< Hosea 11 >

1 "When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.
I KO Iseraela wa kamalii, alaila, ua aloha aku au ia ia, A kahea aku au i kuu keiki e hele mai Aigupita mai.
2 As I called them, the farther they went from me. They sacrificed to the Baals, and burned incense to engraved images.
Like me lakou i kahea aku ai ia lakou, pela no lakou i hele ae ai mai o lakou aku; Kaumaha aku la lakou i na Baala, a kuni i ka mea ala i na kii kalaiia.
3 Yet I taught Ephraim to walk. I took them in my arms; but they did not know that I healed them.
Ua ao aku au ia Eperaima i ka hele, e alakai ana ia lakou ma ko lakou lima; Aka, aole lakou i ike, owau ka i hoola ia lakou.
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with ties of love; and I was to them like those who lift up the yoke on their necks; and I bent down to him and I fed him.
Ua alako aku au ia lakou me na kaula o ke kanaka a me na apo o ke aloha: A ua lilo au no lakou i mea like me na mea e lawe aku ana I ka auamo mai luna aku o ko lakou a-i, A ua waiho iho la au i ka ai imua o lakou.
5 "They won't return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian will be their king, because they refused to repent.
Aole ia e hoi hou i ka aina o Aigupita, Aka, o ka Asuria, oia kona alii; No ka mea, ua hoole no ia i ka hoi hou ana,
6 The sword will fall on their cities, and will destroy the bars of their gates, and will put an end to their plans.
A e haule mai ka pahikaua maluna o kona mau kulanakauhale, A e ai iho i kona mau lala, a e hoopau, no ko lakou manao.
7 My people are determined to turn from me. Though they call to the Most High, he certainly won't exalt them.
A ua manao kuu poe kanaka e hoi ihope mai o'u aku la; A ua kahea aku lakou ia lakou la i ka Mea kiekie, Aole kekahi i hookiekie aku ia ia.
8 "How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within me, my compassion is aroused.
Pehea la wau e hookuu aku ai ia oe, e Eperaima? Pehea la wau e hoolilo ai ia oe, e ka Iseraela? Pehea la wau e hana aku ai ia oe e like me Adema? Pehea hoi wau e hooku ai ia oe e like me Zeboima? Ua huliia ko'u naau iloko o'u, Ua hoala pu ia hoi kuu minamina.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of you; and I will not come in wrath.
Aole au e hoopai aku me kuu inaina nui, Aole au e huli ae e luku aku ia Eperaima; No ka mea, owau no ke Akua, aole he kanaka, Maloko ou ka Mea Hemolele; Aole au e hele mai me ka huhu.
10 They will walk after Jehovah, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west.
Mamuli o Iehova lakou e hele ai; E uwo ana no ia e like me ka liona: A i ka wa e uwo ai oia, alaila e haalulu na keiki mai ke komohana mai.
11 They will come trembling like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will settle them in their houses," says Jehovah.
E haalulu lakou me he manu la mai Aigupita mai, Me he manu nunu la mai ka aina o Asuria mai: A e hoonoho au ia lakou maloko o ko lakou mau hale iho, wahi a Iehova.
12 Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit. Judah still strays from God, and is unfaithful to the Holy One.
Ke hoopuni nei o Eperaima ia'u me ka hoopunipuni, A o ka hale o ka Iseraela me ka wahahee: Aka, o ka Iuda, ke hooalii nei oia me ke Akua, A ke kupaa nei oia me ka poe pono.
