< Amos 6 >

1 Woe to you that are wealthy in Sion, and to you that have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: ye great men, heads of the people, that go in with state into the house of Israel.
A UWE ka poe palaka ma Ziona, A hilinai hoi ma ka mauna o Samaria: Ka poe i oleloia, o na pookela o na lahuikanaka, Io lakou la i hele mai ka Iseraela!
2 Pass ye over to Chalane, and see, and go from thence into Emath the great: and go down into Geth of the Philistines, and to all the best kingdoms of these: if their border be larger than your border.
E hele aku oukou i Kalene, a e nana; A mai laila aku e hele ai oukou i Hamata nui; Alaila, e iho aku i Gata o ko Pilisetia: Ua oi anei ko lakou maikai mamua o ko keia mau aupuni? Ua oi anei ka palahalaha o ko lakou mokuna mamua o ko oukou mokuna?
3 You that are separated unto the evil day: and that approach to the throne of iniquity;
Auwe ka poe i hooloihi aku i ka la ino, A hookokoke i ka noho hookaumaha wale;
4 You that sleep upon beds of ivory, and are wanton on your couches: that eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the herd;
Ka poe e moe ana maluna o na wahi moe niho elepani, A moe hoolei loa maluna o ko lakou wahi moe, A ai iho i na keikihipa o ka poe hipa, A me na keiki bipi i kupeleia;
5 You that sing to the sound of the psaltery: they have thought themselves to have instruments of music like David;
Ka poe mele mamuli o ka viola, A hana lakou no lakou iho i na mea kani e like me Davida;
6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best ointments: and they are not concerned for the affliction of Joseph.
Ka poe inu waina maloko o na kiaha, A kahinu ia lakou iho i ka hinu maikai: Aka, aole i kaumaha lakou no ka eha ana o ka Iosepa!
7 Wherefore now they shall go captive at the head of them that go into captivity: and the faction of the luxurious ones shall be taken away.
No ia mea, ano e hele pio aku ai lakou iwaena o ka poe pio mua, A e laweia'ku ka olioli o ka poe moe hoolei loa.
8 The Lord God hath sworn by his own soul, saith the Lord the God of hosts: I detest the pride of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will deliver up the city with the inhabitants thereof.
Ua hoohiki o Iehova ka Haku, ma kona ola, wahi a Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, Ke hoopailua nei au i ka haaheo o Iakoba, A ke hoowahawaha nei hoi i kona mau halealii; Nolaila, e hoolilo aku ai au i ke kulanakauhale, a me kona mea i piha ai.
9 And if there remain ten men in one house, they also shall die.
A ina e waihoia na kanaka he umi ma ka hale hookahi, e make no lakou.
10 And a man’s kinsman shall take him up, and shall burn him, that he may carry the bones out of the house; and he shall say to him that is in the inner rooms of the house: Is there yet any with thee? And he shall answer: There is an end. And he shall any to him: Hold thy peace, and mention not the name of the Lord.
A o ka hoahanau o kona makuakane e lawe aku ia ia, A o ka mea i puhi ia ia, e lawe aku iwaho i na iwi mailoko mai o ka hale, A e olelo aku i ka mea maloko loa o ka hale, Aole anei he mea i koe me oe? e i mai kela, Aole. Alaila, e i aku ia, Hamau; no ka mea, aole e olelo ma ka inoa o Iehova.
11 For behold the Lord hath commanded, and he will strike the greater house with breaches, and the lesser house with clefts.
No ka mea, aia hoi, ke kauoha mai nei o Iehova, A e hahau aku ia i ka hale nui me ka nahaha, A i ka hale uuku me ka wawahi.
12 Can horses run upon the rocks, or can any one plough with buffles? for you have turned judgment into bitterness, and the fruit of justice into wormwood.
E holo anei na lio maluna o na pohaku? E mahi oopalau ia anei malaila me na bipi kauo? No ka mea, ua hoolilo oukou i ka hoopono ana i laau make, A i ka hua o ka pono, i laau awaawa:
13 You that rejoice in a thing of nought: you that say: Have we not taken unto us horns by our own strength?
E oukou, ka poe e olioli ana i ka mea ole, Ka poe e olelo, Aole anei kakou i lawe no kakou i na pepeiaohao ma ko kakou ikaika?
14 But behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel, saith the Lord the God of hosts; and they shall destroy you from the entrance of Emath, even to the torrent of the desert.
Aka, aia hoi, e hoala ku e auanei au i lahuikanaka ia oukou, e ko ka hale o Iseraela, wahi a Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua; A e hookaumaha lakou ia oukou mai ke komo ana o Hamata a hiki i ke kahawai o ka papu.
