Hosea 13
1 I KA wa i olelo ai o Eperaima, he haalulu, Ua hookiekieia oia iloko o ka Iseraela; Aka, i kana hana hewa ana ma Baala, make iho la ia.
When once Ephraim spoke, [all] trembled, so high was he exalted in Israel; but he offended through Ba'al, and he died.
2 Ano, hoomahuahua lakou i ka hewa, A hana lakou no lakou i kii hooheheeia no ko lakou kala, I kii ma ko lakou manao, o na hana a na paahana wale no; Ke olelo nei ka poe e kaumaha ana, E honi lakou i na keiki bipi.
And now they yet continue to sin, and have made themselves molten images of their silver, idols according to their own imagining, every one of them the work of the artisan: they say to them, They that sacrifice men may kiss the calves.
3 No ia mea, e like auanei lakou me ke ao kakahiaka, A me ka hau hou e nalo koke ana, E like me ka opala i puehuia i ka puahiohio mai kahi hehipalaoa aku, A me ka uahi mai ka puka-uahi aku.
Therefore shall they be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away, as the chaff that is driven by the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as smoke out of a window.
4 Aka, owau o Iehova ke Akua ou, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, Mai ike oe i akua e ae, ia'u wale no; No ka mea, aohe Hoola, owau walo no.
Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt: and no god but me shalt thou know, and there is no saviour beside me.
5 Owau ka i ike ia oe ma ka waonahele, Ma ka aina panoa,
I myself did provide for thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
6 E like me ka lakou mea ai, pela i maona ai lakou; Ua maona lakou. a hookiekieia ko lakou naau; No ia mea, ua hoopoina lakou ia'u.
When they came to their pasture, they became sated; they were sated, and their heart was lifted up: therefore have they forgotten me.
7 Nolaila, e like auanei au ia lakou me he liona la; Me he leopadi la ma ke ala, e hoohalua ai au ia lakou.
And now I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard will I lie in wait by the way.
8 E halawai au me lakou me he bea la i hooneleia, A e haehae au i ka wahi o ko lakou naau, A e hoopau aku au ia lakou malaila e like me ka liona: A e haehae ka holoholona o ka waonahele ia lakou.
I will meet them as a bear bereaved of her whelps, and I will rend their closed-up heart; and I will devour them there like a lioness, the beasts of the field shall rend them.
9 Nau iho kou make, e ka Iseraela; Aka, iloko o'u kou kokua.
Thou hast destroyed thyself, O Israel; for against me, against thy helper [didst thou rebel.]
10 Auhea hoi kou alii, nana e hoola mai ia oe ma kou mau kulanakauhale a pau? Auhea hoi kou mau lunakanawai, na mea au i olelo ai, E haawi mai i alii no'u, a me na luna?
Where then is now thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges, since thou saidst, Give me a king, and princes?
11 Haawi aku au i alii nou, no kuu inaina, A lawe aku au ia ia ma kuu huhu.
I give thee a king in my anger, and take him away in my wrath.
12 Ua nakiiia ka hala o ka Eperaima, Ua ahuia kona hewa.
Bound up is the iniquity of Ephraim, treasured up is his sin.
13 O na ehaeha o ka wahine hanau, e hiki mai ia maluna ona: He keiki naaupo ia; No ka mea, aohe ona pono e ku loihi ma kahi e hanau ai na keiki.
The pains of a travailing woman shall come upon him; he is an unwise son; for he will not remain steadfast at the time of the breaking forth of the child.
14 E hoola aku au ia lakou mai ka mana o ka po; E hoola panai au ia lakou mai ka make mai; Owau no kou luku, e ka make; Owau no kou pepehi, e ka po; Ua hunaia ka mihi, mai ko'u maka aku. (Sheol h7585)
From the power of the grave would I ransom them, from death would I redeem them; [but now] where are thy plagues, O death, where is thy pestilence, O grave? compassion shall be hidden from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)
15 Ina ua mahuahua oia mawaena o kona mau hoahanau, E hele mai auanei ka makani hikina, Ka makani o Iehova e hiki mai, mai ka waonahele mai: A e hoomalooia kona punawai, A e maloo kona waipuna; A e hoopau aku ia i ka waiwai o na ipu a pau i makemakeia.
Though he grow luxuriantly in the green meadows, the east wind shall come, the wind of the Lord, rising up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: the same shall plunder the treasure of all precious vessels.
16 E hoopaiia auanei ko Samaria; No ka mea, ua kipi aku ia i kona Akua; E haule auanei lakou ma ka pahikaua; E ulupaia ka lakou mau keiki liilii, A o ka lakou poe wahine hapai e kahaia'ku.
Samaria shall meet her punishment; for she hath rebelled against her God: by the sword shall they fall; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women shall be ripped up.
