Hosea 4
1 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye sons of Israel, for Jehovah has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.
E HOOLOHE oukou, e na mamo a Iseraela, i ka olelo a Iehova: no ka mea, he hakaka ko Iehova me na kanaka o ka aina; No ka mea, aohe oiaio, aohe aloha, aohe ike i ke Akua ma ka aina.
2 There is nothing but swearing and breaking faith, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery. They break out, and blood touches blood.
O ka hoohiki ino, ka hoopunipuni, ka pepehi kanaka, ka aihue, a me ka moe kolohe, ka lakou i hoomahuahua ae ai, a pili aku no ke koko i ke koko.
3 Therefore the land shall mourn, and everyone who dwells in it shall languish with the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens. Yea, the fishes of the sea shall also be taken away.
No ia mea, e kanikau auanei ka aina, A e nawaliwali na mea a pau e noho ana maluna ona, Me na holoholona o ke kula, a me na manu o ka lewa; Oia, e laweia'ku hoi na ia o ke kai.
4 Yet, let no man strive, nor let any man reprove, for thy people are as those who strive with the priest.
Aka, mai hakaka kekahi kanaka, aole hoi e papa aku ia hai: No ka mea, o kou poe kanaka, ua like lakou me ka poe e hakaka ana me ke kahuna.
5 And thou shall stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with thee in the night. And I will destroy thy mother.
Nolaila e hina oe i ke ao, O ke kaula hoi, e hina pu ia me oe i ka po; A e luku aku au i kou makuwahine.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because thou have rejected knowledge, I also will reject thee, that thou shall be no priest to me. Since thou have forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy sons.
Ua lukuia ko'u poe kanaka no ka ike ole: No ka mea, ua hoowahawaha oe i ka ike, E hoowahawaha aku hoi au ia oe, Aole oe e malama i ka oihanakahuna na'u: A no kou hoopoina ana i ke kanawai o kou Akua, Owau hoi kekahi e hoopoina i kau poe keiki.
7 As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me. I will change their glory into shame.
E like me ko lakou nui ana, pela lakou i hana hewa mai ai ia'u: A e hoololi au i ko lakou nani i mea hilahila.
8 They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
Ua ai lakou i ka hewa o kuu poe kanaka, A ua kau i ko lakou mau naau ma ko lakou la hala.
9 And it shall be, like people, like priest. And I will punish them for their ways, and will requite them their doings.
A e like auanei me na kanaka, pela no me ke kahuna: A e hoopai aku au ia lakou e like me ko lakou mau aoao, A e hoouku aku au ia lakou e like me ka lakou hana ana.
10 And they shall eat, and not have enough. They shall play the harlot, and shall not increase, because they have left off taking heed to Jehovah.
A e ai lakou, aole nae e maona, A e moe kolohe lakou, aole nae e mahuahua ae; No ka mea, ua hooki lakou i ka malama ia Iehova.
11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the understanding.
O ka moe kolohe, o ka waina, a me ka waina hou, oia ke lawe aku i ka naau.
12 My people ask counsel at their stock, and their staff declares to them, for the spirit of whoredom has caused them to err, and they have played the harlot, departing from under their God.
Ke ninau nei kuu poe kanaka i ko lakou kii laau, A ua hoike mai ko lakou kookoo ia lakou; No ka mea, ua hooauwana ka naau moe kolohe ia lakou; Ua hele moe kolohe lakou mai lalo ae o ko lakou Akua.
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and terebinths, because the shadow of it is good. Therefore your daughters play the harlot, and your brides commit adultery.
Kaumaha aku la lakou ma kahi kiekie o na mauna, A kuni i ka mea ala maluna o na puu, Malalo o ka laau oka, a me ka laau popela, a me ka laau kaa, No ka mea, ua oluolu kona malumalu: No ia mea, e moe kolohe ka oukou poe kaikamahine, A e moe kolohe ka oukou poe hunona wahine.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot, nor your brides when they commit adultery. For themselves go apart with harlots, and they sacrifice with the prostitutes. And the people who do not understand shall be overthrown.
Aole au e hoopai aku i ka oukou poe kaikamahine no ko lakou moe kolohe ana, A i ka oukou poe hunona wahine no ko lakou moe kolohe ana: No ka mea, ua hookaawale pu lakou ia lakou iho me na wahine hookamakama, A ua mohai pu lakou me na wahine moe kolohe: A o ka poe kanaka ike ole, e make no lakou.
15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend, and come not ye to Gilgal, nor go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, As Jehovah lives.
Ina o oe, e ka Iseraela, i moe kolohe, mai hana hewa o ka luda: A mai hele oukou i Gilegala, Mai pii ae oukou i Betavena, Mai hoohiki, E ola o Iehova.
16 For Israel has behaved himself stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. Now Jehovah will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
No ka mea, ua paakiki o ka Iseraela, e like me ka paakiki o ka bipiwahine hou: Ano e hanai o Iehova ia lakou, e like me ke keikihipa ma kahi akea.
17 Ephraim is joined to idols, let him alone.
Ua hui pu o Eperaima me na kii, e waiho aku ia ia.
18 Their drink has become sour. They play the harlot continually. Her rulers dearly love shame.
Ua hewa ka lakou ahainu, Ua mau ko lakou moe kolohe ana; A ake kona poe alii i ka hilahila.
19 The wind has wrapped her up in its wings, and they shall be put to shame because of their sacrifices.
Ua hoopaa ka makani ia ia iloko o kona mau eheu, A e hilahila auanei lakou i ka lakou mau mohai.
