Hosea 9
1 MAI hauoli, e ka Iseraela, me ka olioli, e like me na lahuikanaka; No ka mea, ua hele moe kolohe aku oe mai kou Akua aku, Ua makemake aku oe i na makana ma na kahua hehi palaoa a pau.
Rejoice not, O Israel, Exult not, like the nations! For thou committest fornication, forsaking thy God! Thou lovest hire on every corn-floor.
2 O ke kahua, a me kahi kaomi waina, aole e hanai laua ia lakou, A e pau auanei ka waina hou iloko ona.
The floor and the vat shall not feed them, And the new wine shall deceive them.
3 Aole lakou e noho ma ka aina o Iehova; Aka, e hoi hou o Eperaima i Aigupita; A e ai lakou i na mea haumia ma Asuria.
They shall not dwell in the land of Jehovah; To Egypt shall Ephraim go back, And eat unclean things in Assyria.
4 Aole lakou e kaumaha aku i ka waina ia Iehova, Aole ia e oluolu mai ia mau mea. O ka lakou mau mohai, e like auanei ia lakou me ka berena o ka poe e kanikau ana: O ka poe a pau e ai iho ia mea e haumia lakou; No ka mea, o ka lakou berena no ko lakou ola, aole e laweia oia iloko o ka hale o Iehova.
They shall pour out no offerings of wine to Jehovah, Nor shall their sacrifices please him; They shall be to them as the bread of mourners; All that eat thereof shall be polluted. Their bread shall be for their own hunger; It shall not come into the house of Jehovah.
5 Heaha la uanei ka oukou e hana'i i ka la ahaaina, A i ka la ahaaina a Iehova?
What will ye do in the festal day, In the day of the feast of Jehovah?
6 No ka mea, aia hoi, ua hele aku lakou mai ka luku aku: E hoakoakoa o Aigupita ia lakou, E kanu aku no o Memepi ia lakou. A o na wahi maikai i kuaiia no ko lakou kala e paapu ia i ka puakala; A maloko o ko lakou mau halelewa e kupu ka laau ooi.
For, behold, they go forth from a wasted land; Egypt shall gather them; Memphis shall bury them; The precious places of their silver, Nettles shall possess them; Thorns shall spring up in their habitations.
7 Ua hiki mai na la o ka hoopai ana, Ua hiki mai na la o ka uku ana; E ike auanei ka Iseraela: Ua naaupo ke kaula, a ua hehena ke kanaka kilokilo uhane, no ka hoonuiia o kou hewa, a me ka nui o ka inaina.
The days of visitation are come; The days of retribution are come— Israel shall know that the prophet was foolish, That the man of the spirit was mad— For the greatness of` thy iniquity, and thy great hatred.
8 E kali ana o Eperaima i ke kokua, mai ko'u Akua mai: O ke kaula, he punihei ia o ka mea punihei manu ma kona aoao a pau, A he mea inaina ma ka hale o ke Akua.
If Ephraim seek an answer from my God, The prophet is as the snare of the fowler in all his ways, A net in the house of his God.
9 Ua hana hewa nui lakou e like me na la o Gibea: Nolaila, e hoomanao mai ia i ko lakou hala, A e hoopai mai hoi i ko lakou mau hewa.
They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their iniquity; He will requite their sins.
10 Ua loaa ia'u ka Iseraela e like me na hua waina ma ka waonahele; Ua ike au i ko oukou poe kupuna, e like me ka hua mua ma ka laau fiku i kona hua mua ana; Aka, hele aku la lakou ia Baala-peora, a hookaawale ia lakou iho no ka mea hilahila: A o na mea hoowahawahaia, ua like me ko lakou makemake.
I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness; As the early fruit on the fig-tree, at its first time of bearing, I saw your fathers. But they went to Baal Peor, And separated themselves to shame, And had abominable idols according to their love.
11 A no ka Eperaima, e lele aku auanei ko lakou nani me he manu la, mai ka hanau ana mai, mai ka opu mai, a mai ka hapai ana mai.
The glory of Ephraim shall fly away as a bird; They shall not bring forth, nor bear in the womb, nor conceive;
12 Ina paha e hanai lakou i na keiki a lakou, E hoonele aku au ia lakou mawaena aku o kanaka: A he poino ko lakou i ka wa a'u e haalele ai ia lakou!
Yea, if they bring up children, I will utterly bereave them; Yea, woe to them when I depart from them!
13 O Eperaima, e like me ko'u ike ana ma Turo, ua kanuia oia ma kahi maikai: Aka, e alakai aku o Eperaima i kaua poe keiki no ka mea pepehi.
I have seen Ephraim planted, like Tyre, in a rich pasture, Yet shall Ephraim bring out his children to the murderer.
14 E Iehova, e haawi aku oe ia lakou i ka mea au e haawi aku ai; E haawi aku ia lakou i ka opu hanau hapa wale, a me na u maloo.
Give them, O Jehovah! What wilt thou give them? Give them a miscarrying womb, And dry breasts!
15 O ko lakou hewa a pau, aia ma Gilegala; No ka mea, malaila au i inaina aku ai ia lakou: No ka hewa o ka lakou hana ana e kipaku aku ai au ia lakou mai ko'u hale aku, Aole au e aloha hou aku ia lakou, A o ko lakou mau alii, he poe kipi lakou!
All their wickedness is in Gilgal; Yea, there have I hated them for the wickedness of their doings; I will drive them from my house; I will love them no more; All their princes are revolters.
16 Ua hahauia o Eperaima, Ua maloo ko lakou aa; Aole lakou e hua mai ka hua; A ina e hanau mai lakou, E pepehi no au i na mea aloha o ko lakou opu.
Ephraim is smitten; Their root is dried up; they shall bear no fruit; Yea, though they should beget children, I will destroy the beloved fruit of the womb.
17 E kipaku auanei kuu Akua ia lakou, No ka mea, aole lakou i hoolohe ia ia; A e lilo lakou i poe aea mawaena o na lahuikanaka.
My God shall cast them away, Because they have not hearkened to him, And they shall be wanderers among the nations.
