Amos 3
Maori Bible
3 Whakarongo ki tenei kupu i korerotia e Ihowa mo koutou, e nga tama a Iharaira, mo te kapu katoa i kawea mai e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa, i mea ahau,
2 Ko koutou anake taku i mohio ai o nga hapu katoa o te ao: mo reira ka whiua koutou e ahau mo o koutou he katoa.
3 E haere tahi ano ranei te tokorua, ki te kore e whakaae ki a raua?
4 E hamama ranei te raiona i te ngahere i te mea kahore ana tupapaku? e tangi ranei te reo o te kuao raiona i tona kuhunga, ki te kore tetahi mea e mau i a ia?
5 E taka ranei te manu ki roto ki te mahanga i runga i te whenua i te mea kahore he ahere mona? e mokowhiti ake ranei te mahanga i te oneone, a hore rawa he mea e mau?
6 E tangi ranei te tetere i roto i tetahi pa, a kahore te iwi e wehi? e puta ranei he kino ki te pa, a ehara i a Ihowa nana i mahi?
7 He pono e kore te Ariki, a Ihowa, e mahi i tetahi mea, engari ka whakakitea e ia tona whakaaro huna ki ana pononga, ki nga poropiti.
8 Kua hamama te raiona, ko wai e kore e wehi? kua korero a Ihowa, te Ariki, ko wai e kore e poropiti?
9 Panuitia atu i roto i nga whare kingi i Aharoro, i nga whare kingi hoki i te whenua o Ihipa, mea atu, Whakamine i a koutou ki runga ki nga maunga o Hamaria, ka matakitaki ki nga ngangau nui i waenga o reira, ki nga tukinotanga hoki i waenga o rei ra.
10 Kahore hoki ratou e mohio ki te mahi i te tika, e ai ta Ihowa, e rongoa nei ratou i te mahi tutu me te pahua i roto i o ratou whare kingi.
11 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: He hoariri tera, ka karapotia e ia te whenua: a ka riro iho i a ia tou kaha, ka pahuatia hoki ou whare kingi.
12 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Ka rite ki te hepara e tango mai nei i nga waewae e rua i te mangai o te raiona, i tetahi wahi ranei o te taringa; ka pena ano te tangohanga mai o nga tama a Iharaira e noho ra i Hamaria i te pito o te moenga, i runga h oki i nga urunga o tetahi moenga.
13 Whakarongo koutou, whakaaturia hoki he he mo te whare o Hakopa, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, ta te Atua o nga mano.
14 No te mea hei te ra e pa ai taku ki a Iharaira mo ona poka ke, ka pa ano hoki taku ki nga aata o Peteere, a ka poutoa nga haona o te aata, ka taka ki te whenua.
15 Ka patua ano e ahau te whare hotoke me te whare raumati; a ka moti nga whare rei, ka kore nga whare nunui, e ai ta Ihowa.

Witnesses Summoned Against Israel
3 Hear this word, people of Israel, the word the Lord has spoken against you(A)—against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt:(B)
2 “You only have I chosen(C)
of all the families of the earth;
therefore I will punish(D) you
for all your sins.(E)”
3 Do two walk together
unless they have agreed to do so?
4 Does a lion roar(F) in the thicket
when it has no prey?(G)
Does it growl in its den
when it has caught nothing?
5 Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground
when no bait(H) is there?
Does a trap spring up from the ground
if it has not caught anything?
6 When a trumpet(I) sounds in a city,
do not the people tremble?
When disaster(J) comes to a city,
has not the Lord caused it?(K)
7 Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing
without revealing his plan(L)
to his servants the prophets.(M)
8 The lion(N) has roared(O)—
who will not fear?
The Sovereign Lord has spoken—
who can but prophesy?(P)
9 Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod(Q)
and to the fortresses of Egypt:
“Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria;(R)
see the great unrest within her
and the oppression among her people.”
10 “They do not know how to do right,(S)” declares the Lord,
“who store up in their fortresses(T)
what they have plundered(U) and looted.”
11 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“An enemy will overrun your land,
pull down your strongholds
and plunder your fortresses.(V)”
12 This is what the Lord says:
“As a shepherd rescues from the lion’s(W) mouth
only two leg bones or a piece of an ear,
so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued,
with only the head of a bed
and a piece of fabric[a] from a couch.[b](X)”
13 “Hear this and testify(Y) against the descendants of Jacob,” declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.
14 “On the day I punish(Z) Israel for her sins,
I will destroy the altars of Bethel;(AA)
the horns(AB) of the altar will be cut off
and fall to the ground.
15 I will tear down the winter house(AC)
along with the summer house;(AD)
the houses adorned with ivory(AE) will be destroyed
and the mansions(AF) will be demolished,(AG)”
declares the Lord.(AH)
