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.
In the days to come the mountain of the Lord will be established, the house of our God on the top of the mountain, lifted above the hills. All the nations will 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 peoples will go and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mount, to the house of the God of Jacob, so that he may instruct us in his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.’ For from Zion proceeds instruction and the Lord’s word 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 will arbitrate between many peoples, and render decisions for numerous nations, They will beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, they will learn war no 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.
They will live each under his vine, and under his fig tree, with none to terrify them. For the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.
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.
Each nation trusts in the names of their gods, but we will worship the Lord our God forever.
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:
‘On that day,’ says the Lord, ‘I will assemble the lame. I will gather exiles I punished.
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 restore the lame as a remnant, the exiles into a great nation. The Lord will rule over them on Mount Zion from that time 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.
But you, watchtower for the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you will return your former rule.
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.
So why do you now cry aloud? Haven’t you any king? Or has your counsellor perished, so you writhe in pain like a woman in labour?
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.
Writhe and scream, daughter of Zion, like a woman in labour! For now you must leave the city and camp in the open field. You will be taken to Babylon, but there will be rescued. There the Lord will save you from the hands of your foes.
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.
But now many nations gather against you. They say, ‘Let her be defiled, we will gloat over 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 do not know the thoughts of the Lord. They do not understand his plan, for he has gathered them like sheaves for the threshing 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, thresh, daughter of Zion. I will make your horns iron, and your hoofs brass, so you might beat in pieces many peoples, and devote to the Lord their spoil, and their wealth to the ruler of all the earth.
