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.
“Put the trumpet to your lips! Something like an eagle is over the LORD’s house, because they have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.
2 E kahea mai auanei ka Iseraela ia'u, E kuu Akua, ua ike makou ia oe.
They cry to me, ‘My God, we, Israel, acknowledge you!’
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 will 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 princes, and I didn’t approve. Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols, 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?
Let Samaria throw out his calf idol! My anger burns against them! How long will it be until they are capable of purity?
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 this is even from Israel! The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, 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 will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will 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. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.
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 wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.
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.
But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.
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, they became for him altars 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 many things of my law, but they were regarded 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 meat and eat it, but the LORD doesn’t accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will 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 on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses.”
