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 have seen the Lord standing by the altar, and He saith: 'Smite the knob, and the thresholds shake, And cut them off by the head — all of them, And their posterity with a sword I do slay, Not flee to them doth the fleer, Nor escape to them doth a fugitive.
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)
If they dig through into sheol, From thence doth My hand take them, And if they go up the heavens, From thence I cause them to come 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.
And if they be hid in the top of Carmel, From thence I search out, and have taken them, And if they be hid from Mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, From thence I command the serpent, And it hath bitten 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.
And if they go into captivity before their enemies, From thence I command the sword, And it hath slain them, And I have set Mine eye on them for evil, 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.
And [it is] the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Who is striking against the land, and it melteth, And mourned have all the inhabitants in it, And come up as a flood hath all of it, And it hath sunk — like the flood 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:
Who is building in the heavens His upper chambers; As to His troop, Upon earth He hath founded it, Who is calling for the waters of the sea, And poureth them out on the face of the land, Jehovah [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?
As sons of Cushim are ye not to Me? O sons of Israel — an affirmation of Jehovah. Israel did I not bring up out of the land of Egypt? And the Philistines from Caphtor, and Aram 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.
Lo, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah [are] on the sinful kingdom, And I have destroyed it from off the face of the ground, Only, I destroy not utterly the house of Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 lo, I am commanding, And I have shaken among all the nations the house of Israel, As [one] doth shake with a sieve, And there falleth not a grain [to] the earth.
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.
By sword die do all sinners of My people, Who are saying, 'Not overtake, or go before, For our sakes, doth evil.'
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;
In that day I raise the tabernacle of David, that is fallen, And I have repaired their breaches, And its ruins I do raise up, And I have built it up as in 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.
So that they possess the remnant of Edom, And all the nations on whom My name is called, An affirmation of Jehovah — doer of 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.
Lo, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah, And come nigh hath the ploughman to the reaper, And the treader of grapes to the scatterer of seed, And the mountains have dropped juice, And all the hills do melt.
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.
And I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel, And they have built desolate cities, and inhabited, And have planted vineyards, and drunk their wine, And made gardens, and eaten their fruit.
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.
And I have planted them on their own ground, And they are not plucked up any more from off their own ground, That I have given to them, said Jehovah thy God!
