Amos 1
1 The words of Amos, who was among herdsmen of Thecua: which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Ozias king of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel two years before the earthquake.
Ko e ngaahi lea ʻa ʻAmosi, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he kau tauhimanu ʻo Tikoa, ko e meʻa naʻa ne mamata ai ʻoku kau ki ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻUsaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi hono ua taʻu naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻi he mofuike.
2 And he said: The Lord will roar from Sion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem: and the beautiful places of the shepherds have mourned, and the top of Carmel is withered.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻE ʻuʻulu ʻa Sihova mei Saione, pea ʻe fakaongo hono leʻo mei Selūsalema; pea ko e ngaahi fale ʻoe kau tauhimanu ʻe tangi, pea ʻe mōmoa ʻae tumutumu ʻo Kameli.”
3 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four I will not convert it: because they have thrashed Galaad with iron wains.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻa Tamasikusi, pea mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe ʻae tautea mei ai; he kuo nau haha ʻa Kiliati ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa haha ukamea:
4 And I will send a fire into the house of Azael, and it shall devour the houses of Benadad.
Pea te u fekau ʻae afi ki he fale ʻo Hasaeli, ʻaia te ne kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo Penihatati.
5 And I will break the bar of Damascus: and I will cut off the inhabitants from the plain of the idol, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of pleasure: and the people of Syria shall be carried away to Cyrene, saith the Lord.
Te u fesiʻi foki ʻae vaʻa ʻo Tamasikusi, pea te u motuhi ʻae kakai mei he toafa ko ʻAveni, pea mo ia ʻoku maʻu ʻae tokotoko mei he fale ʻo ʻIteni: pea ʻe ʻalu pōpula ʻae kakai Silia ki Kili,” he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
6 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four I will not convert it: because they have carried away a perfect captivity to shut them up in Edom.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻa Kesa, pea mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe [ʻae tautea ]mei ai; he naʻa nau ʻave pōpula ʻae kau pōpula kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke nau tuku ʻakinautolu ki ʻItomi:
7 And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the houses thereof.
Ka te u fekau ʻae afi ki he ʻā ʻo Kesa, ʻaia te ne kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻi ai:
8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Azotus, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ascalon: and I will turn my hand against Accaron, and the rest of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord God.
Pea te u motuhi ʻae kakai mei ʻAsitoti, pea mo ia ʻoku maʻu ʻae tokotoko mei ʻAsikeloni, pea te u hiki hoku nima ki ʻEkiloni: pea ko e toenga ʻoe kau Filisitia ʻe ʻauha,” he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
9 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four I will not convert it: because they have shut up an entire captivity in Edom, and have not remembered the covenant of brethren.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻa Taia, pea mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe [hono tautea ]ʻo ia; he naʻa nau tuku ʻae kau pōpula kotoa pē ki ʻItomi, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau manatuʻi ʻae fuakava fakakāinga:
10 And I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the houses thereof.
Ka te u fekau ʻae afi ki he ʻā ʻo Taia, ʻaia te ne kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻi ai.”
11 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath pursued his brother with the sword, and hath cast off all pity, and hath carried on his fury, and hath kept his wrath to the end.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻa ʻItomi, pea mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe [hono tautea ]ʻo ia; he naʻa ne tuli hono tokoua ʻaki ʻae heletā, pea naʻe liʻaki ʻae manavaʻofa, pea naʻe haeʻi ʻe ia ʻi heʻene ʻita maʻuaipē, pea naʻa ne fakatolonga ʻene lili ʻo taʻengata:
12 I will send a fire into Theman: and it shall devour the houses of Bosra.
Ka te u fekau ʻae afi ki Timani, ʻaia ʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo Posila.”
13 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath ripped up the women with child of Galaad to enlarge his border.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe [honau tautea]; he naʻa nau haeʻi ʻae kau fefine feitama ʻi Kiliati, koeʻuhi ke nau totolo mai honau mata fonua:
14 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabba: and it shall devour the houses thereof with shouting in the day of battle, and with a whirlwind in the day of trouble.
Ka te u tutu ʻae afi ʻi he ʻā ʻo Lapa, pea te ne kai ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo ia, ʻi he kaila ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe tau, mo e afā ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻahiohio:
15 And Melchom shall go into captivity, both he, and his princes together, saith the Lord.
Pea ʻe ʻalu honau tuʻi ki he pōpula, ʻaia mo hono ngaahi houʻeiki fakataha,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
