Hosea 8
1 [Yahweh said to me], “Blow [MTY] your trumpet [to warn the people]! My people have rejected the agreement that I made with them, and they have rebelled against [obeying] my laws. Therefore, [their enemies] are swooping down on my people’s country like [SIM] an eagle.
E KAU i ka pu ma kou waha, Me he aeto la e hele ku e mai i ka hale o Iehova; No ka mea, ua hai ia lakou kuu berita, A ua ae lakou maluna o ko'u kanawai.
2 My Israeli people cry out to me, ‘Our God, we know that you are our God!’
E kahea mai auanei ka Iseraela ia'u, E kuu Akua, ua ike makou ia oe.
3 But because the Israeli people have rejected what is good, their enemies will pursue them.
Ua haalele ka Iseraela i ka mea maikai: E hahai auanei ka enemi ia ia.
4 The Israel people appointed [their last three] kings, but they did not ask me if I agreed to [what they were doing]. They chose their own leaders without asking if I would approve of them. They used their own silver and gold to make for themselves idols, and doing that led them to be destroyed.
Ua hoalii lakou i na alii, aole ma o'u nei; Ua hoonoho lakou i na haku a'u i ike ole ai; Ua hana lakou i ko lakou kala, a me ko lakou gula i kii no lakou, i mea e okiia'ku ai lakou.
5 You people of Samaria, throw away your [idol that resembles a] calf! I am extremely angry with you people! How long [RHQ] will you [do things that cause] you to be unacceptable to me?
He mea hoopailua kou keikibipi, e Samaria. Ua hoaaia kuu inaina ia lakou: Pehea la ka loihi a loaa ia lakou ka maemae?
6 [Someone in] Israel made that idol for you; [but I am] God and it is not. So that idol of a calf in Samaria must be smashed to pieces.
No ka mea, na ka Iseraela keia mea; Na ka paahana no ia i hana; Aole ia he akua: No ka mea, e haki liilii ia ke keikibipi o Samaria.
7 [The foolish thing that the people of Israel have done is like] [MET] trying to plant wind; but what they harvest will be like [MET] a whirlwind. So the grain that they planted will have no heads [on the stalks], and as a result [there will be no grain] from which to make flour. And if it did produce good grain, foreigners would [come and] steal it.
No ka mea, ua lulu lakou i ka makani, A e ohi auanei lakou i ka puahiohio: Aohe kino o ka ai e ku ana; Aole hoi e hua mai ka opuu i ka hua palaoa: Ina paha e hua mai, na ka poe malihini e hoopau ia mea.
8 [The people of] Israel will be defeated [MET] [by their enemies]; they will be [scattered] among other nations and become worthless.
Ua hoopauia ka Iseraela: A e like auanei lakou iwaena o ko na aina e, me he ipu la I makemake ole ia.
9 Like [MET] donkeys that are looking for mates, they have requested [help] from Assyria; they paid money to [the leaders of Assyria] in order to [persuade those leaders to] protect them.
No ka mea, ua pii ae la lakou i Asuria, me he hoki hihiu, oia wale no! Ua hoolimalima o Eperaima i na mea aloha.
10 But although they have agreed to pay money each year to [the leaders of] those countries, I will soon gather them together [to punish them]. The great King [of Assyria] will cause them to suffer greatly.
Ua hoolimalima hoi lakou iwaena o na lahuikanaka e, ano e hoakoakoa nae au ia lakou; A e anwe iki lakou no ke kaumaha o ke alii o na haku.
11 Although [the people of] Israel built many altars to present offerings [to their idols] to take away [their guilt for] sinning, those altars have become places where they commit [more] sins.
No ka mea, ua hoomahuahua o Eperaima i na kuahu no ka hewa, A e lilo na kuahu nona e hewa ai.
12 I wrote many laws for them, but they disregarded them, saying that [they did not have to obey them because] they were different from laws that they had known previously.
Ua kakau aku au nona i na mea nui o kuu kanawai, Aka, ua manaoia ua mau mea la, me he mea e la.
13 They offer sacrifices to me, and they eat [some of] the meat of those sacrifices, [which is what I permitted them to do]. But I, Yahweh, am not pleased with those sacrifices. I remember the evil things that they have done, and I will punish them for the sins that they have committed: I will force them to [go to other countries] [and become slaves like they were] [MET] in Egypt.
I ke kaumaha ana i kuu mau mohai, ua kaumaha aku lakou i ka io, a ai iho la; Aole i oluolu o Iehova ia lakou; Ano e ho manao oia i ko lakou hala; A e hoopai hoi i ko lakou hewa: A e hoi hou lakou i Aigupita.
14 [The people of] Israel have abandoned/forgotten me, the one who created their [nation]; they have built palaces, and [the people of] Judah have built walls around many towns. But I will send a fire that will destroy all their cities and their fortresses.”
No ka mea, ua hoopoina o ka Iseraela i ka Mea nana ia I hana, a ua hana aku i na hale hoomana; A ua hoomahuahua o ka Iuda i na kulanakauhale i paa i ka papohaku: A e hoouna aku au i ke ahi iloko o kona mau kulanakauhale; A e ai aku ia i kona mau halealii.
