Hosea 14
1 O Israel, returne vnto the Lord thy God: for thou hast fallen by thine iniquitie.
E KA Iseraela, e huli mai oe ia Iehova kou Akua; No ka mea, ua haule oe ma kou hewa iho.
2 Take vnto you words, and turne to the Lord, and say vnto him, Take away all iniquitie, and receiue vs graciously: so wil we render the calues of our lippes.
E lawe me oukou i na olelo, a e huli oukou ia Iehova: E i aku ia ia, E lawe aku oe i na hewa a pau, A e ae lokomaikai mai, A e hoihoi aku makou i na mohai o ko makou lehelehe.
3 Asshur shall not saue vs, neither wil we ride vpon horses, neither will we say any more to the worke of our handes, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherlesse findeth mercie.
Aole e hoola ko Asuria ia makou; Aole makou e holo maluna o ka lio; Aole hoi makou e olelo hou aku i ka hana a ko makou mau lima. O oe ko makou Akua: No ka mea, ma ou la e loaa'i i ka poe makua ole ka lokomaikai.
4 I wil heale their rebellion: I wil loue them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
A e kala aku au i ko lakou kipi ana, E aloha wale aku hoi au ia lakou: No ka mea, ua huli ae kuu inaina mai ona aku la.
5 I will be as the dewe vnto Israel: he shall grow as the lilie and fasten his rootes, as the trees of Lebanon.
E like auanei au me ka hau i ka Iseraela; E pua auanei oia e like me ka lilia, A e kolo lea kona mau aa e like me Lebanona.
6 His branches shall spread, and his beautie shalbe as the oliue tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
A e palahalaha aku kona mau lala, A e like auanei kona nani me ka laau oliva, E like hoi kona ala me Lebanona.
7 They that dwel vnder his shadow, shall returne: they shall reuiue as the corne, and florish as the vine: the sent thereof shalbe as the wine of Lebanon.
E hoi mai ka poe e noho ana malalo o kona malu; E kupu mai lakou me ka ai, A e ulu lakou me ke kumuwaina: A o kona inoa ua like me ka waina o Lebanona.
8 Ephraim shall say, What haue I to doe any more with idoles? I haue heard him, and looked vpon him: I am like a greene firre tree: vpon me is thy fruite founde.
E olelo iho o Eperaima, Heaha ka'u e hana hou aku ai i na kii? Ua lohe au a ua nana hou au ia ia; Ua like au me ka laau kaa uliuli; Mai o'u aku ua loaa ia oe ka hua.
9 Who is wise, and he shall vnderstande these things? and prudent, and he shall knowe them? for the wayes of the Lord are righteous, and the iust shall walke in them: but the wicked shall fall therein.
Owai ka mea naauao, i noonoo ai oia i keia mau mea? A akamai hoi, i ike ai oia i keia mau mea? No ka mea, o na aoao o Iehova, ua pololei, A e hele ka poe pono iloko olaila; Aka, o ka poe lawehala, e haule lakou iloko olaila.
