< Micah 7 >

1 Woe is me, for I am become as one that gleaneth in autumn the grapes of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat, my soul desired the firstripe figs.
A UWE ia'u! no ka mea, ua like au me ka ohi ai ana o ke kau, E like me na koena huawaina o ka ohi ana: Aohe huhui e ai ai; makemake iho la kuu naau i ka hua fiku mua.
2 The holy man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood, every one hunteth his brother to death.
Ua nalo ka mea lokomaikai mai ka aina aku: Aohe mea pono iwaena o na kanaka; Ke hoohalua nei lakou a pau no ke koko: Hoohei iho lakou, o kela mea keia mea i kona hoahanau, i ka upena.
3 The evil of their hands they call good: the prince requireth, and the judge is for giving: and the great man hath uttered the desire of his soul, and they have troubled it.
Hana hewa ikaika hoi lakou me na lima; Noi aku ka luna, a me ka lunakanawai i uku: A o ke kanaka nui, oia ke hoike aku i ka makemake o kona naau; Pela no lakou e huikau ai ia mea.
4 He that is best among them, is as a brier: and he that is righteous, as the thorn of the hedge. The day of thy inspection, thy visitation cometh: now shall be their destruction.
O ka mea maikai o lakou ua like me ka laau ooi; A o ka mea pono, ua oioi ia mamua o ka palaau oioi. O ka la o kou poe kiai, a o kou hoopai ana, e hiki mai no ia; Ano e hiki mai ai ko lakou popilikia.
5 Believe not a friend, and trust not in a prince: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that sleepeth in thy bosom.
Mai hilinai oukou i ka makamaka, Mai paulele i ka hoalauna: E hoopaa i ka puka o kou waha mai ka mea e moe ana ma kou poli.
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, and the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a man’s enemies are they of his own household.
No ka mea, hoowahawaha ke keikikane i kona makuakane, Ku e mai ke kaikamahine i kona makuwahine, O ka hunonawahine i kona makuahunowaiwahine, O na enemi o ke kanaka, o na kanaka no ia o kona hale iho.
7 But I will look towards the Lord, I will wait for God my Saviour: my God will hear me.
A e nana aku au ia Iehova: E kali aku au i ke Akua o kuu ola; E hoolohe mai ko'u Akua ia'u.
8 Rejoice not, thou, my enemy, over me, because I am fallen: I shall arise, when I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
Mai hauoli oe maluna o'u, e ko'u enemi: No ka mea, a i haule iho au, e ala hou ae no: A i noho au i ka pouli, o Iehova ka malamalama no'u.
9 I will bear the wrath of the Lord, because I have sinned against him; until he judge my cause and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth into the light, I shall behold his justice.
E hoomanawanui no au i ka inaina o Iehova, No ka mea, ua hana hewa no au ia ia, A hoapono mai ia i ka'u mea, A e hoopai aku no ia no'u; A lawe mai no ia ia'u iwaho i ka malamalama, A e ike aku au i kona pono.
10 And my enemy shall behold, and she shall be covered with shame, who saith to me: Where is the Lord thy God? My eyes shall look down upon her: now shall she be trodden under foot as the mire of the streets.
A e ike kou enemi ia mea, A e uhi mai ka hilahila i ka mea i olelo mai ai ia'u, Auhea o Iehova kou Akua? E ike auanei ko'u mau maka ia ia: Ano e hehiia oia ilalo, e like me ka lepo o na alanui.
11 The day shall come, that thy walls may be built up: in that day shall the law be far removed.
I ka la e hanaia'i kou mau papohaku, Ia la e lawe loa ia'ku ke kanawai.
12 In that day they shall come even from Assyria to thee, and to the fortified cities: and from the fortified cities even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
Ia la e hele mai ia i ou la mai Asuria mai, a i Aigupita, A mai Aigupita a ka muliwai, A mai ke kai a ke kai, A mai ka mauna a ka mauna.
13 And the land shall be made desolate, because of the inhabitants thereof, and for the fruit of their devices.
Aka, e lilo ka aina i neoneo no ka poe e noho ana iloko, A no ka hua o ka lakou mau hana.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy inheritance, them that dwell alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in Basan and Galaad according to the days of old.
E hanai oe i kou poe kanaka me kou kookoo, Ka poe o kou hooilina, ka poe e noho mehameha ana ma ka ululaau, iwaena o Karemela: E ai lakou ma Basana, a ma Gileada, e like me ka manawa kahiko.
15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt I will shew him wonders.
E like me na la o kou puka ana, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, E hoike aku au ia ia i na mea kupanaha.
16 The nations shall see, and shall be confounded at all their strength: they shall put the hand upon the mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
E ike mai na lahuikanaka, a e hilahila no ko lakou ikaika a pau; A e kau lakou i ka lima maluna o ka waha, E kuli hoi ko lakou mau pepeiao.
17 They shall lick the dust like serpents, as the creeping things of the earth, they shall be disturbed in their houses: they shall dread the Lord our God, and shall fear thee.
E palu lakou i ka lepo me he nahesa la, E kolo lakou mai ka lakou mau lua mai, e like me na mea kolo o ka honua, E weliweli lakou ia Iehova ko kakou Akua, A e makau lakou nou.
18 Who is a God like to thee, who takest away iniquity, and passest by the sin of the remnant of thy inheritance? he will send his fury in no more, because he delighteth in mercy.
Owai la ke Akua e like me oe, e kala ana i ka hewa, A e maalo ae ana i ka hala o ke koena o kona hooilina? Aole ia e hoomau loa aku i kona inaina, No ka mea, ke makemake nei no ia i ke aloha.
19 He will turn again, and have mercy on us: he will put away our iniquities: and he will cast all our sins into the bottom of the sea.
E hoi hou mai no ia, a e aloha mai no ia ia kakou; A hehi ilalo no ia i ko kakou mau hewa; A e hoolei aku oe i ko lakou hewa a pau iloko o ka hohonu o ke kai.
20 Thou wilt perform the truth of Jacob, the mercy to Abraham: which thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
A e haawi mai no oe i ka oiaio ia Iakoba, a me ka lokomaikai ia Aberahama, Ka mea au i hoohiki ai i ko makou mau kupuna mai ka wa kahiko mai.
