< Hosea 1 >
1 K A OLELO a Iehova ia Hosea, ke keiki a Beeri, i na la o Uria, o Iotama, o Ahaza, a o Hezekia, na'lii o ka Iuda; a i na la o leroboama ke keiki a Ioasa, ke alii o ka Iseraela.
This is the word of Yahweh that came to Hosea son of Beeri in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel.
2 O ka mua o ka olelo a Iehova ma Hosea. Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Hosea, e hele oe, a e lawe i wahine moe kolohe nau, a i na keiki moe kolohe hoi: no ka mea, ua moe kolohe nui ko ka aina, i ka haalele ana ia Iehova.
When Yahweh spoke at first through Hosea, he said to him, “Go, take for yourself a wife who is a prostitute. She will have children who are the result of her prostitution. For the land is committing great prostitution by forsaking Yahweh.”
3 A hele aku la ia, a lawe ia Gomera, ke kaikamahine a Dibelaima; a hapai ae la oia, a hanau mai la he keikikane nana.
So Hosea went and married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
4 A olelo mai la o Iehova ia ia, e kapa aku i kona inoa, o Iezereela; no ka mea, aole liuliu aku, a e hoopai aku au i ke koko o Iezereela maluna o ko ka hale o Iehu; a e hoopau auanei au i ke aupuni o ko ka hale o ka Iseraela.
Yahweh said to Hosea, “Call his name Jezreel. For in a little while I will punish the house of Jehu for the bloodshed at Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
5 A i kela manawa e haki no ia'u ke kikoo o ka Iseraela ma ka papu o Iezereela.
It will happen on the day that I break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”
6 Hapai hou ae la oia, a hanau mai la, he kaikamahine. Olelo mai ke Akua ia ia, e kapa aku i kona inoa, o Loruhama, no ka mea, aole au e aloha hou aku i ko. ka hale o ka Iseraela; aka, e lawe loa aku au ia lakou.
Gomer conceived again and bore a daughter. Then Yahweh said to Hosea, “Call her name Lo-Ruhamah, for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, that I should forgive them at all.
7 Aka, e aloha aku au i ko ka hale o ka Iuda, a e hoola aku au ia lakou ma o Iehova la ko lakou Akua; aole au e hoola ia lakou ma ke kikoo, a me ka pahikaua; aole ma ke kaua, aole hoi ma na lio, a ma na hoohololio.
Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them by myself, Yahweh their God. I will not save them by bow, sword, battle, horses, or horsemen.”
8 A i ka wa i ukuhi aku ai oia ia Loruhama, hapai ae la oia, a hanau mai he keikikane.
Now after Gomer had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and bore another son.
9 I mai la ke Akua, E kapa aku i kona inoa, o Loami; no ka mea, aole oukou he poe kanaka no'u, aole auanei hoi au he Akua no oukou.
Then Yahweh said, “Call his name Lo-Ammi, for you are not my people, and I am not your God.
10 Aka, e like auanei ka lehulehu o na mamo a Iseraela, me ke one o ke kai, aole e hiki ke anaia, aole hoi ke heluia; a ma kahi i oleloia'i lakou, Aole o ko'u poe kanaka oukou, malaila e oleloia'i lakou, He poe keiki oukou na ke Akua ola.
Yet the number of the people of Israel will be like the sand of the seashore, which cannot be measured or counted. It will be that where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' it will be said to them, 'You are people of the living God.'
11 A e hoakoakoaia mai na mamo a Iuda, a me na mamo a Iseraela, ma kahi hookahi, a e hoonoho lakou i hookahi alii no lakou; a e pii ae la lakou mai ka aina mai; no ka mea, nani ka manawa o Iezereela.
The people of Judah and the people of Israel will be gathered together. They will appoint one leader for themselves, and they will go up from the land, for great will be the day of Jezreel.
