Maori Bible
7 Ko ta te Ariki, ko ta Ihowa tenei i whakaatu ai ki ahau; nana, i hanga e ia he mawhitiwhiti i te timatanga o te pihinga ake o to muri tupu; nana, ko to muri tupu ia i muri iho i a te kingi tapahanga.
2 Na ka poto te tarutaru o te whenua te kai, ka mea ahau, E te Ariki, e Ihowa, tena ra, murua te he: ma te aha oti a Hakopa ka ara ai? he iti nei hoki ia.
3 I puta ke to Ihowa whakaaro mo tenei; E kore e meatia, e ai ta Ihowa.
4 Ko ta te Ariki, ko ta Ihowa tenei i whakakite ai ki ahau: na kua karangatia e te Ariki, e Ihowa, he whawhai, he mea ahi, a ka pau te rire nui, a ka mea kia kainga te whenua.
5 Na ka mea ahau, Kati ra, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, ma te aha oti a Hakopa ka ara ai? he iti nei hoki ia.
6 I puta ke to Ihowa whakaaro mo tenei, E kore ano tenei e meatia, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
7 I whakakitea tenei e ia ki ahau: na, ko te Ariki e tu ana i runga i te taiepa, he mea paramu ki te aho, me te aho paramu i tona ringa.
8 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, Ko te aha e kitea ana e koe, e Amoho? Ano ra ko ahau, He aho paramu. Katahi te Ariki ka ki mai, Nana, ka iri i ahau he aho paramu i waenganui i taku iwi, i a Iharaira: e kore e whakarerea noatia iho ta ratou e ahau a mu ri ake nei.
9 A ka ururuatia nga wahi tiketike o Ihaka, ka tuheatia nga wahi tapu o Iharaira; ka whakatika atu ano ahau, me te hoari ki te whare o Ieropoama.
10 Na ka unga tangata a Amatia tohunga o Peteere ki a Ieropoama kingi o Iharaira hei ki atu, Kua whakatakotoria e Amoho he he mou i roto i te whare o Iharaira; kahore e taea e tenei whenua te waha ana kupu katoa.
11 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Amoho, Ka mate a Ieropoama i te hoari, a ka whakaraua rawatia atu a Iharaira i to ratou oneone.
12 I mea ano a Amatia ki a Amoho, E te matakite, haere, e rere ki te whenua o Hura, ki reira kai ai i te taro mau, ki reira poropiti ai.
13 Engari kati tau poropiti ki Peteere: ko to te kingi wahi tapu hoki ia, he whare hoki no te kingitanga.
14 Na ka whakahoki a Amoho, ka mea ki a Amatia, Ehara ahau i te poropiti, ehara ano i te tama na te poropiti; engari he kaitiaki kahui ahau, he kaikikini hikamora:
15 I tikina ake hoki ahau e Ihowa i te mea e whai ana i nga hipi, i ki mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau, Haere, poropiti ki taku iwi, ki a Iharaira.
16 Na whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, E mea na koe, Kaua e poropiti ki a Iharaira, kei maturuturu iho ano tetahi kupu au hei whakahe mo te whare o Ihaka.
17 No reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tera tau wahine e kairau i roto i te pa, a ka hinga au tama me au tamahine i te hoari, ka wehewehea tou oneone, mea rawa ki te aho; ka mate koe i runga i te oneone poke, ka whakaraua rawatia atu hoki a Iharaira i tona oneone.

Locusts, Fire and a Plumb Line
7 This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me:(A) He was preparing swarms of locusts(B) after the king’s share had been harvested and just as the late crops were coming up. 2 When they had stripped the land clean,(C) I cried out, “Sovereign Lord, forgive! How can Jacob survive?(D) He is so small!(E)”
3 So the Lord relented.(F)
“This will not happen,” the Lord said.(G)
4 This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: The Sovereign Lord was calling for judgment by fire;(H) it dried up the great deep and devoured(I) the land. 5 Then I cried out, “Sovereign Lord, I beg you, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!(J)”
6 So the Lord relented.(K)
“This will not happen either,” the Sovereign Lord said.(L)
7 This is what he showed me: The Lord was standing by a wall that had been built true to plumb,[a] with a plumb line[b] in his hand. 8 And the Lord asked me, “What do you see,(M) Amos?(N)”
“A plumb line,(O)” I replied.
Then the Lord said, “Look, I am setting a plumb line among my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.(P)
9 “The high places(Q) of Isaac will be destroyed
and the sanctuaries(R) of Israel will be ruined;
with my sword I will rise against the house of Jeroboam.(S)”
Amos and Amaziah
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel(T) sent a message to Jeroboam(U) king of Israel: “Amos is raising a conspiracy(V) against you in the very heart of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words.(W) 11 For this is what Amos is saying:
“‘Jeroboam will die by the sword,
and Israel will surely go into exile,(X)
away from their native land.’”(Y)
12 Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Get out, you seer!(Z) Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there.(AA) 13 Don’t prophesy anymore at Bethel,(AB) because this is the king’s sanctuary and the temple(AC) of the kingdom.(AD)”
14 Amos answered Amaziah, “I was neither a prophet(AE) nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees.(AF) 15 But the Lord took me from tending the flock(AG) and said to me, ‘Go,(AH) prophesy(AI) to my people Israel.’(AJ) 16 Now then, hear(AK) the word of the Lord. You say,
“‘Do not prophesy against(AL) Israel,
and stop preaching against the descendants of Isaac.’
17 “Therefore this is what the Lord says:
