Amos 5
1 Listen to this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel.
E HOOLOHE oukou i keia olelo, a'u e hapai aku nei no oukou, Oia hoi, he kanikau, e ka hale o ka Iseraela.
2 "The virgin of Israel has fallen; She shall rise no more. She is cast down on her land; there is no one to raise her up."
Ua haule, aole e ala hou ae, ke kaikamahine puupaa o ka Iseraela: Ua kulaina oia maluna o kona aina iho: Aohe mea nana ia e hoala.
3 For thus says YHWH: "The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth one hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel."
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, peneia: O ko ke kulanakauhale i hele patausani aku, e koe mai no he haneri; A o ka mea i hele pahaneri aku, e koe mai no he umi, no ka hale o ka Iseraela.
4 For thus says YHWH to the house of Israel: "Seek me, and you will live;
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia i ka hale o ka Iseraela, E imi oukou ia'u, a e ola oukou.
5 but do not seek Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and do not pass to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing.
Aka, mai imi oukou i Betela, Aole hoi e komo i Gilegala, Aole e hele aku i Beereseba; No ka mea, he oiaio, e hele pio aku ko Gilegala, A e lilo o Betela i mea ole.
6 Seek YHWH, and you will live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel.
E imi oukou ia Iehova, a e ola oukou; O lele mai ia, me he ahi la, ma ka hale o Iosepa, A e hoopau aku ia, Aohe mea nana ia e kinai ma Betela.
7 You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth:
E ka poe i hoolilo i ka olelo hoopono i mea awaawa, A hoolei i ka pono ma ka honua,
8 seek him who made Kimah and Kesil, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth, YHWH is his name,
E imi i ka mea nana i hana ia Peleiade a me Oriona, A hoolilo i ka malu o ka make i malamalama, A hoopouli i ke ao a lilo i po: Ka mea e hoopii ana i na wai o ka moana, A ninini iho ia lakou maluna o ka ili o ka honua: O Iehova kona inoa:
9 who brings sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the fortress.
O ka mea e lawe mai i ka make maluna o ka poe ikaika, A e hoohiki mai i ka luku maluna o kahi paa.
10 They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.
Ke inaina nei lakou i ka mea e ao ana ma ka pukapa, A hoowahawaha lakou i ka mea e olelo pono ana.
11 Forasmuch therefore as you trample on the poor, and take taxes from him of wheat: You have built houses of cut stone, but you will not dwell in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.
No ia mea, no ko oukou hehi ana maluna o ka ilihune, A ke lawe nei oukou i ka ai makana mai ona aku la: Ua hana oukou i na hale pohaku i kalaiia, Aka, aole oukou e noho iloko o lakou; Ua kanu oukou i na pawaina maikai, Aka, aole oukou e inu i ka waina o lakou.
12 For I know how many your offenses, and how great are your sins—you who afflict the just, who take a bribe, and who turn aside the needy in the courts.
No ka mea, ua ike au, he nui wale ko oukou lawehala ana, A me ko oukou mau hewa nui: E hoopilikia ana i ka poe hoopono, e lawe ana i ka uku kipe, A e hookahuli ana i ka pono o ka poe ilihune ma ka pukapa.
13 Therefore a prudent person keeps silent in such a time, for it is an evil time.
No ia mea, e noho malie ka mea naauao i kela manawa; No ka mea, he manawa ino ia.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so YHWH, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you say.
E imi oukou i ka maikai, aole i ka hewa, i ola oukou; A pela e mau ai o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua me oukou, e like me ka oukou i olelo ai.
15 Hate evil, love good, and establish justice in the courts. It may be that YHWH, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph."
E inaina i ka hewa, a e aloha i ka maikai, A e hookupaa oukou i ka hoopono ma ka pukapa: Malia paha e aloha mai o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, i ke koena o ka Iosepa.
16 Therefore thus says YHWH, the God of hosts: "Wailing will be in all the broad ways; and they will say in all the streets, 'Alas. Alas.' and they will call the farmer to mourning, and those who are skillful in lamentation to wailing.
No ia hoi, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, ka Haku, peneia; Ma na alanui a pau he auwe ana; A ma na wahi iwaho a pau, e olelo lakou, Auwe! auwe! A e kahea aku lakou i ka mea mahiai i ka u ana, A i ka poe ike e kanikau i ka uwe ana.
17 In all vineyards there will be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of you," says YHWH.
A ma na pawaina a pau ka uwe ana: No ka mea, e hele auanei au iwaena ou, wahi a Iehova.
18 "Woe to you who desire the day of YHWH. Why do you long for the day of YHWH? It is darkness, and not light.
Auwe ka poe iini i ka la o Iehova! No ke aha la keia ia oukou? O ka la o Iehova, he pouli ia, aole he malamalama.
19 As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; Or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
E like me ke kanaka i holo mai ke alo aku o ka liona, a halawai ka bea me ia: A i komo paha iloko o ka hale, a hilinai kona lima ma ka paia, a nahu mai ka nahesa ia ia.
20 Won't the day of YHWH be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Aole anei he pouli ka la o Iehova, me ka malamalama ole? A he pouli loa, aohe ona malamalama.
21 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can't stand your solemn assemblies.
Ke inaina nei au, ke hoowahawaha nei au i ko oukou mau ahaaina, Aole wau e oluolu i ko oukou mau halawai ana.
22 Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.
Ina e kaumaha mai oukou no'u i ka oukou mau mohai kuni, a me ka oukou mau mohai makana, aole au e oluolu ia mea: Aole hoi au e manao i ka mohai aloha o ko oukou mau mea momona.
23 Take away from me the noise of your songs. I will not listen to the music of your harps.
E lawe ae oe mai o'u aku nei i ke oli ana o ka oukou mau mele; Aole au e hoolohe i ke kani ana o ko oukou mau viola.
24 But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
Aka, e hookaheia ka hoopono ana e like me ka wai, A o ka pono e like me ka waikahe ikaika.
25 "Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, house of Israel?
Ua kaumaha mai anei oukou na'u i na mohai, a me na makana ma ka waonahele i na makahiki he kanaha, e ka hale o ka Iseraela?
26 You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Rephan, the images that you made to worship them.
Ua hali oukou i ka halelewa o ko oukou Moloka, A me ka hale o ko oukou mau kii, Ka hoku o ko oukou akua, ka mea a oukou i hana'i no oukou.
27 Therefore I will exile you beyond Babylon," says YHWH, whose name is the God of hosts.
Nolaila, e lawe pio aku au ia oukou ma o aku o Damaseko, wahi a Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, kona inoa.
