Hosea 7
1 When I would have healed Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria, for they have committed falsehood, and the thief is come in to steal, the robber is without.
I ahau e mea ana ki te rongoa i a Iharaira, ka kitea te he o Eparaima, te kino hoki o Hamaria: no te mea e mahi ana ratou i te teka, e tomo ana hoki te tahae ki roto, e pahua ana te taua i waho.
2 And lest they may say in their hearts, that I remember all their wickedness: their own devices now have beset them about, they have been done before my face.
A kahore a ratou meatanga ake i roto i o ratou ngakau, kei te mahara tenei ahau ki to ratou kino katoa: kua karapotia ratou inaianei e a ratou mahi; tenei ano kei toku aroaro.
3 They have made the king glad with their wickedness: and the princes with their lies.
Ka meinga e ratou te kingi kia koa ki ta ratou kino, nga rangatira hoki ki a ratou teka.
4 They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by the baker: the city rested a little from the mingling of the leaven, till the whole was leavened.
He hunga puremu katoa ratou; ko to ratou rite kei te oumu kua oti te tahu e te kaipokepoke; ka mutu tana tutaki i te ahi, i muri iho i te pokepokenga i te paraoa a kia rewenatia ra ano.
5 The day of our king, the princes began to be mad with wine: he stretched out his hand with scorners.
I te ra o to tatou kingi i mate nga rangatira i a ratou ano, na te tahu a te waina; ko tona ringa maro tonu i roto i te hunga taunu.
6 Because they have applied their heart like an oven, when he laid snares for them: he slept all the night baking them, in the morning he himself was heated as a flaming fire.
Ano he oumu o ratou ngakau, i a ratou e whakatata ana, e whanga ana: pau ake te po i ta ratou kaipokepoke e moe ana; i te ata ka tonu taua oumu, ano he mura ahi.
7 They were all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings have fallen: there is none amongst them that calleth unto me.
Werawera katoa ratou me he oumu, pau ake i a ratou o ratou kaiwhakawa; kua hinga katoa o ratou kingi: kahore tetahi o ratou e karanga ana ki ahau.
8 Ephraim himself is mixed among the nations: Ephraim is become as bread baked under the ashes, that is not turned.
Ko Eparaima, kei te hanumi ia ki roto ki nga iwi; he keke a Eparaima kihai i hurihia.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knew it not: yea, grey hairs also are spread about upon him, and he is ignorant of it.
Kua pau tona kaha i nga tautangata, heoi kahore ia e mohio: ina, kua wero te hina i konei, i ko ona, a kahore ia e mohio.
10 And the pride of Israel shall be humbled before his face: and they have not returned to the Lord their God, nor have they sought him in all these.
Ko te whakapehapeha o Iharaira e whakaatu ana ki tona aroaro: heoi kihai ratou i hoki ki a Ihowa, ki to ratou Atua, a ahakoa ko tenei katoa, kahore ratou i rapu i a ia.
11 And Ephraim is become as a dove that is decoyed, not having a heart: they called upon Egypt, they went to the Assyrians.
E rite ana hoki a Eparima ki te kukupa wairangi, kahore nei ona ngakau: e karanga ana ratou ki Ihipa, e haere ana ratou ki Ahiria.
12 And when they shall go, I will spread my net upon them: I will bring them down as the fowl of the air, I will strike them as their congregation hath heard.
Ka haere ratou, ka potaea e ahau taku kupenga ki runga ki a ratou: ka riro ratou i ahau ki raro, ka pera i nga manu o te rangi; ka whiua ratou e ahau, ka peratia me ta o ratou whakaminenga i rongo ai.
13 Woe to them, for they have departed from me: they shall be wasted because they have transgressed against me: and I redeemed them: and they have spoken lies against me.
Aue te mate mo ratou! kua rere atu nei hoki ratou i ahau: ko te ngaromanga mo ratou mo ta ratou takahi i taku: i hokona ano ratou e ahau, heoi kei te korero ratou i nga kupu teka moku.
14 And they have not cried to me with their heart, but they howled in their beds: they have thought upon wheat and wine, they are departed from me.
Kahore hoki ratou i karanga ki ahau, he mea na o ratou ngakau, engari e aue ana ratou i runga i o ratou moenga; e huihui ana ratou, he whakaaro ki te witi, ki te waina, a e whakakeke ana ratou ki ahau.
15 And I have chastised them, and strengthened their arms: and they have imagined evil against me.
Ako noa ahau, whakakaha noa i o ratou ringa, heoi kino tonu to ratou whakaaro moku.
16 They returned, that they might be without yoke: they became like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongue. This is their derision in the land of Egypt.
E hoki ana ratou, ehara ia i te mea ki a ia i runga rawa: ko to ratou rite kei te kopere tinihanga: ka hinga o ratou rangatira i te hoari, he aritarita hoki no to ratou arero: hei mea tenei e kataina ai ratou ki te whenua o Ihipa.
