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 child, then I loved him, and 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.
They called to them, so they went from them. They sacrificed to the Baals, and burnt incense to engraved images.
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 I taught Ephraim to walk. I took them by their arms, but they didn’t know that I healed 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 drew them with cords of a man, with ties of love; and I was to them like those who lift up the yoke on their necks; and I bent down to him and I fed him.
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,
“They won’t return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian will be their king, because they refused to repent.
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 will destroy the bars of their gates, and will put an end to their 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 from me. Though they call to the Most High, he certainly won’t exalt 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 Zeboiim? My heart is turned within me, my compassion is aroused.
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 the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim, for I am God, and not man—the Holy One amongst you. 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 walk after the LORD, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the 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 out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will settle them in their houses,” says the LORD.
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. Judah still strays from God, and is unfaithful to the Holy One.
