Hosea 12
1 Ephraim is enjoying wind, And is pursuing an east wind, All the day lying and spoiling he multiplieth, And a covenant with Asshur they make, And oil to Egypt is carried.
KE ai nei ka Eperaima i ka makani, A ke hahai nei hoi ia i ka makani hikina: Hoomahuahua no ia i na la a pau i ka hoopunipuni a me ka luku ana; A hana lakou i ka berita me ko Asuria, A ua laweia'ku ka aila i Aigupita.
2 And a controversy hath Jehovah with Judah, To lay a charge on Jacob according to his ways, According to his doings He returneth to him.
He paio hoi ko Iehova me ka Iuda, A e hoopai aku oia ia Iakoba e like me kona mau aoao; E hoouku aku kela ia ia e like me kana hana.
3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel, And by his strength he was a prince with God,
Iloko o ka opu hoopaa aku oia i ke kuekuewawae o kona kaikuaana, A ma kona ikaika hakaka pu ia me ke Akua.
4 Yea, he is a prince unto the Messenger, And he overcometh [by] weeping, And he maketh supplication to Him, At Bethel He doth find him, And there He doth speak with us,
A hakaka pu ia me ka anela, a lanakila: Uwe iho la ia, a nonoi aku la ia ia: Loaa oia ia ia ma Betela, a olelo pu oia me kakou;
5 Even Jehovah, God of the Hosts, Jehovah [is] His memorial.
Oia hoi, o Iehova ke Akua o na kaua; O Iehova, oia kona inoa ponoi.
6 And thou, through thy God, dost turn, Kindness and judgment keep thou, And wait on thy God continually.
Nolaila, e huli oe i kou Akua: E malama i ke aloha, a me ka olelo hoopono, A e hilinai mau maluna o kou Akua.
7 Canaan! in his hand [are] balances of deceit! To oppress he hath loved.
He kalepa no ia, ma kona lima ka mea kaupaona hoopunipuni: A makemake no ia i ka alunu.
8 And Ephraim saith: 'Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself, All my labours — they find not against me iniquity that [is] sin.'
A i iho la o Eperaima, Ua lako no nae wau, Ua loaa ia'u ka waiwai; Ma ka'u mau hana a pau aole i loaa kuu hewa, ka mea i hewa'i au.
9 And I — Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, Again do I turn thee back into tents, As in the days of the appointed time.
A owau, o Iehova kou Akua, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, E hoonoho hou aku au ia oe i na halelewa, e like me na la o ka ahaaina.
10 And I have spoken unto the prophets, And I have multiplied vision, And by the hand of the prophets I use similes.
A ua olelo aku au ma na kaula, A ua hoomahuahua i na hihio, A ua olelo aku au i na olelo nane ma ka lima o na kaula.
11 Surely Gilead [is] iniquity, Only, vanity they have been, In Gilead bullocks they have sacrificed, Also their altars [are] as heaps, on the furrows of a field.
Ua hewa anei ko Gileada? Oia, ua hewa lakou; Ke kaumaha nei lakou i na bipi ma Gilegala; A o ko lakou mau kuahu, ua like me na ahu ma na auwaha o ka mahinaai.
12 And Jacob doth flee to the country of Aram, And Israel doth serve for a wife, Yea, for a wife he hath kept watch.
A holo aku la o Iakoba i ka aina o Suria; A hooluhi aku la o Iseraela no ka wahine, A no ka wahine malama aku la ia i na holoholona.
13 And by a prophet hath Jehovah brought up Israel out of Egypt, And by a prophet it hath been watched.
A ma ke kaula i lawe mai ai o Iehova i ka Iseraela mai Aigupita mai, A ma ke kaula i malama mai ai oia ia ia.
14 Ephraim hath provoked most bitterly, And his blood on himself he leaveth, And his reproach turn back to him doth his Lord!
Hoonaukiuki loa aku la o Eperaima ia ia; Nolaila e waiho aku ai ia i kona koko maluna ona, A e hoihoi aku kona Haku i kona hoowahawaha maluna ona.
