Micah 4
1 Yahweh [says that] some day his temple will be on top of a mountain, and that mountain will be the most important [MET] one on the earth; it will be [as though it is] higher than all the hills, and huge groups of people from all over the world will come there [to worship].
A I na la mahope e hookupaaia ka mauna o ka hale o Iehova, maluna o na mauna, A e hookiekieia oia maluna o na puu; a e holo na kanaka i ona la.
2 [People from] many nations will say [to each other], “Let’s go to the mountain where Yahweh is, to the temple where we can worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. There God will teach us how he wants us to conduct our lives, and we will do what he wants us to do.” Zion [Hill] is the place where he will teach [people]; and [people will go] out from Jerusalem [to tell others] his messages.
A e hele na lahuikanaka he nui, a e olelo aku, E hele mai, a e pii aku kakou i ka mauna o Iehova, A i ka hale o ke Akua o Iakoba; A e ao mai ia ia kakou i kona mau aoao, A e hele kakou ma kona mau alanui; No ka mea, e hele ke kanawai mai Ziona aku, A o ka olelo a Iehova mai Ierusalema aku.
3 Yahweh will settle disputes between many people, and he will [also] settle disputes between powerful nations that are far away. Then people will hammer their swords to cause them to become plow blades, and [hammer] their spears to cause them to become pruning knives. [Armies of] nations will no [longer] fight against [armies of other] nations, and they will no longer train [men how to fight] in wars.
A e hooponopono no ia iwaena o na kanaka he nui, A e ao aku i na lahuikanaka ikaika, loihi loa aku; A e kui lakou i ka lakou mau pahikaua i oopalau, A i ka lakou mau ihe i pahipaipai: Aole e hapai ka lahuikanaka i ka pahikaua ku e i ka lahuikanaka, Aole hoi e ao hou lakou i ke kaua.
4 Everyone will sit [peacefully] under his own grapevines, and under his own fig trees; no one will cause them to be afraid. [That is what will surely happen] because the Commander of the armies of angels has said it.
A e noho kela kanaka keia kanaka malalo o kona kumuwaina, a malalo o kona laau fiku, Aohe mea nana e hoomakau mai; No ka mea, o ka waha o Iehova o na kaua, ka i olelo mai.
5 Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
No ka mea, e hele na kanaka a pau, o kela kanaka keia kanaka ma ka inoa o kona akua, A e hele kakou ma ka inoa o Iehova ko kakou Akua, ia ao aku ia ao aku.
6 Yahweh says, “There will soon be a time when I will gather the people whom I have punished, who have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries), all those whom [I have caused to] suffer much.
I kela la, wahi a Iehova, houluulu au i ka mea oopa, A e hoakoakoa i ka mea i hookukeia'ku, a i ka mea a'u i hookaumaha ai:
7 My people who did not die while they were exiled will become a strong nation [again]. Then [I], Yahweh, will be their king, and I will rule from Jerusalem forever.
A e hoolilo au i ka mea oopa i koena, A i ka mea i hookuke loihi ia'ku, i lahuikanaka ikaika; A e noho alii o Iehova maluna o lakou ma ka mauna o Ziona, mai ia manawa aku, a i ka wa mau loa aku no.
8 As for you people of Jerusalem [MET], you who [guard all of my people] like [MET] [a shepherd guards his sheep] from a tower, you [who live on] Zion [Hill], will have great power again. You people who live in Jerusalem will again rule like you did previously.
A o oe, e ka halekiai o ka poe holoholona, Ka puu o ke kaikamahine a Ziona, E hele mai no ia iou la, O ke alii ana mamua; E hele mai ke aupuni i ke kaikamahine o Ierusalema.
9 [So] why [RHQ] are you wailing now? Is it because you have no king? Have all your wise people died? You are groaning loudly like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby.
Ano, no ke aha la kou uwe nui ana? Aole anei he alii iloko ou? Ua make anei kou kakaolelo? No ka mea, ua loohia oe e ka eha, e like me ka wahine nahukuakoko.
10 [Well], you people of Jerusalem should writhe and groan like [SIM] a woman who is having birth pains, because now you must leave this city, and [while you are traveling], you will set up tents in open fields [at night]; you will go to [live in] Babylon. [But while you are] there, [I], Yahweh, will rescue you; I will free you from the power/control [MTY] of your enemies.
E haalulu, a e kuakoko, e ke kaikamahine o Ziona, me he wahine hanau la: No ka mea, ano e hele aku oe mai ke kulanakauhale aku, A e noho oe ma ke kula, A e hele aku oe a Babulona; A malaila e hoopakeleia oe; Malaila e hoola mai ai o Iehova ia oe mai ka lima mai o ko oukou poe enemi.
11 Now [the armies of] many nations have gathered to attack you. They are saying, ‘Jerusalem must be destroyed! We want to see this city [when it becomes ruins]!’
Ano hoi, ua nui na lahuikanaka i akoakoa ku e mai ia oe, Ka mea e olelo ana, E hoohaumiaia oia, a e nana aku ko kakou maka i Ziona.
12 But they do not know what [I], Yahweh, think, and they do not understand what I plan: I will gather them [and punish them] like [SIM] [farmers] thresh grain on the ground.
Aka, aole lakou i ike i na manao o Iehova, Aole i ike lakou i kona noonoo ana: No ka mea, e hoakoakoa oia ia lakou, me he pua la ma kahi hehi palaoa.
13 So, you people of Jerusalem, rise up and punish [MET] [the nations who oppose you]. I will cause you [to be very strong], [as if] [MET] you had horns made of iron, [as if] [MET] you had hoofs made of bronze; and you will crush many nations. And [then you will take] from your enemies the valuable things that they have taken [from other countries], and you will dedicate those things to [me, the one who is] the Lord of all [the people on] the earth.”
E ku iluna, a e hehi iho, e ke kaikamahine o Ziona; No ka mea, o hoolilo aku au i kou pepeiaohao i hao, A e hoolilo hoi au i kou mau maiuu wawae i keleawe: A e kui iho oe a liilii na kanaka he nui: A e hoolaa aku au i ka lakou loaa no Iehova, A i ko lakou waiwai no ka Haku o ka honua a pau.
