Hosea 9

1 Israel, don't rejoice! Don't celebrate like other nations! For you have practiced prostitution; you have loved a prostitute's wages on every threshing floor of grain.

Kei koa koe, e Iharaira, kei whakamanamana, kei pera me era atu iwi; kua whakarerea na hoki e koe tou Atua, kua puremu, arohaina ana e koe te utu i nga wahi katoa e patua ai te witi.

2 Your threshing floors and winepresses will not feed you; the land will fail to produce your new wine.

E kore ratou e whangaia e te patunga witi, e te poka waina, a ka tinihanga tana waina hou.

3 You will not stay in the Lord's land, instead Ephraim will return to Egypt, and will eat unclean food in Assyria.

E kore ratou e noho ki te whenua o Ihowa; engari ka hoki a Eparaima ki Ihipa; a ka kai ratou i te mea poke ki Ahiria.

4 You won't pour out any drink offerings to the Lord. None of your sacrifices will please him. Your sacrifices will be like food eaten by a person in mourning—all who eat will be unclean. You will eat this food yourselves, but it will not enter the house of the Lord.

E kore e ringihia e ratou he ringihanga waina ki a Ihowa, e kore ano aua mea e arongia e ia: ko a ratou patunga tapu ka pera ki a ratou me te taro tangi tupapaku; ka poke katoa te hunga e kai ana: ko ta ratou taro hoki hei mea mo to ratou hiakai; e kore e tae ki roto ki te whare o Ihowa.

5 What are you going to do on the days of your appointed religious feasts, on the days of the festivals of the Lord?

Ka pehea koutou i te ra o te huihui nui, a i te ra o ta Ihowa hakari?

6 Look, they have left because of the destruction: Egypt with gather them, and Memphis will bury them. They gain a “valued possession” for their silver. Weeds will possess them, and thorns will grow over their tents.

Nana, kua riro ratou, kei ngaro, otiia ka kohikohia ratou e Ihipa, ka tanumia e Memepihi: ko a ratou mea ahuareka, hiriwa, ka riro i te ongaonga; ka tupu te tataramoa ki o ratou teneti.

7 The time of punishment has come; the day of retribution has arrived. Let Israel know! You say the prophet is a fool, the man of the Spirit is mad, because your sin and hostility is so great.

Kua tae mai nga ra o te tirotiro, kua tae mai nga ra whakautu; ka mohio a Iharaira: he wairangi te poropiti, he haurangi te tangata i te wairua, he nui hoki no tou kino, he nui no te mauahara.

8 The watchman over Ephraim is with my God, and a prophet is a birdcatcher's snare on all his ways. Hatred is in the house of his God

He kaitutei a Eparaima, i toku Atua ia; ko te poropiti, he mahanga ia na te kaiahere manu i ona ara katoa, he mauahara i roto i te whare o tona Atua.

9 for they have corrupted themselves so deeply, as in the time of Gibeah. He will remember their sin; he will punish their wickedness.

Kua heke to ratou tupu, a aua noa iho ki raro, e rite ana ki nga ra i Kipea: ka mahara ia ki to ratou he, ka tirotirohia e ia o ratou hara.

10 When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the desert. When I saw your forefathers it was like seeing early fruit on the fig tree. But when they came to Baal Peor, they gave themselves over to that shameful idol, becoming as filthy as the filthy thing they loved.

I toku tutakinga ki a Iharaira, i rite ratou ki te karepe i te koraha; i toku kitenga i o koutou matua i rite ratou ki te matamua o te piki i te mea katahi nei ka hua; heoi haere ana ratou ki a Paarapeoro, na wehe ana ratou i a ratou ki taua han ga whakama, mea ana kia whakarihariha ratou kia rite ki ta ratou i matenui ai.

11 Ephraim! Like a bird that flies away so shall your glory—no births, no pregnancies, no conceptions.

Tena ko Eparaima, ka rere a manu atu to ratou kororia: kahore he mea e whanau, kahore he tamaiti i te kopu, a kahore he haputanga.

12 Even if they bring up children, I will make sure they do not survive. What a disaster for you when I turn away from you!

Ahakoa whakatupu noa ratou i a ratou tamariki, ka kore i ahau, a kore iho he tangata e mahue: ina, aue te mate mo ratou ua mahue ratou i ahau!

13 Ephraim! Just as I saw Tyre planted in a meadow, so too Ephraim will lead out his children to the murderer.

Ko Eparaima, rite tonu ki toku kitenga i Taira, he mea whakato ki te wahi pai: otiia ka kawea ana tama e Eparaima ki waho, ki te kaikohuru.

14 Give them—well, Lord, what should you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry and dry breasts.

Hoatu ki a ratou, e Ihowa: ko te aha e hoatu e koe ki a ratou? hoatu ki a ratou he kopu whakatahe, he u maroke.

15 All of their evil began at Gilgal, and that's where I began to hate them. I will drive them out of my house because of their wickedness. I will love them no longer; all their leaders are rebels.

Kei Kirikara to ratou kino katoa; a kino iho ahau ki a ratou ki reira: ka he nei a ratou mahi, ka peia ratou e ahau i roto i toku whare; heoi ano oku aroha ki a ratou: he hunga whakakeke o ratou rangatira katoa.

16 Ephraim, you are blighted, dried up from the roots. You shall bear no fruit. Even if you have children, I will slaughter your beloved offspring.

Kua patua a Eparaima, kua maroke to ratou pakiaka, kore ake o ratou hua; ae ra, ahakoa whanau noa ratou, ka mate ano i ahau te mea e matenuitia ana, te hua o to ratou kopu.

17 My God will reject you because you have not listened to him, and you will become homeless wanderers among the nations.

Ka paopao toku Atua ki a ratou, mo ratou kihai i rongo ki a ia: a ka waiho ratou hei kopikopiko i roto i nga tauiwi.
