Amos 6

1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion and trust in the moutaine of Samaria, which were famous at the beginning of the nations: and the house of Israel came to them.

Malaʻia kiate kinautolu ʻoku fakafiemālie kovi ʻi Saione, pea ʻoku falala ki he moʻunga ʻo Samēlia, ʻoku ui ko e tuʻu ki muʻa ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻaia naʻe haʻu ki ai ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli!

2 Goe you vnto Calneh, and see: and from thence goe you to Hamath the great: then goe downe to Gath of the Philistims: be they better then these kingdomes? or the border of their land greater then your border,

Laka koe ki Kaline, pea vakai: pea ʻalu mei ai ki Hamati lahi: pea toki ʻalu hifo ki Kati ʻoe kakai Filisitia: ʻoku nau lelei lahi koā ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ni? Pe ʻoku lahi hake honau mata fonua, ʻi homou mata fonua?

3 Ye that put farre away the euill day, and approch to the seate of iniquitie?

Ko kimoutolu ʻoku tuku mamaʻo atu ʻae ʻaho kovi, pea ʻoku pule ke ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae nofoʻa ʻoe fakamālohi;

4 They lie vpon beddes of yuorie, and stretch themselues vpon their beddes, and eate the lambes of the flocke, and the calues out of the stall.

Pea ʻoku tokoto ʻi he ngaahi mohenga lei, pea ʻoku fakatokoto ʻekinautolu ʻi he ngaahi tokotoʻanga, pea ʻoku kai ʻae fanga lami mei he fanga manu, pea mo e ʻuhiki pulu mei he fale manu;

5 They sing to the sounde of the viole: they inuent to themselues instruments of musike like Dauid.

Pea ʻoku hivehiva ki he leʻo ʻoe meʻa faiva, pea ʻoku filioʻi ke ngaohi maʻanautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa faiva ke hiva ʻaki, hangē ko Tevita;

6 They drinke wine in bowles, and anoynt themselues with the chiefe ointments, but no man is sory for the affliction of Ioseph.

Pea ʻoku inu uaine mei he ngaahi ipu, pea ʻoku tākai ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae lolo mahuʻinga: ka ʻoku ʻikai te nau mamahi ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻa Siosefa.

7 Therefore nowe shall they go captiue with the first that go captiue, and the sorow of them that stretched themselues, is at hand.

Ko ia te nau ʻalu ke pōpula mo e kakai ʻoku tomuʻa ʻalu ki he pōpula, pea ko e kātoanga kai ʻanautolu naʻe fakatokoto ʻe fetuku.

8 The Lord God hath sworne by himselfe, saith the Lord God of hostes, I abhorre the excellencie of Iaakob, and hate his palaces: therefore wil I deliuer vp the citie with all that is therein.

“Kuo fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻi heʻene ʻafio,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki he lelei ʻo Sēkope, pea fākaliliʻa ki hono ngaahi fale fakaʻeiki; ko ia te u tukuange ʻae kolo mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai.

9 And if there remaine ten men in one house, they shall die.

Pea ʻe pehē, ka ai ha kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu kuo tuku ʻi he fale ʻe taha, te nau mate.

10 And his vncle shall take him vp and burne him to cary out the bones out of the house, and shall say vnto him, that is by ye sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? And he shall say, None. Then shall he say, Holde thy tongue: for we may not remember the Name of the Lord.

“ʻE toʻo ʻae tangata ʻe heʻene tuʻasina, pea mo ia ne tutu ia, ke ʻomi ʻae ngaahi hui mei he fale, pea te ne pehē kiate ia ʻoku ʻi he veʻe fale, ‘ʻOku ai ha taha mo koe?’ Pea te ne pehē, ‘ʻIkai.’ Pea te ne toki pehē, ‘ʻOua te ke lea: he ʻoku tapu ke takua ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova.’

11 For behold, the Lord commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the litle house with clefts.

“Koeʻuhi, vakai, ʻoku fekau ʻe Sihova, pea te ne taaʻi ʻae fale lahi ke avaava, pea mo e fale siʻi ke mafahifahi.

12 Shal horses runne vpon the rocke? or wil one plowe there with oxen? for yee haue turned iudgement into gall, and the fruite of righteousnes into wormewood.

‌ʻE lele koā ʻae fanga hoosi ʻi he funga maka? ʻE ai ha taha te ne toho huo ai ʻaki ʻae fanga pulu? He kuo mou liliu ʻae fakamaau ko e ʻahu, pea ko e fua ʻoe angatonu ko e hemiloki:

13 Ye reioyce in a thing of nought: yee say, Haue not wee gotten vs hornes by our owne strength?

‌ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku fiefia ʻi he meʻa noa pe, pea lea pehē, ‘ʻIkai kuo tau maʻu ʻae nifo, ʻi hotau mālohi pe?’”

14 But behold, I wil raise vp against you a nation, O house of Israel, sayeth the Lord God of hostes: and they shall afflict you, from the entring in of Hamath vnto the riuer of the wildernes.

Ka ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Vakai; te u fokotuʻu kiate kimoutolu ha puleʻanga, ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli; pea te nau fakamamahi ʻakimoutolu mei he hūʻanga ki Hamati ʻo aʻu ki he vaitafe ʻoe toafa.”
