Hosea 4
1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel! for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
E HOOLOHE oukou, e na mamo a Iseraela, i ka olelo a Iehova: no ka mea, he hakaka ko Iehova me na kanaka o ka aina; No ka mea, aohe oiaio, aohe aloha, aohe ike i ke Akua ma ka aina.
2 Swearing and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery! they break all bounds, and blood toucheth blood.
O ka hoohiki ino, ka hoopunipuni, ka pepehi kanaka, ka aihue, a me ka moe kolohe, ka lakou i hoomahuahua ae ai, a pili aku no ke koko i ke koko.
3 Therefore doth the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein doth languish, with the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also are taken away.
No ia mea, e kanikau auanei ka aina, A e nawaliwali na mea a pau e noho ana maluna ona, Me na holoholona o ke kula, a me na manu o ka lewa; Oia, e laweia'ku hoi na ia o ke kai.
4 Yet let no man strive, neither let any man reprove; for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
Aka, mai hakaka kekahi kanaka, aole hoi e papa aku ia hai: No ka mea, o kou poe kanaka, ua like lakou me ka poe e hakaka ana me ke kahuna.
5 Therefore shalt thou stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with thee in the night; and I will destroy thy mother.
Nolaila e hina oe i ke ao, O ke kaula hoi, e hina pu ia me oe i ka po; A e luku aku au i kou makuwahine.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to Me; seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.
Ua lukuia ko'u poe kanaka no ka ike ole: No ka mea, ua hoowahawaha oe i ka ike, E hoowahawaha aku hoi au ia oe, Aole oe e malama i ka oihanakahuna na'u: A no kou hoopoina ana i ke kanawai o kou Akua, Owau hoi kekahi e hoopoina i kau poe keiki.
7 The more they were increased, the more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame.
E like me ko lakou nui ana, pela lakou i hana hewa mai ai ia'u: A e hoololi au i ko lakou nani i mea hilahila.
8 They feed on the sin of My people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
Ua ai lakou i ka hewa o kuu poe kanaka, A ua kau i ko lakou mau naau ma ko lakou la hala.
9 And it is like people, like priest; and I will punish him for his ways, and will recompense him his doings.
A e like auanei me na kanaka, pela no me ke kahuna: A e hoopai aku au ia lakou e like me ko lakou mau aoao, A e hoouku aku au ia lakou e like me ka lakou hana ana.
10 And they shall eat, and not have enough, they shall commit harlotry, and shall not increase; because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.
A e ai lakou, aole nae e maona, A e moe kolohe lakou, aole nae e mahuahua ae; No ka mea, ua hooki lakou i ka malama ia Iehova.
11 Harlotry, wine, and new wine take away the heart.
O ka moe kolohe, o ka waina, a me ka waina hou, oia ke lawe aku i ka naau.
12 My people ask counsel at their stock, and their staff declareth unto them; for the spirit of harlotry hath caused them to err, and they have gone astray from under their God.
Ke ninau nei kuu poe kanaka i ko lakou kii laau, A ua hoike mai ko lakou kookoo ia lakou; No ka mea, ua hooauwana ka naau moe kolohe ia lakou; Ua hele moe kolohe lakou mai lalo ae o ko lakou Akua.
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and offer upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and terebinths, because the shadow thereof is good; therefore your daughters commit harlotry, and your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
Kaumaha aku la lakou ma kahi kiekie o na mauna, A kuni i ka mea ala maluna o na puu, Malalo o ka laau oka, a me ka laau popela, a me ka laau kaa, No ka mea, ua oluolu kona malumalu: No ia mea, e moe kolohe ka oukou poe kaikamahine, A e moe kolohe ka oukou poe hunona wahine.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit harlotry, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery; for they themselves consort with lewd women, and they sacrifice with harlots; and the people that is without understanding is distraught.
Aole au e hoopai aku i ka oukou poe kaikamahine no ko lakou moe kolohe ana, A i ka oukou poe hunona wahine no ko lakou moe kolohe ana: No ka mea, ua hookaawale pu lakou ia lakou iho me na wahine hookamakama, A ua mohai pu lakou me na wahine moe kolohe: A o ka poe kanaka ike ole, e make no lakou.
15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah become guilty; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear: 'As the LORD liveth.'
Ina o oe, e ka Iseraela, i moe kolohe, mai hana hewa o ka luda: A mai hele oukou i Gilegala, Mai pii ae oukou i Betavena, Mai hoohiki, E ola o Iehova.
16 For Israel is stubborn like a stubborn heifer; now shall the LORD feed them as a lamb in a large place?
No ka mea, ua paakiki o ka Iseraela, e like me ka paakiki o ka bipiwahine hou: Ano e hanai o Iehova ia lakou, e like me ke keikihipa ma kahi akea.
17 Ephraim is joined to idols; let him alone.
Ua hui pu o Eperaima me na kii, e waiho aku ia ia.
18 When their carouse is over, they take to harlotry; her rulers deeply love dishonour.
Ua hewa ka lakou ahainu, Ua mau ko lakou moe kolohe ana; A ake kona poe alii i ka hilahila.
19 The wind hath bound her up in her skirts; and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
Ua hoopaa ka makani ia ia iloko o kona mau eheu, A e hilahila auanei lakou i ka lakou mau mohai.
