< ʻAmosi 9 >
1 Naʻa ku mamata kia Sihova naʻe ʻafio mei he feilaulauʻanga: pea naʻa ne pehē, “Taaʻi ʻae ʻakau fakalava ʻoe matapā, kae lulululu hono pou; pea taaʻi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi honau ʻulu; pea te u tāmateʻi ʻae tomui ʻokinautolu ʻaki ʻae heletā: ko ia ʻoku hola ʻe ʻikai te ne hao, pea ko ia ʻoku hao ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui ia.
2 Neongo ʻoku nau keli hifo ki heli, ʻe maʻu ʻakinautolu mei ai ʻe hoku nima; neongo ʻoku nau kaka hake ki he langi, te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki lalo: (Sheol )
3 Neongo ʻoku nau fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he funga ʻo Kameli, te u kumi pea ʻave ʻakinautolu mei ai; pea neongo ʻoku nau fufū mei hoku ʻao ʻi he kilisi tahi, te u fekau mei ai ʻae ngata, pea te ne ʻuusi ʻakinautolu:
4 Pea neongo ʻoku nau ʻalu pōpula ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili, te u fekau mei ai ʻae heletā, pea te ne tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu: pea te u hanga hoku fofonga kiate kinautolu ke kovi, pea ʻikai ke lelei.”
5 Pea ko e ʻEiki, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko ia ia ʻoku ala ki he fonua, pea ʻe vai ia, pea ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ai te nau tangi; pea ʻe tupu ia hangē ha lōmaki: pea ʻe melemo hifo, hangē ko e malofa ʻi ʻIsipite.
6 Ko ia ia ʻoku langa hono ngaahi fale fata ʻi he langi, pea kuo tānaki ʻene kautau ʻi māmani; ʻaia ʻoku ne ui ʻae ngaahi vai ʻoe tahi, pea ne huaʻi ia ʻi he funga ʻoe fonua: ko Sihova hono huafa.
7 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻIkai ʻoku mou hangē ko e fānau ʻae kakai ʻItiopea kiate au, ʻE fānau ʻa ʻIsileli? ʻIkai naʻaku ʻomi ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite? Pea mo e Filisitia mei Kafitoli, pea mo e kau Silia mei Kili?
8 Vakai, ko e fofonga ʻoe ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻi he puleʻanga angahala, pea te u fakaʻauha ia mei he funga fonua; ka ʻe ʻikai ʻauha ʻaupito ʻae fale ʻo Sēkope, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
9 Koeʻuhi, vakai, te u fakatanga ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, hangē ʻoku fakatanga ʻae koane ʻi he meʻa fakatanga, ka ʻe ʻikai tō ha foʻi tenga ki he kelekele.
10 ʻE mate ʻi he heletā ʻae kau angahala kotoa pē ʻa hoku kakai, ʻoku lea pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai moʻua pe taʻofi ʻakitautolu ʻe he kovi.’
11 ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te u toe langa ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻo Tevita ʻaia kuo hinga, pea tāpuni ʻae ngaahi ava ʻo ia; pea te u toe fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo holoki, pea te u langaʻi ia ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa:
12 Koeʻuhi ke nau maʻu ʻae toenga ʻo ʻItomi, pea mo e hiteni kotoa pē, ʻoku ui ʻaki hoku huafa:” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku fai eni:
13 “Vakai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOku hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻe maʻu atu ʻe he tangata tauhi huo toho ʻae tangata tuʻusi, pea ko ia ʻoku malaki ʻae kālepi, ʻaia ʻoku tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga; pea ʻe toʻiʻi ʻae uaine melie ʻe he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻe vai ʻae ngaahi tafungofunga kotoa pē:
14 Pea te u toe ʻomi ʻae pōpula ʻo hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli, pea te nau toe langa ʻae kolo naʻe lala, pea nofo ai; pea te nau tō ngoue vaine, pea inu ʻae uaine ʻo ia; te nau ngoue foki, pea kai hono fua.
15 Pea te u tō ʻakinautolu ʻi honau fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai toe taʻaki ʻakinautolu mei he fonua, ʻaia kuo u foaki kiate kinautolu,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
