Hosea 10

1 Israel was a luxuriant vine, which put forth fruit freely: as his fruit increased, he increased his altars; the more goodly his land was, the more goodly were his pillars.

He waina tupu wana a Iharaira, e whakaputa ana i ona hua: kua meinga e ia kia maha ana aata kia rite ki te maha o ona hua; kua hanga e ratou he whakapakoko whakapaipai rite tonu ki te pai o tona whenua.

2 Their heart is divided; now shall they bear their guilt; He will break down their altars, He will spoil their pillars.

Kua wehe rua o ratou ngakau, akuanei ka kitea to ratou he: ka wahia e ia a ratou aata, ka pahuatia a ratou whakapakoko.

3 Surely now shall they say: 'We have no king; for we feared not the LORD; and the king, what can he do for us?'

He pono akuanei ratou ki ai, Kahore o tatou kingi: kahore hoki tatou i te wehi ki a Ihowa; a ko te kingi, ko te aha tana mo tatou?

4 They speak words, they swear falsely, they make covenants; thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.

E korero ana ratou i nga korero horihori, e oati teka ana i te mea e whakarite whakawa ana: na reira e rite ana te tupu o te whakawa ki to te hemoreke i nga moa o te mara.

5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall be in dread for the calves of Beth-aven; for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof shall tremble for it, for its glory, because it is departed from it.

Manukanuka tonu nga tangata o Hamaria ki nga kuao kau o Peteawene; ka tangihia hoki e tona iwi, e ona tohunga i whakamanamana nei ki a ia; mo tona kororia kua memeha atu nei i reira.

6 It also shall be carried unto Assyria, for a present to King Contentious; Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

Ka kawea ano hoki taua kuao ki Ahiria hei hakari ki a Kingi Iarepe: ka pa te whakama ki a Eparaima, ka whakama ano a Iharaira ki tana whakaaro i whakatakoto ai.

7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off, as foam upon the water.

Na ko Hamaria, kua kore tona kingi, ano he pahuka i runga i te wai.

8 The high places also of Aven shall be destroyed, even the sin of Israel. The thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains: 'Cover us', and to the hills: 'Fall on us.'

Ka whakakahoretia ano nga wahi tiketike o Awene, te hara o Iharaira; ka puta ake te tataramoa me te tumatakuru ki runga ki a ratou aata, a ka mea ratou ki nga maunga, Taupokina matou; ki nga pukepuke, E hinga ki runga ki a matou.

9 From the days of Gibeah thou hast sinned, O Israel; there they stood; no battle was to overtake them in Gibeah, nor the children of arrogancy.

E Iharaira, he hara tou, mai ano i nga ra i Kipea: tu ana ratou i reira: kia kore ai ratou e mau ki Kipea i te whawhai ki nga tama a te kino.

10 When it is My desire, I will chastise them; and the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they are yoked to their two rings.

Kia hiahia ahau, ka whiua ratou e ahau; ka huihui ano nga iwi ki te whawhai ki a ratou, i a ratou ka herea nei ki o ratou he e rua.

11 And Ephraim is a heifer well broken, that loveth to thresh, and I have passed over upon her fair neck; I will make Ephraim to ride, Judah shall plow, Jacob shall break his clods.

He kuao kau ano a Eparaima kua oti te whakaako, pai tonu ia ki te takahi witi; kua tika atu ia ahau i runga i tona kaki pai: ka meinga e ahau he kaieke mo Eparaima; ko Hura ki te parau, ko Hakopa ki te wawahi i ana pokuru.

12 Sow to yourselves according to righteousness, reap according to mercy, break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, till He come and cause righteousness to rain upon you.

Whakatokia ta koutou i runga i te tika, tapahia i runga i te mahi tohu; mahia ta koutou patohe: ko te wa hoki tenei e rapua ai a Ihowa, kia tae mai ra ano ia, kia ringihia ra ano e ia te tika ki runga ki a koutou.

13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity, ye have eaten the fruit of lies; for thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

Ko ta koutou i parau ai ko te kino, ko ta koutou i kokoti ai ko te he; ko ta koutou kai ko nga hua o te teka: nau hoki i whakawhirinaki ki tou ara, ki te tini o ou tangata marohirohi.

14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy hosts, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle; the mother was dashed in pieces with her children.

Mo reira ka ara he ngangau i roto i ou iwi, a ka pahuatia ou pa taiepa katoa, ka rite ki ta Haramana pahuatanga i Petearapere i te ra o te whawhai: ko te whaea, taia iho ratou ko nga tamariki, mongamonga ana.

15 So hath Beth-el done unto you because of your great wickedness; at daybreak is the king of Israel utterly cut off.

Ko ta Peteere tenei e mea ai ki a koutou, he nui no to koutou kino: ka whakangaromia rawatia te kingi o Iharaira i te atatu.
