< Hosea 1 >

1 [I am] Hosea, the son of Beeri. Yahweh gave me these messages [at various times] during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were the kings of Judah, and Jeroboam the son of Jehoash was the King of Israel.
K A OLELO a Iehova ia Hosea, ke keiki a Beeri, i na la o Uria, o Iotama, o Ahaza, a o Hezekia, na'lii o ka Iuda; a i na la o leroboama ke keiki a Ioasa, ke alii o ka Iseraela.
2 When Yahweh first [began to] give messages to me [to tell to the people of Israel], he said to me, “Go and marry a prostitute. But [some of] her children will be born as a result of her having sex with men to whom she is not married. That will illustrate how the people of Israel have turned away from me and worship (idols/other gods).”
O ka mua o ka olelo a Iehova ma Hosea. Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Hosea, e hele oe, a e lawe i wahine moe kolohe nau, a i na keiki moe kolohe hoi: no ka mea, ua moe kolohe nui ko ka aina, i ka haalele ana ia Iehova.
3 So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
A hele aku la ia, a lawe ia Gomera, ke kaikamahine a Dibelaima; a hapai ae la oia, a hanau mai la he keikikane nana.
4 Yahweh said to me, “Give him the name Jezreel, [which means ‘God scatters’], because I will soon punish the descendants [MTY] of [King] Jehu [by scattering them], because he killed many of my people at Jezreel [town]. [Some day] I will end the kingdom of Israel,
A olelo mai la o Iehova ia ia, e kapa aku i kona inoa, o Iezereela; no ka mea, aole liuliu aku, a e hoopai aku au i ke koko o Iezereela maluna o ko ka hale o Iehu; a e hoopau auanei au i ke aupuni o ko ka hale o ka Iseraela.
5 by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
A i kela manawa e haki no ia'u ke kikoo o ka Iseraela ma ka papu o Iezereela.
6 [Later] Gomer became pregnant [again], and she gave birth to a daughter. Yahweh said to me “Give her the name Lo-ruhamah, [which means ‘not loved],’ because I will no longer [show that I] love the people [MET] of Israel, and I will not forgive them [for the sins that they have committed].
Hapai hou ae la oia, a hanau mai la, he kaikamahine. Olelo mai ke Akua ia ia, e kapa aku i kona inoa, o Loruhama, no ka mea, aole au e aloha hou aku i ko. ka hale o ka Iseraela; aka, e lawe loa aku au ia lakou.
7 But I will [show that I] love the people [MTY] of Judah [by saving them from their enemies]. However, it will not be by weapons and armies or horses and chariots that I will save them. Instead, it will be by [the power that I], Yahweh their God, [have].”
Aka, e aloha aku au i ko ka hale o ka Iuda, a e hoola aku au ia lakou ma o Iehova la ko lakou Akua; aole au e hoola ia lakou ma ke kikoo, a me ka pahikaua; aole ma ke kaua, aole hoi ma na lio, a ma na hoohololio.
8 After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
A i ka wa i ukuhi aku ai oia ia Loruhama, hapai ae la oia, a hanau mai he keikikane.
9 Yahweh said “Give him the name Lo-ammi, [which means 'not my people', ] because the people of Israel are no [longer my people], and I am not their God.
I mai la ke Akua, E kapa aku i kona inoa, o Loami; no ka mea, aole oukou he poe kanaka no'u, aole auanei hoi au he Akua no oukou.
10 But [some day] the people of Israel will be [as numerous] as [SIM] the [grains of] sand on the seashore; no one will be able to count them. Now [I] am saying to them, ‘You are not my people,’ but then people will say to them, ‘[You are the] children of God who is all-powerful.’
Aka, e like auanei ka lehulehu o na mamo a Iseraela, me ke one o ke kai, aole e hiki ke anaia, aole hoi ke heluia; a ma kahi i oleloia'i lakou, Aole o ko'u poe kanaka oukou, malaila e oleloia'i lakou, He poe keiki oukou na ke Akua ola.
11 [At that time], the people of Judah and the people of Israel will unite. They will appoint one leader for all of them, and they will return from the countries [to which they have been (exiled/forced to go)]. That will be a great time; Jezreel [also means ‘God plants’, and it will be as though God will plant them in this country again].”
A e hoakoakoaia mai na mamo a Iuda, a me na mamo a Iseraela, ma kahi hookahi, a e hoonoho lakou i hookahi alii no lakou; a e pii ae la lakou mai ka aina mai; no ka mea, nani ka manawa o Iezereela.
