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 Yahweh which came unto Hosea son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, —and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash, 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 Yahweh with Hosea, was, —that Yahweh said unto Hosea, Go take thee a woman of unchastity, and the children of unchastity, for, unchastely indeed, hath the land been going away from following Yahweh.

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, daughter of Diblaim, —and she conceived and bare 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.

Then said Yahweh unto him, Call his name Jezreel: for, yet a little, and I will visit the bloodshed of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and 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, in that day, that I will break the bow of Israel, in the vale of Jezreel.

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.

Then conceived she again and bare a daughter, and he said to him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah ["Uncompassionated"], —for, not again any more, will I have compassion upon the house of Israel, that I should, forgive, them;

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, on the house of Judah, will I have compassion, and I will save them, as Yahweh their God, —but will not save them by bow, or by 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.

And, when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bare 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 ["No people of mine"], —for ye are Lo-ammi ["No people of mine"], and, I, will not be yours.

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 sons of Israel become like the sand of the sea, which can neither he measured, nor numbered, —and it shall come to pass, in the place where it used to be said to them, No people of mine, are ye, it shall be said to them, Sons of a 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 sons of Judah and the sons of Israel, gather themselves together, as one, and shall appoint them one head, and come up out of the earth, —for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
