Amosa 9

1 I KE aku la au ia Iehova e ku ana maluna o ke kuahu: a i mai la ia, E hahau i ke poo o ke kia, i haalulu ai na kumu kia; A e oki ia lakou ma ke poo, ia lakou a pau; A e pepehi aku au i ke koena o lakou me ka pahikaua: O ka mea o lakou e holo ana, aole ia e malu; A o ka mea e pakele ana, aole e pakele io.

I saw YHWH standing beside the altar, and he said, "Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will kill the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape.

2 Ina e eli iho lakou i ka po, e lawe ko'u lima ia lakou mailaila mai; Ina e pii lakou i ka lani, e lawe au ia lakou mailaila mai; (Sheol h7585)

Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

3 A ina e pee lakou maluna o ka piko o Karemela, e imi aku au, a e lawe ia lakou mailaila mai; A ina e pee lakou mai kuu maka aku ma ka mole o ke kai, Malaila e kena aku au i ka nahesa, a e nahu aku ia ia lakou.

Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out there; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.

4 A ina e hele pio aku lakou imua o ko lakou poe enemi, Malaila e kena aku au i ka pahikaua, a e luku aku ia ia lakou; A e kau aku kuu mau maka maluna o lakou no ka ino, aole no ka maikai.

Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for disaster, and not for good.

5 A o Iehova, ka Haku o na kaua, oia ka mea e hoopa i ka aina, a e hehee iho no ia; A e auwe iho ka poe a pau e noho ana iloko ona: A e ea ae ia me he muliwai la a puni ona; A e halana ae e like me ka muliwai o Aigupita.

For YHWH of hosts is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt.

6 Oia ka i hana i na papaluna iloko o ka lani, a i hookumu i kona poai maluna o ka honua; O ka mea i hoopii ae i na wai o ka moana, a ninini iho ia lakou maluna o ka ili o ka aina; O Iehova kona inoa:

It is he who builds his upper chamber in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth; YHWH is his name.

7 E na mamo a Iseraela, aole anei oukou i like ia'u me na mamo a Kusa? wahi a Iehova. Aole anei au i lawe mai i ka Iseraela mai ka aina o Aigupita mai? A i ko Pilisetia mai Kapetora mai, a me ko Suria mai Kira mai?

Are you not like the people of Ethiopia to me, children of Israel?" says YHWH. "Haven't I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans from Kir?

8 Aia hoi, o na maka o Iehova ka Haku maluna o ke aupuni hewa; A e hokai aku au ia mai ka honua aku; Aka hoi, aole au e luku loa aku i ko ka hale o Iakoba, wahi a Iehova.

Look, the eyes of YHWH are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob," says YHWH.

9 No ka mea, aia hoi, e kauoha aku au, a e kanana iho ai i ko ka hale o Iseraela iwaena o na lahuikanaka a pau; E like me ka hua palaoa i kananaia iloko o ke kanana, Aole e haule kekahi hua ma ka honaa.

"For, look, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, as one sifts with a sieve, but not even a pebble will fall to the ground.

10 E make ka poe hewa a pau o kuu poe kanaka i ka pahikaua, Ka poe e olelo ana, Aole e hiki mai ka hewa mahope, aole hoi mamua o kakou.

All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, 'Evil won't overtake nor meet us.'

11 I kela la e kukulu au i ka halelewa o Davida i wawahiia, A e hoopaa i kona wahi hiolo; A e hooku hou au i kona mau mea i heleleiia, A hana aku ia e like me na la mamua;

On that day I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen, and repair its broken places, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it as in the days of old;

12 I lilo no lakou ke koena o ka Edoma, a me na lahuikanaka a pau, Ka poe i kaheaia ka inoa o Iehova maluna o lakou, wahi a Iehova, nana keia i hana.

that the rest of humanity may seek after YHWH, and all the nations who are called by my name," says YHWH who does this.

13 Aia hoi, e hiki mai na la, wahi a Iehova, E halawai ai ka mea e mahiai ana, me ka mea e oki ana, A o ka mea e hehi i na huawaina, me ka mea e lulu i ka hua; A e hookulukulu iho na mauna i ka waina hou, A e hehee iho na puu a pau.

"Look, the days come," says YHWH, "that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.

14 A e hoihoi mai au i ka poe pio o kuu poe kanaka o ka Iseraela, A e kukulu lakou i na kulanakauhale neoneo, a noho lakou iloko; A e kanu lakou i na pawaina, a e inu lakou i ko lakou waina; A e hana lakou i na kihapai, a e ai hoi i ko lakou hua.

I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

15 A e kanu iho au ia lakou ma ko lakou aina iho, Aole e uhuki hou ia ae lakou mai ko lakou aina ae, Ka mea a'u i haawi aku ai ia lakou, wahi a Iehova kou Akua.

I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them," says YHWH your God.
