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.
Do not rejoice, O Israel, with exultation, like the peoples, for thou hast gone away unchastely from beside thy God, —thou hast loved a present, upon all the threshing-floors of corn!
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, will not feed them, and, new wine, will deny 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 Yahweh, but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and, in Assyria—that which is unclean, shall they eat.
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 not pour out to Yahweh—wine, neither shall they be pleasing to him, their sacrifices, are as the food of mourning to them, all that eat thereof, shall defile themselves, because, their food for their appetite, entereth not into the house of Yahweh.
5 Heaha la uanei ka oukou e hana'i i ka la ahaaina, A i ka la ahaaina a Iehova?
What will ye do, for the day of appointed meeting? and in the day of the festival of Yahweh?
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, though they have gone from destruction, yet, Egypt, shall gather them, Memphis, shall bury them, —as for their silver favorites! thistles, shall possess them, thorns in 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.
Come are the days of visitation, come are the days of recompense, Let Israel know! The prophet is foolish, the man of the spirit doth rave, because of the greatness of thine iniquity, therefore great is the prosecution.
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.
The watchman of Ephraim, [should have been] with my God: As for the prophet, the snare of the fowler, is on all his ways, a prosecution [awaiteth him], 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, like the days of Gibeah: he will call to mind their iniquity, he will punish 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.
Like grapes in the desert, found I Israel, like the first-ripe in the fig-tree when it is young, saw I your fathers, —they, entered Baal-peor, and devoted themselves to the Shameful Thing, Then became their abominations like their lusts.
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.
As for Ephraim! like a bird, did their glory, fly away, —no birth, and none with child, no 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!
Yea, though they rear their children, yet will I make them childless, till there be no human being, —for it is, nothing less than 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.
Ephraim! just as I provided for Tyre, was planted in a meadow, —yet, Ephraim, must needs bring forth for a murderer his children.
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 Yahweh—what wilt thou give? Give them, a miscarrying womb, and breasts dried up.
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 come to hate them, For the wickedness of their doings—out of my house, will I drive them forth, —no more will I love them, all their rulers, are unruly.
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.
Smitten is Ephraim, their root, hath dried up, fruit, shall they not bear, —yea, though they do bring forth, yet will I 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 hearkened not unto him, —that they may become wanderers throughout the nations.
