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 is fed with the winde, and followeth after the East winde: hee increaseth daily lies and destruction, and they do make a couenant with Asshur, and oyle is caried 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.
The Lord hath also a controuersie with Iudah, and will visite Iaakob, according to his waies: according to his workes, wil he recompence him.
3 Iloko o ka opu hoopaa aku oia i ke kuekuewawae o kona kaikuaana, A ma kona ikaika hakaka pu ia me ke Akua.
Hee tooke his brother by the heele in the wombe, and by his strength he had power with God,
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 had power ouer the Angel, and preuailed: he wept and praied vnto him: he founde him in Beth-el, and there he spake with vs.
5 Oia hoi, o Iehova ke Akua o na kaua; O Iehova, oia kona inoa ponoi.
Yea, the Lord God of hostes, the Lord is himselfe his memoriall.
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.
Therefore turne thou to thy God: keepe mercy and iudgement, and hope still in thy God.
7 He kalepa no ia, ma kona lima ka mea kaupaona hoopunipuni: A makemake no ia i ka alunu.
He is Canaan: the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loueth to oppresse.
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 saide, Notwithstanding I am rich, I haue found me out riches in all my labours: they shall finde none iniquitie in me, that were wickednesse.
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.
Though I am the Lord thy God, from the land of Egypt, yet will I make thee to dwel in the tabernacles, as in the daies of the solemne 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.
I haue also spoken by the Prophets, and I haue multiplied visions, and vsed similitudes by the ministerie 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.
Is there iniquitie in Gilead? surely they are vanitie: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal, and their altars are as heapes in the furrowes 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.
And Iaakob fled into the countrey of Aram, and Israel serued for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheepe.
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.
And by a Prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a Prophet was he reserued.
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.
But Ephraim prouoked him with hie places: therefore shall his blood be powred vpon him, and his reproche shall his Lord reward him.
