Hosea 6
1 'Come, and let us return unto the LORD; for He hath torn, and He will heal us, He hath smitten, and He will bind us up.
I NA kakou e hoi hou aku ia Iehova, No ka mea, ua haehae mai kela, a e hoola mai ia ia kakou; Ua hahau mai ia, a e hoola mai no oia ia kakou.
2 After two days will He revive us, on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.
Mahope o na la elua e hoola mai ia ia kakou: I ke kolu o ka la e hooku mai ia ia kakou iluna, A e ola kakou imua ona.
3 And let us know, eagerly strive to know the LORD, His going forth is sure as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.'
Alaila e ike kakou, ke hahai kakou e ike ia Iehova; Ua makaukau kona hele ana'ku, e like me ka wanaao: A e hele mai ia ia kakou e like me ka ua; E like me ke kuaua mua, a me ke kuaua hope maluna o ka honua.
4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away.
E Eperaima, heaha ka'u e hana aku ai ia oe? E Iuda, heaha ka'u e hana aku ai ia oe? No ka mea, o ka oukou pono, na like me ke ao kakahiaka, A ua like me ka hau e nalo koke ana.
5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of My mouth; and thy judgment goeth forth as the light.
No ia mea, ua kalai aku au ia lakou ma na kaula; Ua pepehi aku au ia lakou ma na olelo a kuu waha: A e puka aku kou hoohewaia e like me ka malamalama.
6 For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt-offerings.
No ka mea, o ke aloha ko'u makemake, aole ka mohai; A o ka ike i ke Akua mamua o na mohaikuni.
7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant; there have they dealt treacherously against Me.
Aka, e like me kanaka, ua hai ia lakou ka berita: Ilaila ua hana hoopunipuni mai lakou ia'u.
8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, it is covered with footprints of blood.
O Gileada ke kulanakauhale o ka poe hana hewa, i hahiia i na kapuwai koko.
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so doth the company of priests; they murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they commit enormity.
E like me ka poe hao wale e hoohalua ana i ke kanaka; Pela no ka poe kahuna i pepehi wale ma ke ala o Sekema; No ka mea, ke hana nei lakou i ka mea ino.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; there harlotry is found in Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
Maloko o ka ohana a Iseraela ua ike au i ka mea weliweli; Malaila ka moe kolohe o Eperaima, Ua haumia ka Iseraela:
11 Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for thee! When I would turn the captivity of My people,
Nou hoi, e ka Iuda, ua makaukau ka ohi ai ana.
