Mika 1
1 KA olelo a Iehova ka mea i hiki mai ia Mika no Moreseta, i na la o Iotama, Ahaza, a o Hezekia, na'lii o ka Iuda, ka mea ana i ike ai no Samaria, a no Ierusalema.
A word of YHWH that has been to Micah the Morashite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, that he has seen concerning Samaria and Jerusalem:
2 E hoolohe, e na kanaka a pau; E haliu mai, e ka honua, a me kona mea i piha ai: A e lilo o Iehova ka Haku i mea hoike ku e ia oukou, O ka Haku mai kona luakini hoano mai.
Hear, O peoples, all of them! Attend, O earth, and its fullness, And Lord YHWH is against you for a witness, The Lord from His holy temple.
3 No ka mea, aia hoi, e hele mai o Iehova mai kona wahi mai, A e iho ilalo a e hehi maluna o na wahi kiekie o ka honua.
For behold, YHWH is going out from His place, And He has come down, And has trodden on high places of earth.
4 A hehee na mauna malalo iho ona, A e wahiia na awawa, E like me ke kepau imua o ke ahi, A me ka wai i nininiia ma kahi pali.
The mountains have been melted under Him, And the valleys split themselves, As wax from the presence of fire, As waters cast down by a slope.
5 No ka lawehala ana o ka Iakoba keia mea a pau, a no na hewa o ko ka hale o Iseraela. He aha ka hala o ka Iakoba? aole anei o Samaria? A owai na wahi kiekie o Iuda? aole anei o Ierusalema?
For the transgression of Jacob [is] all this, And for the sins of the house of Israel. What [is] the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what the high places of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
6 A e hoohalike au ia Samaria me he puu la o ke kula, A me he wahi kanu la no ka pawaina; A e hoolei iho au i na pohaku ona ma ke awawa, A e hoike aku au i kona mau kahua.
“And I have set Samaria for a heap of the field, For plantations of a vineyard, And poured out into a valley her stones, And her foundations I uncover.
7 A e ulupaia kona mau kii kalai a pau, A o kona waiwai moe kolohe e puhiia i ke ahi, A e luku aku au i kona mau kii a pau: No ka mea, ua loaa ia ia ua mea la no ka uku o ka wahine moe kolohe, A e hoihoiia aku ia i ka uku o ka wahine moe kolohe.
And all her carved images are beaten down, And all her wages are burned with fire, And all her idols I make a desolation, For from the wage of a harlot she gathered, and to the wage of a harlot they return.”
8 No keia mea, e auwe iho au, a e aoa, A e hele wale au, me ke kapa aahu ole; E hoohalike au i ka auwe ana me ko ka ilio hihiu, A i ka alala ana me ko ka iana wahine.
For this I lament and howl, I go spoiled and naked, I make a lamentation like dragons, And a mourning like daughters of an ostrich.
9 No ka mea, o kona eha he eha make ia, a ua hiki mai ia i ka Iuda; Ua hiki mai i ka pukapa o kou poe kanaka, a i Ierusalema.
For mortal [are] her wounds, For it has come to Judah, It has come to a gate of My people—to Jerusalem.
10 Mai hai aku oukou ia ma Gata, mai auwe oukou i ka auwe ana; Ma ka hale o Apera e kau i ka lepo maluna iho ou.
In Gath do not tell—in Acco do not weep, In Beth-Aphrah, roll yourself in dust.
11 E hele aku oe, e ka mea e noho ana ma Sapira, me kou hilahila uhi ole; Aole i hele mai iwaho ka mea o noho ana ma Zaanana, ma ka auwe ana o Betezela; E lawe no ia i kona noho ana mai o oukou aku.
Pass over for you, O inhabitant of Shaphir, Naked one of shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan has not gone out, The lamentation of Beth-Ezel takes from you its standing.
12 No ka mea, o ka mea e noho ana ma Marota, ua nawaliwali ia no ka iini i ka maikai; Aka, iho mai la ka ino mai Iehova mai ma ka pukapa o Ierusalema.
For the inhabitant of Maroth has stayed for good, For calamity has come down from YHWH to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 E ka mea o noho la ma Lakisa, e hoopaa i ka halekaa i ka lio mama; Oia ke poo o ka hewa no ke kaikamahine o Ziona; No ka mea, ua loaa na lawehala o ka Iseraela iloko ou.
Bind the chariot to a swift beast, O inhabitant of Lachish, The beginning of sin [is] she to the daughter of Zion, For in you have been found the transgressions of Israel.
14 No ia mea, e haawi aku oe i na makana no Moresetagata: E lilo na hale o Akeziba i mea hoopunipuni no na'lii o ka Iseraela.
Therefore you give presents to Moresheth-Gath, The houses of Achzib become a lying thing to the kings of Israel.
15 Aka hoi, e lawe mai no au i hooilina nou, e ka mea e noho ana ma Maresa: A e hele mai ka nani o ka Iseraela i Adulama.
Yet I bring the possessor to you, O inhabitant of Mareshah, The glory of Israel comes to Adullam.
16 E hooohule oe, a e ako i ke oho no na keiki o kou makemake; E hoomahuahua oe i kou ohule ana, e like me ka aeto; No ka mea, ua hele pio aku la lakou mai ou aku la.
Make bald and shave, for your delightful sons, Enlarge your baldness as an eagle, For they have removed from you!
