Amos 5
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Hear ye this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel:
1E HOOLOHE oukou i keia olelo, a'u e hapai aku nei no oukou, Oia hoi, he kanikau, e ka hale o ka Iseraela.
2The virgin of Israel is fallen, she shall no more rise; she is cast down upon her land, there is none to raise her up.
2Ua haule, aole e ala hou ae, ke kaikamahine puupaa o ka Iseraela: Ua kulaina oia maluna o kona aina iho: Aohe mea nana ia e hoala.
3For thus saith the Lord GOD: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left, of the house of Israel.
3No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, peneia: O ko ke kulanakauhale i hele patausani aku, e koe mai no he haneri; A o ka mea i hele pahaneri aku, e koe mai no he umi, no ka hale o ka Iseraela.
4For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel: Seek ye Me, and live;
4No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia i ka hale o ka Iseraela, E imi oukou ia'u, a e ola oukou.
5But seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought.
5Aka, mai imi oukou i Betela, Aole hoi e komo i Gilegala, Aole e hele aku i Beereseba; No ka mea, he oiaio, e hele pio aku ko Gilegala, A e lilo o Betela i mea ole.
6Seek the LORD, and live — lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be none to quench it in Bethel —
6E imi oukou ia Iehova, a e ola oukou; O lele mai ia, me he ahi la, ma ka hale o Iosepa, A e hoopau aku ia, Aohe mea nana ia e kinai ma Betela.
7Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and cast righteousness to the ground;
7E ka poe i hoolilo i ka olelo hoopono i mea awaawa, A hoolei i ka pono ma ka honua,
8Him that maketh the Pleiades and Orion, and bringeth on the shadow of death in the morning, and darkeneth the day into night; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth; the LORD is His name;
8E imi i ka mea nana i hana ia Peleiade a me Oriona, A hoolilo i ka malu o ka make i malamalama, A hoopouli i ke ao a lilo i po: Ka mea e hoopii ana i na wai o ka moana, A ninini iho ia lakou maluna o ka ili o ka honua: O Iehova kona inoa:
9That causeth destruction to flash upon the strong, so that destruction cometh upon the fortress.
9O ka mea e lawe mai i ka make maluna o ka poe ikaika, A e hoohiki mai i ka luku maluna o kahi paa.
10They hate him that reproveth in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
10Ke inaina nei lakou i ka mea e ao ana ma ka pukapa, A hoowahawaha lakou i ka mea e olelo pono ana.
11Therefore, because ye trample upon the poor, and take from him exactions of wheat; ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them, ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine thereof.
11No ia mea, no ko oukou hehi ana maluna o ka ilihune, A ke lawe nei oukou i ka ai makana mai ona aku la: Ua hana oukou i na hale pohaku i kalaiia, Aka, aole oukou e noho iloko o lakou; Ua kanu oukou i na pawaina maikai, Aka, aole oukou e inu i ka waina o lakou.
12For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins; ye that afflict the just, that take a ransom, and that turn aside the needy in the gate.
12No ka mea, ua ike au, he nui wale ko oukou lawehala ana, A me ko oukou mau hewa nui: E hoopilikia ana i ka poe hoopono, e lawe ana i ka uku kipe, A e hookahuli ana i ka pono o ka poe ilihune ma ka pukapa.
13Therefore the prudent doth keep silence in such a time; for it is an evil time.
13No ia mea, e noho malie ka mea naauao i kela manawa; No ka mea, he manawa ino ia.
14Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so the LORD, the God of hosts, will be with you, as ye say.
14E imi oukou i ka maikai, aole i ka hewa, i ola oukou; A pela e mau ai o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua me oukou, e like me ka oukou i olelo ai.
15Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate; it may be that the LORD, the God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
15E inaina i ka hewa, a e aloha i ka maikai, A e hookupaa oukou i ka hoopono ma ka pukapa: Malia paha e aloha mai o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, i ke koena o ka Iosepa.
16Therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord: Lamentation shall be in all the broad places, and they shall say in all the streets: 'Alas! alas!' and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and proclaim lamentation to such as are skilful of wailing.
16No ia hoi, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, ka Haku, peneia; Ma na alanui a pau he auwe ana; A ma na wahi iwaho a pau, e olelo lakou, Auwe! auwe! A e kahea aku lakou i ka mea mahiai i ka u ana, A i ka poe ike e kanikau i ka uwe ana.
17And in all vineyards shall be lamentation; for I will pass through the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
17A ma na pawaina a pau ka uwe ana: No ka mea, e hele auanei au iwaena ou, wahi a Iehova.
18Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! Wherefore would ye have the day of the LORD? It is darkness, and not light.
18Auwe ka poe iini i ka la o Iehova! No ke aha la keia ia oukou? O ka la o Iehova, he pouli ia, aole he malamalama.
19As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; and went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
19E like me ke kanaka i holo mai ke alo aku o ka liona, a halawai ka bea me ia: A i komo paha iloko o ka hale, a hilinai kona lima ma ka paia, a nahu mai ka nahesa ia ia.
20Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
20Aole anei he pouli ka la o Iehova, me ka malamalama ole? A he pouli loa, aohe ona malamalama.
21I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
21Ke inaina nei au, ke hoowahawaha nei au i ko oukou mau ahaaina, Aole wau e oluolu i ko oukou mau halawai ana.
22Yea, though ye offer me burnt-offerings and your meal-offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.
22Ina e kaumaha mai oukou no'u i ka oukou mau mohai kuni, a me ka oukou mau mohai makana, aole au e oluolu ia mea: Aole hoi au e manao i ka mohai aloha o ko oukou mau mea momona.
23Take thou away from Me the noise of thy songs; and let Me not hear the melody of thy psalteries.
23E lawe ae oe mai o'u aku nei i ke oli ana o ka oukou mau mele; Aole au e hoolohe i ke kani ana o ko oukou mau viola.
24But let justice well up as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
24Aka, e hookaheia ka hoopono ana e like me ka wai, A o ka pono e like me ka waikahe ikaika.
25Did ye bring unto Me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
25Ua kaumaha mai anei oukou na'u i na mohai, a me na makana ma ka waonahele i na makahiki he kanaha, e ka hale o ka Iseraela?
26So shall ye take up Siccuth your king and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
26Ua hali oukou i ka halelewa o ko oukou Moloka, A me ka hale o ko oukou mau kii, Ka hoku o ko oukou akua, ka mea a oukou i hana'i no oukou.
27Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith He, whose name is the LORD God of hosts.
27Nolaila, e lawe pio aku au ia oukou ma o aku o Damaseko, wahi a Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, kona inoa.
