Michaeas 1
1 And the word of the Lord came to Michaeas the son of Morasthi, in the days of Joatham, and Achaz, and Ezekias, kings of Juda, concerning 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 [these] words, you people; and let the earth give heed, and all that are in it: and the Lord God shall be amongst you for a testimony, the Lord out of his holy habitation.
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 out of his place, and will come down, and will go upon 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 And the mountains shall be shaken under him, and the valleys shall melt like wax before the fire, and as water rushing down a declivity.
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 these [calamities are] for the transgression of Jacob, and for the sin of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? [is it] not Samaria? and what is the sin of the house of Juda? [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 [as] a store-house of the fruits of the field, and [as] a planting of a vineyard: and I will utterly demolish her stones, and I will 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 And they shall cut in pieces all the graven images, and all that she has hired they shall burn with fire, and I will utterly destroy all her idols: because she has gathered of the hires of fornication, and of the hires of fornication has she amassed [wealth].
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 Therefore shall she lament and wail, she shall go barefooted, and [being] naked she shall make lamentation as [that] of serpents, and mourning as of the daughters of sirens.
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 plague has become grievous; for it has come even to Juda; and has reached to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
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 You that are in Geth, exalt not yourselves, and you Enakim, do not rebuild from [the ruins of] the house in derision: sprinkle dust [in the place of] your laughter.
Kaua e whakaaturia ki Kata, kaua rawa e tangi: kua okeoke ahau i roto i te puehu i Petere Apara.
11 The inhabitant of Sennaar, fairly inhabiting her cities, came not forth to mourn for the house next to her: she shall receive of you the stroke of grief.
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 Who has begun [to act] for good to her that dwells in sorrow? for calamities have come down from the Lord upon the gates 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 [even] a sound of chariots and horsemen: the inhabitants of Lachis, she is the leader of sin to the daughter of Sion: for in you were found the transgressions of Israel.
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 shall he cause men to be sent forth as far as the inheritance of Geth, [even] vain houses; they are become vanity 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 until they bring the heirs, O inhabitant of Lachis: the inheritance shall reach to Odollam, [even] the glory of the daughter of Israel.
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 your hair, and make yourself bald for your delicate children; increase your widowhood as an eagle; for [your people] are gone into captivity from you.
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.
