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.

Now you shall gather yourself in troops, daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.

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.

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come forth to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.

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 he will abandon them until the time that she who is in labor gives birth. Then the rest of his brothers will return to the children 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.

He shall stand, and shall shepherd in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God: and they will live, for then he will be great to the farthest parts 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.

He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land, and when he marches through our fortresses, then we will raise against him seven shepherds, and eight leaders of men.

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.

They will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the drawn sword. He will deliver us from the Assyrian, when he invades our land, and when he marches within our border.

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.

The remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples, like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, that do not wait for man, nor wait for the sons of men.

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.

The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep; who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.

9 E hookiekieia kou lima maluna o kou poe ku e mai, A e hookiia'ku kou poe enemi a pau.

Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, and let all of your enemies 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:

"It will happen in that day," says the LORD, "That I will cut off your horses out of the midst of you, and will destroy your chariots.

11 A e oki aku au i na kulanakauhale e kou aina, A e hoohiolo au i kou mau wahi paa a pau:

I will cut off the cities of your land, and will tear down all your strongholds.

12 A e oki aku i ka poe anaana mai kou lima aku, Aole oe e malama hou i na kupua.

I will destroy witchcraft from your hand; and you shall have no soothsayers.

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.

I will cut off your engraved images and your pillars out of your midst; and you shall no more worship the work of your 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.

I will uproot your Asherim out of your midst; and I will destroy your 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.

I will execute vengeance in anger, and wrath on the nations that did not listen."
