Micah 3
1 And I say, 'Hear, I pray you, heads of Jacob, And ye judges of the house of Israel, Is it not for you to know the judgment?
A OLELO aku la au, Ke noi aku nei au, e hoolohe oukou, e na luna o ka Iakoba, A, e na lunakanawai o ka hale o ka Iseraela, Aole anei no oukou ka ike i ka hoopono?
2 Ye who are hating good, and loving evil, Taking violently their skin from off them, And their flesh from off their bones,
Ke inaina nei oukou i ka maikai, a makemake i ka hewa; Ke lole nei i ko lakou ili mai o lakou aku, A me ka haehae i ko lakou io mai ko lakou mau iwi aku;
3 And who have eaten the flesh of My people, And their skin from off them have stript, And their bones they have broken, And they have spread [them] out as in a pot, And as flesh in the midst of a caldron.
Ka poe e ai ana i ka io o kuu poe kanaka, A hoolole i ko lakou ili mai o lakou aku, A hai iho i ko lakou mau iwi, A oki liilii ia lakou e like me ka mea no ka ipuhao, A e like hoi me ka io iloko o ka ipu keleawe.
4 Then do they cry unto Jehovah, And He doth not answer them, And hideth His face from them at that time, As they have made evil their doings.
Alaila, e kahea aku lakou ia Iehova, aka, aole ia e hoolohe mai ia lakou; A e huna no ia i kona maka mai o lakou aku i kela manawa, No ka mea, ua hana hewa lakou ma ko lakou noonoo ana.
5 Thus said Jehovah concerning the prophets Who are causing My people to err, Who are biting with their teeth, And have cried 'Peace,' And he who doth not give unto their mouth, They have sanctified against him war.
Peneia i olelo mai ai o Iehova no na kaula, ka poe i hooauwana i kuu poe kanaka, Ka poe i nahu me ko lakou niho, a kahea aku, Ua maluhia; A o ka mea haawi ole aku no ko lakou waha, Hoomakaukau no lakou i ke kaua ia ia.
6 Therefore a night ye have without vision, And darkness ye have without divination, And gone in hath the sun on the prophets, And black over them hath been the day.
No ia hoi, e hiki mai ai ka po ia oukou, aohe hihio; A ia oukou ka pouli, aohe wanana; A e napoo ana ka la maluna o na kaula, A he pouli ke ao maluna o lakou.
7 And ashamed have been the seers, And confounded have been the diviners, And covered their lip have all of them, For their is no answer, O God.
Alaila, e hilahila na mea ike, a e pilihua ka poe wanana; A e uhi lakou a pau i ko lakou lehelehe; no ka mea, aole ke Akua i hoike mai.
8 And yet I have been full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah, And of judgment, and of might, To declare to Jacob his transgression, And to Israel his sin.
Aka hoi, ua piha wau i ka mana ma ka Uhane o Iehova, a me ka pono, a me ka ikaika, E hai aku ia Iakoba i kona hala, a i ka Iseraela i kona hewa.
9 Hear this, I pray you, heads of the house of Jacob, And ye judges of the house of Israel, Who are making judgment abominable, And all uprightness do pervert.
Ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, e hoolohe i keia, e na luna o ka Iakoba, A me na lunakanawai o ka Iseraela, Ka poe e hoowahawaha ana i ka pono, a e hoololi ana i ka pololei a pau.
10 Building up Zion with blood, And Jerusalem with iniquity.
Ua kukulu lakou ia Ziona me ke koko, A ia Ierusalema me ka hewa.
11 Her heads for a bribe do judge, And her priests for hire do teach, And her prophets for silver divine, And on Jehovah they lean, saying, 'Is not Jehovah in our midst? Evil doth not come in upon us.'
Ua hooponopono ka luna ona no ka uku, A ua ao aku kana mau kahuna no ke kumu, A ua wanana kana mau kaula no ke kala; Aka, e hilinai lakou maluna o Iehova, i ka i ana'e, Aole anei o Iehova iwaena o kakou? Aole e hiki mai ka ino maluna o kakou.
12 Therefore, for your sake, Zion is ploughed a field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mount of the house [is] for high places of a forest!
Nolaila, no oukou e hooopalauia o Ziona me he kihapai la, A e lilo o Ierusalema i mau puu, A o ka mauna o ka hale e like me na wahi kiekie o ka ululaau.
