ʻAmosi 6
1“Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who feel secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel comes!
1MALAʻIA 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!
2Pass over to Calneh, and see, and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms? Or is their territory greater than your territory,
2Laka 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?
3O you who put far away the day of disaster and bring near the seat of violence?
3Ko kimoutolu ʻoku tuku mamaʻo atu ʻae ʻaho kovi, pea ʻoku pule ke ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae nofoʻa ʻoe fakamālohi;
4“Woe to those who lie on beds of ivory and stretch themselves out on their couches, and eat lambs from the flock and calves from the midst of the stall,
4Pea 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;
5who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp and like David invent for themselves instruments of music,
5Pea ʻoku hivehiva ki he leʻo ʻoe meʻa faiva, pea ʻoku filioʻi ke ngaohi maʻanautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa faiva ke hiva ʻaki, hangē ko Tevita;
6who drink wine in bowls and anoint themselves with the finest oils, but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!
6Pea 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.
7Therefore they shall now be the first of those who go into exile, and the revelry of those who stretch themselves out shall pass away.”
7Ko 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.
8The Lord GOD has sworn by himself, declares the LORD, the God of hosts: “I abhor the pride of Jacob and hate his strongholds, and I will deliver up the city and all that is in it.”
8“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.
9And if ten men remain in one house, they shall die.
9Pea ʻe pehē, ka ai ha kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu kuo tuku ʻi he fale ʻe taha, te nau mate.
10And when one’s relative, the one who anoints him for burial, shall take him up to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him who is in the innermost parts of the house, “Is there still anyone with you?” he shall say, “No”; and he shall say, “Silence! We must not mention the name of the LORD.”
10“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.’
11For behold, the LORD commands, and the great house shall be struck down into fragments, and the little house into bits.
11“Koeʻuhi, vakai, ʻoku fekau ʻe Sihova, pea te ne taaʻi ʻae fale lahi ke avaava, pea mo e fale siʻi ke mafahifahi.
12Do horses run on rocks? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood —
12ʻE 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:
13you who rejoice in Lo-debar, who say, “Have we not by our own strength captured Karnaim for ourselves?”
13ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku fiefia ʻi he meʻa noa pe, pea lea pehē, ‘ʻIkai kuo tau maʻu ʻae nifo, ʻi hotau mālohi pe?’|”
14“For behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel,” declares the LORD, the God of hosts; “and they shall oppress you from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of the Arabah.”
14Ka 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.”
