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 too loudly, Israel, like the nations, for you have commited adultery, being untrue to your God. You have loved a prostitute’s wages on every threshing 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.
Threshing floor and wine vat won’t feed them, the new wine will fail 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 will not stay in the Lord’s land, but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and in Assyria they will eat what is unclean.
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 will not pour out libations of wine to the Lord, nor please him with their sacrifices. Their bread will be like the bread of mourners: all who eat it will defile themselves. For their bread will be only for their hunger, it will not come into the Lord’s temple.
5 Heaha la uanei ka oukou e hana'i i ka la ahaaina, A i ka la ahaaina a Iehova?
What will you do on the day of the festival? Or on the day of the Lord’s feast?
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.
Even if they flee from destruction, Egypt will gather them, Memphis will bury them. Nettles will take possession of their treasure of silver, thorns will push into their tents.
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 punishment are come, the days of recompense are at hand, as soon the Israelites will know! “The prophet is a fool, the inspired man is raving mad!” It is because of the greatness of your iniquity and the greatness of your 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.
Ephraim acts the spy with my God, a prophet finds the snares of a fowler are in all his ways. In the house of his God they lay hostile plots,
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 commit crimes as in the days of Gibeah, God will remember their iniquity. He will punish their sin.
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 like finding grapes in the wilderness. I saw your ancestors like they were the first fruit on a fig tree, but as soon as they came to Baal-peor, they consecrated themselves to shamefulness, and became as abominable as the object of 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.
Ephraim – like a bird his glory flies away. There will be no more birth, no more motherhood, no more conception.
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!
Even though they bring up their children, I will bereave them until not one is left. Woe to them when I turn away 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.
Ephraim – planted like Tyre in a meadow, But Ephraim too must lead forth their children to slaughter.
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, Lord – what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and shrivelled up 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 evil began in Gilgal, there I learned to hate them. Because of the evil of their deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will no longer love them, for all their princes are rebels.
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 blighted, their root withered. If they do bear children, I will slay the darlings of their 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 will reject them because they have not listened to him, and they will become wanderers among the nations.
