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.
“Listen, you priests! And you [other] Israeli people, you also pay attention! And you who are members of the king’s family, [you also need to] listen, because [I am going to] judge you! Your [worshiping idols] has been [like] [MET] a trap for [the people at] Mizpah [town]; it has been [like][MET] a net spread out [to catch people] at Tabor [Mountain].
2 Ke pepehi nui nei ka poe haalele hewa, A e hahau au ia lakou a pau.
You have done many evil things, so I will punish all of you.
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 know [everything about the people of] Israel; nothing that they have done is hidden from me. Because [the people of] Israel have given themselves [to worshiping idols] like [MET] prostitutes [give themselves to the men they sleep with], they have become unacceptable to me.
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.
Because they [like to do evil] things, they will not return to [me], their God. Like prostitutes [who have abandoned their husbands] [MET], they have [IDM] abandoned [MET] me; they do not [even] know me, Yahweh.
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.
[It is as though] their being proud testifies [PRS] against them. The sins that [the people of] Israel have committed [are like a heavy load that] causes them to stumble, and [the people of] Judah stumble 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.
They will come to worship [me], Yahweh, bringing their herds of sheep and cattle, but they will not [be able to] find me, because I have abandoned 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.
They have abandoned me; and their children do not belong to me [MET]. So [they will not be able to celebrate their festivals at] the new moons [because I] will destroy them and [the crops in] their fields.
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 the [rams’] horns in Gibeah [town] [and blow] the trumpets in Ramah [town]! Warn [the people at] Beth-Aven [town]; you warriors of the tribe of Benjamin, lead the troops [into the battle].
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.
Israel will be ruined on the day that [I] destroy them. What I am telling to the tribes of Israel will certainly [happen].
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.
[Because] the leaders of Judah [seized some land that belonged to Israel], they are like [SIM] those who move boundary markers [to get more land for themselves]; [so] I will punish them severely [MET].
11 Ua hooluhiia o Eperaima, ua hookaumahaia ma ka hoohewa, No ka mea, ua lealea oia i ka hele ana mamuli o ke kauoha.
And [the people of] Israel will suffer greatly when I punish them, because they are [very] determined to worship idols.
12 Nolaila, e like auanei au me ka mu no Eperaima, A me he mea popopo la no ko ka hale o Iuda.
I will destroy [the people of] Israel like [SIM] ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches) destroy wool, and I will cause [the people of] Judah to be like [SIM] rotten wood.
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 [the leaders of] Israel and Judah saw that the people were suffering because of what [their enemies were doing to them] [MET], they sent [messages] to the great King of Assyria requesting [his help]. But he cannot help you; he cannot cause you to stop suffering, [because I am the one who is punishing Israel and Judah].
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.
I will become like [SIM] a lion [DOU] to both nations; I will [attack them and] tear them to pieces. I will drag them away, and no one will [be able to] rescue them.
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.
[After that], I will return to my place [in heaven] until they admit that they have sinned [MTY] and return to me; when they will experience [many] troubles, they will request me [to help them].”
