< Hosea 4 >

1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel, for the Lord shall enter into judgment with the inhabitants of the land: for there is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God in the land.
E HOOLOHE oukou, e na mamo a Iseraela, i ka olelo a Iehova: no ka mea, he hakaka ko Iehova me na kanaka o ka aina; No ka mea, aohe oiaio, aohe aloha, aohe ike i ke Akua ma ka aina.
2 Cursing, and lying, and killing, and theft, and adultery have overflowed, and blood hath touched blood.
O ka hoohiki ino, ka hoopunipuni, ka pepehi kanaka, ka aihue, a me ka moe kolohe, ka lakou i hoomahuahua ae ai, a pili aku no ke koko i ke koko.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the air: yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be gathered together.
No ia mea, e kanikau auanei ka aina, A e nawaliwali na mea a pau e noho ana maluna ona, Me na holoholona o ke kula, a me na manu o ka lewa; Oia, e laweia'ku hoi na ia o ke kai.
4 But yet let not any man judge: and let not a man be rebuked: for thy people are as they that contradict the priest.
Aka, mai hakaka kekahi kanaka, aole hoi e papa aku ia hai: No ka mea, o kou poe kanaka, ua like lakou me ka poe e hakaka ana me ke kahuna.
5 And thou shalt fall today, and the prophet also shall fall with thee: in the night I have made thy mother to be silent.
Nolaila e hina oe i ke ao, O ke kaula hoi, e hina pu ia me oe i ka po; A e luku aku au i kou makuwahine.
6 My people have been silent, because they had no knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will reject thee, that thou shalt not do the office of priesthood to me: and thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.
Ua lukuia ko'u poe kanaka no ka ike ole: No ka mea, ua hoowahawaha oe i ka ike, E hoowahawaha aku hoi au ia oe, Aole oe e malama i ka oihanakahuna na'u: A no kou hoopoina ana i ke kanawai o kou Akua, Owau hoi kekahi e hoopoina i kau poe keiki.
7 According to the multitude of them so have they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame.
E like me ko lakou nui ana, pela lakou i hana hewa mai ai ia'u: A e hoololi au i ko lakou nani i mea hilahila.
8 They shall eat the sins of my people, and shall lift up their souls to their iniquity.
Ua ai lakou i ka hewa o kuu poe kanaka, A ua kau i ko lakou mau naau ma ko lakou la hala.
9 And there shall be like people like priest: and I will visit their ways upon them, and I will repay them their devices.
A e like auanei me na kanaka, pela no me ke kahuna: A e hoopai aku au ia lakou e like me ko lakou mau aoao, A e hoouku aku au ia lakou e like me ka lakou hana ana.
10 And they shall eat and shall not be filled: they have committed fornication, and have not ceased: because they have forsaken the Lord in not observing his law.
A e ai lakou, aole nae e maona, A e moe kolohe lakou, aole nae e mahuahua ae; No ka mea, ua hooki lakou i ka malama ia Iehova.
11 Fornication, and wine, and drunkenness take away the understanding.
O ka moe kolohe, o ka waina, a me ka waina hou, oia ke lawe aku i ka naau.
12 My people have consulted their stocks, and their staff hath declared unto them: for the spirit of fornication hath deceived them, and they have committed fornication against their God.
Ke ninau nei kuu poe kanaka i ko lakou kii laau, A ua hoike mai ko lakou kookoo ia lakou; No ka mea, ua hooauwana ka naau moe kolohe ia lakou; Ua hele moe kolohe lakou mai lalo ae o ko lakou Akua.
13 They offered sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burnt incense upon the hills: under the oak, and the poplar, and the turpentine tree, because the shadow thereof was good: therefore shall your daughters commit fornication, and your spouses shall be adulteresses.
Kaumaha aku la lakou ma kahi kiekie o na mauna, A kuni i ka mea ala maluna o na puu, Malalo o ka laau oka, a me ka laau popela, a me ka laau kaa, No ka mea, ua oluolu kona malumalu: No ia mea, e moe kolohe ka oukou poe kaikamahine, A e moe kolohe ka oukou poe hunona wahine.
14 I will not visit upon your daughters when they shell commit fornication, and upon your spouses when they shall commit adultery: because themselves conversed with harlots, and offered sacrifice with the effeminate, and the people that doth not understand shall be beaten.
Aole au e hoopai aku i ka oukou poe kaikamahine no ko lakou moe kolohe ana, A i ka oukou poe hunona wahine no ko lakou moe kolohe ana: No ka mea, ua hookaawale pu lakou ia lakou iho me na wahine hookamakama, A ua mohai pu lakou me na wahine moe kolohe: A o ka poe kanaka ike ole, e make no lakou.
15 If thou play the harlot, O Israel, at least let not Juda offend: and go ye not into Galgal, and come not up into Bethaven, and do not swear: The Lord liveth.
Ina o oe, e ka Iseraela, i moe kolohe, mai hana hewa o ka luda: A mai hele oukou i Gilegala, Mai pii ae oukou i Betavena, Mai hoohiki, E ola o Iehova.
16 For Israel hath gone astray like a wanton heifer: now will the Lord feed them, as a lamb in a spacious place.
No ka mea, ua paakiki o ka Iseraela, e like me ka paakiki o ka bipiwahine hou: Ano e hanai o Iehova ia lakou, e like me ke keikihipa ma kahi akea.
17 Ephraim is a partaker with idols, let him alone.
Ua hui pu o Eperaima me na kii, e waiho aku ia ia.
18 Their banquet is separated, they have gone astray by fornication: they that should have protected them have loved to bring shame upon them.
Ua hewa ka lakou ahainu, Ua mau ko lakou moe kolohe ana; A ake kona poe alii i ka hilahila.
19 The wind hath bound them up in its wings, and they shall be confounded because of their sacrifices.
Ua hoopaa ka makani ia ia iloko o kona mau eheu, A e hilahila auanei lakou i ka lakou mau mohai.
