< 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 word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite 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, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and 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 cometh forth from his place, and will come down, and tread 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 melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, [and] as the 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?
For the transgression of Jacob [is] all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What [is] the transgression of Jacob? [is it] not Samaria? and what [are] the high places of Judah? [are they] 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 heap of the field, [and] as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down her stones into the valley, and I will lay bare 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 all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burned with the fire, and all her idols will I lay desolate: for she gathered [it] from the hire of a harlot, and they shall return to the hire of a harlot.
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 I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
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 wound [is] incurable; for it is come to Judah; he is come 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.
Declare ye [it] not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself 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 ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame exposed: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth-ezel; he shall receive from you his standing.
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 waited anxiously for good: but evil came 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.
O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she [is] the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
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 shalt thou give presents to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib [shall be] a lie 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.
Yet will I bring an heir to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come to Adullam the glory 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.
Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
