< Hosea 5 >

1 Hear this, O ye priests, and attend, ye house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king, for unto you pertaineth the judgment; for ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
Whakarongo ki tenei, e nga tohunga, mahara mai, e te whare o Iharaira, kia whai taringa mai hoki, e te whare o te kingi, mo koutou hoki te whakawa; no te mea kua waiho koutou hei rore ki Mihipa, hei kupenga horahora ki runga ki Taporo.
2 And they that fall away are gone deep in making slaughter; and I am rejected of them all.
A hohonu ana te hounga o te patu a te hunga tutu; ko ahau ia te kairiri i te he o ratou katoa.
3 I, even I, know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from Me; for now, O Ephraim, thou hast committed harlotry, Israel is defiled.
E mohio ana ahau ki a Eparaima, kahore a Iharaira e ngaro i ahau; kei te moepuku nei hoki koe inaianei, e Eparaima, kua poke a Iharaira.
4 Their doings will not suffer them to return unto their God; for the spirit of harlotry is within them, and they know not the LORD.
E kore hoki ratou e tukua e a ratou mahi kia hoki ki to ratou Atua; kei roto hoki i a ratou te wairua moepuku, kahore o ratou mohio ki a Ihowa.
5 But the pride of Israel shall testify to his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity, Judah also shall stumble with them.
E whakaaturia ana ta Iharaira e tona whakapehapeha ki tona aroaro ano: na ka hinga a Iharaira raua ko Eparaima i runga i to raua he, me Hura, ka hinga ngatahi ratou.
6 With their flocks and with their herds they shall go to seek the LORD, but they shall not find Him; He hath withdrawn Himself from them.
Ka haere ratou me a ratou hipi, me a ratou kau, ki te rapu i a Ihowa; heoi e kore e kitea; kua mawehe atu ia i roto i a ratou.
7 They have dealt treacherously against the LORD, for they have begotten strange children; now shall the new moon devour them with their portions.
Kua tinihanga ratou ki a Ihowa: he tamariki tangata ke hoki a ratou tamariki: akuanei ka pau ratou me a ratou wahi i te marama kohiti.
8 Blow ye the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah; sound an alarm at Beth-aven: 'Behind thee, O Benjamin!'
Whakatangihia te koronete ki Kipea, te tetere ki Rama: whakatangihia he whakaoho ki Peteawene; i muri i a koe, e Pineamine.
9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; among the tribes of Israel do I make known that which shall surely be.
Ka ururua a Eparaima i te ra e riria ai te he: takoto rawa te mea kua whakaaturia nei e ahau i roto i nga hapu o Iharaira.
10 The princes of Judah are like them that remove the landmark; I will pour out My wrath upon them like water.
E rite ana nga rangatira o Hura ki te hunga e whakaneke atu ana i te rohe; ka tahoroa e ahau toku riri ki runga ki a ratou ano he wai.
11 Oppressed is Ephraim, crushed in his right; because he willingly walked after filth.
E tukinotia ana, e whakapetia ana a Eparaima i te whakawakanga, mona i pai ki te whai i te whakahau.
12 Therefore am I unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
Na reira, ka rite taku ki a Eparaima ki ta te purehurehu, ka rite hoki ki te pirau taku ki te whare o Hura.
13 And when Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Contentious; but he is not able to heal you, neither shall he cure you of your wound.
I te wa i kite ai a Eparaima i tona mate, a Hura hoki i tona marutanga, na haere ana a Eparaima ki Ahiria, tuku tangata ana ia ki a Kingi Iarepe: heoi e kore koutou e taea e ia te rongoa, e kore hoki e ora i a ia to koutou marutanga.
14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah; I, even I, will tear and go away, I will take away, and there shall be none to deliver.
Ka rite hoki taku ki a Eparaima ki ta te raiona, taku ki te whare o Hura ka rite ki ta te kuao raiona: ka haehae ahau, ina, ahau ano, a ka haere; ka maua atu e ahau, a kahore he kaiwhakaora.
15 I will go and return to My place, till they acknowledge their guilt, and seek My face; in their trouble they will seek Me earnestly:
Ka haere ahau ka hoki ki toku wahi, kia whakaae ra ano ratou ki to ratou he, kia rapua ra ano toku mata e ratou: a, i a ratou e mate ana, kaha tonu ta ratou rapu i ahau.
