Amos 1

Ko nga kupu a Amoho, a tetahi o nga kaitiaki hipi o Tekoa, ko tana i kite ai mo Iharaira i nga ra o Utia kingi o Hura, i nga ra hoki o Ieropoama tama a Ioaha, kingi o Iharaira, e rua nga tau i mua ake o te ru.

The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

A i mea ia, Ka hamama a Ihowa i Hiona, ka puaki hoki tona reo i Hiruharama; a ka tangi nga haerenga hipi a nga hepara, ka maroke hoki te tihi o Karamere.

And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka toru nei nga pokanga ketanga o Ramahiku, ae ra, ka wha, na e kore e whakatahuritia atu e ahau te whiu mona; kua patua a wititia hoki e ratou a Kireara ki nga patu rino:

Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:

Engari ka tukua atu e ahau he ahi ki te whare o Hataere, a ka pau i reira nga whare kingi o Peneharara.

But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Ben–hadad.

A ka whati i ahau te tutaki tatau o Ramahiku, ka hatepea atu hoki te tangata noho o te raorao o Awene, me te kaipupuri hepeta o te whare o Erene: ka whakaraua atu ano te iwi o Hiria ki Kiri, e ai ta Ihowa.

I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the LORD.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka toru nei nga pokanga ketanga o Kaha, ae ra, ka wha, na e kore e whakatahuritia atu e ahau te whiu mona: no te mea i whakaraua e ratou te iwi katoa, hei tuku atu ma ratou ki Eroma.

Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:

Engari ka tukua atu e ahau he ahi ki te taiepa o Kaha, a ka pau i reira ona whare kingi.

But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof:

A ka hatepea atu e ahau te tangata noho o Aharoro, me te kaipupuri hepeta i Ahakerono; ka tahuri hoki toku ringa ki Ekerono, a ka ngaro te morehu o nga Pirihitini, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka toru nei nga pokanga ketanga o Taira, ae ra, ka wha, na e kore e whakatahuritia atu e ahau te whiu mona; no te mea i tukua e ratou te iwi katoa ki Eroma, a kihai i mahara ki te kawenata a te tuakana ki te teina.

Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:

Engari ka tukua atu e ahau he ahi ki te taiepa o Taira, a ka pau i reira ona whare kingi.

But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka toru nei nga pokanga ketanga o Eroma, ae ra, ka wha, na e kore e whakatahuritia atu e ahau te whiu mona; no te mea i whaia e ia tona teina ki te hoari, a maka atu ana e ia te aroha katoa, heoi haehae tonu tona riri, rongoa tonu ia i tona riri a ake ake.

Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:

Engari ka tukua e ahau he ahi ki Temana, a pau ake i reira nga whare kingi o Potora.

But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka toru nei nga pokanga ketanga o nga tama a Amona, ae ra, ka wha, na e kore e whakatahuritia atu e ahau te whiu mona; no te mea kua pipiripia e ratou nga wahine hapu o Kireara, he mea kia nui ake ai te rohe ki a ratou.

Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:

Engari ka ngiha i ahau he ahi ki runga ki te taiepa o Rapa, a ka pau i reira ona whare kingi, i runga i te hamama i te ra o te whawhai, i te paroro i te ra o te tukauati.

But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:

A ka riro to ratou kingi i te whakarau, ratou tahi ko ana rangatira, e ai ta Ihowa.

And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD.
