Hosea 11
1 I KO Iseraela wa kamalii, alaila, ua aloha aku au ia ia, A kahea aku au i kuu keiki e hele mai Aigupita mai.
“When Israel was a young man I loved him, and I called my son out of Egypt.
2 Like me lakou i kahea aku ai ia lakou, pela no lakou i hele ae ai mai o lakou aku; Kaumaha aku la lakou i na Baala, a kuni i ka mea ala i na kii kalaiia.
The more they were called, the more they went away from me. They sacrificed to the Baals and burned incense to idols.
3 Ua ao aku au ia Eperaima i ka hele, e alakai ana ia lakou ma ko lakou lima; Aka, aole lakou i ike, owau ka i hoola ia lakou.
Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk. It was I who lifted them up by their arms, but they did not know that I cared for them.
4 Ua alako aku au ia lakou me na kaula o ke kanaka a me na apo o ke aloha: A ua lilo au no lakou i mea like me na mea e lawe aku ana I ka auamo mai luna aku o ko lakou a-i, A ua waiho iho la au i ka ai imua o lakou.
I led them with cords of humanity, with bands of love. I was to them like someone who eased the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them.
5 Aole ia e hoi hou i ka aina o Aigupita, Aka, o ka Asuria, oia kona alii; No ka mea, ua hoole no ia i ka hoi hou ana,
Will they not return to the land of Egypt? Will Assyria not rule over them because they refuse to return to me?
6 A e haule mai ka pahikaua maluna o kona mau kulanakauhale, A e ai iho i kona mau lala, a e hoopau, no ko lakou manao.
The sword will fall on their cities and destroy the bars of their gates; it will destroy them because of their own plans.
7 A ua manao kuu poe kanaka e hoi ihope mai o'u aku la; A ua kahea aku lakou ia lakou la i ka Mea kiekie, Aole kekahi i hookiekie aku ia ia.
My people are determined to turn away from me. Though they call to the Most High, no one will help them.
8 Pehea la wau e hookuu aku ai ia oe, e Eperaima? Pehea la wau e hoolilo ai ia oe, e ka Iseraela? Pehea la wau e hana aku ai ia oe e like me Adema? Pehea hoi wau e hooku ai ia oe e like me Zeboima? Ua huliia ko'u naau iloko o'u, Ua hoala pu ia hoi kuu minamina.
How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboyim? My heart has changed within me; all my compassions have been stirred up.
9 Aole au e hoopai aku me kuu inaina nui, Aole au e huli ae e luku aku ia Eperaima; No ka mea, owau no ke Akua, aole he kanaka, Maloko ou ka Mea Hemolele; Aole au e hele mai me ka huhu.
I will not execute my fierce anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim. For I am God and not a man; I am the Holy One among you, and I will not come in wrath.
10 Mamuli o Iehova lakou e hele ai; E uwo ana no ia e like me ka liona: A i ka wa e uwo ai oia, alaila e haalulu na keiki mai ke komohana mai.
They will follow Yahweh; and he will roar like a lion. When he roars, his children will come trembling from the west.
11 E haalulu lakou me he manu la mai Aigupita mai, Me he manu nunu la mai ka aina o Asuria mai: A e hoonoho au ia lakou maloko o ko lakou mau hale iho, wahi a Iehova.
They will come trembling like a bird from Egypt, like a dove from the land of Assyria. I will make them live in their homes—this is the declaration of Yahweh.
12 Ke hoopuni nei o Eperaima ia'u me ka hoopunipuni, A o ka hale o ka Iseraela me ka wahahee: Aka, o ka Iuda, ke hooalii nei oia me ke Akua, A ke kupaa nei oia me ka poe pono.
Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit. But Judah is still going about with me, God, and is faithful to me, the Holy One.”
