Hohea 11
1 I a Iharaira e tamariki ana i aroha ahau ki a ia i reira, a karangatia ana e ahau taku tama i Ihipa.
If [was] a youth Israel and I loved him and from Egypt I summoned son my.
2 E karanga ana ratou i a ratou, e haere ke atu ana i a ratou: i patu whakahere ratou ki nga Paarimi, i tahu whakakakara ano ki nga whakapakoko.
They summoned them so they went from before them to the Baals they sacrificed and to the idols they made smoke!
3 Otiia naku a Eparaima i ako ki te haere; i hikitia ratou e ahau ki runga ki oku ringa; heoi kihai ratou i mohio e rongoa ana ahau i a ratou.
And I I taught to walk Ephraim he took them on arms his and not they knew that I had healed them.
4 He taura tangata aku ki te kukume i a ratou, he here aroha: ko taku hoki ki a ratou ko ta te hunga e tango ana i te ioka i o ratou kauae; i hoatu ano e ahau he kai ki mua i a ratou.
With cords of humankind I drew them with ropes of love and I was to them like [those who] lift a yoke on jaws their and I incline to him I feed [him].
5 E kore ia e hoki atu ki te whenua o Ihipa; engari ko te Ahiriana hei kingi mona, mo ratou kihai i pai ki te hoki.
Not he will return to [the] land of Egypt and Assyria it [will be] king his for they have refused to repent.
6 Ka haua iho te hoari ki runga ki ona pa, whakamoti ai i ona tutaki a pau ake; na o ratou whakaaro hoki.
And it will whirl a sword in cities his and it will put an end to bars his and it will devour [them] from schemes their.
7 A kei te tohe taku iwi ki te tahuri ke i ahau: ahakoa karangatia ratou ki te mea i runga rawa, kahore tetahi o ratou e whakanui i a ia.
And people my [is] hung up to apostasy my and to a height they call on him together not he will exalt [them].
8 Me pehea koe ka hoatu whakarere ai e ahau, e Eparaima, me pehea ka tukua ai koe e ahau, e Iharaira? Me pehea ka meinga ai koe e ahau kia rite ki Arema? me pehea ka waiho ai koe kia rite ki Tepoimi? kua puta ke toku ngakau i roto i ahau, ngiha tah i ano oku konohinohitanga.
How? will I give up you O Ephraim will I deliver up? you O Israel how? will I make you like Admah will I make? you like Zeboiim it has been changed on me heart my together they have grown warm compassions my.
9 E kore toku riri e mura nei e puta, e kore ahau e hoki ki te whakangaro i a Eparaima: ko te Atua hoki ahau, ehara i te tangata, ko te Mea Tapu i waenganui i a koe: e kore ano ahau e tomo ki te pa.
Not I will carry out [the] burning of anger my not I will repeat to destroy Ephraim for [am] God I and not a human in midst your [the] holy [one] and not I will come in rage.
10 Ka whaia e ratou a Ihowa, a ka hamama ia ano he raiona: ka hamama hoki ia, a ka haere wiri mai nga tamariki i te hauauru.
After Yahweh they will walk like a lion he will roar if he he will roar and they may tremble children from [the] west.
11 Ka rere wiri mai ratou i Ihipa ano he manu, i te whenua o Ahiria ano he kukupa: ka whakanohoia ano hoki ratou e ahau ki o ratou whare, e ai ta Ihowa.
They will tremble like a bird from Egypt and like a dove from [the] land of Assyria and I will cause to dwell them at houses their [the] utterance of Yahweh.
12 Kua oti ahau te karapoti e Eparaima ki te teka, e te whare o Iharaira ki te tinihanga: engari a Hura kei runga i ta te Atua tana tikanga: kei te Mea Tapu ia, pono tonu.
They have surrounded me with lying Ephraim and with deceit [the] house of Israel and Judah still it has roamed with God and with [the] holy [one] faithful.
