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,

Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and behold, it was the latter growth after the king’s harvest.

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.

When they finished eating the grass of the land, then I said, “Lord GOD, forgive, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small.”

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

The LORD relented concerning this. “It shall not be,” says 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,

Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, the Lord GOD called for judgement by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land.

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 I said, “Lord GOD, stop, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small.”

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

The LORD relented concerning this. “This also shall not be,” says the Lord GOD.

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.

Thus he showed me: behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by 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.

The LORD said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, “Behold, I will set a plumb line in the middle of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.

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.

The high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise 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 the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the middle of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear 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 Amos says, ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his 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:

Amaziah also said to Amos, “You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, 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 again any more at Bethel; for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a royal house!”

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 Amos answered Amaziah, “I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son, but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;

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.

and the LORD took me 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 word: ‘You say, Don’t prophesy against Israel, and don’t proclaim 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.

Therefore the LORD says: ‘Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.’”
