Hosea 2
1 O Ami, a i ko oukou mau hoahanau wahine, O Ruhama.
“Say to your brothers, ‘My people!’ and to your sisters, ‘My loved one!’
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, neither am I her husband; and 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 make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.
4 Aole au e aloha aku i kana poe keiki, No ka mea, he poe keiki lakou na ka moe kolohe.
Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy, for they are children of unfaithfulness.
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 has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who 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 your way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can’t find her way.
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.
She will follow after her lovers, but she won’t overtake them; and she will seek them, but won’t find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, for then it was better with me 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.
For she didn’t know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
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 I will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered 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.
Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will 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.
I will also cause all her celebrations to cease: her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
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.
I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, about which she has said, ‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me,’ and I will make them a forest, and the animals of the field shall eat 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.
I will visit on her the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers and forgot me,” says 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, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.
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.
I will give her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will respond there as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came 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.
It will be in that day,” says the LORD, “that you will call me ‘my husband,’ and no longer call me ‘my master.’
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 take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by 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.
In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.
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.
I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.
20 A e hoopalau aku no hoi au ia oe na'u ma ka oiaio: A e ike aku oe ia Iehova.
I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall 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;
It will happen in that day, that I will respond,” says the LORD. “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to 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 will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will respond to Jezreel.
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.
I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; and I will tell those who were not my people, ‘You are my people;’ and they will say, ‘You are My God!’”
