Mika 3
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English Bible
1A OLELO aku la au, Ke noi aku nei au, e hoolohe oukou, e na luna o ka Iakoba, A, e na lunakanawai o ka hale o ka Iseraela, Aole anei no oukou ka ike i ka hoopono?
1I said, “Please listen, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: Isn’t it for you to know justice?
2Ke inaina nei oukou i ka maikai, a makemake i ka hewa; Ke lole nei i ko lakou ili mai o lakou aku, A me ka haehae i ko lakou io mai ko lakou mau iwi aku;
2You who hate the good, and love the evil; who tear off their skin, and their flesh from off their bones;
3Ka poe e ai ana i ka io o kuu poe kanaka, A hoolole i ko lakou ili mai o lakou aku, A hai iho i ko lakou mau iwi, A oki liilii ia lakou e like me ka mea no ka ipuhao, A e like hoi me ka io iloko o ka ipu keleawe.
3who also eat the flesh of my people, and peel their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as meat within the cauldron.
4Alaila, e kahea aku lakou ia Iehova, aka, aole ia e hoolohe mai ia lakou; A e huna no ia i kona maka mai o lakou aku i kela manawa, No ka mea, ua hana hewa lakou ma ko lakou noonoo ana.
4Then they will cry to the LORD, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil.”
5Peneia i olelo mai ai o Iehova no na kaula, ka poe i hooauwana i kuu poe kanaka, Ka poe i nahu me ko lakou niho, a kahea aku, Ua maluhia; A o ka mea haawi ole aku no ko lakou waha, Hoomakaukau no lakou i ke kaua ia ia.
5The LORD says concerning the prophets who lead my people astray—for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, “Peace!” and whoever doesn’t provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:
6No ia hoi, e hiki mai ai ka po ia oukou, aohe hihio; A ia oukou ka pouli, aohe wanana; A e napoo ana ka la maluna o na kaula, A he pouli ke ao maluna o lakou.
6“Therefore night is over you, with no vision, and it is dark to you, that you may not divine; and the sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will be black over them.
7Alaila, e hilahila na mea ike, a e pilihua ka poe wanana; A e uhi lakou a pau i ko lakou lehelehe; no ka mea, aole ke Akua i hoike mai.
7The seers shall be disappointed, and the diviners confounded. Yes, they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer from God.”
8Aka hoi, ua piha wau i ka mana ma ka Uhane o Iehova, a me ka pono, a me ka ikaika, E hai aku ia Iakoba i kona hala, a i ka Iseraela i kona hewa.
8But as for me, I am full of power by the LORD’s Spirit, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his disobedience, and to Israel his sin.
9Ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, e hoolohe i keia, e na luna o ka Iakoba, A me na lunakanawai o ka Iseraela, Ka poe e hoowahawaha ana i ka pono, a e hoololi ana i ka pololei a pau.
9Please listen to this, you heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice, and pervert all equity,
10Ua kukulu lakou ia Ziona me ke koko, A ia Ierusalema me ka hewa.
10who build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11Ua hooponopono ka luna ona no ka uku, A ua ao aku kana mau kahuna no ke kumu, A ua wanana kana mau kaula no ke kala; Aka, e hilinai lakou maluna o Iehova, i ka i ana'e, Aole anei o Iehova iwaena o kakou? Aole e hiki mai ka ino maluna o kakou.
11Her leaders judge for bribes, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money; yet they lean on the LORD, and say, “Isn’t the LORD among us? No disaster will come on us.”
12Nolaila, no oukou e hooopalauia o Ziona me he kihapai la, A e lilo o Ierusalema i mau puu, A o ka mauna o ka hale e like me na wahi kiekie o ka ululaau.
12Therefore Zion for your sake will be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps of rubble, and the mountain of the temple like the high places of a forest.
