Micah 1
1 The word of Yahweh which came unto Micah the Morashtite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, —of which he had vision concerning 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 ye peoples, all of you, Hearken, O earth and the fulness thereof, —and let My Lord Yahweh be among you for a witness, My Lord out of 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 lo! Yahweh, coming forth out of his place, —that he may descend, and march along 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 Then shall the mountains be melted beneath him, and, the valleys, be cleft, —as wax before the fire, as waters poured out in a steep place.
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 For the transgression of Jacob, is all this, and for the sin of the house of Israel, —Whose is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria’s? And whose is the sin 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 will I make of Samaria a heap in a field, the plantings in a vineyard, —and I will pour down, into the valley, her stones, and, her foundations, will I lay bare;
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, all her images, shall be beaten in pieces, and, all her rewards for unchastity, shall be burned in the fire, and, all her idols, will I make a desolation, —for, out of the reward of unchastity, she gathered [them], and, unto the reward of unchastity, shall they return.
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 For this cause, will I lament and howl, I will go stript and bare, —I will make a lamentation, like the wild dogs, and a mourning, like ostriches.
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 dangerous are her wounds, —for she hath come as far as Judah, she hath reached as far as the gate of my people, as far as 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 In Gath, do not tell, in Accho, do not weep, —in Beth-l’aphrah, roll yourselves in dust.
Kaua e whakaaturia ki Kata, kaua rawa e tangi: kua okeoke ahau i roto i te puehu i Petere Apara.
11 Pass thou over (for you), thou inhabitress of Shaphir, of disgraceful disclosure, —the inhabitress of Zaanan, hath not gone forth, at the lamentation of Beth-ezel, shall he take from you his station,
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 Though the inhabitress of Maroth waited for blessing, —yet there came down calamity from Yahweh, 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 Bind the chariot to the steed, O inhabitress of Lachish, —the beginning of sin, was she to the daughter of Zion, for, in thee, have been 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, shalt thou give a dismission, against Moresheth-gath, —The houses of Achzib, served for a deception 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 The time shall yet be when, the heir, I will bring unto thee, O inhabitress of Mareshah, —as far as Adullam, shall enter the glory 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 Make thee bald, and cut off thy hair, for the children of thy pleasures, —enlarge thy baldness, like a vulture, for they are exiled from thee.
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.
