Micah 1
1 This is the word of the LORD that came to Micah the Moreshite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah—what he saw regarding Samaria and Jerusalem:
Ko te kupu a Ihowa i puta mai ki a Mika Morahati i nga ra o nga kingi o Hura, ara o Iotama, o Ahata, o Hetekia, ko tana i kite ai mo Hamaria raua ko Hiruharama.
2 Hear, O peoples, all of you; listen, O earth, and everyone in it! May the Lord GOD bear witness against you, the Lord from His holy temple.
Whakarongo e nga iwi, e koutou katoa; kia whai taringa mai, e te whenua, me nga mea katoa i roto i a koe: ko te Ariki, ko Ihowa hei whakaatu i to koutou he, ko te Ariki mai i tona temepara tapu.
3 For behold, the LORD comes forth from His dwelling place; He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
No te mea, nana, kei te puta mai a Ihowa i tona wahi, ka heke iho ia, ka takahi ki runga ki nga wahi tiketike o te whenua.
4 The mountains will melt beneath Him, and the valleys will split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.
A ka rewa nga maunga i raro i a ia, ka ngatata nga raorao, ka rite ki te waki i mua i te ahi, ki nga wai i ringihia ki te wahi paripari.
5 All this is for the transgression of Jacob and the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what is the high place of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
Mo te he o Hakopa tenei katoa, mo nga hara o te whare o Iharaira. He aha te he o Hakopa? he teka ianei ko Hamaria? He aha ano hoki nga wahi tiketike o Hura? he teka ianei ko Hiruharama?
6 Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble in the open field, a planting area for a vineyard. I will pour her stones into the valley and expose her foundations.
Mo reira ka meinga e ahau a Hamaria kia rite ki te puranga o te mara, ki nga whakatokanga hoki o te mara waina; ka ringihia iho ano e ahau ona kohatu ki raro ki te raorao, a ka hurahia e ahau ona turanga.
7 All her carved images will be smashed to pieces; all her wages will be burned in the fire, and I will destroy all her idols. Since she collected the wages of a prostitute, they will be used again on a prostitute.
A ka wawahia ana whakapakoko, mongamonga ana, ka tahuna hoki ona utu katoa ki te ahi, a ka takoto kau i ahau ana whakapakoko katoa: he mea amene hoki nana ki te utu a te wahine kairau, a ka hoki atu ano hei utu ki te wahine kairau.
8 Because of this I will lament and wail; I will walk barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and mourn like an ostrich.
Mo reira ka tangi ahau, ka aue, ka haere ahau, tihore rawa nga kakahu, tahanga kau: ka rite taku tangi ki ta nga kuri mohoao, taku uhunga ki ta nga otereti.
9 For her wound is incurable; it has reached even Judah; it has approached the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem itself.
No te mea ko ona patunga e kore e mahu; kua tae rawa nei hoki ki a Hura; kua tae ki te kuwaha o taku iwi, ara ki Hiruharama.
10 Do not tell it in Gath; do not weep at all. Roll in the dust in Beth-leaphrah.
Kaua e whakaaturia ki Kata, kaua rawa e tangi: kua okeoke ahau i roto i te puehu i Petere Apara.
11 Depart in shameful nakedness, O dwellers of Shaphir. The dwellers of Zaanan will not come out. Beth-ezel is in mourning; its support is taken from you.
Haere atu korua, e te wahine e noho ana i Hapiri, i te takoto tahanga, i te whakama: kahore ano te wahine e noho ana i Taanana i puta mai; ka tangohia atu i a koutou e te tangihanga o Peteetere tona turanga.
12 For the dwellers of Maroth pined for good, but calamity came down from the LORD, even to the gate of Jerusalem.
I tatari hoki te wahine e noho ana i Maroto ki te pai, me te manukanuka ano; no te mea kua heke iho te kino i a Ihowa ki te kuwaha o Hiruharama.
13 Harness your chariot horses, O dweller of Lachish. You were the beginning of sin to the Daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
Whakamaua te hariata ki te hoiho tere, e te wahine e noho ana i Rakihi: ko ia te timatanga o te hara o te tamahine a Hiona; kua kitea na hoki nga he o Iharaira i roto i a koe.
14 Therefore, send farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath; the houses of Achzib will prove deceptive to the kings of Israel.
Mo reira ka hoatu e koe he hakari poroporoaki ki Morehetekata: hei mea teka nga whare o Akatipi ki nga kingi o Iharaira.
15 I will again bring a conqueror against you, O dweller of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
Tenei ake ka kawea atu e ahau ki a koe, e te wahine e noho ana i Mareha, te tangata e whiwhi ki a koe: ka tae te kororia o Iharaira ki Aturama ra ano.
16 Shave yourselves bald and cut off your hair in mourning for your precious children; make yourselves as bald as an eagle, for they will go from you into exile.
Moremorea tou mahunga, kutikutia hoki, mo au tamariki i ahuareka ai; whakanuia tou pakira kia rite ki to te ekara; kua mawehe atu hoki ratou i a koe, kua whakaraua.
