1 ¶ Woe unto those that are at ease in Zion and to those that trust in the mountain of Samaria, who are named principals among the same nations which shall come upon them, O house of Israel!

Aue, te mate mo te hunga e noho humarie ana i Hiona, mo te hunga hoki e whakawhirinaki ana ki te maunga o Hamaria, nga tangata whai ingoa o te tuatahi o nga iwi, i tae atu nei te whare o Iharaira ki a ratou.

2 P ass unto Calneh and see, and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Palestinians. Are they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?

Haere tonu ki Karane titiro ai, haere atu i reira ki Hamata nui; haere tonu atu ki Kata o nga Pirihitini: he pai atu ranei i enei kingitanga? nui atu ranei to ratou rohe i to koutou rohe?

3 Y e that put far away the evil day and cause the seat of violence to come near;

E te hunga e whakamatara atu na i te ra kino, e mea na i te nohoanga o te tutu kia tata mai;

4 t hat lie upon beds of ivory and stretch themselves upon their couches and eat the lambs out of the flock and the calves out of the midst of the stall;

E takoto na i runga i te moenga rei, e wharoro na i runga i o ratou takotoranga, e kai na i nga reme o te kahui, i nga kuao kau o waenganui i te turanga kau;

5 t hat chant to the sound of the flute and invent to themselves instruments of music, like David;

E waiata na i nga waiata poauau ki te rangi hatere; e whakaaroa ana hoki e ratou nga mea whakatangi, e pera ana me Rawiri;

6 t hat drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

E inu ana i te waina o nga peihana, a e whakawahi ana i a ratou ki nga hinu pai rawa; kahore ia o ratou pouri mo te aitua o Hohepa.

7 T herefore now they shall go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of those that stretched themselves upon their couches shall be removed.

Na aianei ko ratou ki mua ka whakaraua atu o te hunga e whakaraua ana, a ka kore te hakari a te hunga i wharoro ra.

8 ¶ The Lord GOD has sworn by himself, the LORD God of the hosts said, I abhor the grandeur of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore I will give the city with all that is therein over to the enemy.

Kua oatitia te Ariki, a Ihowa, e ia ano, e ai ta Ihowa, ta te Atua o nga mano, E whakarihariha ana ahau ki ta Hakopa e whakai na, e kino ana ki ona whare kingi: mo reira ka tukua atu e ahau te pa me nga mea i roto.

9 A nd it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.

Na, ki te toe nga tangata kotahi tekau i roto i te whare kotahi, ka mate ratou.

10 A nd their uncle shall take each one and burn them to bring out the bones out of the house and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then he shall say, Hold thy tongue, for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.

A, ki te tangohia ake tetahi e tona matua keke, ara e te kaitahu mona, kia maua mai ai nga wheua i roto i te whare, a ka mea ia ki te tangata i roto rawa i te whare, He tangata ano ranei tena kei a koe na? a ka mea ia, Kahore; katahi ia ka mea, Whakarongoa; e kore hoki tatou e whakahua i te ingoa o Ihowa.

11 F or, behold, the LORD shall command, and he will smite the great house with breaches and the little house with clefts.

No te mea, nana, kei te whakahau a Ihowa, a ka patua te whare nui ki nga pakaru, te whare iti ki nga ngatata.

12 S hall horses run upon the rocks? will one plow there with oxen? why have ye turned judgment into hemlock, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood?

E rere ranei te hoiho i runga i te kamaka? e parautia ranei a reira ki te kau? i whakaputaina ketia ai e koutou te whakawa hei au, nga hua hoki o te tika hei taru kawa.

13 Y e who rejoice in a thing of nought, who say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?

E koa na hoki koutou ki te kahore noa iho, e mea na, He teka ianei kua riro mai he haona i a tatou, he mea na to tatou uaua?

14 B ut, behold, I will raise up against you Gentiles, O house of Israel, said the LORD God of the hosts, and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.

Otiia, nana, ka ara i ahau tetahi iwi ki a koutou, e te whare o Iharaira, e ai ta Ihowa, ta te Atua o nga mano, a ka whakatupuria kinotia koutou e ratou i te haerenga atu ki Hamata a tae noa ki te awa o te Arapa.
