Hosea 12
1 Ephraim feeds on wind and follows burning heat; all day long he multiplies lies and desolation. And he has entered into a pact with the Assyrians, and he has carried oil into Egypt.
KE ai nei ka Eperaima i ka makani, A ke hahai nei hoi ia i ka makani hikina: Hoomahuahua no ia i na la a pau i ka hoopunipuni a me ka luku ana; A hana lakou i ka berita me ko Asuria, A ua laweia'ku ka aila i Aigupita.
2 Therefore, the judgment of the Lord is with Judah and a visitation is upon Jacob. He will repay him according to his ways and according to his inventions.
He paio hoi ko Iehova me ka Iuda, A e hoopai aku oia ia Iakoba e like me kona mau aoao; E hoouku aku kela ia ia e like me kana hana.
3 In the womb, he supplanted his brother; for in his good fortune, he had been guided by an angel.
Iloko o ka opu hoopaa aku oia i ke kuekuewawae o kona kaikuaana, A ma kona ikaika hakaka pu ia me ke Akua.
4 And he prevailed over an angel, for he had been strengthened. He wept and petitioned him. He found him in Bethel, and there he has spoken to us.
A hakaka pu ia me ka anela, a lanakila: Uwe iho la ia, a nonoi aku la ia ia: Loaa oia ia ia ma Betela, a olelo pu oia me kakou;
5 And the Lord God of hosts, the Lord is his memorial.
Oia hoi, o Iehova ke Akua o na kaua; O Iehova, oia kona inoa ponoi.
6 And so, you should convert to your God. Keep mercy and judgment, and have hope in your God always.
Nolaila, e huli oe i kou Akua: E malama i ke aloha, a me ka olelo hoopono, A e hilinai mau maluna o kou Akua.
7 Canaan, in his hand is a deceitful balance, he has chosen false accusations.
He kalepa no ia, ma kona lima ka mea kaupaona hoopunipuni: A makemake no ia i ka alunu.
8 And Ephraim has said, “Nevertheless, I have become rich; I have found an idol for myself. All of my labors will not reveal to me the iniquity that I have committed.”
A i iho la o Eperaima, Ua lako no nae wau, Ua loaa ia'u ka waiwai; Ma ka'u mau hana a pau aole i loaa kuu hewa, ka mea i hewa'i au.
9 And I, the Lord your God from the land of Egypt, nevertheless will cause you to dwell in tabernacles, just as during the days of the feast.
A owau, o Iehova kou Akua, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, E hoonoho hou aku au ia oe i na halelewa, e like me na la o ka ahaaina.
10 And I have spoken through the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and I have used parables through the hands of the prophets.
A ua olelo aku au ma na kaula, A ua hoomahuahua i na hihio, A ua olelo aku au i na olelo nane ma ka lima o na kaula.
11 If Gilead is an idol, then they have been sacrificing cattle in Gilgal to no purpose. For even their altars are like clutter on the soil of the field.
Ua hewa anei ko Gileada? Oia, ua hewa lakou; Ke kaumaha nei lakou i na bipi ma Gilegala; A o ko lakou mau kuahu, ua like me na ahu ma na auwaha o ka mahinaai.
12 Jacob fled into the region of Syria, and Israel served like a wife, and was served by a wife.
A holo aku la o Iakoba i ka aina o Suria; A hooluhi aku la o Iseraela no ka wahine, A no ka wahine malama aku la ia i na holoholona.
13 Yet by a prophet the Lord led Israel out of Egypt, and he was served by a prophet.
A ma ke kaula i lawe mai ai o Iehova i ka Iseraela mai Aigupita mai, A ma ke kaula i malama mai ai oia ia ia.
14 Ephraim has provoked me to wrath with his bitterness, and his blood will overcome him, and his Lord will requite him for his shamefulness.
Hoonaukiuki loa aku la o Eperaima ia ia; Nolaila e waiho aku ai ia i kona koko maluna ona, A e hoihoi aku kona Haku i kona hoowahawaha maluna ona.
