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 those who plan iniquity, to those who plan on their beds to do evil. In the morning light they do it because they have power.
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.
They desire fields and seize them; they desire houses and take them. They oppress 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 Yahweh says this, “Look, I am about to bring disaster against this clan, from which you will not remove your necks. You will not walk arrogantly, for it will be an 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 men will sing a song about you, and lament with a wailing lamentation. They will sing, 'We Israelites are completely ruined; Yahweh changes the territory of my people. How can he remove it from me? He portions out our fields to traitors!'”
5 Nolaila, aohe ou mea nana e hoolei ke kaula ma ka hailona, iloko o ka ahakanaka o Iehova.
Therefore, you rich people will have no descendants to divide up the territory by lot in the assembly of Yahweh.
6 Mai hai aku i ka wanana; aole lakou e wanana ia lakou, aole e lawe i ka hilahila.
“Do not prophesy,” they say. “They must not prophesy these things; reproaches must not come.”
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?
Should it really be said, house of Jacob, “Is the Spirit of Yahweh angry? Are these really his deeds?” Do not my words do good to anyone who walks 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.
Lately my people have risen up like an enemy. You strip the robe, the garment, from those who pass by unsuspectingly, as soldiers return from war to what they think is safety.
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 drive the women belonging to my people from their pleasant houses; you take my blessing from their young children forever.
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.
Get up and leave, for this is not a place where you can stay, because of its uncleanness; it is destroyed with complete destruction.
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.
If someone comes to you in a spirit of falsehood and lies and says, “I will prophesy to you about wine and strong drink,” he would be considered to be a prophet for this people.
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 surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a fold, like a flock in the midst of their pasture. There will be a loud noise because of the multitude of people.
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.
Someone who breaks open their way for them will go ahead of them. They break through the gate and go out; their king will pass on before them. Yahweh will be at their head.
