< Hosea 2 >

1 Say ye unto your brethren: 'Ammi'; and to your sisters, 'Ruhamah.'
O Ami, a i ko oukou mau hoahanau wahine, O Ruhama.
2 Plead with your mother, plead; for she is not My wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her harlotries from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
E hakaka oukou me ko oukou makuwahine, e hakaka oukou; No ka mea, aole oia o ka'u wahine; Aole hoi wau o kana kane: I haalele ai oia i kona hookamakama ana mai kona maka aku, A me kona moe kolohe hoi mai waena aku o kona mau u:
3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
O wehe aku au ia ia a olohelohe, A e hooku ia ia e like me ia i ka la ana i hanau ai, A e hoolilo ia ia e like me ka waoakua, A e hooku hoi ia ia e like me ka aina maloo, A e pepehi ia ia i ka makewai.
4 And I will not have compassion upon her children; for they are children of harlotry.
Aole au e aloha aku i kana poe keiki, No ka mea, he poe keiki lakou na ka moe kolohe.
5 For their mother hath played the harlot, she that conceived them hath done shamefully; for she said: 'I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.'
No ka mea, ua moe kolohe ko lakou makuwahine, Ua hana hilahila ka mea nana lakou i hapai: No ka mea, i iho la ia, E hele aku au mamuli o kuu mau ipo, Ka poe i haawi mai i ka'u ai, a me ko'u wai, i ko'u hulu hipa, a me kuu olona, o ko'u aila, a me ko'u mea inu.
6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will make a wall against her, that she shall not find her paths.
No ia mea, aia hoi, e hoopuni au i kou ala i na laau kuku, A e hana au i papohaku nona, I mea e loaa ole ai ia ia kona mau alanui.
7 And she shall run after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them, and she shall seek them, but shall not find them; then shall she say: 'I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.'
A hahai aku no ia i kona mau hoaaloha, aole e loaa lakou ia ia; A imi aku hoi ia ia lakou, aole e loaa; Alaila, e i iho ia, E hele au, a e hoi hou i kuu kane mamua; No ka mea, ua oi aku ko'u pono i kela wa mamua o keia.
8 For she did not know that it was I that gave her the corn, and the wine, and the oil, and multiplied unto her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
Aole oia i noonoo, ua haawi aku au ia ia i ka mea ai, a me ka waina hou. a me ka aila, A hoomahuahua aku hoi i ke kala, a me ke gula nona, Na mea a lakou i hoomakaukau ai no Baala.
9 Therefore will I take back My corn in the time thereof, and My wine in the season thereof, and will snatch away My wool and My flax given to cover her nakedness.
No ia mea, e hoi hou mai au, a e lawe aku i ka'u palaoa i kona manawa, A me ka'u wain a hou i kona manawa iho, E lawe aku hoi au i ko'u hulu hipa, a me ko'u olona, na mea i uhi ai i kona olohelohe.
10 And now will I uncover her shame in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of My hand.
Ano e hoike aku au i kona mea hilahila imua o na maka o kona mau hoaaloha, Aohe mea e hoopakele ia ia mai ko'u lima aku.
11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her appointed seasons.
A e hoopau aku au i kona lealea a pau, I kana mau ahaaina, i kona mau mahina hou, i kona mau la Sabati. a me kona mau ahaaina a pau.
12 And I will lay waste her vines and her fig-trees, whereof she hath said: 'These are my hire that my lovers have given me'; and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
A e luku aku au i kona mau kumuwaina, a me kona mau laau fiku, i na mea ana i i mai ai, Oia ka'u uku, o ko'u mau ipo i haawi mai ai ia'u; A e hoolilo au ia mau mea i ululaau, A e ai iho na holoholona ia mau mea.
13 And I will visit upon her the days of the Baalim, wherein she offered unto them, and decked herself with her ear-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot Me, saith the LORD.
A e hoopai aku au maluna ona i na la o na Baala, I na la ana i kuni ai i ka mea ala no lakou; A i kahiko ai ia ia iho i kona mau apo-ihu, a me kona mau lei-a-i, A hahai no ia mamuli o kona mau ipo, A hoopoina ia ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly unto her.
Nolaila, aia hoi, e hoowalewale au ia ia, a e alakai aku ia ia i ka waonahele, A e olelo oluolu aku ia ia.
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
A e haawi aku au nona i kona mau malawaina mailaila mai, A i ke awawa o Akora, i puka o ka manaolana; A e mele no ia malaila, e like me ia i kona wa opio, A e like me ia i ka wa ana i puka mai ai mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call Me Ishi, and shalt call Me no more Baali.
A i kela manawa, wahi a Iehova, e kapa mai oe ia'u o Isi; Aole e kapa hou ia'u, o Baali.
17 For I will take away the names of the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.
A e lawe ae au i ka inoa o na Baala mai kona waha aku, Aole e hoomanao hou ia lakou ma ko lakou inoa.
18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground; and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely.
A i kela manawa e hana aku au no lakou i berita Me na holoholona o ke kula, a me na manu o ka lewa, A me na mea kolo o ka honua: A e haki ia'u ke kakaka, a me ka pahikaua, a me ka mea kaua mai ka honua aku, A e hoomoe iho au ia lakou me ka maluhia.
19 And I will betroth thee unto Me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto Me in righteousness, and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in compassion.
E hoopalau aku au ia oe na'u a mau loa aku; A e hoopalau aku au ia oe na'u ma ka pono, a ma ka hoopono, a ma ka lokomaikai, a ma ke aloha.
20 And I will betroth thee unto Me in faithfulness; and thou shalt know the LORD.
A e hoopalau aku no hoi au ia oe na'u ma ka oiaio: A e ike aku oe ia Iehova.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will respond, saith the LORD, I will respond to the heavens, and they shall respond to the earth;
A i kela manawa, e hoolohe no au, wahi a Iehova, E hoolohe no au i na lani, a e hoolohe lakou i ka honua;
22 And the earth shall respond to the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall respond to Jezreel.
A e hoolohe ka honua i ka ai, a me ka waina, a me ka aila; A e hoolohe no lakou ia Iezereela.
23 And I will sow her unto Me in the land; and I will have compassion upon her that had not obtained compassion; and I will say to them that were not My people: 'Thou art My people'; and they shall say: 'Thou art my God.'
A e kanu iho au ia ia ma ka honua; A e aloha aku au i ka mea i aloha ole ia; A e olelo aku au i ka poe kanaka aole no'u, O oe ko'u poe kanaka; A e olelo mai hoi lakou, O oe ko makou Akua.
