Amos 3

1 Hear ye this word, which Yahweh hath spoken, concerning you, ye sons of Israel, —concerning the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt saying: —

E HOOLOHE i keia olelo a Iehova i olelo mai ai no oukou, e na mamo a Iseraela, No ka ohana a pau, a'u i lawe mai ai mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, i mai la,

2 Only you, have I acknowledged, of all the families of the ground, For this cause, will I visit upon you all your iniquities.

O oukou wale no ka'u i ike ai, mamua o na ohana a pau o ka honua: No ia mea, e hoopai aku ai au ia oukou no ko oukou hewa a pau.

3 Can two walk together, —except they meet?

E hiki anei i na mea elua ke hele pu, ke kuikahi pu ole laua?

4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when, prey, he hath none? Will a young lion utter his voice out of his den, when he hath made no capture?

E uwo anei ka liona ma ka ululaau ke loaa ole ia ia ke pio? E hoopuka anei ka liona opio i kona leo mai kona lua aku, ke loaa ole ia ia kekahi mea?

5 Will a bird fall upon a net to the earth, when there is no, snare, for it? Will a net rise from the ground, when it hath, captured nothing?

E haule anei ka manu iloko o ka pahele ma ka honua ke ole ka pahele nona? E lawe anei kekahi i ka pahele mai ka honua ae ke loaa ole ia ia kekahi mea iki?

6 Or a horn be blown in a city, and, a people, not tremble? Or calamity happen in a city, and, Yahweh, not have wrought with effect?

E puhiia anei ka pu ma ke kulanakauhale, a pihoihoi ole na kanaka? He ino anei maloko o ke kulanakauhale, aole na Iehova ia i hana?

7 Surely My Lord Yahweh, will do, nothing, —except he have disclosed his secret unto his servants, the prophets!

No ka mea, aole e hana mai o Iehova ka Haku i kekahi mea, Ke hoike ole mai ia i kona mea huna i kana mau kauwa, i na kaula.

8 A lion, hath roared, Who will not fear? My Lord Yahweh, hath spoken, Who can forbear to prophesy?

Ua uwo mai ka liona, owai la ka mea makau ole? Ua olelo mai o Iehova ka Haku, owai la ka mea wanana ole?

9 Announce it over the palaces in Ashdod, and over the palaces in the land of Egypt, —and say ye—Gather yourselves together upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold ye—the great disorders in the midst thereof, and the oppressed within her.

E hai aku ma na halealii i Asedoda, A ma na halealii i ka aina o Aigupita, a e i aku, E hoakoakoaia oukou maluna o na mauna o Samaria, A e nana i ka haunaele nui iwaenakonu ona, A i na hookaumaha ana iloko ona.

10 Therefore do they not know how to do right, Declareth Yahweh, who are treasuring up violence and spoil in their palaces.

Aole lakou e ike e hana i ka pono, wahi a Iehova, Hoiliili lakou i ka waiwai alunu, A i ka mea kaili wale, iloko o ko lakou mau halealii.

11 Therefore—Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, An adversary! Yea round about the land, —and he who shall bring down, from thee, thy strength, And spoiled shall be thy palaces.

No ia mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, peneia; E hele mai auanei ka enemi, a puni ka aina; A e lawe aku ia i kou ikaika mai ou aku la, A e haoia kou mau halealii.

12 Thus, saith Yahweh, Just as a shepherd rescueth, out of the mouth of the lion, a couple of shankbones, or the tip of an ear, so, shall be rescued the sons of Israel, who are tarrying in Samaria, in the corner of the divan, and on the damask of the luxurious couch.

Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, peneia; E like me ke kahuhipa i hoopakele mailoko mai o ka waha o ka liona, i na wawae elua a me kekahi apana o ka pepeiao; Pela e hoopakeleia na mamo a Iseraela, ka poe e noho ana ma Samaria ma ke kihi o kahi moe, a ma Damaseko ma kahi hikiee.

13 Hear ye and bear witness, throughout the house of Jacob, —Commandeth My Lord, Yahweh, God of hosts:

E hoolohe oukou, a e hoike aku i ko ka hale o Iakoba, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, ke Akua o na kaua;

14 That, in the day I visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, then will I punish, concerning the altars of Bethel, So shall the horns of the altar, be broken off, and they shall fall to the ground;

A i ka la a'u e hoopai aku ai i ka hewa o ka Iseraela iluna ona, A e hoopai hoi au i na kuahu o Betela: A e okiia na pepeiaohao o ke kuahu, a haule iho la ia ilalo i ka honua.

15 And I will smite the winter house along with the summer house, —and the houses of ivory, shall be destroyed! and the great houses, shall disappear, Declareth Yahweh.

A e wahi aku au i ka hale hooilo me ka hale kau. A e wawahiia na hale niho elepani, A hoopauia hoi na hale nui, wahi a Iehova.
