Hosea 9

1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as [other] people: for thou hast apostatized from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every corn-floor.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke nekeneka, ʻe ʻIsileli, ʻi he fiefia, hangē ko e kakai kehe: he kuo ke ʻalu ʻo feʻauaki mei ho ʻOtua, kuo ke manako ʻae totongi ʻi he hahaʻanga koane kotoa pē.

2 The floor and the wine-press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.

Ko e hahaʻanga, mo e tataʻoʻanga uaine ʻe ʻikai fafanga ai ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻae uaine foʻou.

3 They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean [things] in Assyria.

‌ʻE ʻikai te nau nofo ʻi he fonua ʻo Sihova; ka ʻe tafoki ʻa ʻIfalemi ki ʻIsipite, pea te nau kai ʻae meʻa taʻemaʻa ʻi ʻAsilia.

4 They shall not offer wine -[offerings] to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing to him: their sacrifices [shall be] to them as the bread of mourners; all that eat of it shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.

‌ʻE ʻikai te nau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae uaine kia Sihova, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fiemālie ai: ko ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau ʻe hangē ko e mā ʻae kau tangilāulau kiate kinautolu; ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kai ai te nau ʻuli ai: he ko e mā maʻa honau laumālie, ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ki he fale ʻo Sihova.

5 What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?

Ko e hā te mou fai ʻi he ʻaho mamafa, pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe kātoanga ʻa Sihova?

6 For lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant [places] for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns [shall be] in their tabernacles.

He, vakai, kuo nau ʻalu koeʻuhi ko e fakaʻauha: ʻe tānaki ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻIsipite, ʻe tanu ʻakinautolu ʻe Memifisi: ko e ngaahi potu lelei ki heʻenau siliva, ʻe maʻu ia ʻe he hongohongo: ʻe ʻi honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻae ʻakau talatala.

7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know [it]: the prophet [is] a fool, the spiritual man [is] mad, for the multitude of thy iniquity, and the great hatred.

Ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ʻaʻahi kuo hoko, ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe totongi kuo hoko; ʻe ʻilo ia ʻe ʻIsileli, ‘Ko e palōfita ko e vale ia,’ ʻoku faha ʻae tangata fakalaumālie, ko e meʻa ʻi he lahi ʻo hoʻo hia, mo e fehiʻa lahi.

8 The watchman of Ephraim [was] with my God: [but] the prophet [is] a snare of a fowler in all his ways, [and] hatred in the house of his God.

Ko e tangata leʻo ʻo ʻIfalemi naʻe ʻi hoku ʻOtua: ka ko e palōfita ko e tauhele ʻae tangata tauhele manu ʻi hono hala kotoa pē, mo e fehiʻanekina ʻi he fale ʻo hono ʻOtua.

9 They have deeply corrupted [themselves], as in the days of Gibeah: [therefore] he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

Kuo nau fakaʻuliʻi lahi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Kipea: ko ia te ne manatu ʻenau hia, te ne ʻaʻahi ki heʻenau angahala.

10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig-tree at her first time: [but] they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves to [that] shame; and [their] abominations were according as they loved.

Ne u ʻilo ʻa ʻIsileli hangē ko e kālepi ʻi he toafa; ne u mamata ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai, hangē ko e tomuʻa momoho ʻi he ʻakau ko e fiki ʻi hono ʻuluaki toʻukai: ka ne nau ʻalu ki Peali-Peoli, pea mavahe ʻakinautolu ke nau mā; pea ko ʻenau ngaahi fakalielia naʻe tatau mo ʻenau manako.

11 [As for] Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

Ka ko ʻIfalemi, ʻe puna atu hono nāunau hangē ko e manupuna, mei he fāʻele, mo e manāva, pea mei he tuituʻia.

12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that there shall] not [be] a man [left]: yes, woe also to them when I depart from them!

Neongo ʻoku nau tauhi ʻenau fānau, ka te u fakamasiva ʻakinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa toe ha tangata: ʻio, malaʻia foki kiate kinautolu ʻo kau ka mahuʻi meiate kinautolu!

13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyre, [is] planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.

‌ʻOku tō ʻa ʻIfalemi ʻi he potu lelei, hangē naʻaku mamata ki Taia; ka ʻe fanauʻi ʻe ʻIfalemi ʻa ʻene fānau ki he fakapō.

14 Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

Foaki kiate kinautolu, ʻe Sihova: ko e hā te ke foaki? Foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae manāva tōtama mo e huhu maha.

15 All their wickedness [is] in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes [are] revolters.

“Ko ʻenau angakovi kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi Kilikali: he naʻe ʻi ai ʻeku fehiʻa kiate kinautolu: koeʻuhi ko e kovi ʻo ʻenau faianga, te u kapusi ʻakinautolu mei hoku fale, ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻofa kiate kinautolu: ko e kau angatuʻu ʻa honau houʻeiki kotoa pē.

16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yes, though they bring forth, yet will I slay [even] the beloved [fruit] of their womb.

Kuo taaʻi ʻa ʻIfalemi, kuo mōmoa honau aka, ʻe ʻikai te nau fua: ʻio, neongo ʻoku nau fānau, ka te u tāmateʻi ʻae ʻofeina ʻa honau manāva.”

17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

Ko hoku ʻOtua te ne liʻaki ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo kiate ia: pea te nau hoko ko e kau ʻāuhē ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga.
