Hosea 7
1 I KA wa a'u e hoihoi aku ai i ke pio ana o kuu poe kanaka, I kuu hoola ana i ka Iseraela, alaila hoikeia mai ka hewa o Eperaima, A me na mea ino o ko Samaria: No ka mea, ua hana lakou i ka wahahee; A komo mai ka aihue maloko, A hao wale ka poe powa mawaho.
when I heal Israel, Ephraim's sins will be exposed, together with the evil actions of Samaria. They deal in lies; they are thieves who break into homes and rob people on the outside.
2 Aole noonoo ko lakou naau i kuu hoomanao ana i ko lakou hewa a pau: Ano, ua hoopuni ka lakou mau hana ia lakou; Eia no lakou imua o ko'u maka.
But they don't realize that I remember all of their wickedness. Their sins surround them and are always before me.
3 Ma ko lakou hewa hoolealea aku lakou i ke alii, A i na haku hoi ma ko lakou mau hoopunipuni.
They make their king happy with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
4 He poe moe kolohe lakou a pau, e like me ka umu i hoenaenaia e ka mea pulehu palaoa, Hoopanee oia i ka pulehu ana, mahope o ke kawili ana i ka palaoa a hiki i ka wa e hu ai.
All of them are adulterers, burning with lust like an oven whose fire stays hot, even though it is not tended by the baker, having left the dough to rise after kneading.
5 A i ka la o ko kakou alii loohia iho na haku e ka mai i ka wela o ka waina, A o aku la oia i kona lima me ka poe haakei.
On the king's birthday the princes drink so much they are sick, while he joins in with those who mock.
6 No ka mea, ua hoomakaukau lakou i ko lakou naau, e like me ka umu ma ko lakou hoohalua ana: Ua hiamoe ko lakou mau mea peluhu palaoa, a ao ka po: A i kakahiaka, ua wela ia mea e like me ke ahi lapalapa.
Their minds are fired up like an oven; they go to him with their plots. All through the night their anger burns; in the morning it blazes out uncontrollably.
7 Ua wela lakou a pau e like me ka umu, Ua ai lakou i ko lakou mau lunakanawai; Ua haule ko lakou poe alii a pau: Aohe mea e kahea mai ia'u iwaena o lakou.
All of them are as hot as a burning oven, and they exhaust their leaders. All of their kings have fallen, and not one of them calls on me.
8 O Eperaima, ua hui pu ia me na kanaka e: O Eperaima, he popo palaoa no ia, aole i huliia.
Ephraim mixes with the foreign nations; he is as useless as half-baked bread!
9 Ua ai na malihini i kona ikaika, aole nae ia i ike: Ua kau mai no hoi ke oho hina maluna ona, aole nae ia i ike.
Foreigners drain his strength, and he doesn't even realize it. His hair is turning grey and he doesn't even notice.
10 Ke hoike mai nei ka haaheo o ka Iseraela ma kona maka: Aole lakou e hoi hou ia Iehova i ko lakou Akua, Aole imi aku ia ia no keia mea a pau.
Israel's pride testifies against him, but for all of this he still does not return to the Lord their God or look for him.
11 Ua like hoi o Eperaima me he manu nunu la i hawawa aohe ona manao: Kahea aku lakou i ko Aigupita, A hele lakou i ko Asuria.
Ephraim is like a dove, foolish and without sense—calling to Egypt, then going to Assyria.
12 A i ka wa e hele ai lakou, e hohola aku au i ka'u upena maluna o lakou; A e lawe mai au ia lakou ilalo, e like me na manu o ka lewa; A e hahau aku au ia lakou, e like me ka mea a ko lakou ahakanaka i lohe ai.
When they go I will throw my net over them; I will bring them down like wild birds. When I hear them flocking together I will punish them.
13 E auwe lakou! no ka mea, ua auwana lakou mai o'u aku la: O ka make ko lakou! no ka mea, ua kipi mai lakou ia'u: Owau ka i hoola ia lakou, A o lakou ka i olelo wahahee mai ia'u.
What disaster is coming to them because they have strayed from me! Destruction is coming to them because they have rebelled against me! I wish I could redeem them, but they tell lies about me.
14 Aole lakou i auwe mai ia'u me ko lakou naau, i ka wa a lakou i auwe ai maluna o ko lakou wahi moe: Ua hoakoakoa lakou ia lakou iho no ka ai, a no ka waina hou, a ua kipi mai lakou ia'u.
They do not cry out to me with sincere minds; instead they lie on their beds howling. They assemble together and gash themselves to gain grain and new wine, but they turn away from me.
15 Ia'u i ao ai ia lakou, a hooikaika aku ai i ko lakou mau lima, Aka, ke manao hewa mai nei lakou ia'u.
I myself trained them and made them strong, but now they plot evil against me.
16 Ua hoi hou lakou, aole nae i ka Mea kiekie loa; Ua like lakou me he kakaka hewa la: E haule na'lii o lakou me ka pahikaua, no ka hookano o ko lakou alelo: O keia ko lakou hoino ma ka aina o Aigupita.
They turn, but not to the Most High; they are like a useless bow. Their leaders will be killed by the sword because of their cursing. Because of this they will be ridiculed in Egypt.
