Mika 6
1 E HOOLOHE mai oukou ano i ka mea a Iehova i olelo mai ai; E ku iluna, e hakaka imua o na mauna, A e hoolohe na puu i kou leo.
Now listen to what Yahweh says, “Arise and state your case before the mountains; let the hills hear your voice.
2 A hoolohe oukou, e na mauna i ka hoopaapaa o Iehova, A me oukou na kumu paa o ka honua: No ka mea, he hoopaapaa ko Iehova me kona poe kanaka, A e hoopaapaa no ia me ka Iseraela.
Listen to Yahweh's lawsuit, you mountains, and you enduring foundations of the earth. For Yahweh has a lawsuit with his people, and he will fight in court against Israel.”
3 E kuu poe kanaka, heaha ka'u i hana aku ai ia oe? Heaha ka'u i hooluhi ai ia oe? e hoike mai ia'u.
“My people, what have I done to you? How have I wearied you? Testify against me!
4 No ka mea, ua lawe mai au ia oe mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, A ua hoola au ia oe mai ka hale o na kauwa mai; A ua hoouna aku au imua ou ia Mose, ia Aarona, a me Miriama.
For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and rescued you out of the house of bondage. I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to you.
5 E kuu poe kanaka, e hoomanao ano i ka mea a Balaka, ke alii o Moaba, i noonoo ai, A i ka mea hoi a Balaama ke keiki a Beora i olelo mai ai ia ia, mai Sitima mai a Gilegala; I ike oukou i ka pono o Iehova.
My people, remember what Balak king of Moab devised, and how Balaam son of Beor answered him as you went from Shittim to Gilgal, so you may know the righteous acts of Yahweh.”
6 Me ke aha la wau e hele aku ai imua o Iehova, A kulou iho imua o ke Akua kiekie? E hele anei au imua ona me na mohai kuni, Me na keiki bipi o ka makahiki hookahi?
What should I bring to Yahweh, as I bow down to the high God? Should I come to him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
7 E oluolu anei o Iehova i na tausani hipa kane? A me ka umi tausani muliwai aila? E haawi anei au i kuu makahiapo no kuu hala, I ka hua o kuu kino no ka hewa o ko'u uhane.
Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand rivers of oil? Should I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for my own sin?
8 Ua hoike mai no ia ia oe, e ke kanaka, i ka mea maikai; A he aha ka mea a ke Akua i kauoha mai ai ia oe, Ke ole e hana i ka pono, a e aloha i ka lokomaikai, A e hoohaahaa i ka hele ana me ke Akua?
He has told you, man, what is good, and what Yahweh requires from you: Act justly, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God.
9 Ke kahea mai nei ka leo o Iehova i ke kulanakauhale, A o ka mea naauao e ike i kou inoa; E hoolohe oukou i ka hoopai aua, a me ka mea nana ia i hoike mai.
The voice of Yahweh is making a proclamation to the city— even now wisdom acknowledges your name: “Pay attention to the rod, and to the one who has put it in place.
10 Aole anei, i keia wa, na waiwai hewa ma ka hale o ka poe hewa, A me ka epa uuku e hoowahawahaia?
There is wealth in the houses of the wicked that is dishonest, and false measures that are abominable.
11 E maemae anei au me na mea kaupaona hewa, A me ka aa paona hoopunipuni?
Should I consider a person to be innocent if he uses fraudulent scales, with a bag of deceptive weights?
12 No ka mea, ua piha kona poe kanaka waiwai i ka hana ino, A ua olelo wahahee kona poe kanaka, A ua hoopunipuni ko lakou alelo ma ko lakou waha.
The rich men are full of violence, the inhabitants have spoken lies, and their tongue in their mouth is deceitful.
13 No ia hoi, e hoonawaliwali au ia oe, ma ka hahau ana ia oe, Ma ka hooneoneo ana ia oe no kou hewa.
Therefore I will strike you with a terrible blow, and I will make you desolate because of your sins.
14 A e ai iho oe, aole e maona; Aia no iloko ou ka maule ana; A e lawe aku oe, aole e hoopakele, A o ka mea au e hoopakele ai, oia ka'u e haawi aku no ka pahikaua.
You will eat but not be satisfied; your emptiness will remain inside you. You will store goods away but not save, and what you do save I will give to the sword.
15 E lulu iho no oe, aka, aole oe e ohi mai; E hehi iho oe i na oliva, aole nae e poniia oe i ka aila; A i ka waina hou, aole nae oe e inu i ka waina.
You will sow but not reap; you will tread the olives but not anoint yourselves with oil; you will press grapes but drink no wine.
16 No ka mea, ua malamaia na kanawai o Omeri, A me na hana a pau a ko ka hale o Ahaba, A ua hele oukou ma ko lakou manao; Nolaila, e hoolilo aku ai au ia oe i neoneo, A i kona poe kanaka i mea hoowahawahaia; A e lawe oukou i ka hoino o kuu poe kanaka.
The regulations made by Omri have been kept, and all the deeds of the house of Ahab. You walk by their advice. So I will make you, city, a ruin, and you inhabitants an object of hissing, and you will bear the reproach of my people.”
