< Hosea 10 >

1 Israel is a luxuriant vine that puts forth his fruit. According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars. As their land has prospered, they have adorned their sacred stones.
Ko e vaine mōmoa ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoku ne fua mai kiate ia pe: ʻo fakatatau ki he lahi ʻo hono fua kuo ne fakalahi ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga; ʻo fakatatau ki he lelei ʻo hono fonua kuo nau ngaohi ʻae ngaahi tamapua masani.
2 Their heart is divided. Now they will be found guilty. He will demolish their altars. He will destroy their sacred stones.
Kuo mavahevahe honau loto; ko eni, ʻe ʻilo kuo nau hala: te ne lī hifo honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea maumauʻi ʻenau ngaahi tamapua.
3 Surely now they will say, "We have no king; for we do not fear YHWH; and the king, what can he do for us?"
He te nau pehē ni, “ʻOku ʻikai hamau tuʻi, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te mau manavahē kia Sihova; pea ko e hā ʻe fai maʻamautolu ʻe ha tuʻi?”
4 They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants. Therefore judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.
Kuo nau lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea, ʻo tuki loi ʻi he fai ʻae fuakava: ko ia kuo tupu ʻae fakamaau ʻo hangē ko e hemiloki ʻi he luoluo ʻoe ngoue.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria will be in terror for the calves of Beth Aven; for its people will mourn over it, Along with its priests who rejoiced over it, for its glory, because it has departed from it.
‌ʻE manavahē ʻae kakai ʻo Samēlia, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi pulu siʻi ʻa Pete-ʻAveni: ʻe tangilāulau ai ʻae kakai ʻo ia, mo e kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻe fiefia ai, koeʻuhi ko hono nāunau, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene mahuʻi mei ai.
6 It also will be carried bound to Assyria as tribute for a great king. Ephraim will receive shame, and Israel will be ashamed of his own counsel.
‌ʻE ʻave ia foki ki ʻAsilia ko e meʻaʻofa ki he tuʻi ko Salepi: ʻe hoko ʻae mā kia ʻIfalemi, pea ʻe mā ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi heʻene fakakaukau ʻaʻana.
7 Samaria and her king float away, like a twig on the water.
Ka ko Samēlia, ʻe tapipi hono tuʻi, ʻo hangē ko e koā mei he fukahi vai.
8 The high places also of Beth Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle will grow on their altars. Then they will say to the mountains, "Fall on us." and to the hills, "Cover us."
‌ʻE ʻauha foki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo ʻAveni, ko e angahala ʻa ʻIsileli: ko e ʻakau talatala mo e tiseli ʻe tupu hake ʻi honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga; pea te nau lea ki he ngaahi moʻunga, ʻo pehē, “ʻUfiʻufi kimautolu;” pea ki he ngaahi tafungofunga, ʻo pehē, “Taʻomia kimautolu.”
9 "Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they remained. The battle against the children of iniquity doesn't overtake them in Gibeah.
“ʻE ʻIsileli, kuo ke angahala talu mei he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Kipea: naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi ai: ko e tau ʻi Kipea ki he fānau ʻae angahia naʻe ʻikai te ne fakamoʻua ʻakinautolu.
10 I am coming to discipline them; and the nations will be gathered against them, when they are disciplined for their two transgressions.
‌ʻOku ʻi heʻeku holi ke tautea ʻakinautolu; pea ʻe fakataha ʻae kakai kiate kinautolu, ʻoka nau ka haʻisia ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻena ongo luo.
11 Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh; so I will put a yoke on her beautiful neck. I will set a rider on Ephraim. Judah will plow. Jacob will break his clods.
Ko ʻIfalemi ko e pulu mui kuo akonekina, ʻoku manako ke malaki [ʻae koane]: ka naʻaku laka ʻi hono kia matamatalelei: te u ngaohi ʻa ʻIfalemi ke heka; ʻe toho huo ʻa Siuta, pea momosi hono kelekele fefeka ʻe Sēkope.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek YHWH, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.
Tūtuuʻi kiate kimoutolu ʻi he angatonu, utu ʻi he ʻaloʻofa, fakamolū ʻae kelekele; ʻoku tuku vaoa he ko e kuonga eni ke kumi kia Sihova, kaeʻoua ke ne hāʻele mai, pea fakaʻuha ʻae māʻoniʻoni kiate kimoutolu.
13 You have plowed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
Kuo mou keli ʻaki ʻae huo toho ʻi he angakovi, kuo mou utu ʻi he angahia; kuo mou kai ʻae fua ʻoe loi: koeʻuhi kuo ke falala ki ho hala, mo hono tokolahi ʻo hoʻo kau tangata mālohi.
14 Therefore a battle roar will arise among your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
Ko ia ʻe tupu ʻae maveuveu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai, pea ʻe maumauʻi ho ngaahi kolo tau, hangē naʻe maumauʻi ʻe Salimani ʻa Peteapeli ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe tau: naʻe lailai ʻae faʻē mo feleteni mo ʻene fānau.
15 So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel will be destroyed.
‌ʻE pehē ʻae fai ʻe Peteli kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou ngaahi angakovi lahi: ʻi ha pongipongi pe ʻe mātuʻaki tuʻusi ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
