Amosa 1
1 O NA olelo a Amosa, ka mea iwaena o na kahu bipi o Tekoa, na mea ana i ike ai no ka Iseraela, i na la o Uzia, ke alii o ka Iuda, a i na la o Ieroboama, ke keiki a Ioasa, ke alii o ka Iseraela, elua makahiki mamua o ke olai.
The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa, which he prophesied concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earth quake. He said: —
2 A i aku la ia, E uwo mai o Iehova mai Ziona mai, A e hoopuka mai i kona leo mai Ierusalema mai; E uwe no na wahi noho o na kahuhipa, A e maloo ka piko o Karemela.
Jehovah will roar from Zion, And utter his voice from Jerusalem; The habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, And the top of Carmel shall wither.
3 Penei ka Iehova i olelo ai; No na hala ekolu o Damaseko, a me ka ha, aole au e hoololi ae i kona hoopaiia, No ka mea, ua hehi lakou i ko Gileada me ka mea hao e hehi palaoa ai:
Thus saith Jehovah; For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, will I not turn away its punishment; For they thrashed Gilead with thrashing-wains of iron.
4 A e hoouna'ku ai i ke ahi iloko o ka hale o Hazaela, Ka mea e hoopau ai i na hale alii o Benehadada.
I will send a fire upon the house of Hazael, Which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
5 A e haki no ia'u ke kaola o Damaseko, A e hooki aku au i na kanaka mai ke awawa o Avena aku, A me ka mea e hoopaa ana i ke kookoo alii, mai ka hale o Edena aku: A e hele pio aku la na kanaka o Suria i Kira, wahi a Iehova.
I will also break the bar of Damascus, And I will destroy the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, And him that holdeth the sceptre from Beth-Eden, And the people of Syria shall be led captive to Kir: Jehovah hath said it.
6 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, penei; No na hala ekolu o Gaza, a me ka ha, aole au e hoololi ae i kona hoopaiia; No ko lakou lawe pio ana i ka poe pio a pau, A haawi aku ia lakou i ka Edoma;
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I will not turn away its punishment; For they led captive all that fell into their hands, And delivered them up to Edom.
7 Aka, e hoolei aku au i ke ahi maloko o ka papohaku o Gaza, A e hoopau aku ia i kona mau halealii;
But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, Which shall devour her palaces.
8 A e hooki aku au i kanaka mai Asedoda aku, A me ka mea e hoopaa ana i ka hoailona moi mai Asekelona aku; A e hooku e aku au i kuu lima i Ekerona; A e make ke koena o ko Pilisetia, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
And I will destroy the inhabitant from Ashdod, And him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; And I will turn my hand against Ekron, And the residue of the Philistines shall perish. The Lord, Jehovah, hath said it.
9 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, peneia; No na hala ekolu, o Turo, a me ka ha, aole au e hoololi ae i kona hoopaiia: No ka mea, ua hoolilo lakou i ka poe pio a pau i ko Edoma, Aole hoi i hoomanao i ka berita o na hoahanau:
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, will I not turn away its punishment; Because they delivered up all their captives to Edom, And remembered not the brotherly covenant.
10 Aka, e hoolei aku au i ke ahi iloko o ka papohaku o Turo, Ka mea e hoopau ai i kona mau halealii.
But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, Which shall devour her palaces.
11 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, penei; No na hala ekolu o ka Edoma, a me ka ha, aole au e hoololi ae i kona hoopaiia: No ka mea, ua hahai aku ia i kona hoahanau me ka pahikaua, A ua haalele aku i kona aloha, A ua haehae mau loa kona inaina, A ua hoomau loa ia i kona huhu.
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, will I not turn away his punishment; For he pursued his brother with the sword, And cast off all pity, And his anger tore perpetually; Yea, he kept his wrath forever.
12 A e hoolei aku au i ke ahi iloko o Temana, A e hoopau aku ia i na halealii o Bozera.
But I will send a fire upon Teman. Which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, penei; No na hala ekolu o na mamo a Amona, a me ka ha, aole au e hoololi ae i kona hoopaiia; No ka mea, ua kaha aku lakou i na wahine hapai o Gileada, I hoopalahalaha aku ai lakou i ko lakou palena:
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, And for four, will I not turn away their punishment; For they ripped up the women with child of Gilead, That they might enlarge their border.
14 Aka, e hoa aku au i ke ahi iloko o ka papohaku o Raba, A e hoopau aku ia i na halealii ona, Me ka hooho i ka la o ke kaua, Me ka ino i ka la o ka puahiohio:
But I will kindle a fire on the wall of Rabbah, Which shall devour her palaces, Amid the war-shout in the day of battle, In a whirlwind in the day of the storm.
15 A e hele aku no ko lakou alii iloko o ke pio, Oia a me kana mau kaukaualii kekahi, wahi a Iehova.
Their king shall go into captivity, He and his princes together, saith Jehovah.
