Micah 7
1 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat; my soul desireth the first-ripe fig.
A UWE ia'u! no ka mea, ua like au me ka ohi ai ana o ke kau, E like me na koena huawaina o ka ohi ana: Aohe huhui e ai ai; makemake iho la kuu naau i ka hua fiku mua.
2 The godly man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
Ua nalo ka mea lokomaikai mai ka aina aku: Aohe mea pono iwaena o na kanaka; Ke hoohalua nei lakou a pau no ke koko: Hoohei iho lakou, o kela mea keia mea i kona hoahanau, i ka upena.
3 Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asketh, and the judge [is ready] for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth the evil desire of his soul: thus they weave it together.
Hana hewa ikaika hoi lakou me na lima; Noi aku ka luna, a me ka lunakanawai i uku: A o ke kanaka nui, oia ke hoike aku i ka makemake o kona naau; Pela no lakou e huikau ai ia mea.
4 The best of them is as a brier; the most upright is [worse] than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen, even thy visitation, is come; now shall be their perplexity.
O ka mea maikai o lakou ua like me ka laau ooi; A o ka mea pono, ua oioi ia mamua o ka palaau oioi. O ka la o kou poe kiai, a o kou hoopai ana, e hiki mai no ia; Ano e hiki mai ai ko lakou popilikia.
5 Trust ye not in a neighbor; put ye not confidence in a friend; keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
Mai hilinai oukou i ka makamaka, Mai paulele i ka hoalauna: E hoopaa i ka puka o kou waha mai ka mea e moe ana ma kou poli.
6 For the son dishonoreth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
No ka mea, hoowahawaha ke keikikane i kona makuakane, Ku e mai ke kaikamahine i kona makuwahine, O ka hunonawahine i kona makuahunowaiwahine, O na enemi o ke kanaka, o na kanaka no ia o kona hale iho.
7 But as for me, I will look unto Jehovah; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
A e nana aku au ia Iehova: E kali aku au i ke Akua o kuu ola; E hoolohe mai ko'u Akua ia'u.
8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, Jehovah will be a light unto me.
Mai hauoli oe maluna o'u, e ko'u enemi: No ka mea, a i haule iho au, e ala hou ae no: A i noho au i ka pouli, o Iehova ka malamalama no'u.
9 I will bear the indignation of Jehovah, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, [and] I shall behold his righteousness.
E hoomanawanui no au i ka inaina o Iehova, No ka mea, ua hana hewa no au ia ia, A hoapono mai ia i ka'u mea, A e hoopai aku no ia no'u; A lawe mai no ia ia'u iwaho i ka malamalama, A e ike aku au i kona pono.
10 Then mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her who said unto me, Where is Jehovah thy God? Mine eyes shall see [my desire] upon her; now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
A e ike kou enemi ia mea, A e uhi mai ka hilahila i ka mea i olelo mai ai ia'u, Auhea o Iehova kou Akua? E ike auanei ko'u mau maka ia ia: Ano e hehiia oia ilalo, e like me ka lepo o na alanui.
11 A day for building thy walls! in that day shall the decree be far removed.
I ka la e hanaia'i kou mau papohaku, Ia la e lawe loa ia'ku ke kanawai.
12 In that day shall they come unto thee from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and [from] mountain to mountain.
Ia la e hele mai ia i ou la mai Asuria mai, a i Aigupita, A mai Aigupita a ka muliwai, A mai ke kai a ke kai, A mai ka mauna a ka mauna.
13 Yet shall the land be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
Aka, e lilo ka aina i neoneo no ka poe e noho ana iloko, A no ka hua o ka lakou mau hana.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy heritage, which dwell solitarily, in the forest in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
E hanai oe i kou poe kanaka me kou kookoo, Ka poe o kou hooilina, ka poe e noho mehameha ana ma ka ululaau, iwaena o Karemela: E ai lakou ma Basana, a ma Gileada, e like me ka manawa kahiko.
15 As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt will I show unto them marvellous things.
E like me na la o kou puka ana, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, E hoike aku au ia ia i na mea kupanaha.
16 The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might; they shall lay their hand upon their mouth; their ears shall be deaf.
E ike mai na lahuikanaka, a e hilahila no ko lakou ikaika a pau; A e kau lakou i ka lima maluna o ka waha, E kuli hoi ko lakou mau pepeiao.
17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent; like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their close places; they shall come with fear unto Jehovah our God, and shall be afraid because of thee.
E palu lakou i ka lepo me he nahesa la, E kolo lakou mai ka lakou mau lua mai, e like me na mea kolo o ka honua, E weliweli lakou ia Iehova ko kakou Akua, A e makau lakou nou.
18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth over the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in lovingkindness.
Owai la ke Akua e like me oe, e kala ana i ka hewa, A e maalo ae ana i ka hala o ke koena o kona hooilina? Aole ia e hoomau loa aku i kona inaina, No ka mea, ke makemake nei no ia i ke aloha.
19 He will again have compassion upon us; he will tread our iniquities under foot; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
E hoi hou mai no ia, a e aloha mai no ia ia kakou; A hehi ilalo no ia i ko kakou mau hewa; A e hoolei aku oe i ko lakou hewa a pau iloko o ka hohonu o ke kai.
20 Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, [and] the lovingkindness to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
A e haawi mai no oe i ka oiaio ia Iakoba, a me ka lokomaikai ia Aberahama, Ka mea au i hoohiki ai i ko makou mau kupuna mai ka wa kahiko mai.
