Hosea 12

1 Ephraim [is] feeding wind and [is] pursuing an east wind all the day falsehood and violence he increases and a covenant with Assyria they are making and oil to Egypt it is carried.

Ko ta Eparaima kai ko te hau, e whaia ana e ia te hau marangai: i nga ra katoa e whakanuia ana e ia te teka me te whakangaro; e whakarite kawenata ana ratou ki te Ahiriana, a e kawea ana he hinu ki Ihipa.

2 And a case at law [belongs] to Yahweh with Judah and to visit [judgment] on Jacob according to ways his according to deeds his he will repay to him.

Na he whakawa ta Ihowa ki a Hura, ka utaina ano e ia ki runga ki a Hakopa nga mea rite ki ona ara; ka rite ki ana mahi tana utu ki a ia.

3 In the womb he took by [the] heel brother his and in manly vigor his he struggled with God.

I roto i te kopu i hopukia e ia tona tuakana ki te rekereke; a i a ia ka tangata i kaha ia ki te Atua;

4 And he struggled against an angel and he prevailed he wept and he sought favor to him Beth-el he found him and there he spoke with us.

Ae ra, i kaha ia ki te anahera, a taea ana e ia: i tangi ia, i inoi ki a ia: i tutaki ia ki a ia ki Peteere, a korero ana ia ki a tatou i reira;

5 And Yahweh [the] God of hosts Yahweh [is] memorial his.

Ara a Ihowa, te Atua o nga mano; ko Ihowa tona maharatanga.

6 And you in God your you will return loyalty and justice keep and wait to God your continually.

Na reira tahuri koe ki tou Atua: puritia te mahi tohu me te tika, tatari tonu ki tou Atua.

7 Canaan [who are] in hand his scales of deceit to defraud he loves.

He kaihokohoko ia, kei tona ringa nga pauna tinihanga: e aroha ana ia ki te tukino.

8 And he has said Ephraim surely I have become rich I have found wealth for myself all toil my not people will find to me iniquity which [is] sin.

I mea ano a Eparaima, He pono kua whai taonga ahau, kua kitea e ahau he rawa moku: i aku mahi katoa e kore e kitea e ratou he kino, ara he hara ki ahau.

9 And I [have been] Yahweh God your from [the] land of Egypt again I will cause to dwell you in tents like [the] days of an appointed feast.

Na ko Ihowa ahau, ko tou Atua, no te whenua o Ihipa mai ra ano; tenei ake ka meinga ano koe e ahau kia noho teneti; kia pera me to nga ra o te hakari nui.

10 And I spoke to the prophets and I vision[s] I multiplied and by [the] hand of the prophets I gave parables.

Kua korero ano ahau ki nga poropiti, a kua whakamahangia e ahau nga whakakitenga; na te mahi minita a nga poropiti i korero ai ahau i nga kupu whakarite.

11 [is] Gilead Wickedness surely worthlessness they are in Gilgal bulls they have sacrificed also altars their [are] like heaps of stones on [the] furrows of a field.

Ko te hara ranei a Kireara? ina, he mea teka kau ratou; e patu kau ana ratou ki Kirikara hei whakahere: ae ra, he rite a ratou aata ki nga puranga i nga moa o nga mara.

12 And he fled Jacob [the] region of Aram and he served Israel for a wife and for a wife he kept [flocks].

I rere ano a Hakopa ki te mara a Arame, a mahi ana a Iharaira hei utu wahine; hei utu wahine i tiaki hipi ai ia.

13 And by a prophet he brought up Yahweh Israel from Egypt and by a prophet he was kept.

I kawea mai ano e Ihowa, ara e te poropiti, a Iharaira i Ihipa, na te poropiti ano ia i ora ai.

14 He has provoked to anger Ephraim bitterness and blood his on him he will leave and reproach his he will repay to him lord his.

I whakapataritari a Eparaima ki a ia, kawa rawa: mo reira ka waiho e ia tona toto i runga i a ia, ka meinga ano tona ingoa kino e tona ariki kia hoki atu ki a ia.
