< Hosea 5 >

1 O ye Priestes, heare this, and hearken ye, O house of Israel, and giue ye eare, O house of the King: for iudgement is towarde you, because you haue bene a snare on Mizpah, and a net spred vpon Tabor.
Whakarongo ki tenei, e nga tohunga, mahara mai, e te whare o Iharaira, kia whai taringa mai hoki, e te whare o te kingi, mo koutou hoki te whakawa; no te mea kua waiho koutou hei rore ki Mihipa, hei kupenga horahora ki runga ki Taporo.
2 Yet they were profounde, to decline to slaughter, though I haue bene a rebuker of them all.
A hohonu ana te hounga o te patu a te hunga tutu; ko ahau ia te kairiri i te he o ratou katoa.
3 I knowe Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for nowe, O Ephraim thou art become an harlot, and Israel is defiled.
E mohio ana ahau ki a Eparaima, kahore a Iharaira e ngaro i ahau; kei te moepuku nei hoki koe inaianei, e Eparaima, kua poke a Iharaira.
4 They will not giue their mindes to turne vnto their God: for the spirit of fornication is in the middes of them, and they haue not knowen the Lord.
E kore hoki ratou e tukua e a ratou mahi kia hoki ki to ratou Atua; kei roto hoki i a ratou te wairua moepuku, kahore o ratou mohio ki a Ihowa.
5 And the pride of Israel doth testifie to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquitie: Iudah also shall fall with them.
E whakaaturia ana ta Iharaira e tona whakapehapeha ki tona aroaro ano: na ka hinga a Iharaira raua ko Eparaima i runga i to raua he, me Hura, ka hinga ngatahi ratou.
6 They shall goe with their sheepe, and with their bullockes to seeke the Lord: but they shall not finde him: for he hath withdrawne himselfe from them.
Ka haere ratou me a ratou hipi, me a ratou kau, ki te rapu i a Ihowa; heoi e kore e kitea; kua mawehe atu ia i roto i a ratou.
7 They haue transgressed against the Lord: for they haue begotte strange children: now shall a moneth deuoure them with their portions.
Kua tinihanga ratou ki a Ihowa: he tamariki tangata ke hoki a ratou tamariki: akuanei ka pau ratou me a ratou wahi i te marama kohiti.
8 Blowe ye the trumpet in Gibeah, and the shaume in Ramah: crie out at Beth-auen, after thee, O Beniamin.
Whakatangihia te koronete ki Kipea, te tetere ki Rama: whakatangihia he whakaoho ki Peteawene; i muri i a koe, e Pineamine.
9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel haue I caused to knowe the trueth.
Ka ururua a Eparaima i te ra e riria ai te he: takoto rawa te mea kua whakaaturia nei e ahau i roto i nga hapu o Iharaira.
10 The princes of Iudah were like them that remoue the bounde: therefore will I powre out my wrath vpon them like water.
E rite ana nga rangatira o Hura ki te hunga e whakaneke atu ana i te rohe; ka tahoroa e ahau toku riri ki runga ki a ratou ano he wai.
11 Ephraim is oppressed, and broken in iudgement, because he willingly walked after the commandement.
E tukinotia ana, e whakapetia ana a Eparaima i te whakawakanga, mona i pai ki te whai i te whakahau.
12 Therefore wil I be vnto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Iudah as a rottennesse.
Na reira, ka rite taku ki a Eparaima ki ta te purehurehu, ka rite hoki ki te pirau taku ki te whare o Hura.
13 When Ephraim sawe his sickenes, and Iudah his wound, then went Ephraim vnto Asshur, and sent vnto King Iareb: yet coulde hee not heale you, nor cure you of your wound.
I te wa i kite ai a Eparaima i tona mate, a Hura hoki i tona marutanga, na haere ana a Eparaima ki Ahiria, tuku tangata ana ia ki a Kingi Iarepe: heoi e kore koutou e taea e ia te rongoa, e kore hoki e ora i a ia to koutou marutanga.
14 For I will be vnto Ephraim as a lyon, and as a lyons whelpe to the house of Iudah: I, euen I will spoyle, and goe away: I will take away, and none shall rescue it.
Ka rite hoki taku ki a Eparaima ki ta te raiona, taku ki te whare o Hura ka rite ki ta te kuao raiona: ka haehae ahau, ina, ahau ano, a ka haere; ka maua atu e ahau, a kahore he kaiwhakaora.
15 I will go, and returne to my place, til they acknowledge their fault, and seeke me: in their affliction they will seeke me diligently.
Ka haere ahau ka hoki ki toku wahi, kia whakaae ra ano ratou ki to ratou he, kia rapua ra ano toku mata e ratou: a, i a ratou e mate ana, kaha tonu ta ratou rapu i ahau.
