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.
“ʻAi ʻae meʻalea ki ho ngutu. Te ne haʻu ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale ki he fale ʻo Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo nau maumauʻi ʻeku fuakava, pea fai talangataʻa ki heʻeku fono.
2 Israel shall crie vnto me, My God, we know thee.
ʻE tangi ʻa ʻIsileli kiate au, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku mau ʻilo koe.’
3 Israel hath cast off ye thing that is good: the enemie shall pursue him.
Kuo liʻaki ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae meʻa ʻoku lelei: ʻe tuli ia ʻe he fili.
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.
Kuo nau fakanofo ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, kae ʻikai ʻiate au: kuo nau tuʻutuʻuni ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki, pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo: kuo nau ngaohi ʻaki ʻa ʻenau siliva mo ʻenau koula ʻae tamapua, koeʻuhi ka nau ʻauha.
5 Thy calfe, O Samaria, hath cast thee off: mine anger is kindled against them: howe long will they be without innocencie!
Ko hoʻo ʻuhiki pulu, ʻE Samēlia, kuo ne liʻaki koe; kuo tupu ʻeku ʻita kiate kinautolu: ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa, ka nau hoko ʻo taʻehalaia?
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.
He naʻe meia ʻIsileli foki ia: ko e tufunga naʻa ne ngaohi ia; ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ia: ka ko e pulu siʻi ʻa Samēlia, ʻe maumauʻi ia ke fakaikiiki.
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.
He kuo nau tūtuuʻi ʻae matangi, pea te nau utu ʻae ʻahiohio: ʻoku ʻikai hano muka: ʻe ʻikai maʻu ha mahoaʻa mei hono fua: ka ai ha fua, ʻe kai ia ʻo ʻosi ʻe he kau muli.
8 Israel is deuoured, now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessell wherein is no pleasure.
Kuo fōngia hifo ʻa ʻIsileli: te nau hoko ni ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe Senitaile, ʻo hangē ko e ipu ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha fiemālie.
9 For they are gone vp to Asshur: they are as a wilde asse alone by himselfe: Ephraim hath hired louers.
He kuo nau ʻalu hake ki ʻAsilia, ha ʻasi kai vao tokotaha pe: kuo unga ʻe ʻIfalemi ʻae kau mamana.
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.
ʻIo, neongo kuo nau unga ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, te u tānaki ni ʻakinautolu, pea te nau mamahi siʻi, koeʻuhi ko e kavenga ʻae tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi ʻeiki.
11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sinne, his altars shalbe to sinne.
Koeʻuhi kuo ngaohi ʻe ʻIfalemi ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga lahi ke angahala, ʻe ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ke angahala ai.
12 I haue written to them the great things of my Lawe: but they were counted as a strange thing.
Kuo u tohi kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻa ʻeku fono, ka naʻe lau ia hangē ha meʻa kehe.
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.
ʻOku nau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae kakano, ko e ngaahi feilaulau ʻo ʻeku ngaahi hifo, pea kai; ka ʻoku ʻikai ke maʻu ia ʻe Sihova, he te ne manatu ni ʻenau hia, pea totongi ki heʻenau ngaahi angahala: te nau liliu atu ki ʻIsipite.
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.
He kuo fakangaloʻi ʻe ʻIsileli ʻa hono Tupuʻanga, pea ʻoku ne langa ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiki; pea kuo fakalahi ʻe Siuta ʻae ngaahi kolo kuo ʻāʻi: ka te u fekau ʻae afi ki hono ngaahi kolo, pea te ne kai ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻi ai.”
