Hosea 8
1 Set the trumpet to thy mouth: he shall come as an eagle against the House of the Lord, because they haue transgressed my couenant, and trespassed against my Lawe.
Meinga te tetere ki tou mangai. Ka rite ia ki te ekara, ina whakaekea e ia te whare o Ihowa; mo ratou i whakataka i taku kawenata, i takahi i taku ture.
2 Israel shall crie vnto me, My God, we know thee.
Tera ratou e karanga ki ahau, E toku Atua, e mohio ana matou, a Iharaira, ki a koe.
3 Israel hath cast off ye thing that is good: the enemie shall pursue him.
Kua akiritia e Iharaira te mea pai: ka whaia ia e te hoariri.
4 They haue set vp a King, but not by me: they haue made princes, and I knew it not: of their siluer and their gold haue they made them idoles: therefore shall they be destroyed.
Ko ta ratou whakarite kingi ehara i te mea naku, ko ta ratou whakarite rangatira ehara i te mea i mohiotia e ahau: kua hanga e ratou ta ratou hiriwa, ko ta ratou koura hei whakapakoko ma ratou, he mea e hatepea ai ratou.
5 Thy calfe, O Samaria, hath cast thee off: mine anger is kindled against them: howe long will they be without innocencie!
Kua akiritia e ia tau kuao kau, e Hamaria: kua mura toku riri ki a ratou: kia pehea ake te roa ka tae ai ratou ki te harakore?
6 For it came euen from Israel: the workeman made it, therefore it is not God: but the calfe of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
Na Iharaira nei hoki taua kuao na, he mea hanga na te kaimahi; na ehara ia i te Atua: ae ra, ka pakaru rikiriki te kuao o Hamaria.
7 For they haue sowne the winde, and they shall reape the whirlewind: it hath no stalke: the budde shall bring foorth no meale: if so be it bring forth, the strangers shall deuoure it.
Na, ko ta ratou i whakato ai ko te hau, ko ta ratou e kokoti ai ko te paroro: kahore ona witi e tupu ana: e kore te kopuku e whai paraoa: ki te whai paraoa, ka horomia e nga tautangata.
8 Israel is deuoured, now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessell wherein is no pleasure.
Kua horomia a Iharaira: kua rite ratou inaianei i roto i nga tauiwi ki te oko kihai i manakohia.
9 For they are gone vp to Asshur: they are as a wilde asse alone by himselfe: Ephraim hath hired louers.
Kua riro hoki ratou ki Ahiria, ano he kaihe mohoao, he moke, ko ia anake: kua utua e Eparaima etahi hei whaiaipo.
10 Yet though they haue hired among the nations, nowe will I gather them, and they shall sorowe a litle, for the burden of the King and the princes.
Ae ra, ahakoa utu noa ratou i roto i nga iwi, ka kohikohia ano ratou e ahau ianei; a ka timata ratou te iti haere, i te pikaunga a te kingi o nga rangatira.
11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sinne, his altars shalbe to sinne.
Kua maha nei nga aata a Eparaima hei mea hara, na ka waiho nga aata hei hara mona.
12 I haue written to them the great things of my Lawe: but they were counted as a strange thing.
Ahakoa tuhituhia e ahau mana taku ture kia tekau mano nga tikanga, kei te kiia aua mea he mea rere ke.
13 They sacrifice flesh for ye sacrifices of mine offerings, and eate it: but the Lord accepteth them not: now will he remember their iniquitie, and visite their sinnes: they shall returne to Egypt.
Na ko nga patunga tapu hei whakahere ki ahau, e patu kikokiko ana ratou, kainga iho; otiia kahore e manakohia ana e Ihowa; akuanei ia mahara ai ki to ratou he, whiu ai i o ratou hara: ka hoki ratou ki Ihipa.
14 For Israel hath forgotten his maker, and buildeth Temples, and Iudah hath increased strong cities: but I will sende a fire vpon his cities, and it shall deuoure the palaces thereof.
Kua wareware hoki a Iharaira ki tona kaihanga, a kei te hanga temepara; kua meinga e Hura kia maha nga pa taiepa: otiia ka tukua atu e ahau he ahi ki runga ki ona pa, a ka kainga e tera ona whare kingi.
