Amoho 4

1 Whakarongo ki tenei kupu, e nga kau o Pahana, i te maunga o Hamaria, e whakatupu kino na i nga ware, e kuru na i nga rawakore, e mea na ki o ratou ariki, Kawea mai, kia inu tatou.

Hear this word, all of you cattle of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.

2 Kua oatitia tona tapu e te Atua, e Ihowa, nana, kei te haere mai nga ra ki a koutou e mauria ai koutou e ratou ki te matau, o koutou whakamutunga ki te matau ika.

The Lord GOD has sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.

3 Ka haere atu ano koutou na nga pakaru, na nga wahi e hangai mai ana ki tenei, ki tenei; a ka akiri koutou i a koutou ki Haramona, e ai ta Ihowa.

And all of you shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and all of you shall cast them into the palace, says the LORD.

4 Haere mai ki Peteere, ki reira poka ke ai; ki Kirikara whakanui ai i te poka ke; kawea mai ano a koutou patunga tapu i tenei ata, i tenei ata, a koutou whakatekau, i te toru o nga ra.

Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:

5 Tapaea ano he whakahere whakawhetai, he mea kinaki ki te rewena, kauwhautia hoki, karangarangatia nga whakahere noa ake: ko ta koutou hoki tenei i pai ai, e nga tama a Iharaira, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this likes you, O all of you children of Israel, says the Lord GOD.

6 I tukua ano e ahau he parakore mo nga niho ki a koutou i roto i o koutou pa katoa, he tarokore ki o koutou wahi katoa; heoi kihai koutou i tahuri ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.

And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in all your places: yet have all of you not returned unto me, says the LORD.

7 I kaiponuhia ano e ahau te ua ki a koutou i te mea kia toru ake marama ko te kotinga witi: i meinga ano e ahau kia ua ki runga ki tetahi pa, a ki tetahi pa i mea ahau kia kaua e ua: ko tetahi wahi i uaina, a ko te wahi kihai i uaina, maroke noa i ho.

And also I have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.

8 Na kopiko atu ana etahi pa e rua, e toru, ki te pa kotahi ki te inu wai, a kore ake i makona; otiia kihai koutou i hoki mai ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.

So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have all of you not returned unto me, says the LORD.

9 Kua patua koutou e ahau ki te ngingio, ki te koriri: nui noa a koutou kari, a koutou mara waina, a koutou piki, a koutou oriwa, pau ake i te whangawhanga: heoi kihai koutou i hoki mai ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.

I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have all of you not returned unto me, says the LORD.

10 I tukua e ahau te mate uruta ki a koutou, he pera tonu me to Ihipa: ko a koutou taitama he mea patu naku ki te hoari, ko a koutou hoiho riro ana i ahau, a meinga ana e ahau te piro o to koutou puni kia kake ake ki o koutou ihu rawa; heoi kihai k outou i hoki mai ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.

I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have all of you not returned unto me, says the LORD.

11 I hurihia etahi o koutou e ahau ki raro, i peratia me ta te Atua hurihanga i Horoma, i Komora, a rite tonu koutou ki te mounga i kapohia mai i roto i te weranga: heoi kihai koutou i hoki mai ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.

I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and all of you were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have all of you not returned unto me, says the LORD.

12 Mo reira ka meatia tenei e ahau ki a koe, e Iharaira, Ka meinga nei tenei e ahau ki a koe, na kia rite ou mea mo tou tutaki ki tou Atua, e Iharaira.

Therefore thus will I do unto you, O Israel: and because I will do this unto you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.

13 No te mea, na, ko te kaiwhakaahua o nga maunga, e hanga nei i te hau, e whakaatu nei ki te tangata i tana i whakaaro ai, e mea nei i te ata kia pouri, a e haere ana i runga i nga wahi tiketike o te whenua; ko Ihowa, ko te Atua o nga mano tona in goa.

For, lo, he that forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares unto man what is his thought, that makes the morning darkness, and treads upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.
