Hosea 5
1 Hear this, priests, and pay attention, house of Israel, and listen closely, house of the king. For there is a judgment against you, because you have become a trap for those you watched over, and a net stretched out over Tabor.
Whakarongo ki tenei, e nga tohunga, mahara mai, e te whare o Iharaira, kia whai taringa mai hoki, e te whare o te kingi, mo koutou hoki te whakawa; no te mea kua waiho koutou hei rore ki Mihipa, hei kupenga horahora ki runga ki Taporo.
2 And you have led astray victims into the depths, though I am the teacher of them all.
A hohonu ana te hounga o te patu a te hunga tutu; ko ahau ia te kairiri i te he o ratou katoa.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel has not been hidden from me, yet now Ephraim has committed fornication, and Israel has been contaminated.
E mohio ana ahau ki a Eparaima, kahore a Iharaira e ngaro i ahau; kei te moepuku nei hoki koe inaianei, e Eparaima, kua poke a Iharaira.
4 They will not set their thoughts to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.
E kore hoki ratou e tukua e a ratou mahi kia hoki ki to ratou Atua; kei roto hoki i a ratou te wairua moepuku, kahore o ratou mohio ki a Ihowa.
5 And the arrogance of Israel will answer to his face. And Israel and Ephraim will fall in their iniquity, and even Judah will fall with them.
E whakaaturia ana ta Iharaira e tona whakapehapeha ki tona aroaro ano: na ka hinga a Iharaira raua ko Eparaima i runga i to raua he, me Hura, ka hinga ngatahi ratou.
6 With their flocks and their herds, they will go to seek the Lord, and they will not find him. He has taken himself away from them.
Ka haere ratou me a ratou hipi, me a ratou kau, ki te rapu i a Ihowa; heoi e kore e kitea; kua mawehe atu ia i roto i a ratou.
7 They have sinned against the Lord. For they have conceived sons that are strangers. Now one month will devour them with all their own.
Kua tinihanga ratou ki a Ihowa: he tamariki tangata ke hoki a ratou tamariki: akuanei ka pau ratou me a ratou wahi i te marama kohiti.
8 Sound the bugle in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah. Shout in Bethaven, behind your back, O Benjamin.
Whakatangihia te koronete ki Kipea, te tetere ki Rama: whakatangihia he whakaoho ki Peteawene; i muri i a koe, e Pineamine.
9 Ephraim will be in desolation on the day of correction, for within the tribes of Israel, I have revealed faith.
Ka ururua a Eparaima i te ra e riria ai te he: takoto rawa te mea kua whakaaturia nei e ahau i roto i nga hapu o Iharaira.
10 The leaders of Judah have become like those who assume the end. I will pour my wrath over them like water.
E rite ana nga rangatira o Hura ki te hunga e whakaneke atu ana i te rohe; ka tahoroa e ahau toku riri ki runga ki a ratou ano he wai.
11 Ephraim has been enduring malicious slander and broken judgment, because he began to go after filth.
E tukinotia ana, e whakapetia ana a Eparaima i te whakawakanga, mona i pai ki te whai i te whakahau.
12 And I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.
Na reira, ka rite taku ki a Eparaima ki ta te purehurehu, ka rite hoki ki te pirau taku ki te whare o Hura.
13 And Ephraim saw his own weakness, and Judah his chains. And Ephraim went to Assur, and he sent to the Avenging king. But he will not be able to heal you, nor is he able to release you from your chains.
I te wa i kite ai a Eparaima i tona mate, a Hura hoki i tona marutanga, na haere ana a Eparaima ki Ahiria, tuku tangata ana ia ki a Kingi Iarepe: heoi e kore koutou e taea e ia te rongoa, e kore hoki e ora i a ia to koutou marutanga.
14 For I will be like a lioness to Ephraim, and like a lion’s offspring to the house of Judah. I myself will seize and go forth. I will take away, and there is no one who can rescue.
Ka rite hoki taku ki a Eparaima ki ta te raiona, taku ki te whare o Hura ka rite ki ta te kuao raiona: ka haehae ahau, ina, ahau ano, a ka haere; ka maua atu e ahau, a kahore he kaiwhakaora.
15 I will go and return to my place, until you shall grow faint and seek my face.
Ka haere ahau ka hoki ki toku wahi, kia whakaae ra ano ratou ki to ratou he, kia rapua ra ano toku mata e ratou: a, i a ratou e mate ana, kaha tonu ta ratou rapu i ahau.
