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 ye this—O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, and ye, House of the King, give ear, for, to you, pertaineth the sentence, —for, a snare, have ye been to Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
2 Ke pepehi nui nei ka poe haalele hewa, A e hahau au ia lakou a pau.
And, a slaughter, have apostates deeply designed, —though, I, was a rebuker 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, hath not been hidden from me, —for, now, hast thou committed unchastity, O Ephraim, Israel, hath made himself impure.
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.
Their doings, will not suffer, them to return unto their God, —for, the spirit of unchastity, is within them, and, Yahweh, have they 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.
Therefore will the Excellency of Israel, answer, to his face, —and, Israel and Ephraim, shall stumble in their iniquity, even Judah with them, hath stumbled.
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With their flocks and with their herds, will they go to seek Yahweh, but shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.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.
With Yahweh, have they dealt treacherously, for, to alien children, have they given birth, —now, a new moon, shall devour 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 ye a horn in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, —sound an alarm at Beth-aven, behind thee, 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, shall become, a desolation, in the day of rebuke: Throughout the tribes of Israel, have I hide known what is sure.
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.
The rulers of Judah have become as they who remove a land-mark. Upon them, will I pour out, like water, my wrath.
11 Ua hooluhiia o Eperaima, ua hookaumahaia ma ka hoohewa, No ka mea, ua lealea oia i ka hele ana mamuli o ke kauoha.
Oppressed, is Ephraim, crushed in judgment, —because he hath, wilfully, walked after falsehood.
12 Nolaila, e like auanei au me ka mu no Eperaima, A me he mea popopo la no ko ka hale o Iuda.
But, I, was like a moth, to Ephraim, —and like rotten wood 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.
When Ephraim, saw, his injury, and Judah his wound, then went Ephraim unto Assyria, and [Judah] sent unto a hostile king, —yet, he, cannot heal you, nor will the wound, remove 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, will be as a lion unto Ephraim, and as a young lion to the house of Judah, —I, I, will tear in pieces, and depart, I will carry off, and none be able to rescue.
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 will depart, will return unto my place! till what time they acknowledge their guilt, and seek my face, —In their trouble, will they make for me diligent search.
