Hosea 7

1 When I would heal Israel, then is the iniquity of Ephraim discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood: and the thief entereth in, [and] the troop of robbers spoileth without.

‌ʻI he ʻeku tokanga ke fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe toki hā ʻae angahala ʻa ʻIfalemi, pea mo e angakovi ʻa Samēlia: he ʻoku nau fai kākā; pea ʻoku hū ki loto ʻae kaihaʻa, pea ʻoku maumau ʻituʻa ʻe he fakataha ʻoe kau kaihaʻa.

2 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now have their own doings beset them about; they are before my face.

Pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau tokanga ʻi honau loto, ʻoku ou manatu ki heʻenau angakovi kotoa pē: ko eni, ʻoku kāpui ʻakinautolu ʻe heʻenau faianga ʻanautolu; ʻoku ʻi hoku ʻao ia.

3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.

‌ʻOku nau fakafiefiaʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻi heʻenau angakovi, pea mo e houʻeiki ʻi heʻenau ngaahi loi.

4 They are all adulterers; they are as an oven heated by the baker; he ceaseth to stir [the fire], from the kneading of the dough until it be leavened.

Ko e kau feʻauaki ʻakinautolu kotoa pē: ʻo hangē ko e ngotoʻumu kuo fakaʻafu ʻe he tangata taʻo mā, ʻoku ne tuku ia hili ʻene natu ʻae mā, kaeʻoua ke tupu.

5 On the day of our king the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.

‌ʻI he ʻaho ʻo hotau tuʻi kuo fakakona ia ʻe he houʻeiki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi hina uaine; naʻa ne mafao hono nima mo e kau manuki.

6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.

Kuo nau teuteu honau loto hangē ko e ngotoʻumu, ʻi heʻenau kei lama: ʻoku mohe ʻi he pō kotoa ʻenau tangata taʻo mā; ʻi he pongipongi ʻoku vela ia hangē ko e afi ulo.

7 They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.

‌ʻOku nau vela kotoa pē hangē ko e ngotoʻumu; kuo nau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻenau kau fakamaau; kuo hinga honau ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē: ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ui kiate au.

8 Ephraim, he mixeth himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

Kuo fakataha ia mo e kakai ʻa ʻIfalemi; ko e foʻi mā taʻefokihi ʻa ʻIfalemi.

9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth [it] not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth [it] not.

Kuo kai hono mālohi ʻe he kau muli, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo; ʻio, ko e louʻulu hinehina ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻi heni mo ʻena, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ia.

10 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: yet they have not returned unto the LORD their God, nor sought him, for all this.

Pea ko e fielahi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoku fakatōhifo ia ʻi hono ʻao: pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau tafoki kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pe kumi kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.

11 And Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding: they call unto Egypt, they go to Assyria.

“ʻOku hangē foki ʻa ʻIfalemi ko e lupe vale ʻoku ʻikai hano loto: ʻoku nau ui ki ʻIsipite, pea nau ʻalu ki ʻAsilia.

12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven: I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.

‌ʻOka nau ka ʻalu te u fola hoku kupenga kiate kinautolu; te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki lalo ʻo hangē ko e fanga manupuna ʻoe langi: te u tautea ʻakinautolu, ʻo fakatatau mo e fanongo ʻa ʻenau fakataha.

13 Woe unto them! for they have wandered from me; destruction unto them! for they have trespassed against me: though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me.

Malaʻia kiate kinautolu! He kuo nau hola meiate au: fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu! Koeʻuhi kuo nau talangataʻa kiate au: neongo ʻa ʻeku huhuʻi ʻakinautolu, kuo nau lea loi kiate au.

14 And they have not cried unto me with their heart, but they howl upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, they rebel against me.

Pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau tangi kiate au, ʻaki honau loto ʻi heʻenau kaila ʻi honau mohenga: ʻoku nau fakataha ʻakinautolu ki he koane mo e uaine, pea ʻoku nau angatuʻu kiate au.

15 Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.

Neongo ʻeku nonoʻo mo fakamālohi honau nima, ka ʻoku nau filioʻi kovi kiate au.

16 They return, but not to [him that is] on high; they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

‌ʻOku nau tafoki, kae ʻikai ki he Fungani Māʻolunga: ʻoku nau hangē ko e kaufana kākā: ʻe tō ʻi he heletā honau houʻeiki, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻita ʻa honau ʻelelo; ko honau manuki eni ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
