Hosea 2
1 “Say to your brothers, ‘You are my people,’ and to your sister, ‘You have obtained mercy.’
Mea atu koutou ki o koutou tuakana, Ami; ki o koutou tuahine, Ruhama.
2 Judge your mother, judge: for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove her fornications from before her face and her adulteries 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 may expose her nakedness and set her as on the day of her birth, and I may establish her as a wilderness and set her as an impassable land, and I may execute her with 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 And I will not have mercy on her sons, for they are the sons of fornications.
Ae ra, e kore ana tamariki e tohungia e ahau; no te mea he tamariki ratou na te moepuku.
5 For their mother has been fornicating; she who conceived them has been brought to ruin. For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my 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 Because of this, behold, I will fence in your way with thorns, and I will surround it with a wall, and she will not find her paths.
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 And she will pursue her lovers, but she will not obtain them, and she will seek them, but she will not find them, and she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, because it was to some extent better for me then, than it is 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 And she did not know that I gave her grain and wine and oil, and that I increased her silver and gold, which they made into 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 For this reason, I will turn back, and I will take away my grain in its time and my wine in its time, and I will set free my wool and my flax, which had covered her disgrace.
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 now, I will reveal her foolishness by the eyes of her lovers, and no man will rescue her from my hand.
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 And I will cause all her joy to cease: her solemnities, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her feast dates.
Ka mutu katoa ano i ahau tona koa, ona ra hakari, ona kowhititanga marama, ona hapati, me ana huihui nunui katoa.
12 And I will corrupt her vines and her fig trees, about which she said, ‘These rewards, they are mine, my lovers have given them to me.’ And I will place her in a narrow forest, and the beasts of the field will devour her.
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 And I will inflict on her the days of the Baals, for whom she burned incense, and ornamented herself with earrings and necklace, and went after her lovers, and forgot about me,” says the Lord.
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 “Because of this, behold, I will attract her, and I will lead her into the wilderness, and I will speak to her heart.
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 And I will give to her, from the same place, her vinedressers, and the valley of Achor as a passage of hope. And she will sing there as in the days of her youth, and as in the days of her ascension from the land 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 And it will be in that day,” says the Lord, “that she will call me, ‘My Husband,’ and she will no longer call me, ‘My Baal.’
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 And I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and she will no longer remember their name.
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 And in that day, I will strike a deal with them, with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creatures of the earth. And I will crush the bow and the sword, and I will wipe away war from the earth. And I will let them sleep securely.
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 And I will betroth you to me forever, and I will betroth you to me in justice and judgment, and in mercy 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 wed you to me in faith, and you will know that I am the Lord.
Ka taumautia ano koe maku i runga i te pono, a ka mohio koe ki a Ihowa.
21 And this will happen in that day: I will listen closely,” says the Lord. “I will hear the heavens, and they will hear 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 land will pay attention to the grain, and the wine, and the oil; and these will hear 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 plant her for me in the land, and I will have mercy on her, though she had been called Without Mercy. And I will say to 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.
