Hosea 12

1 “Ephraim is enjoying wind, And is pursuing an east wind, All the day he multiplies lying and spoiling, And they make a covenant with Asshur, And oil is carried to Egypt.

KE ai nei ka Eperaima i ka makani, A ke hahai nei hoi ia i ka makani hikina: Hoomahuahua no ia i na la a pau i ka hoopunipuni a me ka luku ana; A hana lakou i ka berita me ko Asuria, A ua laweia'ku ka aila i Aigupita.

2 And YHWH has a controversy with Judah, To lay a charge on Jacob according to his ways, He returns to him according to his doings.

He paio hoi ko Iehova me ka Iuda, A e hoopai aku oia ia Iakoba e like me kona mau aoao; E hoouku aku kela ia ia e like me kana hana.

3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel, And by his strength he was a prince with God,

Iloko o ka opu hoopaa aku oia i ke kuekuewawae o kona kaikuaana, A ma kona ikaika hakaka pu ia me ke Akua.

4 Indeed, he is a prince to the Messenger, And he overcomes [by] weeping, And he makes supplication to Him, At Bethel He finds him, And there He speaks with us,

A hakaka pu ia me ka anela, a lanakila: Uwe iho la ia, a nonoi aku la ia ia: Loaa oia ia ia ma Betela, a olelo pu oia me kakou;

5 Even YHWH, God of the Hosts, YHWH [is] His memorial.

Oia hoi, o Iehova ke Akua o na kaua; O Iehova, oia kona inoa ponoi.

6 And you, through your God, turn, Keep kindness and judgment, And wait on your God continually.

Nolaila, e huli oe i kou Akua: E malama i ke aloha, a me ka olelo hoopono, A e hilinai mau maluna o kou Akua.

7 Canaan! In his hand [are] balances of deceit! He has loved to oppress.

He kalepa no ia, ma kona lima ka mea kaupaona hoopunipuni: A makemake no ia i ka alunu.

8 And Ephraim says, Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself, All my labors—they do not find against me iniquity that [is] sin.

A i iho la o Eperaima, Ua lako no nae wau, Ua loaa ia'u ka waiwai; Ma ka'u mau hana a pau aole i loaa kuu hewa, ka mea i hewa'i au.

9 And I—your God YHWH from the land of Egypt, Again I turn you back into tents, As in the days of the appointed time.

A owau, o Iehova kou Akua, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, E hoonoho hou aku au ia oe i na halelewa, e like me na la o ka ahaaina.

10 And I have spoken to the prophets, And I have multiplied vision, And by the hand of the prophets I use allegories.

A ua olelo aku au ma na kaula, A ua hoomahuahua i na hihio, A ua olelo aku au i na olelo nane ma ka lima o na kaula.

11 Surely Gilead [is] iniquity, They have been only vanity, In Gilead they have sacrificed bullocks, Also their altars [are] as heaps, on the furrows of a field.

Ua hewa anei ko Gileada? Oia, ua hewa lakou; Ke kaumaha nei lakou i na bipi ma Gilegala; A o ko lakou mau kuahu, ua like me na ahu ma na auwaha o ka mahinaai.

12 And Jacob flees to the country of Aram, And Israel serves for a wife, Indeed, he has kept watch for a wife.

A holo aku la o Iakoba i ka aina o Suria; A hooluhi aku la o Iseraela no ka wahine, A no ka wahine malama aku la ia i na holoholona.

13 And by a prophet has YHWH brought up Israel out of Egypt, And by a prophet it has been watched.

A ma ke kaula i lawe mai ai o Iehova i ka Iseraela mai Aigupita mai, A ma ke kaula i malama mai ai oia ia ia.

14 Ephraim has most bitterly provoked, And he leaves his blood on himself, And his Lord turns his reproach back to him!”

Hoonaukiuki loa aku la o Eperaima ia ia; Nolaila e waiho aku ai ia i kona koko maluna ona, A e hoihoi aku kona Haku i kona hoowahawaha maluna ona.
