< Hosea 9 >

1 Do not rejoice, O Israel, with exultation like the nations, for you have played the harlot against your God; you have made love for hire on every threshing floor.
Kei koa koe, e Iharaira, kei whakamanamana, kei pera me era atu iwi; kua whakarerea na hoki e koe tou Atua, kua puremu, arohaina ana e koe te utu i nga wahi katoa e patua ai te witi.
2 The threshing floor and winepress will not feed them, and the new wine will fail them.
E kore ratou e whangaia e te patunga witi, e te poka waina, a ka tinihanga tana waina hou.
3 They will not remain in the land of the LORD; Ephraim will return to Egypt and eat unclean food in Assyria.
E kore ratou e noho ki te whenua o Ihowa; engari ka hoki a Eparaima ki Ihipa; a ka kai ratou i te mea poke ki Ahiria.
4 They will not pour out wine offerings to the LORD, and their sacrifices will not please Him, but will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat will be defiled. For their bread will be for themselves; it will not enter the house of the LORD.
E kore e ringihia e ratou he ringihanga waina ki a Ihowa, e kore ano aua mea e arongia e ia: ko a ratou patunga tapu ka pera ki a ratou me te taro tangi tupapaku; ka poke katoa te hunga e kai ana: ko ta ratou taro hoki hei mea mo to ratou hiakai; e kore e tae ki roto ki te whare o Ihowa.
5 What will you do on the appointed day, on the day of the LORD’s feast?
Ka pehea koutou i te ra o te huihui nui, a i te ra o ta Ihowa hakari?
6 For even if they flee destruction, Egypt will gather them and Memphis will bury them. Their precious silver will be taken over by thistles, and thorns will overrun their tents.
Nana, kua riro ratou, kei ngaro, otiia ka kohikohia ratou e Ihipa, ka tanumia e Memepihi: ko a ratou mea ahuareka, hiriwa, ka riro i te ongaonga; ka tupu te tataramoa ki o ratou teneti.
7 The days of punishment have come; the days of retribution have arrived— let Israel know it. The prophet is called a fool, and the inspired man insane, because of the greatness of your iniquity and hostility.
Kua tae mai nga ra o te tirotiro, kua tae mai nga ra whakautu; ka mohio a Iharaira: he wairangi te poropiti, he haurangi te tangata i te wairua, he nui hoki no tou kino, he nui no te mauahara.
8 The prophet is Ephraim’s watchman, along with my God, yet the snare of the fowler lies on all his paths. Hostility is in the house of his God!
He kaitutei a Eparaima, i toku Atua ia; ko te poropiti, he mahanga ia na te kaiahere manu i ona ara katoa, he mauahara i roto i te whare o tona Atua.
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their guilt; He will punish their sins.
Kua heke to ratou tupu, a aua noa iho ki raro, e rite ana ki nga ra i Kipea: ka mahara ia ki to ratou he, ka tirotirohia e ia o ratou hara.
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the firstfruits of the fig tree in its first season. But they went to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves to Shame; so they became as detestable as the thing they loved.
I toku tutakinga ki a Iharaira, i rite ratou ki te karepe i te koraha; i toku kitenga i o koutou matua i rite ratou ki te matamua o te piki i te mea katahi nei ka hua; heoi haere ana ratou ki a Paarapeoro, na wehe ana ratou i a ratou ki taua han ga whakama, mea ana kia whakarihariha ratou kia rite ki ta ratou i matenui ai.
11 Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird, with no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception.
Tena ko Eparaima, ka rere a manu atu to ratou kororia: kahore he mea e whanau, kahore he tamaiti i te kopu, a kahore he haputanga.
12 Even if they raise their children, I will bereave them of each one. Yes, woe be to them when I turn away from them!
Ahakoa whakatupu noa ratou i a ratou tamariki, ka kore i ahau, a kore iho he tangata e mahue: ina, aue te mate mo ratou ua mahue ratou i ahau!
13 I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a meadow. But Ephraim will bring out his children for slaughter.
Ko Eparaima, rite tonu ki toku kitenga i Taira, he mea whakato ki te wahi pai: otiia ka kawea ana tama e Eparaima ki waho, ki te kaikohuru.
14 Give them, O LORD— what will You give? Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that dry up!
Hoatu ki a ratou, e Ihowa: ko te aha e hoatu e koe ki a ratou? hoatu ki a ratou he kopu whakatahe, he u maroke.
15 All their evil appears at Gilgal, for there I hated them. I will drive them from My house for the wickedness of their deeds. I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious.
Kei Kirikara to ratou kino katoa; a kino iho ahau ki a ratou ki reira: ka he nei a ratou mahi, ka peia ratou e ahau i roto i toku whare; heoi ano oku aroha ki a ratou: he hunga whakakeke o ratou rangatira katoa.
16 Ephraim is struck down; their root is withered; they cannot bear fruit. Even if they bear children, I will slay the darlings of their wombs.
Kua patua a Eparaima, kua maroke to ratou pakiaka, kore ake o ratou hua; ae ra, ahakoa whanau noa ratou, ka mate ano i ahau te mea e matenuitia ana, te hua o to ratou kopu.
17 My God will reject them because they have not obeyed Him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Ka paopao toku Atua ki a ratou, mo ratou kihai i rongo ki a ia: a ka waiho ratou hei kopikopiko i roto i nga tauiwi.
