< Micah 1 >

1 The Lord’s message which came to Micah of Morsheth in the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. The visions he saw about Samaria and Jerusalem.
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.
2 Listen, all you peoples! Pay attention, all you inhabitants of the earth! For the Lord God will be a witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple!
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.
3 The Lord is coming from his holy place, he descends and treads on the heights of the earth,
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.
4 so that the mountains melt beneath like wax in the presence of the fire, and the valleys break apart like water poured down a steep descent.
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.
5 All this is because of the crime of Jacob, and for the sin of the house of Israel. What was the crime of Jacob? Was it not Samaria? What is the sin of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
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?
6 ‘I will make Samaria a ruin in an open field, and a place where a vineyard is planted, I will hurl down her stones into the valley, and lay bare her foundations.
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.
7 ‘All her images will be shattered, and all her statues will be burned with fire, and all her idols I will lay in ruins. For they were acquired by prostitution, and to prostitution they will return.’
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.
8 This is why I will mourn and wail, I will go barefoot and naked, I will howl like the jackals and mourn like the desert owl.
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.
9 For the blow that Samaria has received is incurable. It has spread over Judah, it extends even to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
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.
10 Don’t tell this in Gath! Don’t even cry – but sit in the dust at Beth-leaphrah.
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.
11 Pass by, inhabitants of Shaphir, naked and ashamed! The inhabitants of Zaanan cannot leave their city. Beth-ezel laments and removes its support from you.
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.
12 The inhabitants of Maroth wait anxiously for good! But the Lord has sent disaster to the gates of Jerusalem.
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.
13 Harness the horse to the chariot, inhabitants of Lachish. You led the daughter of Zion, Jerusalem, into sin, in you are found the crimes of Israel.
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.
14 Therefore you must give parting gifts to Moresheth-gath. Beth-achzib will betray the kings of Israel.
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.
15 I will hand you to a conqueror, people of Mareshah, the leaders of Israel will hide in Adullam Cave!
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.
16 Shave your head in morning for the children you love, until you are bald as vultures, because they have left you for exile.
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.
