Hosea 13
1 [Previously], when [the leaders of] Israel spoke, the people trembled; those leaders were highly respected by the Israeli people. But the people sinned greatly by [worshiping] Baal, so now they will be killed [by their enemies].
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 Now they sin more and more; they make idols for themselves [and coat the idols] with their silver. Those idols are statues that are very cleverly made, but those statues are made by [mere] humans. But [the people are told], “Kiss those idols [that resemble a] calf, and offer sacrifices to them!”
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, those people will [disappear quickly] like [SIM] the morning mist or the dew that lies [on the ground] early [in the morning]; [they will disappear] like [SIM] chaff that is blown away from where [the wheat] is threshed, like [SIM] smoke that goes out of a 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 But [Yahweh says to his people], “I am Yahweh, your God, [the one who brought your ancestors] out of Egypt. You must believe that only I am God and that there is no other God, and that there is no one else who can save you!
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 took care of your [ancestors when they were] in the desert, where it was extremely [hot and] dry.
Owau ka i ike ia oe ma ka waonahele, Ma ka aina panoa,
6 When I provided food for them, their [stomachs] were full, and they were satisfied. But then they became proud and they forgot [about] me, [and you are like your ancestors]!
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 So I will attack you like [SIM] a lion [attacks other animals]; I will be like [SIM] a leopard that waits beside the road [to attack another animal].
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 Like [SIM] a female bear attacks anyone that steals her cubs, I will attack you Israelis and rip you open. I will completely destroy you like [SIM] lions or [other] wild animals tear apart the animals that they catch and devour 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 [You people of] Israel, you will be destroyed because you oppose me, the only one who (can help/helps) you.
Nau iho kou make, e ka Iseraela; Aka, iloko o'u kou kokua.
10 You have a king; (why is he [unable to save you]?/but he is [unable to save you].) [RHQ] You have [RHQ] rulers in all your towns, but they are not helping you, [either]. Your [ancestors] said, ‘Appoint for us a king and [other] leaders [to rule over us] [like the other nations have]!’
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 was angry with them [for requesting that], but I appointed a king [to rule over] them. But [later] I became very angry with them [again], so I took their king away.
Haawi aku au i alii nou, no kuu inaina, A lawe aku au ia ia ma kuu huhu.
12 [I have written on a scroll] a record of the sins that have been committed by you people of Israel, and I have stored away that record.
Ua nakiiia ka hala o ka Eperaima, Ua ahuia kona hewa.
13 You people are not wise; and now [you are helpless]. You are like [MET] a woman who is having birth pains but who is unable to give birth to the baby.
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 certainly will not [RHQ] save you from being killed and from going to the place where the dead people are. I will [RHQ] cause you to be afflicted by plagues and to die and be buried in graves. I will not be merciful [to you]. (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 Even if you people of Israel prosper more than the nearby nations do, [the army of Assyria] will come [like] [MET] an east wind that blows from the desert; the springs and wells in Israel will become dry; and [your enemies] will take away all your valuable possessions.
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 [You people of] Samaria must be punished because you have rebelled against [me], your God. You will be killed by [your enemies’] swords; your little children will be [killed by being] dashed/thrown to the ground; the [bellies of] women [among you] will be ripped open.”
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.
