Mika 4
1 A I na la mahope e hookupaaia ka mauna o ka hale o Iehova, maluna o na mauna, A e hookiekieia oia maluna o na puu; a e holo na kanaka i ona la.
But it shall come to pass in the last days That the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established at the head of the mountains, And exalted above the hills; And the nations shall flow to it.
2 A e hele na lahuikanaka he nui, a e olelo aku, E hele mai, a e pii aku kakou i ka mauna o Iehova, A i ka hale o ke Akua o Iakoba; A e ao mai ia ia kakou i kona mau aoao, A e hele kakou ma kona mau alanui; No ka mea, e hele ke kanawai mai Ziona aku, A o ka olelo a Iehova mai Ierusalema aku.
And many nations shall go, saying, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, To the house of the God of Jacob, That he may teach us his ways, And that we may walk in his paths!” For from Zion shall go forth a law, And the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
3 A e hooponopono no ia iwaena o na kanaka he nui, A e ao aku i na lahuikanaka ikaika, loihi loa aku; A e kui lakou i ka lakou mau pahikaua i oopalau, A i ka lakou mau ihe i pahipaipai: Aole e hapai ka lahuikanaka i ka pahikaua ku e i ka lahuikanaka, Aole hoi e ao hou lakou i ke kaua.
He shall be a judge of many nations, And an umpire of many kingdoms afar off. They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, And their spears into pruning-hooks; Nation shall not lift up the sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war any more.
4 A e noho kela kanaka keia kanaka malalo o kona kumuwaina, a malalo o kona laau fiku, Aohe mea nana e hoomakau mai; No ka mea, o ka waha o Iehova o na kaua, ka i olelo mai.
But they shall sit every one under his vine, And under his fig-tree, And none shall make them afraid; The mouth of Jehovah of hosts hath spoken it.
5 No ka mea, e hele na kanaka a pau, o kela kanaka keia kanaka ma ka inoa o kona akua, A e hele kakou ma ka inoa o Iehova ko kakou Akua, ia ao aku ia ao aku.
Though all the nations walk every one in the name of its God, Yet will we walk in the name of Jehovah our God for ever and ever.
6 I kela la, wahi a Iehova, houluulu au i ka mea oopa, A e hoakoakoa i ka mea i hookukeia'ku, a i ka mea a'u i hookaumaha ai:
In that day, saith Jehovah, I will gather the halting, And the far scattered I will assemble, And those whom I have afflicted.
7 A e hoolilo au i ka mea oopa i koena, A i ka mea i hookuke loihi ia'ku, i lahuikanaka ikaika; A e noho alii o Iehova maluna o lakou ma ka mauna o Ziona, mai ia manawa aku, a i ka wa mau loa aku no.
I will make the halting a remnant, And the far scattered a strong nation; And Jehovah shall reign over them in mount Zion, Henceforth, even forever.
8 A o oe, e ka halekiai o ka poe holoholona, Ka puu o ke kaikamahine a Ziona, E hele mai no ia iou la, O ke alii ana mamua; E hele mai ke aupuni i ke kaikamahine o Ierusalema.
And thou, O tower of the flock, O hill of the daughter of Zion, to thee it shall come, To thee shall come the former dominion, Even the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Ano, no ke aha la kou uwe nui ana? Aole anei he alii iloko ou? Ua make anei kou kakaolelo? No ka mea, ua loohia oe e ka eha, e like me ka wahine nahukuakoko.
And now why dost thou cry aloud? Is there no king within thee? Have thy counsellors perished, That pangs have taken hold of thee, as of a woman in travail?
10 E haalulu, a e kuakoko, e ke kaikamahine o Ziona, me he wahine hanau la: No ka mea, ano e hele aku oe mai ke kulanakauhale aku, A e noho oe ma ke kula, A e hele aku oe a Babulona; A malaila e hoopakeleia oe; Malaila e hoola mai ai o Iehova ia oe mai ka lima mai o ko oukou poe enemi.
Yea, writhe, and be in anguish, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail! For now shalt thou go forth from the city, and dwell in the field; Thou shalt go even to Babylon; Yet there shalt thou be delivered. Jehovah will redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
11 Ano hoi, ua nui na lahuikanaka i akoakoa ku e mai ia oe, Ka mea e olelo ana, E hoohaumiaia oia, a e nana aku ko kakou maka i Ziona.
Now many nations gather themselves against thee, Who say, Let her be polluted, And let our eyes gaze upon Zion!
12 Aka, aole lakou i ike i na manao o Iehova, Aole i ike lakou i kona noonoo ana: No ka mea, e hoakoakoa oia ia lakou, me he pua la ma kahi hehi palaoa.
But they know not the thoughts of Jehovah, And understand not his purposes; For he gathereth them as sheaves into the thrashing-floor.
13 E ku iluna, a e hehi iho, e ke kaikamahine o Ziona; No ka mea, o hoolilo aku au i kou pepeiaohao i hao, A e hoolilo hoi au i kou mau maiuu wawae i keleawe: A e kui iho oe a liilii na kanaka he nui: A e hoolaa aku au i ka lakou loaa no Iehova, A i ko lakou waiwai no ka Haku o ka honua a pau.
Arise and thrash, O daughter of Zion! For I will make thy horns iron, And thy hoofs brass; Thou shalt beat in pieces many nations, And thou shalt devote their spoils to Jehovah, Their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
