Micah 6
1 Hear now what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
E HOOLOHE mai oukou ano i ka mea a Iehova i olelo mai ai; E ku iluna, e hakaka imua o na mauna, A e hoolohe na puu i kou leo.
2 Hear, O mountains, the LORD’s indictment, you enduring foundations of the earth. For the LORD has a case against His people, and He will argue it against Israel:
A hoolohe oukou, e na mauna i ka hoopaapaa o Iehova, A me oukou na kumu paa o ka honua: No ka mea, he hoopaapaa ko Iehova me kona poe kanaka, A e hoopaapaa no ia me ka Iseraela.
3 ‘My people, what have I done to you? Testify against Me how I have wearied you!
E kuu poe kanaka, heaha ka'u i hana aku ai ia oe? Heaha ka'u i hooluhi ai ia oe? e hoike mai ia'u.
4 For I brought you up from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery. I sent Moses before you, as well as Aaron and Miriam.
No ka mea, ua lawe mai au ia oe mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, A ua hoola au ia oe mai ka hale o na kauwa mai; A ua hoouna aku au imua ou ia Mose, ia Aarona, a me Miriama.
5 My people, remember what Balak king of Moab counseled and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may acknowledge the righteousness of the LORD.’”
E kuu poe kanaka, e hoomanao ano i ka mea a Balaka, ke alii o Moaba, i noonoo ai, A i ka mea hoi a Balaama ke keiki a Beora i olelo mai ai ia ia, mai Sitima mai a Gilegala; I ike oukou i ka pono o Iehova.
6 With what shall I come before the LORD when I bow before the God on high? Should I come to Him with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?
Me ke aha la wau e hele aku ai imua o Iehova, A kulou iho imua o ke Akua kiekie? E hele anei au imua ona me na mohai kuni, Me na keiki bipi o ka makahiki hookahi?
7 Would the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
E oluolu anei o Iehova i na tausani hipa kane? A me ka umi tausani muliwai aila? E haawi anei au i kuu makahiapo no kuu hala, I ka hua o kuu kino no ka hewa o ko'u uhane.
8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
Ua hoike mai no ia ia oe, e ke kanaka, i ka mea maikai; A he aha ka mea a ke Akua i kauoha mai ai ia oe, Ke ole e hana i ka pono, a e aloha i ka lokomaikai, A e hoohaahaa i ka hele ana me ke Akua?
9 The voice of the LORD calls out to the city (and it is sound wisdom to fear Your name): “Heed the rod and the One who ordained it.
Ke kahea mai nei ka leo o Iehova i ke kulanakauhale, A o ka mea naauao e ike i kou inoa; E hoolohe oukou i ka hoopai aua, a me ka mea nana ia i hoike mai.
10 Can I forget any longer, O house of the wicked, the treasures of wickedness and the short ephah, which is accursed?
Aole anei, i keia wa, na waiwai hewa ma ka hale o ka poe hewa, A me ka epa uuku e hoowahawahaia?
11 Can I excuse dishonest scales or bags of false weights?
E maemae anei au me na mea kaupaona hewa, A me ka aa paona hoopunipuni?
12 For the wealthy of the city are full of violence, and its residents speak lies; their tongues are deceitful in their mouths.
No ka mea, ua piha kona poe kanaka waiwai i ka hana ino, A ua olelo wahahee kona poe kanaka, A ua hoopunipuni ko lakou alelo ma ko lakou waha.
13 Therefore I am striking you severely, to ruin you because of your sins.
No ia hoi, e hoonawaliwali au ia oe, ma ka hahau ana ia oe, Ma ka hooneoneo ana ia oe no kou hewa.
14 You will eat but not be satisfied, and your hunger will remain with you. What you acquire, you will not preserve; and what you save, I will give to the sword.
A e ai iho oe, aole e maona; Aia no iloko ou ka maule ana; A e lawe aku oe, aole e hoopakele, A o ka mea au e hoopakele ai, oia ka'u e haawi aku no ka pahikaua.
15 You will sow but not reap; you will press olives but not anoint yourselves with oil; you will tread grapes but not drink the wine.
E lulu iho no oe, aka, aole oe e ohi mai; E hehi iho oe i na oliva, aole nae e poniia oe i ka aila; A i ka waina hou, aole nae oe e inu i ka waina.
16 You have kept the statutes of Omri and all the practices of Ahab’s house; you have followed their counsel. Therefore I will make you a desolation, and your inhabitants an object of contempt; you will bear the scorn of the nations.”
No ka mea, ua malamaia na kanawai o Omeri, A me na hana a pau a ko ka hale o Ahaba, A ua hele oukou ma ko lakou manao; Nolaila, e hoolilo aku ai au ia oe i neoneo, A i kona poe kanaka i mea hoowahawahaia; A e lawe oukou i ka hoino o kuu poe kanaka.
