing a plummet in the midst of my people Israel, I will not again any more forgive him.

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.

So shall the high places of Isaac, be made desolate, and, the holy places of Israel, 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 sent Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, unto Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: A conspiracy hath Amos, raised against thee, in the midst of the house of Israel, The land, is not able to endure, 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.

For, thus, saith Amos, By the sword, shall Jeroboam, die, —and, Israel, shall, surely be exiled, from off his own soil.

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:

Then said Amaziah unto Amos, O seer, go flee thee away unto the land of Judah—and eat, there, bread, and, there, mayest thou prophesy;

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, at Bethel, not again, any more, mayest thou prophesy, —for, the holy place of the king, it is, and, the house of the kingdom, it is.

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:

Then answered Amos, and said unto Amaziah, No prophet, was I, —nor the son of a prophet, was I, —but, a herdman, was I, and a preparer of sycamore fruit;

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 Yahweh, took me away, from following the flock, —and Yahweh, said unto me, Go prophesy against 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, hear thou the word of Yahweh, —Thou art saying, Thou must not prophesy concerning Israel, nor let thy word drop down upon 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.

Therefore—Thus, saith Yahweh, Thy wife, in the city, will commit unchastity, and, thy sons and thy daughters, by the sword, shall fall, and, thine own soil, by line, shall he apportioned, —and, thou, on a polluted soil, shalt die, and, Israel, shall, surely go into exile, away from his own soil.
