Amoho 9
1 I kite ahau i te Ariki e tu ana i te taha o te aata. Na ka mea ia, Taia nga puku whakapaipai, kia ngarue ai nga paepae: akina kia pakaru rikiriki ki runga ki te mahunga o ratou katoa; a ka tukitukia e ahau nga whakamutunga o ratou ki te hoari: e kore rawa tetahi kotahi o ratou e rere, e kore hoki tetahi kotahi mawhiti.
I sawe the Lord standing vpon the altar, and he sayde, Smite the lintel of the doore, that the postes may shake: and cut them in pieces, euen the heads of them all, and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them, shall not flee away: and he that escapeth of them, shall not be deliuered.
2 Ahakoa keri noa ratou, a tae noa ki te reinga, ka tikina atu ratou e toku ringa i reira; ahakoa kake ki te rangi, ka riro iho ano i ahau i reira. (Sheol h7585)
Though they digge into the hell, thence shall mine hande take them: though they clime vp to heauen, thence will I bring them downe. (Sheol h7585)
3 Ahakoa piri ratou ki te tihi o Karamere, ka rapua e ahau, ka tangohia mai i reira; ahakoa i huna atu ratou, kei kitea e ahau, ki te takere o te moana, ka whakahaua e ahau te nakahi i reira, a ka ngau ia i a ratou.
And though they hide them selues in the toppe of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence: and though they be hid from my sight in the bottome of the sea, thence will I commande the serpent, and he shall bite them.
4 Ahakoa haere ratou he parau i te aroaro o o ratou hoariri, ka whakahaua e ahau te hoari i reira hei tukituki i a ratou: a ka u atu oku kanohi ki a ratou mo te kino, kahore hoki mo te pai.
And though they goe into captiuitie before their enemies, thence wil I commande the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes vpon them for euill, and not for good.
5 Ko te Ariki hoki, ko Ihowa o nga mano, ko ia te pa ana ki te whenua, rewa tonu iho, tangi ana nga tangata katoa o reira: a ka pari katoa ake ano ko te awa; ka hoki iho ano, ka pera me te awa o Ihipa.
And the Lord God of hosts shall touch the land, and it shall melt away, and al that dwel therein shall mourne, and it shall rise vp wholy like a flood, and shall bee drowned as by the flood of Egypt.
6 Ko ia te hanga nei i ana ruma ki runga ki te rangi, tu ana i a ia tana rua ki te whenua; ko ia te karanga nei ki nga wai o te moana, a ringihia ana e ia ki runga ki te mata o te whenua: ko Ihowa tona ingoa.
He buildeth his spheres in the heauen, and hath laide the foundation of his globe of elements in the earth: hee calleth the waters of the sea, and powreth them out vpon the open earth: the Lord is his Name.
7 He teka ianei, ki taku, he rite koutou ki nga tama a nga Etiopiana, e nga tama a Iharaira? e ai ta Ihowa. He teka ianei naku a Iharaira i kawe mai i te whenua o Ihipa? nga Pirihitini i Kapatoro? me nga Hiriani i Kiri?
Are ye not as the Ethiopians vnto mee, O children of Israel, sayeth the Lord? haue not I brought vp Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistims from Caphtor, and Aram from Kir?
8 Nana, kei runga nga kanohi o te Ariki, o Ihowa, i te kingitanga hara, a ka poto atu i ahau i runga i te mata o te whenua; e kore ia e poto rawa i ahau te whare o Hakopa, e ai ta Ihowa.
Beholde, the eyes of the Lord God are vpon the sinfull kingdome, and I will destroy it cleane out of the earth. Neuerthelesse I will not vtterly destroy the house of Iaakob, saith the Lord.
9 No te mea, tenei ahau te whakahau nei, a ka tataria e ahau te whare o Iharaira ki roto ki nga iwi katoa, ka peratia me te witi e tataria ana ki te tatari, e kore ano tetahi pata ririki e taka ki te whenua.
For loe, I will command and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corne is sifted in a sieue: yet shall not the least stone fall vpon the earth.
10 Ka mate i te hoari te hunga hara katoa o taku iwi, ena e ki na, E kore tatou e mau, e kore ano e haukotia e te kino.
But all the sinners of my people shall dye by the sword, which say, The euill shall not come, nor hasten for vs.
11 I taua ra ka ara i ahau te tapenakara o Rawiri kua hinga nei, ka tutakina ano e ahau ona wahi pakaru; ka ara ano i ahau ona wahi i whakahoroa, ki hanga ano e ahau kia rite ki nga ra o mua:
In that day will I raise vp the tabernacle of Dauid, that is fallen downe, and close vp the breaches therof, and I will rayse vp his ruines, and I will builde it, as in the dayes of olde,
12 Kia riro ai i a ratou te toenga o Eroma, o nga iwi katoa ano kua oti toku ingoa te whakahua mo ratou, e ai ta Ihowa, nana nei tenei mahi.
That they may possesse the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, because my Name is called vpon them, sayeth the Lord, that doeth this.
13 Nana, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta Ihowa, e mau ai te kaikokoti i te kaiparau, e mau ai hoki te kaiwhakato purapura i te kaitakahi karepe; ka maturuturu ano te waina hou o nga maunga, a ka rewa nga pukepuke katoa.
Behold, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall touche the mower, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seede: and the mountaines shall drop sweete wine, and all the hilles shall melt.
14 Ka whakahokia mai ano e ahau taku iwi, a Iharaira, i te whakarau, a ka hanga e ratou nga pa kua ururuatia, nohoia iho; ka whakato mara waina ano ratou, ka inu i te waina o aua mara: ka mahi kari ano ratou, a ka kai i nga hua o reira.
And I will bring againe the captiuitie of my people of Israel: and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabite the, and they shall plant vineyardes, and drinke the wine thereof: they shall also make gardens, and eate the fruites of them.
15 Ka whakatokia ano ratou e ahau ki to ratou oneone; e kore ano ratou e unuhia atu i muri ake nei, i to ratou oneone i hoatu e ahau ki a ratou, e ai ta Ihowa, ta tou Atua.
And I wil plant them vpon their land, and they shall no more bee pulled vp againe out of their lande, which I haue giuen them, sayeth the Lord thy God.
