Hosea 7
1 When my desire was for the fate of my people to be changed and to make Israel well, then the sin of Ephraim was made clear, and the evil-doing of Samaria; for their ways are false, and the thief comes into the house, while the band of outlaws takes property by force in the streets.
I KA wa a'u e hoihoi aku ai i ke pio ana o kuu poe kanaka, I kuu hoola ana i ka Iseraela, alaila hoikeia mai ka hewa o Eperaima, A me na mea ino o ko Samaria: No ka mea, ua hana lakou i ka wahahee; A komo mai ka aihue maloko, A hao wale ka poe powa mawaho.
2 And they do not say to themselves that I keep in mind all their sin; now their evil acts come round them on every side; they are before my face.
Aole noonoo ko lakou naau i kuu hoomanao ana i ko lakou hewa a pau: Ano, ua hoopuni ka lakou mau hana ia lakou; Eia no lakou imua o ko'u maka.
3 In their sin they make a king for themselves, and rulers in their deceit.
Ma ko lakou hewa hoolealea aku lakou i ke alii, A i na haku hoi ma ko lakou mau hoopunipuni.
4 They are all untrue; they are like a burning oven; the bread-maker does not make up the fire from the time when the paste is mixed till it is leavened.
He poe moe kolohe lakou a pau, e like me ka umu i hoenaenaia e ka mea pulehu palaoa, Hoopanee oia i ka pulehu ana, mahope o ke kawili ana i ka palaoa a hiki i ka wa e hu ai.
5 On the day of our king, the rulers made him ill with the heat of wine; his hand was stretched out with the men of pride.
A i ka la o ko kakou alii loohia iho na haku e ka mai i ka wela o ka waina, A o aku la oia i kona lima me ka poe haakei.
6 For they have made their hearts ready like an oven, while they are waiting secretly; their wrath is sleeping all night; in the morning it is burning like a flaming fire.
No ka mea, ua hoomakaukau lakou i ko lakou naau, e like me ka umu ma ko lakou hoohalua ana: Ua hiamoe ko lakou mau mea peluhu palaoa, a ao ka po: A i kakahiaka, ua wela ia mea e like me ke ahi lapalapa.
7 They are all heated like an oven, and they put an end to their judges; all their kings have been made low; not one among them makes prayer to me.
Ua wela lakou a pau e like me ka umu, Ua ai lakou i ko lakou mau lunakanawai; Ua haule ko lakou poe alii a pau: Aohe mea e kahea mai ia'u iwaena o lakou.
8 Ephraim is mixed with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
O Eperaima, ua hui pu ia me na kanaka e: O Eperaima, he popo palaoa no ia, aole i huliia.
9 Men from other lands have made waste his strength, and he is not conscious of it; grey hairs have come on him here and there, and he has no knowledge of it.
Ua ai na malihini i kona ikaika, aole nae ia i ike: Ua kau mai no hoi ke oho hina maluna ona, aole nae ia i ike.
10 And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; but for all this, they have not gone back to the Lord their God, or made search for him.
Ke hoike mai nei ka haaheo o ka Iseraela ma kona maka: Aole lakou e hoi hou ia Iehova i ko lakou Akua, Aole imi aku ia ia no keia mea a pau.
11 And Ephraim is like a foolish dove, without wisdom; they send out their cry to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
Ua like hoi o Eperaima me he manu nunu la i hawawa aohe ona manao: Kahea aku lakou i ko Aigupita, A hele lakou i ko Asuria.
12 When they go, my net will be stretched out over them; I will take them like the birds of heaven, I will give them punishment, I will take them away in the net for their sin.
A i ka wa e hele ai lakou, e hohola aku au i ka'u upena maluna o lakou; A e lawe mai au ia lakou ilalo, e like me na manu o ka lewa; A e hahau aku au ia lakou, e like me ka mea a ko lakou ahakanaka i lohe ai.
13 May trouble be theirs! for they have gone far away from me; and destruction, for they have been sinning against me; I was ready to be their saviour, but they said false words against me.
E auwe lakou! no ka mea, ua auwana lakou mai o'u aku la: O ka make ko lakou! no ka mea, ua kipi mai lakou ia'u: Owau ka i hoola ia lakou, A o lakou ka i olelo wahahee mai ia'u.
14 And they have not made prayer to me in their hearts, but they make loud cries on their beds; they are cutting themselves for food and wine, they are turned against me.
Aole lakou i auwe mai ia'u me ko lakou naau, i ka wa a lakou i auwe ai maluna o ko lakou wahi moe: Ua hoakoakoa lakou ia lakou iho no ka ai, a no ka waina hou, a ua kipi mai lakou ia'u.
15 Though I have given training and strength to their arms, they have evil designs against me.
Ia'u i ao ai ia lakou, a hooikaika aku ai i ko lakou mau lima, Aka, ke manao hewa mai nei lakou ia'u.
16 They have gone to what is of no value; they are like a false bow; their captains will come to destruction by the sword, and their ruler by my wrath; for this, the land of Egypt will make sport of them.
Ua hoi hou lakou, aole nae i ka Mea kiekie loa; Ua like lakou me he kakaka hewa la: E haule na'lii o lakou me ka pahikaua, no ka hookano o ko lakou alelo: O keia ko lakou hoino ma ka aina o Aigupita.
