Hosea 5
1 E HOOLOHE oukou i keia, o na kahuna, E haliu mai oukou, e ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, A e lohe na pepeiao, e ko ka hale o ke alii; No ka mea, no oukou ka hoohewa. No ka mea, ua lilo oukou i pahele ma Mizepa, A i upena hohola hoi maluna o Tabora.
“Hear this, O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, And, O house of the king, give ear, For the judgment [is] for you, For you have been a snare on Mizpah, And a net spread out on Tabor.
2 Ke pepehi nui nei ka poe haalele hewa, A e hahau au ia lakou a pau.
And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I [am] a chain to them all.
3 Ua ike au ia Eperaima, Aole hoi i hunaia ka Iseraela mai o'u aku la: No ka mea, ano, e Eperaima, ua moe kolohe no oe, A ua haumia o ka Iseraela.
I have known Ephraim, And Israel has not been hid from Me, For now you have gone whoring, Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
4 Aole lakou i hoolilo i ko lakou manao e huli hou i ko lakou Akua: No ka mea, he naau moe kolohe iwaena o lakou, Aole lakou i ike ia Iehova.
They do not give up their habitual doings, To turn back to their God, For a spirit of whoredoms [is] in their midst, And YHWH they have not known.
5 Ke hoike mai nei ka haakei o ka Iseraela ma kona maka: Nolaila o ka Iseraela a me Eperaima, e haule pu iloko o ko lakou hewa; A o Iuda hoi kekahi e haule pu me lakou.
And humbled has been the excellence of Israel to his face, And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity, Judah has also stumbled with them.
6 A e hele lakou me ka lakou poe hipa, a me ka lakou poe bipi e imi ia Iehova, Aka, aole e loaa ia lakou; Ua hele ia mai o lakou aku.
With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek YHWH, and do not find, He has withdrawn from them.
7 Ua hana hoopunipuni aku la lakou ia Iehova: No ka mea, ua hoohanau lakou i na keiki e: Ano e hoopauia auanei lakou i ka malama hookahi, a me ko lakou waiwai.
Against YHWH they dealt treacherously, For they have begotten strange sons, Now a month consumes them [with] their portions.
8 E puhi oukou i ka pukani ma Gibea, I ka pu hoi ma Rama: E kahea nui aku ma Betavena mahope on, e Beniamina.
Blow a horn in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O Beth-Aven, after you, O Benjamin.
9 A e neoneo auanei o Eperaima i ka la e hoopaiia'i: Mawaena o na ohana o ka Iseraela ua hoike aku au i ka oiaio o ka mea e hiki mai ana.
Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof, I have made known a sure thing among the tribes of Israel.
10 Ua like na'lii o ka Iuda me ka poe hoonee i ka palena aina: Nolaila e ninini aku au i ko'u huhu maluna o lakou me he wai la.
Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border, I pour out My wrath as water on them.
11 Ua hooluhiia o Eperaima, ua hookaumahaia ma ka hoohewa, No ka mea, ua lealea oia i ka hele ana mamuli o ke kauoha.
Ephraim is oppressed, broken in judgment, When he pleased he went after the command.
12 Nolaila, e like auanei au me ka mu no Eperaima, A me he mea popopo la no ko ka hale o Iuda.
And I [am] as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing to the house of Judah.
13 A ike iho la o Eperaima i kona mai, a o Iuda hoi i kona. eha, Alaila, hele aku la o Eperaima i Asuria, A hoouna aku la i ke alii ku e: Aole nae e hiki ia ia ke hoola ia oukou, Aole hoi e hoola i ko oukou eha.
And Ephraim sees his sickness, and Judah his wound, And Ephraim goes to Asshur, And sends to a warlike king, And he is not able to give healing to you, Nor does he remove a scar from you.
14 No ka mea, e like auanei au me he liona la ia Eperaima, A e like me he liona hou la i ko ka hale o Iuda: Owau, owau ke haehae, a hele aku, E lawe pio aku au, aohe mea nana e hoopakele.
For I [am] as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I tear and go, I carry away, and there is no deliverer.
15 E hele au a e hoi aku i ko'u wahi, A e hoopaiia lakou, a e imi mai i kuu maka: I ko lakou wa pilikia e imi koke mai lakou ia'u.
I go—I return to My place, Until they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they seek Me speedily!”
