Amosa 9

1 I KE aku la au ia Iehova e ku ana maluna o ke kuahu: a i mai la ia, E hahau i ke poo o ke kia, i haalulu ai na kumu kia; A e oki ia lakou ma ke poo, ia lakou a pau; A e pepehi aku au i ke koena o lakou me ka pahikaua: O ka mea o lakou e holo ana, aole ia e malu; A o ka mea e pakele ana, aole e pakele io.

I saw the Lord standing on the altar: and he said, Strike the mercy-seat, and the porch shall be shaken: and cut through into the heads of all; and I will kill the remnant of them with the sword: no one of them fleeing shall escape, and no one of them, striving to save himself shall be delivered.

2 Ina e eli iho lakou i ka po, e lawe ko'u lima ia lakou mailaila mai; Ina e pii lakou i ka lani, e lawe au ia lakou mailaila mai; (Sheol h7585)

Though they hid themselves in hell, thence shall my hand drag them forth; and though they go up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

3 A ina e pee lakou maluna o ka piko o Karemela, e imi aku au, a e lawe ia lakou mailaila mai; A ina e pee lakou mai kuu maka aku ma ka mole o ke kai, Malaila e kena aku au i ka nahesa, a e nahu aku ia ia lakou.

If they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, thence will I search [them] out and take them; and if they should go down from my presence into the depths of the sea, there will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them.

4 A ina e hele pio aku lakou imua o ko lakou poe enemi, Malaila e kena aku au i ka pahikaua, a e luku aku ia ia lakou; A e kau aku kuu mau maka maluna o lakou no ka ino, aole no ka maikai.

And if they should go into captivity before the face of their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall kill them: and I will set mine eyes against them for evil, and not for good.

5 A o Iehova, ka Haku o na kaua, oia ka mea e hoopa i ka aina, a e hehee iho no ia; A e auwe iho ka poe a pau e noho ana iloko ona: A e ea ae ia me he muliwai la a puni ona; A e halana ae e like me ka muliwai o Aigupita.

And the Lord, the Lord God Almighty, [is he] that takes hold of the land, and causes it to shake, and all that inhabit it shall mourn; and its destruction shall go up as a river, and shall descend as the river of Egypt.

6 Oia ka i hana i na papaluna iloko o ka lani, a i hookumu i kona poai maluna o ka honua; O ka mea i hoopii ae i na wai o ka moana, a ninini iho ia lakou maluna o ka ili o ka aina; O Iehova kona inoa:

[It is he] that builds his ascent up to the sky, and establishes his promise on the earth; who calls the water of the sea, and pours it out on the face of the earth; the Lord Almighty is his name.

7 E na mamo a Iseraela, aole anei oukou i like ia'u me na mamo a Kusa? wahi a Iehova. Aole anei au i lawe mai i ka Iseraela mai ka aina o Aigupita mai? A i ko Pilisetia mai Kapetora mai, a me ko Suria mai Kira mai?

Are not you to me as the sons of the Ethiopians, O children of Israel? says the Lord. Did I not bring Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of the deep?

8 Aia hoi, o na maka o Iehova ka Haku maluna o ke aupuni hewa; A e hokai aku au ia mai ka honua aku; Aka hoi, aole au e luku loa aku i ko ka hale o Iakoba, wahi a Iehova.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the kingdom of sinners, and I will cut it off from the face of the earth; only I will not utterly cut off the house of Jacob, says the Lord.

9 No ka mea, aia hoi, e kauoha aku au, a e kanana iho ai i ko ka hale o Iseraela iwaena o na lahuikanaka a pau; E like me ka hua palaoa i kananaia iloko o ke kanana, Aole e haule kekahi hua ma ka honaa.

For I [will] give commandment, and sift the house of Israel among all the Gentiles, as [corn] is sifted in a sieve, and [yet] a fragment shall not in any wise fall upon the earth.

10 E make ka poe hewa a pau o kuu poe kanaka i ka pahikaua, Ka poe e olelo ana, Aole e hiki mai ka hewa mahope, aole hoi mamua o kakou.

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, Calamities shall certainly not draw near, nor come upon us.

11 I kela la e kukulu au i ka halelewa o Davida i wawahiia, A e hoopaa i kona wahi hiolo; A e hooku hou au i kona mau mea i heleleiia, A hana aku ia e like me na la mamua;

In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and will rebuild the ruins of it, and will set up the parts thereof that have been broken down, and will build it up as in the ancient days:

12 I lilo no lakou ke koena o ka Edoma, a me na lahuikanaka a pau, Ka poe i kaheaia ka inoa o Iehova maluna o lakou, wahi a Iehova, nana keia i hana.

that the remnant of men, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name is called, may earnestly seek [me], says the Lord who does all these things.

13 Aia hoi, e hiki mai na la, wahi a Iehova, E halawai ai ka mea e mahiai ana, me ka mea e oki ana, A o ka mea e hehi i na huawaina, me ka mea e lulu i ka hua; A e hookulukulu iho na mauna i ka waina hou, A e hehee iho na puu a pau.

Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when the harvest shall overtake the vintage, and the grapes shall ripen at seed time; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall be planted.

14 A e hoihoi mai au i ka poe pio o kuu poe kanaka o ka Iseraela, A e kukulu lakou i na kulanakauhale neoneo, a noho lakou iloko; A e kanu lakou i na pawaina, a e inu lakou i ko lakou waina; A e hana lakou i na kihapai, a e ai hoi i ko lakou hua.

And I will turn the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities, and shall inhabit [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and shall drink the wine from them; and they shall form gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

15 A e kanu iho au ia lakou ma ko lakou aina iho, Aole e uhuki hou ia ae lakou mai ko lakou aina ae, Ka mea a'u i haawi aku ai ia lakou, wahi a Iehova kou Akua.

And I will plant them on their land, and they shall no more be plucked up from the land which I have given them, says the Lord God Almighty.
