Hosea 2
1 Say ye to your brothers, Ammi, and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
“Ke ke pehē ki ho ngaahi tokoua, ‘Ko ʻAmi,’ pea ki ho ngaahi tuofefine, ‘ko Luhama.’
2 Contend with your mother. Contend, for she is not my wife, nor am I her husband. And let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts,
Kole ki hoʻo faʻē, kole, he ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku uaifi ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ko hono husepāniti au: pea koeʻuhi ko ia, tuku ke ne ʻave ʻene feʻauaki mei hono ʻao, pea mo ʻene tono tangata mei he vahaʻa ʻo hono huhu;
3 lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.
Telia naʻaku fakatelefua ia, pea tuku ia ke hangē ko e ʻaho ʻo hono fanauʻi, pea ngaohi ia ke hangē ko e toafa, pea tuku ia ke tatau mo e fonua mōmoa, pea tāmateʻi ia ʻi he fieinu.
4 Yea, I will have no mercy upon her sons, for they are sons of whoredom,
Pea ʻe ʻikai te u ʻaloʻofa ki heʻene fānau; he ko e fānau ʻae feʻauaki ʻakinautolu.
5 for their mother has played the harlot. She who conceived them has done shamefully, for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.
He kuo fai ʻe heʻenau faʻē ʻae feʻauaki: pea ko ia ia naʻe tuituʻia ʻakinautolu kuo ne fai fakalielia: he naʻa ne pehē, ‘Te u ʻalu atu ki heʻeku kau mamana, ʻaia ʻoku foaki mai ʻeku mā mo ʻeku vai, ʻa ʻeku fulufuluʻi sipi mo ʻeku filo, ʻa ʻeku lolo mo ʻeku inu.’
6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she shall not find her paths.
Ko ia, vakai, te u feleʻi hono hala ʻaki ʻae ʻakau talatala, pea ngaohi ha ʻā, ke ʻoua naʻa ne ʻilo hono ngaahi hala.
7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them. And she shall seek them, but shall not find them. Then she shall say, I will go and return to my first husband, for it was better with me then than now.
Pea te ne muimui ki heʻene kau mamana, ka ʻe ʻikai te ne maʻu ʻakinautolu; te ne kumi ʻakinautolu ka ʻe ʻikai ʻilo: pea te ne toki pehē, ‘Te u ʻalu, pea tafoki ki hoku ʻuluaki husepāniti; he naʻe lelei lahi ai ia kiate au.’
8 For she did not know that I gave her the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
He naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo naʻaku foaki kiate ia ʻae koane, mo e uaine, mo e lolo, pea ne u fakalahi kiate ia ʻae siliva, mo e koula, naʻa nau teu maʻa Peali.
9 Therefore I will take back my grain in the time of it, and my new wine in the season of it, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
Ko ia te u tafoki, pea ʻave ʻeku koane hono kuonga, pea mo ʻeku uaine ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu, pea te u toe maʻu ʻeku fulufuluʻi sipi mo ʻeku filo naʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻene telefua.
10 And now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.
Pea te u fakahā ni ʻa ʻene ʻuli ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻene kau mamana, pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne fakahaofi ia mei hoku nima.
11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
Pea te u fakangata ʻene fiefia, mo hono ngaahi ʻaho kātoanga, mo hono ngaahi māhina foʻou, mo hono ngaahi ʻaho tapu, pea mo ʻene ngaahi kātoanga mamafa kotoa pē.
12 And I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, These are my hire that my lovers have given me. And I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
Pea te u fakaʻauha ʻene ngaahi vaine, pea mo ʻene ngaahi ʻakau ko e fiki, ʻaia naʻa ne pehē ai, ‘Ko eni ʻae totongi naʻe foaki mai ʻe heʻeku kau mamana: pea te u ngaohi ia ko e vao ʻakau,’ pea ʻe kai ia ʻe he fanga manu ʻoe vao.
13 And I will visit upon her the days of the Baalim, to which she burned incense when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, says Jehovah.
Pea te u totongi kiate ia ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Pealimi, ʻaia naʻa ne tutu ai kiate kinautolu ʻae ʻakau namu lelei, pea ne teuteu ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae mama ʻi hono telinga mo ʻene ngaahi teunga, pea ne ʻalu atu ki heʻene kau mamana, ʻo ne fakangaloʻi au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak soothingly to her.
“Ko ia, vakai, te u tauheleʻi ia, pea ʻomi ia ki he toafa, pea lea fakafiemālie kiate ia.
15 And I will give her her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope. And she shall make answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
Pea te u foaki kiate ia ʻa ʻene ngoue vaine mei ai, pea mo e teleʻa ʻo ʻAkoli ko e matapā ʻoe ʻamanaki lelei; pea te ne hiva ʻi ai, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene kei siʻi, pea hangē ko e ʻaho naʻa ne ʻalu hake ai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
16 And it shall be at that day, says Jehovah, that thou shall call me Ishi, and shall no more call me Baali.
“Pea ʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho ko ia,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Te ke ui au ‘Ko ʻIsi’ ka ʻe ʻikai toe ui au, ‘Ko Peali.’
17 For I will take away the names of the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.
He te u toʻo mei hono ngutu ʻae ngaahi hingoa ʻo Pealimi, pea ʻe ʻikai toe manatuʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi honau hingoa.
18 And in that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping things of the ground. And I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely.
Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te u fai ʻae fuakava ki he fanga manu ʻoe ngoue maʻanautolu, pea ki he fanga manupuna ʻoe ʻatā, pea ki he fanga manu totolo ʻoe kelekele, pea te u fesiʻi ʻae kaufana mo e heletā mo e tau mei he fonua, pea te u pule ke nau tokoto hifo ʻi he fiemālie.
19 And I will betroth thee to me forever. Yea, I will betroth thee to me in righteousness, and in justice, and in loving kindness, and in mercies.
Pea te u fakamaʻu koe kiate au ʻo lauikuonga; ʻio, te u fakamaʻu koe kiate au ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, pea mo e angatonu, pea ʻi he angaʻofa, pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaloʻofa.
20 I will even betroth thee to me in faithfulness, and thou shall know Jehovah.
Te u fakamaʻu koe kiate au ʻi he moʻoni: pea te ke ʻilo ʻa Sihova.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will answer, says Jehovah. I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth,
Pea ʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, te u fanongo,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Te u fanongo, ki he ngaahi langi, pea te nau fakafanongo ki māmani:
22 and the earth shall answer the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and they shall answer Jezreel.
Pea ʻe fanongo ʻae māmani ki he koane, pea mo e uaine, pea mo e lolo, pea te nau fanongo kia Sesilili.
23 And I will sow her to me in the earth. And I will have mercy upon her who had not obtained mercy. And I will say to those who were not my people, Thou are my people, and they shall say, My God.
Pea te u tūtuuʻi ia kiate au ʻi he fonua; pea te u ʻaloʻofa kiate ia naʻe ʻikai ke maʻu ha ʻaloʻofa; pea te u pehē kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻikai ko hoku kakai, ‘Ko hoku kakai’ ʻakimoutolu, pea te nau pehē, ‘Ko homau ʻOtua koe.’”
