Hosea 12
1 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.
Ephraim feeds on wind and follows burning heat; all day long he multiplies lies and desolation. And he has entered into a pact with the Assyrians, and he has carried oil into Egypt.
2 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.
Therefore, the judgment of the Lord is with Judah and a visitation is upon Jacob. He will repay him according to his ways and according to his inventions.
3 Iloko o ka opu hoopaa aku oia i ke kuekuewawae o kona kaikuaana, A ma kona ikaika hakaka pu ia me ke Akua.
In the womb, he supplanted his brother; for in his good fortune, he had been guided by an angel.
4 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;
And he prevailed over an angel, for he had been strengthened. He wept and petitioned him. He found him in Bethel, and there he has spoken to us.
5 Oia hoi, o Iehova ke Akua o na kaua; O Iehova, oia kona inoa ponoi.
And the Lord God of hosts, the Lord is his memorial.
6 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.
And so, you should convert to your God. Keep mercy and judgment, and have hope in your God always.
7 He kalepa no ia, ma kona lima ka mea kaupaona hoopunipuni: A makemake no ia i ka alunu.
Canaan, in his hand is a deceitful balance, he has chosen false accusations.
8 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.
And Ephraim has said, “Nevertheless, I have become rich; I have found an idol for myself. All of my labors will not reveal to me the iniquity that I have committed.”
9 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.
And I, the Lord your God from the land of Egypt, nevertheless will cause you to dwell in tabernacles, just as during the days of the feast.
10 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.
And I have spoken through the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and I have used parables through the hands of the prophets.
11 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.
If Gilead is an idol, then they have been sacrificing cattle in Gilgal to no purpose. For even their altars are like clutter on the soil of the field.
12 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.
Jacob fled into the region of Syria, and Israel served like a wife, and was served by a wife.
13 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.
Yet by a prophet the Lord led Israel out of Egypt, and he was served by a prophet.
14 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.
Ephraim has provoked me to wrath with his bitterness, and his blood will overcome him, and his Lord will requite him for his shamefulness.
