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 give healing to Israel, Then revealed is the iniquity of Ephraim, And the wickedness of Samaria, For they have wrought falsehood, And a thief doth come in, Stript off hath a troop in the street,
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.
And they do not say to their heart, [That] all their evil I have remembered, Now compassed them have their doings, Over-against My face they have been.
3 Ma ko lakou hewa hoolealea aku lakou i ke alii, A i na haku hoi ma ko lakou mau hoopunipuni.
With their wickedness they make glad a king, And with their lies — princes.
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, Like a burning oven of a baker, He ceaseth from stirring up after kneading the dough, till its leavening.
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.
A day of our king! Princes have polluted themselves [with] the poison of wine, He hath drawn out his hand with scorners.
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.
For they have drawn near, As an oven [is] their heart, In their lying in wait all the night sleep doth their baker, Morning! he is burning as a flaming fire.
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 warm as an oven, And they have devoured their judges, All their kings have fallen, There is none calling unto Me among them.
8 O Eperaima, ua hui pu ia me na kanaka e: O Eperaima, he popo palaoa no ia, aole i huliia.
Ephraim! among peoples he mixeth himself, Ephraim hath been a cake unturned.
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.
Devoured have strangers his power, And he hath not known, Also old age hath sprinkled [itself] on him, And he hath not known.
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.
And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And they have not turned back unto Jehovah their God, Nor have they sought Him for all this.
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.
And Ephraim is as a simple dove without heart, Egypt they called on — [to] Asshur they have gone.
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 spread over them My net, As the fowl of the heavens I bring them down, I chastise them as their company hath heard.
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.
Woe to them, for they wandered from Me, Destruction to them, for they transgressed against Me, And I — I ransom them, and they have spoken lies against 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.
And have not cried unto Me with their heart, but howl on their beds, For corn and new wine they assemble themselves, They turn aside against 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.
And I instructed — I strengthened their arms, And concerning Me they think evil!
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 back — not to the Most High, They have been as a deceitful bow, Fall by sword do their princes, From the insolence of their tongue, This [is] their derision in the land of Egypt!
