Mika 3
1 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?
I also said: ‘Listen now, leaders of Jacob, judges of the house of Israel. Is it not your duty to know what is the right?
2 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;
Haters of that which is good and lovers of evil!
3 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.
‘They devour the flesh of my people, and their hide they strip from off them, and break in pieces and serve up their bones, like meat in a pot or the cooking pan!
4 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.
‘Then they will cry out to the Lord, but he will not pay attention to them. He will hide his face from them at that time because they have committed such crimes.’
5 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.
Therefore the Lord says: ‘To the prophets who lead my people astray, who when they have food between their teeth declare peace, but against one who puts nothing in their mouths, they proclaim an open war!
6 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.
‘Night will overtake you so that you have no vision, and darkness so that there will be no divination, and the sun will go down on the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
7 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.
‘The seers will be ashamed, and the diviners will turn pale, all of them will cover their mouths. For there will be no answer from God.
8 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.
‘But I, on the contrary am full of power, and the sense of justice and strength, to make known to Jacob his crime, and to Israel his sin.
9 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.
‘Hear this, leaders of the house of Jacob, judges of the house of Israel, you who spurn justice, and make all that is straight crooked,
10 Ua kukulu lakou ia Ziona me ke koko, A ia Ierusalema me ka hewa.
who build Zion with acts of bloodshed, and Jerusalem with crime.
11 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.
‘The leaders render judgment for a bribe, and her priests give oracles for a reward, and her prophets divine for silver. Yet they claim to rely on the Lord, “The Lord”, they say, “is in our midst. Evil cannot overtake us.”
12 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.
‘Therefore for your sakes Zion will be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins, and the temple mount a wooded height.’
