Hosea 8
1 E KAU i ka pu ma kou waha, Me he aeto la e hele ku e mai i ka hale o Iehova; No ka mea, ua hai ia lakou kuu berita, A ua ae lakou maluna o ko'u kanawai.
Set the trumpet to thy mouth. As an eagle he comes against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
2 E kahea mai auanei ka Iseraela ia'u, E kuu Akua, ua ike makou ia oe.
They shall cry to me, My God, we, Israel know thee.
3 Ua haalele ka Iseraela i ka mea maikai: E hahai auanei ka enemi ia ia.
Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy shall pursue him.
4 Ua hoalii lakou i na alii, aole ma o'u nei; Ua hoonoho lakou i na haku a'u i ike ole ai; Ua hana lakou i ko lakou kala, a me ko lakou gula i kii no lakou, i mea e okiia'ku ai lakou.
They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made rulers, and I knew it not. They have made themselves idols of their silver and their gold, that they may be cut off.
5 He mea hoopailua kou keikibipi, e Samaria. Ua hoaaia kuu inaina ia lakou: Pehea la ka loihi a loaa ia lakou ka maemae?
He has cast off thy calf, O Samaria. My anger is kindled against them. How long will it be ere they attain to innocence?
6 No ka mea, na ka Iseraela keia mea; Na ka paahana no ia i hana; Aole ia he akua: No ka mea, e haki liilii ia ke keikibipi o Samaria.
For even this is from Israel: the workman made it, and it is no God. Yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 No ka mea, ua lulu lakou i ka makani, A e ohi auanei lakou i ka puahiohio: Aohe kino o ka ai e ku ana; Aole hoi e hua mai ka opuu i ka hua palaoa: Ina paha e hua mai, na ka poe malihini e hoopau ia mea.
For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The blade shall yield no meal. If so be it yields, strangers shall swallow it up.
8 Ua hoopauia ka Iseraela: A e like auanei lakou iwaena o ko na aina e, me he ipu la I makemake ole ia.
Israel is swallowed up. They are now among the nations as a vessel in which no man delights.
9 No ka mea, ua pii ae la lakou i Asuria, me he hoki hihiu, oia wale no! Ua hoolimalima o Eperaima i na mea aloha.
For they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey alone by himself. Ephraim has hired lovers.
10 Ua hoolimalima hoi lakou iwaena o na lahuikanaka e, ano e hoakoakoa nae au ia lakou; A e anwe iki lakou no ke kaumaha o ke alii o na haku.
Yea, though they hire among the nations, I will now gather them, and they shall begin to be diminished because of the burden of the king of rulers.
11 No ka mea, ua hoomahuahua o Eperaima i na kuahu no ka hewa, A e lilo na kuahu nona e hewa ai.
Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, altars have been to him for sinning.
12 Ua kakau aku au nona i na mea nui o kuu kanawai, Aka, ua manaoia ua mau mea la, me he mea e la.
I wrote for him the multitude of my law, but they are counted as a strange thing.
13 I ke kaumaha ana i kuu mau mohai, ua kaumaha aku lakou i ka io, a ai iho la; Aole i oluolu o Iehova ia lakou; Ano e ho manao oia i ko lakou hala; A e hoopai hoi i ko lakou hewa: A e hoi hou lakou i Aigupita.
As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it, but Jehovah does not accept them. He will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins. They shall return to Egypt.
14 No ka mea, ua hoopoina o ka Iseraela i ka Mea nana ia I hana, a ua hana aku i na hale hoomana; A ua hoomahuahua o ka Iuda i na kulanakauhale i paa i ka papohaku: A e hoouna aku au i ke ahi iloko o kona mau kulanakauhale; A e ai aku ia i kona mau halealii.
For Israel has forgotten his maker, and built palaces. And Judah has multiplied fortified cities. But I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof.
