Hosea 1

1 K A OLELO a Iehova ia Hosea, ke keiki a Beeri, i na la o Uria, o Iotama, o Ahaza, a o Hezekia, na'lii o ka Iuda; a i na la o leroboama ke keiki a Ioasa, ke alii o ka Iseraela.

The word of the Lord that came unto Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of 'Uzziyah, Jotham, Achaz, [and] Hezekiah, the kings of Judah, and in the days of Jerobo'am the son of Joash the king of Israel.

2 O ka mua o ka olelo a Iehova ma Hosea. Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Hosea, e hele oe, a e lawe i wahine moe kolohe nau, a i na keiki moe kolohe hoi: no ka mea, ua moe kolohe nui ko ka aina, i ka haalele ana ia Iehova.

The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea was, that the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of prostitution and children of prostitution; for the [inhabitants of the] land go far astray, departing from the Lord.

3 A hele aku la ia, a lawe ia Gomera, ke kaikamahine a Dibelaima; a hapai ae la oia, a hanau mai la he keikikane nana.

So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblayim, and she conceived and bore him a son.

4 A olelo mai la o Iehova ia ia, e kapa aku i kona inoa, o Iezereela; no ka mea, aole liuliu aku, a e hoopai aku au i ke koko o Iezereela maluna o ko ka hale o Iehu; a e hoopau auanei au i ke aupuni o ko ka hale o ka Iseraela.

And the Lord said unto him, Call his name Yizre'el; for but yet a little while, when I will visit the blood of Yizre'el upon the house of Jehu, and I will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

5 A i kela manawa e haki no ia'u ke kikoo o ka Iseraela ma ka papu o Iezereela.

And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Yizre'el.

6 Hapai hou ae la oia, a hanau mai la, he kaikamahine. Olelo mai ke Akua ia ia, e kapa aku i kona inoa, o Loruhama, no ka mea, aole au e aloha hou aku i ko. ka hale o ka Iseraela; aka, e lawe loa aku au ia lakou.

And she conceived again, and bore a daughter: and he said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruchamah [[Not finding mercy]]; for I will not farther have any more mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will give them their full recompense.

7 Aka, e aloha aku au i ko ka hale o ka Iuda, a e hoola aku au ia lakou ma o Iehova la ko lakou Akua; aole au e hoola ia lakou ma ke kikoo, a me ka pahikaua; aole ma ke kaua, aole hoi ma na lio, a ma na hoohololio.

But upon the house of Judah will I have mercy, and I will save them through the Lord their God, and I will not save them by the bow, or by the sword, or by battle, by horses, or by horsemen.

8 A i ka wa i ukuhi aku ai oia ia Loruhama, hapai ae la oia, a hanau mai he keikikane.

Now when she had weaned Lo-ruchamah, she conceived, and bore a son.

9 I mai la ke Akua, E kapa aku i kona inoa, o Loami; no ka mea, aole oukou he poe kanaka no'u, aole auanei hoi au he Akua no oukou.

Then said he, Call his name Lo-'ammi [[Not my people]]; for ye are not my people, and I will indeed not be unto you [a God].

10 Aka, e like auanei ka lehulehu o na mamo a Iseraela, me ke one o ke kai, aole e hiki ke anaia, aole hoi ke heluia; a ma kahi i oleloia'i lakou, Aole o ko'u poe kanaka oukou, malaila e oleloia'i lakou, He poe keiki oukou na ke Akua ola.

Yet shall the number of the children of Israel [once] be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that instead that people say of them, Ye are not my people [[Lo-'ammi]], shall they call them, The sons of the living God.

11 A e hoakoakoaia mai na mamo a Iuda, a me na mamo a Iseraela, ma kahi hookahi, a e hoonoho lakou i hookahi alii no lakou; a e pii ae la lakou mai ka aina mai; no ka mea, nani ka manawa o Iezereela.

Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and they will appoint for themselves one head, and they shall go up out of the land, for great shall be the day of Yizre'el.
