Hosea 2
1 “Say of your brothers, ‘My people,’ and of your sisters, ‘My loved one.’
Mea atu koutou ki o koutou tuakana, Ami; ki o koutou tuahine, Ruhama.
2 Rebuke your mother, rebuke her, for she is not My wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove the adultery from her face and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.
Whakawakia to koutou whaea, whakawakia: ehara hoki ia i te wahine naku, ehara ano ahau i te tahu nana: na kia whakarerea e ia ona moepuku i tona aroaro, ona puremu i waenga i ona u.
3 Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her like the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and turn her into a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.
Kei tangohia ona e ahau, a ka noho tahanga ia, kei meinga ano ia kia rite ki te ra i whanau ai ia; kei meinga ia e ahau kia rite ki te koraha, kei waiho ia hei whenua waikore, a ka mate i te matewai.
4 I will have no compassion on her children, because they are the children of adultery.
Ae ra, e kore ana tamariki e tohungia e ahau; no te mea he tamariki ratou na te moepuku.
5 For their mother has played the harlot and has conceived them in disgrace. For she thought, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me bread and water, wool and linen, oil and drink.’
Kua kairau nei hoki to ratou whaea: he mahi whakama ta te wahine i whanau ai ratou; i mea hoki ia, Ka whaia e ahau te hunga i aroha ki ahau, i homai nei i te taro maku, i te wai moku, i te huruhuru hipi maku, i te muka maku, i te hinu maku, i te mea hei inu maku.
6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her path with thorns; I will enclose her with a wall, so she cannot find her way.
Mo reira tenei ahau te tutaki nei i tou ara ki te tataramoa, te hanga nei i te taiepa e kore ai ia e kite i ona ara.
7 She will pursue her lovers but not catch them; she will seek them but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will return to my first husband, for then I was better off than now.’
Ka whaia ano e ia ana i aroha ai, heoi e kore e mau i a ia; ka rapua ratou e ia, otiia e kore e kitea: katahi ia ka mea ake, Ka haere ahau ka hoki ki taku tahu tuatahi; nui ake hoki to reira pai ki ahau i to naianei.
8 For she does not acknowledge that it was I who gave her grain, new wine, and oil, who lavished on her silver and gold— which they crafted for Baal.
Kihai ra hoki ia i mohio naku i hoatu te witi ki a ia, te waina, me te hinu, naku ano i whakanui te hiriwa mana, me te koura, ta ratou i mahi nei hei mea ma Paara.
9 Therefore I will take back My grain in its time and My new wine in its season; I will take away My wool and linen, which were given to cover her nakedness.
Mo reira ka hoki ahau, ka tango i taku witi i tona wa ano, i taku waina i tona wa ano, ka riro ano i ahau taku huruhuru hipi me taku muka i hipokina ai ia i a ia e noho tahanga ana.
10 And then I will expose her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of My hands.
Na akuanei ka whakakitea e ahau tana mahi wairangi ki nga kanohi o ana i aroha ai, e kore ano tetahi tangata e whakaora i a ia i roto i toku ringa.
11 I will put an end to all her exultation: her feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths— all her appointed feasts.
Ka mutu katoa ano i ahau tona koa, ona ra hakari, ona kowhititanga marama, ona hapati, me ana huihui nunui katoa.
12 I will destroy her vines and fig trees, which she thinks are the wages paid by her lovers. So I will make them into a thicket, and the beasts of the field will devour them.
Ka ururua ano i ahau ana waina, me ana piki, nga mea i ki ai ia, Ko oku utu enei, he mea homai na aku i aroha ai; a ka meinga e ahau hei ngahere, a ka kainga e nga kirehe o te parae.
13 I will punish her for the days of the Baals when she burned incense to them, when she decked herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers. But Me she forgot,”
Ka whiua ano ia e ahau mo nga ra o nga Paarimi, mo era i tahu whakakakara ai ia ki a ratou; a whakapaipai ana i a ia ki ona whakakai, ki ana whakapaipai, haere ana ki te whai i ana i aroha ai, a wareware ake ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa.
14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her and lead her to the wilderness, and speak to her tenderly.
Mo reira, nana, ka whakawai ahau i a ia, ka kawe i a ia ki te koraha, ka korero whakamarie ano ki a ia.
15 There I will give back her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor into a gateway of hope. There she will respond as she did in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
Ka hoatu ano e ahau etahi mara waina ki a ia i reira, me te raorao o Akoro hei kuwaha mo te tumanako: a ka whakahoki kupu ia ki reira, ka pera me to nga ra o tona tamarikitanga, me to te ra hoki i haere mai ai ia i te whenua o Ihipa.
16 In that day,” declares the LORD, “you will call Me ‘my Husband,’ and no longer call Me ‘my Master.’
Na i taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa, ka karangatia ahau e koe, E Ihi; e kore hoki ahau e karangatia e koe, E Paari a muri ake nei.
17 For I will remove from her lips the names of the Baals; no longer will their names be invoked.
No te mea ka tangohia e ahau nga ingoa o nga Paarimi i roto i tona mangai, e kore ano ratou, o ratou ingoa, e maharatia a muri ake nei.
18 On that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the creatures that crawl on the ground. And I will abolish bow and sword and weapons of war in the land, and will make them lie down in safety.
Ka whakaritea ano e ahau i taua ra he kawenata, he pai mo ratou, ki nga kirehe o te parae, ki nga manu o te rangi, ki nga mea ngokingoki o te oneone; ka whati ano i ahau te kopere, te hoari, te whawhai i runga i te whenua, a ka meinga ratou e ah au kia au te takoto.
19 So I will betroth you to Me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in loving devotion and compassion.
Ka taumautia ano koe e ahau a ake ake; ina, ka taumautia koe e ahau maku i runga i te tika, i te whakarite whakawa, i te aroha, i te atawhai.
20 And I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will know the LORD.”
Ka taumautia ano koe maku i runga i te pono, a ka mohio koe ki a Ihowa.
21 “On that day I will respond—” declares the LORD— “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth.
I taua ra ka whakarongo ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, ka whakarongo ahau ki nga rangi, ka whakarongo ratou ki te whenua;
22 And the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.
Ka whakarongo ano te whenua ki te witi, ki te waina, ki te hinu: a ka whakarongo era ki a Ietereere.
23 And I will sow her as My own in the land, and I will have compassion on ‘No Compassion.’ I will say to those called ‘Not My People,’ ‘You are My people,’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”
Ka whakato ano ahau i a ia maku ki te whenua; ka tohu i tenei kihai nei i tohungia; ka ki atu ano ki te hunga ehara nei i te iwi naku, ko koe taku iwi, a ka mea era, Ko koe toku Atua.
