< Amos Propheta 8 >
1 Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: et ecce uncinus pomorum.
ʻOku pehē hono fakahā mai kiate au ʻe he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua: pea vakai, ko e kato fuaʻi ʻakau ʻoe faʻahitaʻu mafana.
2 Et dixit: Quid tu vides, Amos? Et dixi: Uncinum pomorum. Et dixit Dominus ad me: Venit finis super populum meum Israël; non adjiciam ultra ut pertranseam eum.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻAmosi, Ko e hā ʻoku ke mamata ai?” Pea u pehē, “Ko e kato fuaʻi ʻakau ʻoe faʻahitaʻu mafana.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Kuo hoko hono ngataʻanga ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli; ʻe ʻikai te u toe laka ʻiate kinautolu.”
3 Et stridebunt cardines templi in die illa, dicit Dominus Deus: multi morientur; in omni loco projicietur silentium.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻE hoko ʻae ngaahi hiva ʻoe fale tapu, ko e tangi fakalōloa ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: ʻe lahi ʻae ʻangaʻanga ʻi he potu kotoa pē; ʻe lī ʻakinautolu kituʻa ʻi he fakalongo pē.
4 Audite hoc, qui conteritis pauperem, et deficere facitis egenos terræ,
Fanongo eni, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku folo hifo ʻae paea, ʻio, ke fakaʻosi ʻae kakai masiva mei he fonua,
5 dicentes: Quando transibit mensis, et venundabimus merces? et sabbatum, et aperiemus frumentum, ut imminuamus mensuram, et augeamus siclum, et supponamus stateras dolosas,
ʻO pehē, ‘ʻE ʻosi ʻafē ʻae māhina foʻou, ka tau fakatau koane? Pea mo e ʻaho tapu, ka tau vakili ʻae uite, ʻo fakasiʻisiʻi ʻae efa, pea fakalahi ʻae sikeli, pea fakakehe ʻae meʻa fua tautau ʻi he kākā?
6 ut possideamus in argento egenos et pauperes pro calceamentis, et quisquilias frumenti vendamus?
Pea ke tau fakatau ʻae kakai masiva ʻaki ʻae siliva, pea mo e paea ʻaki ha topuvaʻe: pea ke fakatau ʻae uite kovi?’”
7 Juravit Dominus in superbiam Jacob: Si oblitus fuero usque ad finem omnia opera eorum.
Kuo fuakava ʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻae lelei ʻo Sēkope, “Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au ʻenau ngaahi ngāue ʻo lauikuonga.
8 Numquid super isto non commovebitur terra, et lugebit omnis habitator ejus, et ascendet quasi fluvius universus, et ejicicetur, et defluet, quasi rivus Ægypti?
ʻIkai ʻe tetetete ʻae fonua koeʻuhi ko eni, pea taki taha tangi ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi ai? Pea ʻe tupu kātoa ia ʻo hangē ko e lōmaki; pea ʻe lī ia kituʻa ʻo melemo, hangē ko e malofa ʻi ʻIsipite.
9 Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus Deus: occidet sol in meridie, et tenebrescere faciam terram in die luminis:
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, te u pule ke tō ʻae laʻā ʻi he hoʻatāmālie, pea te u fakapoʻuliʻi ʻa māmani ʻi he kei ʻaho ʻaupito:
10 et convertam festivitates vestras in luctum, et omnia cantica vestra in planctum, et inducam super omne dorsum vestrum saccum, et super omne caput calvitium: et ponam eam quasi luctum unigeniti, et novissima ejus quasi diem amarum.
Pea te u liliu hoʻomou ngaahi kātoanga ko e tangi, pea mo hoʻomou hiva kotoa pē ki he tangilāulau; pea te u ʻomi ʻae tauangaʻa ki homou kongaloto kotoa pē, pea ʻe tekefua ʻae ʻulu kotoa pē; pea te u ngaohi ia ke hangē ko e tangi koeʻuhi ko e pele pe taha, pea ko hono ngataʻanga ke hangē ko e ʻaho ʻoe mamahi kona.
11 Ecce dies veniunt, dicet Dominus, et mittam famem in terram: non famem panis, neque sitim aquæ, sed audiendi verbum Domini.
Vakai, ʻoku hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻAia te u fekau ʻae honge ki he fonua, kae ʻikai ko e honge mā, pe ko e fieinu vai, ka ko e fanongo ki he ngaahi folofola ʻa Sihova:
12 Et commovebuntur a mari usque ad mare, et ab aquilone usque ad orientem: circuibunt quærentes verbum Domini, et non invenient.
Pea te nau ʻāuhē mei he tahi ki he tahi, pea mei he tokelau ki hahake, te nau lele fano pe ke kumi ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ka ʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ia.
13 In die illa deficient virgines pulchræ et adolescentes in siti,
ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe pongia ʻae kau taʻahine hoihoifua, mo e kau talavou ʻi he fieinu.
14 qui jurant in delicto Samariæ, et dicunt: Vivit Deus tuus, Dan, et vivit via Bersabee; et cadent, et non resurgent ultra.
Ko kinautolu ʻoku fuakava ki he angahala ʻa Samēlia, pea lea pehē, ‘ʻOku moʻui ho ʻotua, ʻe Tani;’ pea ‘Ko e anga ʻo Peasipa ʻoku moʻui;’ te nau tō, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toetuʻu ʻo lauikuonga.”
