< Mika 1 >

1 KA olelo a Iehova ka mea i hiki mai ia Mika no Moreseta, i na la o Iotama, Ahaza, a o Hezekia, na'lii o ka Iuda, ka mea ana i ike ai no Samaria, a no Ierusalema.
The LORD’s word that came to Micah of Morasheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 E hoolohe, e na kanaka a pau; E haliu mai, e ka honua, a me kona mea i piha ai: A e lilo o Iehova ka Haku i mea hoike ku e ia oukou, O ka Haku mai kona luakini hoano mai.
Hear, you peoples, all of you! Listen, O earth, and all that is therein. Let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
3 No ka mea, aia hoi, e hele mai o Iehova mai kona wahi mai, A e iho ilalo a e hehi maluna o na wahi kiekie o ka honua.
For behold, the LORD comes out of his place, and will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
4 A hehee na mauna malalo iho ona, A e wahiia na awawa, E like me ke kepau imua o ke ahi, A me ka wai i nininiia ma kahi pali.
The mountains melt under him, and the valleys split apart like wax before the fire, like waters that are poured down a steep place.
5 No ka lawehala ana o ka Iakoba keia mea a pau, a no na hewa o ko ka hale o Iseraela. He aha ka hala o ka Iakoba? aole anei o Samaria? A owai na wahi kiekie o Iuda? aole anei o Ierusalema?
“All this is for the disobedience of Jacob, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the disobedience of Jacob? Isn’t it Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Aren’t they Jerusalem?
6 A e hoohalike au ia Samaria me he puu la o ke kula, A me he wahi kanu la no ka pawaina; A e hoolei iho au i na pohaku ona ma ke awawa, A e hoike aku au i kona mau kahua.
Therefore I will make Samaria like a rubble heap of the field, like places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down its stones into the valley, and I will uncover its foundations.
7 A e ulupaia kona mau kii kalai a pau, A o kona waiwai moe kolohe e puhiia i ke ahi, A e luku aku au i kona mau kii a pau: No ka mea, ua loaa ia ia ua mea la no ka uku o ka wahine moe kolohe, A e hoihoiia aku ia i ka uku o ka wahine moe kolohe.
All her idols will be beaten to pieces, all her temple gifts will be burnt with fire, and I will destroy all her images; for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return.”
8 No keia mea, e auwe iho au, a e aoa, A e hele wale au, me ke kapa aahu ole; E hoohalike au i ka auwe ana me ko ka ilio hihiu, A i ka alala ana me ko ka iana wahine.
For this I will lament and wail. I will go stripped and naked. I will howl like the jackals and mourn like the ostriches.
9 No ka mea, o kona eha he eha make ia, a ua hiki mai ia i ka Iuda; Ua hiki mai i ka pukapa o kou poe kanaka, a i Ierusalema.
For her wounds are incurable; for it has come even to Judah. It reaches to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Mai hai aku oukou ia ma Gata, mai auwe oukou i ka auwe ana; Ma ka hale o Apera e kau i ka lepo maluna iho ou.
Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t weep at all. At Beth Ophrah I have rolled myself in the dust.
11 E hele aku oe, e ka mea e noho ana ma Sapira, me kou hilahila uhi ole; Aole i hele mai iwaho ka mea o noho ana ma Zaanana, ma ka auwe ana o Betezela; E lawe no ia i kona noho ana mai o oukou aku.
Pass on, inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan won’t come out. The wailing of Beth Ezel will take from you his protection.
12 No ka mea, o ka mea e noho ana ma Marota, ua nawaliwali ia no ka iini i ka maikai; Aka, iho mai la ka ino mai Iehova mai ma ka pukapa o Ierusalema.
For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 E ka mea o noho la ma Lakisa, e hoopaa i ka halekaa i ka lio mama; Oia ke poo o ka hewa no ke kaikamahine o Ziona; No ka mea, ua loaa na lawehala o ka Iseraela iloko ou.
Harness the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14 No ia mea, e haawi aku oe i na makana no Moresetagata: E lilo na hale o Akeziba i mea hoopunipuni no na'lii o ka Iseraela.
Therefore you will give a parting gift to Moresheth Gath. The houses of Achzib will be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.
15 Aka hoi, e lawe mai no au i hooilina nou, e ka mea e noho ana ma Maresa: A e hele mai ka nani o ka Iseraela i Adulama.
I will yet bring a conqueror to you, inhabitants of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
16 E hooohule oe, a e ako i ke oho no na keiki o kou makemake; E hoomahuahua oe i kou ohule ana, e like me ka aeto; No ka mea, ua hele pio aku la lakou mai ou aku la.
Shave your heads, and cut off your hair for the children of your delight. Enlarge your baldness like the vulture, for they have gone into captivity from you!
