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.
Meanwhile, shalt thou gather together in troops, thou daughter of a troop, siege, hath he laid against us, —with a sceptre, will they smite on the cheek, the judge of Israel!
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.
Thou, therefore, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though, little, to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee, shall Mine come forth, to be ruler in Israel, —whose comings forth, have been from of old, from the days of age-past time.
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, will he give them up, until the time when, one who is to bring forth, hath brought forth, —and, the remainder of his brethren, return unto 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.
Then shall he stand, and tend his flock in the strength of Yahweh, In the excellency of the name of Yahweh his God, have they endured, —For, now, shall he be great unto 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.
So shall this one be Prosperity. As for Assyria—when he shall enter our land, and when he shall tread down in our palaces, then will we raise up against him, seven shepherds, and eight princes of mankind.
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.
Then shall they shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof, —So shall he deliver from Assyria, when he shall enter our land, and when he shall tread down within our bounds.
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, shall be, in the midst of many peoples, as dew from Yahweh, as myriad drops on plants, —which tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of Adam.
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.
And, the remnant of Jacob, shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the jungle, as a young lion among flocks of sheep, —who, if he passeth by, both treadeth down—and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
9 E hookiekieia kou lima maluna o kou poe ku e mai, A e hookiia'ku kou poe enemi a pau.
Let thy hand be uplifted against thine adversaries, —and, all thine enemies, shall be 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 shall come to pass, in that day, Declareth Yahweh, That I will cut off thy horses out of thy midst, —and will destroy thy 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 will cut off the cities of thy land, —and will pull down all thy fortresses;
12 A e oki aku i ka poe anaana mai kou lima aku, Aole oe e malama hou i na kupua.
And will cut off incantations, out of thy hand, —and, users of hidden arts, shalt thou not have;
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 will cut off thine images and thy pillars out of thy midst, —and thou shalt not bow thyself down, any more, to the work of thine own 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 will uproot thy Sacred Stems out of thy midst, —and will destroy thy cities:
15 A e hoopai aku au me ka huhu a me ka inaina i na lahuikanaka, Ka mea a lakou i lohe ole ai.
Then will I execute, with anger and with indignation, vengeance upon the nations, —of which they have not heard.
