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.
And the word of the Lord came to Michaeas the son of Morasthi, in the days of Joatham, and Achaz, and Ezekias, kings of Juda, concerning what he saw regarding 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 [these] words, ye people; and let the earth give heed, and all that are in it: and the Lord God shall be among you for a testimony, the Lord out of his holy habitation.
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 forth out of his place, and will come down, and will go upon 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.
And the mountains shall be shaken under him, and the valleys shall melt like wax before the fire, and as water rushing down a declivity.
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 these [calamities are] for the transgression of Jacob, and for the sin of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? [is it] not Samaria? and what is the sin of the house of Juda? [is it] not 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 [as] a store-house of the fruits of the field, and [as] a planting of a vineyard: and I will utterly demolish her stones, and I will expose her 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.
And they shall cut in pieces all the graven images, and all that she has hired they shall burn with fire, and I will utterly destroy all her idols: because she has gathered of the hires of fornication, and of the hires of fornication has she amassed [wealth].
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.
Therefore shall she lament and wail, she shall go barefooted, and [being] naked she shall make lamentation as [that] of serpents, and mourning as of the daughters of sirens.
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 plague has become grievous; for it has come even to Juda; and has reached 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.
Ye that are in Geth, exalt not yourselves, and ye Enakim, do not rebuild from [the ruins of] the house in derision: sprinkle dust [in the place of] your laughter.
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.
The inhabitant of Sennaar, fairly inhabiting her cities, came not forth to mourn for the house next to her: she shall receive of you the stroke of grief.
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.
Who has begun [to act] for good to her that dwells in sorrow? for calamities have come down from the Lord upon the gates 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.
[even] a sound of chariots and horsemen: the inhabitants of Lachis, she is the leader of sin to the daughter of Sion: for in thee were found the transgressions of Israel.
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 shall he cause men to be sent forth as far as the inheritance of Geth, [even] vain houses; they are become vanity 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.
until they bring the heirs, O inhabitant of Lachis: the inheritance shall reach to Odollam, [even] the glory of the daughter of Israel.
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 thine hair, and make thyself bald for thy delicate children; increase thy widowhood as an eagle; for [thy people] are gone into captivity from thee.
