< Hosea 13 >

1 When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
I KA wa i olelo ai o Eperaima, he haalulu, Ua hookiekieia oia iloko o ka Iseraela; Aka, i kana hana hewa ana ma Baala, make iho la ia.
2 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, [and] idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
Ano, hoomahuahua lakou i ka hewa, A hana lakou no lakou i kii hooheheeia no ko lakou kala, I kii ma ko lakou manao, o na hana a na paahana wale no; Ke olelo nei ka poe e kaumaha ana, E honi lakou i na keiki bipi.
3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff [that] is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
No ia mea, e like auanei lakou me ke ao kakahiaka, A me ka hau hou e nalo koke ana, E like me ka opala i puehuia i ka puahiohio mai kahi hehipalaoa aku, A me ka uahi mai ka puka-uahi aku.
4 Yet I [am] the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for [there is] no saviour beside me.
Aka, owau o Iehova ke Akua ou, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, Mai ike oe i akua e ae, ia'u wale no; No ka mea, aohe Hoola, owau walo no.
5 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
Owau ka i ike ia oe ma ka waonahele, Ma ka aina panoa,
6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
E like me ka lakou mea ai, pela i maona ai lakou; Ua maona lakou. a hookiekieia ko lakou naau; No ia mea, ua hoopoina lakou ia'u.
7 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe [them: ]
Nolaila, e like auanei au ia lakou me he liona la; Me he leopadi la ma ke ala, e hoohalua ai au ia lakou.
8 I will meet them as a bear [that is] bereaved [of her whelps], and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
E halawai au me lakou me he bea la i hooneleia, A e haehae au i ka wahi o ko lakou naau, A e hoopau aku au ia lakou malaila e like me ka liona: A e haehae ka holoholona o ka waonahele ia lakou.
9 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me [is] thine help.
Nau iho kou make, e ka Iseraela; Aka, iloko o'u kou kokua.
10 I will be thy king: where [is any other] that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?
Auhea hoi kou alii, nana e hoola mai ia oe ma kou mau kulanakauhale a pau? Auhea hoi kou mau lunakanawai, na mea au i olelo ai, E haawi mai i alii no'u, a me na luna?
11 I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took [him] away in my wrath.
Haawi aku au i alii nou, no kuu inaina, A lawe aku au ia ia ma kuu huhu.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim [is] bound up; his sin [is] hid.
Ua nakiiia ka hala o ka Eperaima, Ua ahuia kona hewa.
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he [is] an unwise son; for he should not stay long in [the place of] the breaking forth of children.
O na ehaeha o ka wahine hanau, e hiki mai ia maluna ona: He keiki naaupo ia; No ka mea, aohe ona pono e ku loihi ma kahi e hanau ai na keiki.
14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
E hoola aku au ia lakou mai ka mana o ka po; E hoola panai au ia lakou mai ka make mai; Owau no kou luku, e ka make; Owau no kou pepehi, e ka po; Ua hunaia ka mihi, mai ko'u maka aku. (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he be fruitful among [his] brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
Ina ua mahuahua oia mawaena o kona mau hoahanau, E hele mai auanei ka makani hikina, Ka makani o Iehova e hiki mai, mai ka waonahele mai: A e hoomalooia kona punawai, A e maloo kona waipuna; A e hoopau aku ia i ka waiwai o na ipu a pau i makemakeia.
16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
E hoopaiia auanei ko Samaria; No ka mea, ua kipi aku ia i kona Akua; E haule auanei lakou ma ka pahikaua; E ulupaia ka lakou mau keiki liilii, A o ka lakou poe wahine hapai e kahaia'ku.
