Hosea 1
1 The word of Jehovah that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
Ko te kupu a Ihowa i puta ki a Hohea tama a Peeri i nga ra o nga kingi o Hura, ara o Utia, o Iotama, o Ahata, o Hetekia, i nga ra hoki o Ieropoama tama a Ioaha kingi o Iharaira.
2 The beginning of the word of Jehovah through Hosea. And Jehovah said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms, and children of whoredoms; for the land is entirely given up to whoredom, away from Jehovah.
I te korerotanga ai a Ihowa i te tuatahi, he mea korero na Hohea, i mea a Ihowa ki a Hohea, Haere, tangohia tetahi wahine mau, he mea kairau, etahi tamariki ano, he mea na te kairau: he nui hoki te kairautanga i kairau ai te whenua i te mea ka wh akarerea nei a Ihowa.
3 And he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived and bore him a son.
Na haere ana ia, tikina ana e ia a Komere tamahine a Ripiraima. Na kua hapu tera, kua whanau ta raua tama.
4 And Jehovah said unto him, Call his name Jizreel; for yet a little, and I will visit the blood of Jizreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Huaina tona ingoa, ko Ietereere; no te mea tenei ake, he wa poto nei, ka rapu utu ahau mo te toto o Ietereere i te whare o Iehu, ka whakamutua ano e ahau te kingitanga o te whare o Iharaira.
5 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jizreel.
I taua ra ka whati i ahau te kopere a Iharaira ki te raorao o Ietereere.
6 And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And he said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah; for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel, so that I should pardon them.
Na kua hapu ano ia, whanau ake he tamahine. A ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Huaina tona ingoa, ko Roruhama: no te mea e kore e atawhaitia e ahau te whare o Iharaira a muri ake nei, e murua ranei e ahau tetahi wahi a ratou.
7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by Jehovah their God; and I will not save them by bow, or by sword, or by battle, [or] by horses, or by horsemen.
Engari te whare o Hura ka atawhaitia e ahau, ka meinga ano e ahau a Ihowa, to ratou Atua, hei whakaora i a ratou; e kore e meinga e ahau te kopere, te hoari, te whawhai, nga hoiho, nga kaieke hoiho ranei hei whakaora i a ratou.
8 And she weaned Lo-ruhamah; and she conceived and bore a son;
A ka whakamutua e ia ta Roruhama kai u, ka hapu ia, a whanau ake he tama.
9 and he said, Call his name Lo-ammi; for ye are not my people, and I will not be for you.
Na ka mea a Ihowa, Huaina tona ingoa ko Roami: ehara hoki koutou i te iwi naku, ehara ano hoki ahau i te Atua no koutou.
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea which cannot be measured or numbered; and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, Sons of the living God.
Ka rite ano ia te tokomaha o nga tama a Iharaira ki te onepu o te moana e kore nei e mehuatia, e kore e taua; na i te wahi i korerotia ai ki a ratou, Ehara koutou i te iwi naku, ko reira ano te kupu ki a ratou, He tama koutou na te Atua ora.
11 And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up out of the land: for great is the day of Jizreel.
Ko reira ano nga tama a Hura ratou ko nga tama a Iharaira huihui ngatahi ai, whiriwhiri ai i te upoko kotahi mo ratou, ka haere mai ano ratou i te whenua: no te mea he nui te ra o Ietereere.
