< Micah 2 >

1 Woe [to] those devising iniquity, And working evil on their beds, In the morning light they do it, For their hand is—to God.
A UWE ka poe e noonoo ana i ka ino, a e imi aua i ka hewa, maluna o ko lakou wahi moe! I ka malamalama o ke ao, hana lakou ia mea, no ka mea, ma ka ikaika o ko lakou lima e hiki ai ia.
2 And they have desired fields, And they have taken violently, And houses, and they have taken away, And have oppressed a man and his house, Even a man and his inheritance.
A kuko aku lakou i na mahinaai, i kaili wale, a me na hale, a lawe hoi ia mau mea: A alunu lakou i ka ke kanaka, a me kona hale, i ka ke kanaka a me kona aina hooili.
3 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am devising against this family calamity, From which you do not remove your necks, Nor walk loftily, for it [is] a time of evil.
No ia mea, peneia i olelo mai ai o Iehova; Aia hoi, ke manao nei au i ka hewa no keia ohana, Aole oukou e hiki ke hoonee aku i ko oukou mau a-i mai ia mea aku; Aole hoi oukou e hele hookiekie, no ka mea, he manawa ino keia.
4 In that day [one] takes up for you an allegory, And he has wailed a wailing of woe, He has said, We have been utterly spoiled, The portion of my people He changes, How He moves toward me! To the backslider our fields He apportions.
Ia la e lawe kekahi i mele no oukou, A e kanikau i ke kanikau nui, i ka i ana ae, I ka luku ana ua lukuia kakou; Ua hoololiia ka hooilina o kuu poe kanaka; Nani ka laweia'ku ia mai o'u la! A no ka mea hoihoi, ua puunaueia ko kakou mau mahinaai;
5 Therefore, you have no caster of a line by lot In the assembly of YHWH.
Nolaila, aohe ou mea nana e hoolei ke kaula ma ka hailona, iloko o ka ahakanaka o Iehova.
6 You do not prophesy—they prophesy, They do not prophesy to these, It does not remove shame.
Mai hai aku i ka wanana; aole lakou e wanana ia lakou, aole e lawe i ka hilahila.
7 [Those] named the house of Jacob: Has the Spirit of YHWH been shortened? Are these His doings? Do My words not benefit the people that are walking uprightly?
E ka mea i kapaia o ka hale o Iakoba, ua pauaho anei ka uhane o Iehova? O keia anei kana mau hana? aole anei he maikai ka'u mau olelo i ka mea e hele pono ana?
8 And recently My people raise up as an enemy, You strip off the honorable ornament from the outer garment, From the confident passers by, You who are turning back from war.
Ano iho nei ua ku e mai kuu poe kanaka me he enemi la: Ke kaili nei oukou i ka aahu, a me ka lole komo o ka poe e hele maluhia ana, me he poe la e hoi ana, mai ke kaua mai.
9 The women of My people you cast out from its delightful house, From its sucklings you take away My honor for all time.
Ua hookuke aku oukou i na wahine o kuu poe kanaka, mai ko lakou hale maikai aku; Ua lawe loa aku oukou i kuu nani mai ka lakou poe keiki aku.
10 Rise and go, for this [is] not the rest, Because of uncleanness it corrupts, And corruption is powerful.
E ku mai oukou, a hele aku, no ka mea, aohe keia ko oukou wahi maha; No ka mea, ua haumia ia, e luku aku ia ia oukou me ka luku nui.
11 If one is going [with] the wind, And [with] falsehood has lied: I prophesy to you of wine, and of strong drink, He has been the prophet of this people!
Ina e hele ke kanaka ma ka makani, a ma ka hoopunipuni, a wahahee oia, i ka i ana ae, E wanana aku au ia oe no ka waina, a me ka mea inu awaawa; Oia no ke kaula o keia poe kanaka.
12 I surely gather you, O Jacob, all of you, I surely bring together the remnant of Israel, Together I set it as the flock of Bozrah, As a drove in the midst of its pasture, It makes a noise because of man.
E hoakoakoa io ana au i kau a pau, e Iakoba; E houluulu io ana au i ke koena o ka Iseraela: E hui pu aku au ia lakou e like me na hipa a Bozera, E like me ka poe hipa iwaenakonu o ko lakou pahipa; E pioloke nui lakou no ka nui o na kanaka.
13 The breaker has gone up before them, They have broken through, Indeed, they pass through the gate, Indeed, they go out through it, And their king passes on before them, And YHWH at their head!”
Ua pii ae ka mea wawahi imua o lakou; Ua wawahi iho lakou, a ua komo lakou ma ka pukapa, a ua hele aku malaila; A e hele ko lakou alii imua o lakou, o Iehova ma ko lakou poo.
