Hosea 2
1 O Ami, a i ko oukou mau hoahanau wahine, O Ruhama.
Call ye your brothers, 'Ammi [[my people]]; and your sisters, Ruchamah [[That hath obtained mercy]].
2 E hakaka oukou me ko oukou makuwahine, e hakaka oukou; No ka mea, aole oia o ka'u wahine; Aole hoi wau o kana kane: I haalele ai oia i kona hookamakama ana mai kona maka aku, A me kona moe kolohe hoi mai waena aku o kona mau u:
Contend with your mother, contend; for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband; but let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts:
3 O wehe aku au ia ia a olohelohe, A e hooku ia ia e like me ia i ka la ana i hanau ai, A e hoolilo ia ia e like me ka waoakua, A e hooku hoi ia ia e like me ka aina maloo, A e pepehi ia ia i ka makewai.
Lest I strip her naked, and set her, as on the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and render her like a dry land, and let her die with thirst.
4 Aole au e aloha aku i kana poe keiki, No ka mea, he poe keiki lakou na ka moe kolohe.
And upon her children will I not have mercy; for they are children of prostitution;
5 No ka mea, ua moe kolohe ko lakou makuwahine, Ua hana hilahila ka mea nana lakou i hapai: No ka mea, i iho la ia, E hele aku au mamuli o kuu mau ipo, Ka poe i haawi mai i ka'u ai, a me ko'u wai, i ko'u hulu hipa, a me kuu olona, o ko'u aila, a me ko'u mea inu.
For their mother hath played the harlot; she that conceived them hath done shamefully; for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.
6 No ia mea, aia hoi, e hoopuni au i kou ala i na laau kuku, A e hana au i papohaku nona, I mea e loaa ole ai ia ia kona mau alanui.
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will close it up with a fence, that she shall not find her paths.
7 A hahai aku no ia i kona mau hoaaloha, aole e loaa lakou ia ia; A imi aku hoi ia ia lakou, aole e loaa; Alaila, e i iho ia, E hele au, a e hoi hou i kuu kane mamua; No ka mea, ua oi aku ko'u pono i kela wa mamua o keia.
And she will make pursuit after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she will seek them, but shall not find them: then will she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for it was better with me then than now.
8 Aole oia i noonoo, ua haawi aku au ia ia i ka mea ai, a me ka waina hou. a me ka aila, A hoomahuahua aku hoi i ke kala, a me ke gula nona, Na mea a lakou i hoomakaukau ai no Baala.
But she indeed did not acknowledge, that it was I that had given her the corn, and the wine, and the oil, and multiplied for her silver and gold, which they devoted for Ba'al.
9 No ia mea, e hoi hou mai au, a e lawe aku i ka'u palaoa i kona manawa, A me ka'u wain a hou i kona manawa iho, E lawe aku hoi au i ko'u hulu hipa, a me ko'u olona, na mea i uhi ai i kona olohelohe.
Therefore will I turn back, and take away my corn in its time, and my wine in its season, and I will snatch away my wool and my flax, [given] to cover her nakedness.
10 Ano e hoike aku au i kona mea hilahila imua o na maka o kona mau hoaaloha, Aohe mea e hoopakele ia ia mai ko'u lima aku.
And now will I lay open her disgrace before the eyes of her lovers, and no man shall deliver her out of my hand.
11 A e hoopau aku au i kona lealea a pau, I kana mau ahaaina, i kona mau mahina hou, i kona mau la Sabati. a me kona mau ahaaina a pau.
And I will cause to cease all her mirth, her festival, her new-moon, and her sabbath, and all her appointed feasts.
12 A e luku aku au i kona mau kumuwaina, a me kona mau laau fiku, i na mea ana i i mai ai, Oia ka'u uku, o ko'u mau ipo i haawi mai ai ia'u; A e hoolilo au ia mau mea i ululaau, A e ai iho na holoholona ia mau mea.
And I will make desolate her vine and her fig-tree, whereof she hath said, These are my reward which my lovers have given me: and I will change them into a forest, and the beasts of the field shall devour them.
13 A e hoopai aku au maluna ona i na la o na Baala, I na la ana i kuni ai i ka mea ala no lakou; A i kahiko ai ia ia iho i kona mau apo-ihu, a me kona mau lei-a-i, A hahai no ia mamuli o kona mau ipo, A hoopoina ia ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
And I will visit upon her the days of the Be'alim, to which she used to burn incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and me she forgot, saith the Lord.
14 Nolaila, aia hoi, e hoowalewale au ia ia, a e alakai aku ia ia i ka waonahele, A e olelo oluolu aku ia ia.
Therefore, behold, will I allure her, and lead her forth into the wilderness, and I will speak comfortingly unto her heart.
15 A e haawi aku au nona i kona mau malawaina mailaila mai, A i ke awawa o Akora, i puka o ka manaolana; A e mele no ia malaila, e like me ia i kona wa opio, A e like me ia i ka wa ana i puka mai ai mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
And I will give her [again] her vineyards from there, and the valley of 'Achor [[sorrow]] as an entrance for hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as on the day of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.
16 A i kela manawa, wahi a Iehova, e kapa mai oe ia'u o Isi; Aole e kapa hou ia'u, o Baali.
And it shall happen at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ishi [[my husband]], and shalt not call me any more Ba'ali [[my lord]].
17 A e lawe ae au i ka inoa o na Baala mai kona waha aku, Aole e hoomanao hou ia lakou ma ko lakou inoa.
For I will remove the names of the Be'alim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.
18 A i kela manawa e hana aku au no lakou i berita Me na holoholona o ke kula, a me na manu o ka lewa, A me na mea kolo o ka honua: A e haki ia'u ke kakaka, a me ka pahikaua, a me ka mea kaua mai ka honua aku, A e hoomoe iho au ia lakou me ka maluhia.
And I will make for them a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and bow, and sword, and war I will break away out of the land, and I will cause them to lie down in safety.
19 E hoopalau aku au ia oe na'u a mau loa aku; A e hoopalau aku au ia oe na'u ma ka pono, a ma ka hoopono, a ma ka lokomaikai, a ma ke aloha.
And I will betroth thee unto me for ever: yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in justice, and in loving-kindness, and in mercy.
20 A e hoopalau aku no hoi au ia oe na'u ma ka oiaio: A e ike aku oe ia Iehova.
And I will betroth thee unto me in faithfulness; and thou shalt know the Lord.
21 A i kela manawa, e hoolohe no au, wahi a Iehova, E hoolohe no au i na lani, a e hoolohe lakou i ka honua;
And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will answer prayer, saith the Lord, I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth;
22 A e hoolohe ka honua i ka ai, a me ka waina, a me ka aila; A e hoolohe no lakou ia Iezereela.
And the earth shall answer the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall answer Yizre'el.
23 A e kanu iho au ia ia ma ka honua; A e aloha aku au i ka mea i aloha ole ia; A e olelo aku au i ka poe kanaka aole no'u, O oe ko'u poe kanaka; A e olelo mai hoi lakou, O oe ko makou Akua.
And I will sow her for me in the land; and I will have mercy upon “Her that had not obtained mercy” [[Lo-ruchamah]]; and I will say to those who were “Not my people” [[Lo-'ammi]], Thou art my people: and they shall say, Thou art my God.
