Hosea 11
1 When Israel was a childe, then I loued him, and called my sonne out of Egypt.
“ʻI he kei tamasiʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ne u ʻofa ki ai, pea ne u ui hoku foha mei ʻIsipite.
2 They called them, but they went thus from them: they sacrificed vnto Baalim, and burnt incense to images.
ʻI heʻenau ui kiate kinautolu, pehē ne nau ʻalu meiate kinautolu: naʻa nau feilaulau kia Pealimi, pea nau tutu ʻae ʻakau namu kakala ki he ngaahi tamapua kuo tongitongi.
3 I ledde Ephraim also, as one shoulde beare them in his armes: but they knewe not that I healed them.
Naʻaku akoʻi foki ʻa ʻIfalemi ke ʻalu, ʻi he puke ʻaki honau nima; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ko au naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
4 I led them with cordes of a man, euen with bandes of loue, and I was to them, as hee that taketh off the yoke from their iawes, and I laide the meat vnto them.
Naʻaku toho ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae afo ʻae tangata, ʻaki ʻae noʻo ʻoe ʻofa: pea naʻaku hangē ko ia ʻoku toʻo ʻae nonoʻo mei honau ngutu, pea ne u tuku ʻae meʻakai ʻi honau ʻao.
5 He shall no more returne into the lande of Egypt: but Asshur shalbe his King, because they refused to conuert.
“ʻE ʻikai te ne toe liliu ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsipite, ka ʻe hoko ʻae ʻAsilia ko hono tuʻi, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau loto ke liliu.
6 And the sworde shall fall on his cities, and shall consume his barres, and deuoure them, because of their owne counsels.
Pea ʻe nofomaʻu ki hono ngaahi kolo ʻae heletā, pea te ne fakaʻosi hono ngaahi vaʻa, pea kai ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau fakakaukau ʻanautolu pe.
7 And my people are bent to rebellion against me: though they called them to the most hie, yet none at all would exalt him.
Pea kuo pau pe hoku kakai ke fakaholomui meiate au: neongo ʻenau ui ʻakinautolu ki he Fungani Māʻolunga, naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha te ne hakeakiʻi ia.
8 Howe shall I giue thee vp, Ephraim? howe shall I deliuer thee, Israel? how shall I make thee, as Admah? howe shall I set thee, as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within mee: my repentings are rouled together.
“ʻE fēfeeʻi ʻa ʻeku fakatukutukuʻi koe, ʻe ʻIfalemi? Te u fakahaofi fēfeeʻi koe, ʻe ʻIsileli? ʻE fēfeeʻi ʻeku ngaohi ko e ke hangē ko ʻAtima? Te u tuku koe fēfeeʻi ke hangē ko Sipoimi? Kuo liliu hoku loto ʻiate au, kuo tupu fakataha ʻa ʻeku fakatomala.
9 I wil not execute ye fiercenesse of my wrath: I will not returne to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man, the holy one in the middes of thee, and I will not enter into the citie.
ʻE ʻikai te u fai ki hono kakaha ʻo hoku houhau, ʻe ʻikai te u tafoki ke fakaʻauha ʻa ʻIfalemi: pe ko e ʻOtua au, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e tangata; ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻoku ʻi homou lotolotonga: pea ʻe ʻikai teu hū ki he loto kolo.
10 They shall walke after the Lord: he shall roare like a lyon: when hee shall roare, then the children of the West shall feare.
Te nau muimui kia Sihova: te ne ngungulu hangē ko e laione; ʻi heʻene ngungulu ʻe tetetete ʻae fānau mei he lulunga.
11 They shall feare as a sparrow out of Egypt, and as a doue of the lande of Asshur, and I will place them in their houses, sayth the Lord.
Te nau tetetete hangē ko e manupuna mei ʻIsipite, pea hangē ko e lupe mei he fonua ʻo ʻAsilia: pea te u tuku ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ngaahi fale,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
12 Ephraim copasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Iudah yet ruleth with God, and is faithfull with the Saints.
ʻOku takatakai ʻaki au ʻe ʻIfalemi ʻae loi, pea mo e fale ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻae kākā: ka ʻoku kei pule ʻa Siuta mo e ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ne angatonu mo e ngaahi kakai māʻoniʻoni.
