Hosea 2
1 [At that time, ] you will say to your fellow-Israeli men, “[You are] God’s people,” and [you will say] to your fellow-Israeli women, “You are ones whom God loves.”
O Ami, a i ko oukou mau hoahanau wahine, O Ruhama.
2 [Yahweh also said to me], “I want you to accuse the Israeli people. [It is as though] [MET] this nation is your mother, but this nation is [no longer as though it is] [MET] my wife, and it is [no longer as though] [MET] I am its husband. Tell the Israeli people that they must stop [acting like] a prostitute [by worshiping other gods]; they must stop showing by their behavior that they (are unfaithful to/have abandoned) [me] [MET].
E hakaka oukou me ko oukou makuwahine, e hakaka oukou; No ka mea, aole oia o ka'u wahine; Aole hoi wau o kana kane: I haalele ai oia i kona hookamakama ana mai kona maka aku, A me kona moe kolohe hoi mai waena aku o kona mau u:
3 If they do not do that, I will not give them [food and] clothes [as a husband should give to his wife]; I will take away those things, and I will cause their nation to become [as deserted] as it was on the day that I [brought their ancestors out of Egypt and caused them to become a nation] [MET]. I will cause their country to be like [SIM] a desert; there will be no rain to water the ground [MET].
O wehe aku au ia ia a olohelohe, A e hooku ia ia e like me ia i ka la ana i hanau ai, A e hoolilo ia ia e like me ka waoakua, A e hooku hoi ia ia e like me ka aina maloo, A e pepehi ia ia i ka makewai.
4 I will not pity the people, because they have [abandoned me] as [MET] prostitutes abandon their husbands.
Aole au e aloha aku i kana poe keiki, No ka mea, he poe keiki lakou na ka moe kolohe.
5 Their parents are like prostitutes [MET]: they have been unfaithful [to me], and they have done [very] disgraceful things. They said, ‘We will run to [our idols/gods] who love us; [they are the ones] who give us food and water and wool and linen and [olive] oil, and [wine to] drink.’
No ka mea, ua moe kolohe ko lakou makuwahine, Ua hana hilahila ka mea nana lakou i hapai: No ka mea, i iho la ia, E hele aku au mamuli o kuu mau ipo, Ka poe i haawi mai i ka'u ai, a me ko'u wai, i ko'u hulu hipa, a me kuu olona, o ko'u aila, a me ko'u mea inu.
6 So [it will be as though] [MET] I am blocking their road with thornbushes, and putting put a wall around them so that they do not know which way to go.
No ia mea, aia hoi, e hoopuni au i kou ala i na laau kuku, A e hana au i papohaku nona, I mea e loaa ole ai ia ia kona mau alanui.
7 They will run to their idols/gods that [they think] love them, but they will not find them. They will search for their false gods, but they will not find them. Then they will say, ‘[Perhaps] we should return to [Yahweh], whom we worshiped previously [MET], because things were better for us then than they are now.’
A hahai aku no ia i kona mau hoaaloha, aole e loaa lakou ia ia; A imi aku hoi ia ia lakou, aole e loaa; Alaila, e i iho ia, E hele au, a e hoi hou i kuu kane mamua; No ka mea, ua oi aku ko'u pono i kela wa mamua o keia.
8 But they do not realize that I, [Yahweh], am the one who gave them grain and wine and [olive] oil; I am the one who gave them silver and gold which they used to worship Baal.
Aole oia i noonoo, ua haawi aku au ia ia i ka mea ai, a me ka waina hou. a me ka aila, A hoomahuahua aku hoi i ke kala, a me ke gula nona, Na mea a lakou i hoomakaukau ai no Baala.
9 Therefore I will return and take my grain and grapes from them when they are ripe. I will take from them the wool and linen that I gave to them [to make their clothes] [MTY].
No ia mea, e hoi hou mai au, a e lawe aku i ka'u palaoa i kona manawa, A me ka'u wain a hou i kona manawa iho, E lawe aku hoi au i ko'u hulu hipa, a me ko'u olona, na mea i uhi ai i kona olohelohe.
10 I will show those false gods/idols that what my people are doing is disgusting [MET], and no one will be able to hinder me from [punishing them].
Ano e hoike aku au i kona mea hilahila imua o na maka o kona mau hoaaloha, Aohe mea e hoopakele ia ia mai ko'u lima aku.
11 I will cause their religious celebrations to cease, the festivals that they celebrate every year and at every new moon and on their (Sabbath days/weekly days of rest). I will cause all their religious celebrations to cease.
