Mika 2
1 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.
Woe to you that devise that which is unprofitable, and work evil in your beds: in the morning light they execute it, because their hand is against God.
2 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.
And they have coveted fields, and taken them by violence, and houses they have forcibly taken away: and oppressed a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.
3 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.
Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold, I devise an evil against this family: from which you shall not withdraw your necks, and you shall not walk haughtily, for this is a very evil time.
4 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;
In that day a parable shall be taken up upon you, and a song shall be sung with melody by them that say: We are laid waste and spoiled: the portion of my people is changed: how shall he depart from me, whereas he is returning that will divide our land?
5 Nolaila, aohe ou mea nana e hoolei ke kaula ma ka hailona, iloko o ka ahakanaka o Iehova.
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the cord of a lot in the assembly of the Lord.
6 Mai hai aku i ka wanana; aole lakou e wanana ia lakou, aole e lawe i ka hilahila.
Speak ye not, saying: It shall not drop upon these, confusion shall not take them.
7 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?
The house of Jacob saith: Is the spirit of the Lord straitened, or are these his thoughts? Are not my words good to him that walketh uprightly?
8 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.
But my people, on the contrary, are risen up as an enemy: you have taken away the cloak off from the coat: and them that passed harmless you have turned to war.
9 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.
You have cast out the women of my people from their houses, in which they took delight: you have taken my praise for ever from their children.
10 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.
Arise ye, and depart, for there is no rest here for you. For that uncleanness of the land, it shall be corrupted with a grievous corruption.
11 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.
Would God I were not a man that hath the spirit, and that I rather spoke a lie: I will let drop to thee of wine, and of drunkenness: and it shall be this people upon whom it shall drop.
12 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.
I will assemble and gather together all of thee, O Jacob: I will bring together the remnant of Israel, I will put them together as a flock in the fold, as the sheep in the midst of the sheepcotes, they shall make a tumult by reason of the multitude of men.
13 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.
For he shall go up that shall open the way before them: they shall divide, and pass through the gate, and shall come in by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord at the head of them.
