Mika 5
1 A NO, e hoakoakoaia oe, e ke kaikamahine o ka poe hao wale; ua hoopilikiaia kakou; E hahau mai lakou i ka lunakanawai o ka Iseraela me ke kookoo ma ka papalina.
Now gather yourself together, O daughter of troops, He has laid a siege against us, They strike [the] judge of Israel on the cheek with a rod.
2 A o oe, Betelehema Eperata, Ka mea uuku iwaena o na tausani o Iuda, Mailoko mai ou e hele mai ai io'u nei, Ka mea e alii ana iloko o ka Iseraela; Mamua mai kona puka ana, mai ka manawa kahiko loa mai.
“And you, Beth-Lehem Ephratah, Little to be among the chiefs of Judah! From you He comes forth to Me—to be ruler in Israel, And His comings forth [are] of old, From the days of antiquity.”
3 No ia hoi, e hoolilo aku oia ia lakou, a hiki i ka manawa e hanau ai ka mea e hanau ana: Alaila hoi, e hoi hou mai ke koena o kona mau hoahanau i na mamo a Iseraela.
Therefore He gives them up until the time she who brings forth has brought forth, And the remnant of His brothers return to the sons of Israel.
4 A e ku mai no ia, e hanai ma ka ikaika o Iehova, Ma ka mana o ka inoa o Iehova kona Akua; A e noho iho lakou; no ka mea, ano e nui auanei oia a hiki i na palena o ka honua.
And He has stood and delighted in the strength of YHWH, In the excellence of the Name of His God YHWH, And they have remained, For now He is great to the ends of the earth.
5 A oia ka mea e maluhia'i, I ka manawa e hele mai ai ko Asuria, ma ko kakou aina; A i ka wa e hele ai ia iloko o ko kakou mau halealii, Alaila, e hooku e kakou ia ia i na kahuhipa ehiku, A me na'lii, na kanaka ewalu.
And this [One] has been peace. Asshur, when he comes into our land, And when he treads in our palaces, We have raised against him seven shepherds, And eight anointed of man.
6 A e ai lakou i ka aina o Asuria, me ka pahikaua, A i ka aina o Nimeroda ma kona mau wahi komo; A e hoopakele no ia mai ko Suria mai, I ka wa e komo mai ia iloko o ko kakou aina, A i ka wa e hehi iho ia maloko o ko kakou mau mokuna.
And they have afflicted the land of Asshur with the sword, And the land of Nimrod at its openings, And He has delivered from Asshur when he comes into our land, And when he treads in our borders.
7 A o ke koena o Iakoba iwaena o na lahuikanaka he nui, E like ia me ka hau mai o Iehova mai, Me ka ua maluna o ka weuweu, Ka mea kali ole no ke kanaka, Aohe hoi e hookaulua no ke keiki a ke kanaka.
And the remnant of Jacob has been in the midst of many peoples, As dew from YHWH—as showers on the herb, That does not wait for man, nor stays for the sons of men.
8 A lilo ke koena o Iakoba iwaena o ko na aina e, Iwaena o na lahuikanaka he nui, e like me ka liona iwaena o na holoholona o ka ululaau, E like me ka liona opio iwaena o ka ohana hipa; No ka mea, i kona hele ana'e, hehi iho ilalo, a e haehae wale, aohe mea nana e hoopakele.
Indeed, the remnant of Jacob has been among nations, In the midst of many peoples, As a lion among beasts of a forest, As a young lion among ranks of a flock, Which if it has passed through, Has both trodden down and has torn, And there is no deliverer.
9 E hookiekieia kou lima maluna o kou poe ku e mai, A e hookiia'ku kou poe enemi a pau.
High is your hand above your adversaries, And all your enemies are cut off.
10 A i kela manawa, wahi a Iehova, E oki aku au i kou poe lio mai waena mai ou, A e luku aku au i kou poe halekaa:
“And it has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of YHWH, “I have cut off your horses from your midst, And I have destroyed your chariots,
11 A e oki aku au i na kulanakauhale e kou aina, A e hoohiolo au i kou mau wahi paa a pau:
And I have cut off the cities of your land, And I have thrown down all your fortresses,
12 A e oki aku i ka poe anaana mai kou lima aku, Aole oe e malama hou i na kupua.
And have cut off sorcerers out of your hand, And observers of clouds—you have none.
13 A e oki aku au i kou mau kii kalaiia, A i kou mau kii mai waena mai ou, Aole hoi oe e hoomana hou aku i ka hana a kou mau lima.
And I have cut off your carved images, And your standing-pillars out of your midst, And you do not bow yourself anymore To the work of your hands.
14 A e hookuke aku au i kou mau kii akua mai waena mai ou, A e luku aku au i kou mau kulanakauhale.
And I have plucked up your Asherim out of your midst, And I have destroyed your enemies.
15 A e hoopai aku au me ka huhu a me ka inaina i na lahuikanaka, Ka mea a lakou i lohe ole ai.
And I have done vengeance in anger and in fury, With the nations who have not listened!”
