< Osee 14 >

1 Return, O Israel, to the Lord thy God; for the people have fallen through thine iniquities.
E KA Iseraela, e huli mai oe ia Iehova kou Akua; No ka mea, ua haule oe ma kou hewa iho.
2 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord your God: speak to him, that ye may not receive [the reward of] unrighteousness, but that ye may receive good things: and we will render in return the fruit of our lips.
E lawe me oukou i na olelo, a e huli oukou ia Iehova: E i aku ia ia, E lawe aku oe i na hewa a pau, A e ae lokomaikai mai, A e hoihoi aku makou i na mohai o ko makou lehelehe.
3 Assur shall never save us; we will not mount on horseback; we will no longer say to the works of our hands, Our gods. He who is in thee shall pity the orphan.
Aole e hoola ko Asuria ia makou; Aole makou e holo maluna o ka lio; Aole hoi makou e olelo hou aku i ka hana a ko makou mau lima. O oe ko makou Akua: No ka mea, ma ou la e loaa'i i ka poe makua ole ka lokomaikai.
4 I will restore their dwellings, I will love them truly: for he has turned away my wrath from him.
A e kala aku au i ko lakou kipi ana, E aloha wale aku hoi au ia lakou: No ka mea, ua huli ae kuu inaina mai ona aku la.
5 I will be as dew to Israel: he shall bloom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Libanus.
E like auanei au me ka hau i ka Iseraela; E pua auanei oia e like me ka lilia, A e kolo lea kona mau aa e like me Lebanona.
6 His branches shall spread, and he shall be as a fruitful olive, and his smell shall be as [the smell] of Libanus.
A e palahalaha aku kona mau lala, A e like auanei kona nani me ka laau oliva, E like hoi kona ala me Lebanona.
7 They shall return, and dwell under his shadow: they shall live and be satisfied with corn, and he shall flower as a vine: his memorial shall be to Ephraim as the wine of Libanus.
E hoi mai ka poe e noho ana malalo o kona malu; E kupu mai lakou me ka ai, A e ulu lakou me ke kumuwaina: A o kona inoa ua like me ka waina o Lebanona.
8 What [has] he to do any more with idols? I have afflicted him, and I will strengthen him: I am as a leafy juniper tree. From me is thy fruit found.
E olelo iho o Eperaima, Heaha ka'u e hana hou aku ai i na kii? Ua lohe au a ua nana hou au ia ia; Ua like au me ka laau kaa uliuli; Mai o'u aku ua loaa ia oe ka hua.
9 Who is wise, and will understand these things? or prudent, and will know them? for the ways of the Lord are straight, and the righteous shall walk in them: but the ungodly shall fall therein.
Owai ka mea naauao, i noonoo ai oia i keia mau mea? A akamai hoi, i ike ai oia i keia mau mea? No ka mea, o na aoao o Iehova, ua pololei, A e hele ka poe pono iloko olaila; Aka, o ka poe lawehala, e haule lakou iloko olaila.
