Hosea 13
1 Once when Ephraim spake, there was trembling; he was exalted in Israel; But he offended through Baal, and 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 to themselves molten images; Of their silver by their skill have they made idols; All of it is the work of artificers. They say concerning them, Whoever will sacrifice, let him 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 shall they be as the morning cloud, And as the early dew, which passeth away; As chaff driven with a whirlwind from the thrashing-floor, And as smoke from 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, Jehovah, have been thy God from the land of Egypt, And thou hast known no God but me; Yea, there was no saviour besides 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 cared for thee in the desert, In the land of great drought.
Owau ka i ike ia oe ma ka waonahele, Ma ka aina panoa,
6 As they were fed, so they were filled; They were filled, and their heart was lifted up; Therefore they forgot 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 have I become to them as a lion; As a leopard I watch for them in the way;
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 bereaved of her whelps, And I will rend the caul of their heart, And there will I devour them as a lioness; 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 It hath been thy destruction, O Israel, That against me, against thy help, thou hast rebelled!
Nau iho kou make, e ka Iseraela; Aka, iloko o'u kou kokua.
10 Where is now thy king? Let him save thee in all thy cities! And where thy judges, In regard to 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 I have taken 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 treasured up; His guilt is laid up in store.
Ua nakiiia ka hala o ka Eperaima, Ua ahuia kona hewa.
13 The pangs of a travailing woman shall come upon him; He is an unwise son, For else would he not tarry 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, where is thy plague? O grave, where is thy destruction? Repentance is hidden 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, A wind of Jehovah shall come up from the desert, And his spring shall become dry, And his fountain shall be dried up, And the treasure of all his pleasant vessels shall be spoiled.
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 suffer for her guilt, 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.
