Hosea 6
1 I NA kakou e hoi hou aku ia Iehova, No ka mea, ua haehae mai kela, a e hoola mai ia ia kakou; Ua hahau mai ia, a e hoola mai no oia ia kakou.
Come, let us go back to the Lord; for he has given us wounds and he will make us well; he has given blows and he will give help.
2 Mahope o na la elua e hoola mai ia ia kakou: I ke kolu o ka la e hooku mai ia ia kakou iluna, A e ola kakou imua ona.
After two days he will give us life, and on the third day he will make us get up, and we will be living before him.
3 Alaila e ike kakou, ke hahai kakou e ike ia Iehova; Ua makaukau kona hele ana'ku, e like me ka wanaao: A e hele mai ia ia kakou e like me ka ua; E like me ke kuaua mua, a me ke kuaua hope maluna o ka honua.
And let us have knowledge, let us go after the knowledge of the Lord; his going out is certain as the dawn, his decisions go out like the light; he will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.
4 E Eperaima, heaha ka'u e hana aku ai ia oe? E Iuda, heaha ka'u e hana aku ai ia oe? No ka mea, o ka oukou pono, na like me ke ao kakahiaka, A ua like me ka hau e nalo koke ana.
O Ephraim, what am I to do to you? O Judah, what am I to do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew which goes early away.
5 No ia mea, ua kalai aku au ia lakou ma na kaula; Ua pepehi aku au ia lakou ma na olelo a kuu waha: A e puka aku kou hoohewaia e like me ka malamalama.
So I have had it cut in stones; I gave them teaching by the words of my mouth;
6 No ka mea, o ke aloha ko'u makemake, aole ka mohai; A o ka ike i ke Akua mamua o na mohaikuni.
Because my desire is for mercy and not offerings; for the knowledge of God more than for burned offerings.
7 Aka, e like me kanaka, ua hai ia lakou ka berita: Ilaila ua hana hoopunipuni mai lakou ia'u.
But like a man, they have gone against the agreement; there they were false to me.
8 O Gileada ke kulanakauhale o ka poe hana hewa, i hahiia i na kapuwai koko.
Gilead is a town of evil-doers, marked with blood.
9 E like me ka poe hao wale e hoohalua ana i ke kanaka; Pela no ka poe kahuna i pepehi wale ma ke ala o Sekema; No ka mea, ke hana nei lakou i ka mea ino.
And like a band of thieves waiting for a man, so are the priests watching secretly the way of those going quickly to Shechem, for they are working with an evil design.
10 Maloko o ka ohana a Iseraela ua ike au i ka mea weliweli; Malaila ka moe kolohe o Eperaima, Ua haumia ka Iseraela:
In Israel I have seen a very evil thing; there false ways are seen in Ephraim, Israel is unclean;
11 Nou hoi, e ka Iuda, ua makaukau ka ohi ai ana.
And Judah has put up disgusting images for himself.
