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.
I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said, “Strike the tops of the pillars so that the foundations will shake. Break them in pieces on all of their heads, and I will kill the last of them with the sword. Not one of them will get away, not one of them will escape.
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 h7585)
Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them. Though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down. (Sheol h7585)
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:
Though they hide on the top of Carmel, there I will search and take them. Though they are hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there will I give orders to the serpent, and it will bite them.
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.”
Though they go into captivity, driven by their enemies before them, there will I give orders to the sword, and it will kill them. I will keep my eyes on them for harm and not for good.”
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.
The Lord Yahweh of hosts touches the land and it melts; all who live in it mourn; all of it will rise up like the River, and sink again like the river of Egypt.
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.
It is he who builds his steps in the heavens, and has established his vault over the earth. He calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahweh is his name.
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?
“Are you not like the people of Cush to me, people of Israel? —this is Yahweh's declaration. Did I not bring up Israel out of the land of Egypt, the Philistines from Crete, and the Arameans from Kir?
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.
Look, the eyes of the Lord Yahweh are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth, except that I will not totally destroy the house of Jacob —this is Yahweh's declaration.
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.
Look, I will give a command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations, as one shakes grain in a sieve, so that not the smallest stone will fall to the ground.
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.’
All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, those who say, 'Disaster will not overtake or meet us.'
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:
In that day I will raise up the tent of David that has fallen, and close up its breaches. I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old,
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:
That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations that are called by my name —this is Yahweh's declaration—he does this.
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:
Look, the days will come—this is Yahweh's declaration— when the plowman will overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes will overtake him who plants seed. The mountains will drip sweet wine, and all the hills will flow with it.
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.
I will bring back from captivity my people Israel. They will build the ruined cities and inhabit them, they will plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
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.
I will plant them upon their land, and they will never again be uprooted from the land that I have given them,” says Yahweh your God.