A e hoopau aku au i kona lealea a pau, I kana mau ahaaina, i kona mau mahina hou, i kona mau la Sabati. a me kona mau ahaaina a pau.
12 I will destroy [all] their grapevines and fig trees, which they said were what their [idols/gods] who loved them paid them for worshiping those idols. I will cause those places to become a desert, and wild animals will eat the fruit [that remains].
A e luku aku au i kona mau kumuwaina, a me kona mau laau fiku, i na mea ana i i mai ai, Oia ka'u uku, o ko'u mau ipo i haawi mai ai ia'u; A e hoolilo au ia mau mea i ululaau, A e ai iho na holoholona ia mau mea.
13 I will punish my people for [all] the times that they burned incense to [honor] the idols of Baal. They decorated themselves with rings and jewelry, and they went to worship those [false gods/idols] that [they thought] [IRO] loved them, but they abandoned/forgot me! [That is what I], Yahweh, say.
A e hoopai aku au maluna ona i na la o na Baala, I na la ana i kuni ai i ka mea ala no lakou; A i kahiko ai ia ia iho i kona mau apo-ihu, a me kona mau lei-a-i, A hahai no ia mamuli o kona mau ipo, A hoopoina ia ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
14 But listen! [Some day] I will persuade my people [to worship me again]; I will lead them [out] into the desert and speak kindly to them [there].
Nolaila, aia hoi, e hoowalewale au ia ia, a e alakai aku ia ia i ka waonahele, A e olelo oluolu aku ia ia.
15 I will give their vineyards [back] to them, and I will cause Achor Valley, [which means ‘valley of trouble'], to become a valley where they will confidently expect [me to do good things for them]. They will (respond to/want to please) me there like they did long ago, when I freed them from [being slaves in] Egypt.
A e haawi aku au nona i kona mau malawaina mailaila mai, A i ke awawa o Akora, i puka o ka manaolana; A e mele no ia malaila, e like me ia i kona wa opio, A e like me ia i ka wa ana i puka mai ai mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
16 At that time, they will say to me, ‘[It is as though] [MET] you are our husband.’ They will not say that I am their [master, like they considered that] Baal [was].
A i kela manawa, wahi a Iehova, e kapa mai oe ia'u o Isi; Aole e kapa hou ia'u, o Baali.
17 I will not allow them to speak [MTY] the names of Baal; they will never use those names again.
A e lawe ae au i ka inoa o na Baala mai kona waha aku, Aole e hoomanao hou ia lakou ma ko lakou inoa.
18 At that time [it will be as though] I will make an agreement with [all] the wild animals and birds, and [even with] the little animals that scurry across the ground, so that they will never harm my people [again]. And I will remove from their nation all the weapons [for fighting] battles, [like] swords and bows [and arrows]. The result will be that my people will live peacefully and safely, and will not be afraid.
A i kela manawa e hana aku au no lakou i berita Me na holoholona o ke kula, a me na manu o ka lewa, A me na mea kolo o ka honua: A e haki ia'u ke kakaka, a me ka pahikaua, a me ka mea kaua mai ka honua aku, A e hoomoe iho au ia lakou me ka maluhia.
19 I will cause them to be [as though they are] [MET] my bride forever. I will be righteous and fair/just; I will faithfully love them and be kind to them.
E hoopalau aku au ia oe na'u a mau loa aku; A e hoopalau aku au ia oe na'u ma ka pono, a ma ka hoopono, a ma ka lokomaikai, a ma ke aloha.
20 I will not abandon them, and they will realize [that I] Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do.]
A e hoopalau aku no hoi au ia oe na'u ma ka oiaio: A e ike aku oe ia Iehova.
21 At that time, [when they request me to do things for them], [I will do those things]. When they request clouds and rain to fall on their land, I will speak to the clouds, and rain will fall on the earth,
A i kela manawa, e hoolohe no au, wahi a Iehova, E hoolohe no au i na lani, a e hoolohe lakou i ka honua;
22 and grain will grow, and the vineyards and the olive trees will grow in Jezreel [Valley].
A e hoolohe ka honua i ka ai, a me ka waina, a me ka aila; A e hoolohe no lakou ia Iezereela.
23 [At that time], I will take care of the Israeli people [like a farmer plants and takes care of his crops] [MET]. I will love those people that I previously said were ones I did not love, and I previously said, ‘You are not my people,’ and [then] they will say to me, ‘You are our God.’”
A e kanu iho au ia ia ma ka honua; A e aloha aku au i ka mea i aloha ole ia; A e olelo aku au i ka poe kanaka aole no'u, O oe ko'u poe kanaka; A e olelo mai hoi lakou, O oe ko makou Akua.
