Hosea 14
1 E KA Iseraela, e huli mai oe ia Iehova kou Akua; No ka mea, ua haule oe ma kou hewa iho.
Return, O Israel, to the Lord thy God: for thou hast fallen down by thy iniquity.
2 E lawe me oukou i na olelo, a e huli oukou ia Iehova: E i aku ia ia, E lawe aku oe i na hewa a pau, A e ae lokomaikai mai, A e hoihoi aku makou i na mohai o ko makou lehelehe.
Take with you words, and return to the Lord, and say to him: Take away all iniquity, and receive the good: and we will render the calves of our lips.
3 Aole e hoola ko Asuria ia makou; Aole makou e holo maluna o ka lio; Aole hoi makou e olelo hou aku i ka hana a ko makou mau lima. O oe ko makou Akua: No ka mea, ma ou la e loaa'i i ka poe makua ole ka lokomaikai.
Assyria shall not save us, we will not ride upon horses, neither will we say any more: The works of our hands are our gods, for thou wilt have mercy on the fatherless that is in thee.
4 A e kala aku au i ko lakou kipi ana, E aloha wale aku hoi au ia lakou: No ka mea, ua huli ae kuu inaina mai ona aku la.
I will heal their breaches, I will love them freely: for my wrath is turned away from them.
5 E like auanei au me ka hau i ka Iseraela; E pua auanei oia e like me ka lilia, A e kolo lea kona mau aa e like me Lebanona.
I will be as the dew, Israel shall spring as the lily, and his root shall shoot forth as that of Libanus.
6 A e palahalaha aku kona mau lala, A e like auanei kona nani me ka laau oliva, E like hoi kona ala me Lebanona.
His branches shall spread, and his glory shall be as the olive tree: and his smell as that of Libanus.
7 E hoi mai ka poe e noho ana malalo o kona malu; E kupu mai lakou me ka ai, A e ulu lakou me ke kumuwaina: A o kona inoa ua like me ka waina o Lebanona.
They shall be converted that sit under his shadow: they shall live upon wheat, and they shall blossom as a vine: his memorial shall be as the wine of Libanus.
8 E olelo iho o Eperaima, Heaha ka'u e hana hou aku ai i na kii? Ua lohe au a ua nana hou au ia ia; Ua like au me ka laau kaa uliuli; Mai o'u aku ua loaa ia oe ka hua.
Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I will hear him, and I will make him flourish like a green fir tree: from me is thy fruit found.
9 Owai ka mea naauao, i noonoo ai oia i keia mau mea? A akamai hoi, i ike ai oia i keia mau mea? No ka mea, o na aoao o Iehova, ua pololei, A e hele ka poe pono iloko olaila; Aka, o ka poe lawehala, e haule lakou iloko olaila.
Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know these things? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall in them.
