¹¶ I whakakitea ano tenei e te Ariki, e Ihowa, ki ahau; na, he kete hua raumati.

¹Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.

²Na ka mea ia, Ko te aha te kitea ana e koe, e Amoho? Ano ra ko ahau, He kete hua raumati. Ano ra ko Ihowa ki ahau, Kua tae mai te mutunga ki taku iwi, ki a Iharaira: e kore ta ratou e whakarerea noatia e ahau a muri ake nei.

²He said, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then Yahweh said to me, “The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.

³He aue ano nga waiata o te temepara i taua ra, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa; ka maha nga tinana mate i nga wahi katoa; ka akiritia pukutia atu.

³The songs of the temple will be wailings in that day,” says the Lord Yahweh. “The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.

⁴¶ Whakarongo ki tenei, e te hunga i horomia ai te rawakore, i meinga ai te hunga iti o te whenua kia ngohe;

⁴Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail,

⁵E ki ana koutou, A hea pahemo ai te kowhititianga marama, kia hoko witi ai tatou? te hapati hoki, kia whakaputaia atu ai te witi e tatou? ka meinga te epa kia iti, te hekere kia nui, me te teka ki nga pauna tinihanga;

⁵Saying, ‘When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the ephah 1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;

⁶Kia hokona ai e tatou nga ware ki te hiriwa, te rawakore ki nga hu e rua; na, ko te witi rukenga me hoko atu.

⁶that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?’”

⁷Kua oatitia e Ihowa te nui o Hakopa, E kore ahau e wareware ki tetahi o a ratou mahi a ake ake.

⁷Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob, “Surely I will never forget any of their works.

⁸E kore ianei te whenua e wiri ki tenei? e kore ianei te hunga katoa e noho ana i reira e tangi? ae ra, ka pari katoa ake nei hoki ano ko te awa; ka akina e te hau, ka hoki iho ano, ka pera me te awa o Ihipa.

⁸Won’t the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.

⁹Na i taua ra, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, ka meinga e ahau te ra kia toene i te awatea, a ka pouri i ahau te whenua i te mea e marama ana ano te ra:

⁹It will happen in that day,” says the Lord Yahweh, “that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.

¹⁰Ka puta ke ano i ahau a koutou hakari hei tangihanga, a koutou waiata katoa hei apakura; he taratara taku kakahu mo nga hope katoa; mo nga mahunga katoa he pakira; ka rite i ahau ki te tangihanga ki te huatahi, a ko tona mutunga hei ra mamae.

¹⁰I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.

¹¹¶ Nana, kei te haere mai nga ra, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, e tukua ai e ahau he hemokai ki te whenua, ehara i te hemokai taro, ehara ano i te matewai; engari he hiahia kia rongo i nga kupu a Ihowa.

¹¹Behold, the days come,” says the Lord Yahweh, “that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Yahweh.

¹²A ka atiutiu atu ratou i tetahi moana ki tetahi moana, i te raki ki te rawhiti; ka kopikopiko, he rapu i te kupu a Ihowa; heoi e kore e kitea.

¹²They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the word of Yahweh, and will not find it.

¹³I taua ra ka hemo nga wahine ataahua, me nga taitama, i te matewai.

¹³In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.

¹⁴Na, ko te hunga e oati ana i te he o Hamaria, e ki ana, Kei te ora tou Atua, e Rana; me tenei, Kei te ora te tikanga o Peerehepa; ka taka rawa ratou, e kore ano e ara a muri ake nei.

¹⁴Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, ‘As your god, Dan, lives;’ and, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives;’ they will fall, and never rise up again.”
