Hohea 13
1 I te korerotanga a Eparaima, tera te tuiri; i whakanui ake ia i a ia i roto i a Iharaira: engari, kei tona henga i roto i a Paara, ka mate ia.
When Ephraim, spake, there was terror, exalted was, he, in Israel, —but, when he became guilty with Baal, then he died.
2 Na inaianei kua neke ake to ratou hara, kua hanga e ratou ta ratou hiriwa hei whakapakoko whakarewa ma ratou, hei whakapakoko e rite ana ki ta ratou i matau ai, a ko taua mea katoa he mahi na nga kaimahi: e korerotia ana aua mea e ratou, Me kihi e nga tangata e mea patunga tapu ana, nga kuao kau.
Now, therefore they go on to sin, and have made them a Molten Thing out of their silver, after the notion of idols, the workmanship of craftsmen, all of it! Of them, are they saying—Ye sacrificers of men! The Great Calf, shall ye surely kiss!
3 Mo reira ka rite ratou ki te kapua o te ata, ki te tomairangi hoki e ngaro wawe atu nei, ki te papapa hoki e aia atu ana e te paroro i te patunga witi, a ki te paowa hoki o te tumere.
Therefore, shall they become like the morning cloud, and like the dew early departing, —like chaff storm-driven out of the threshing-floor, and like smoke out of a chimney.
4 Ko Ihowa ano ia ahau, ko tou Atua, o te whenua mai ra ano o Ihipa; kaua ano koe e mohio ki tetahi atua, ko ahau anake, kahore atu hoki he kaiwhakaora, ko ahau anake.
Yet, I, Yahweh, have been thy God from the land of Egypt, —and, god beside me, shalt thou not acknowledge, for, saviour, is there none besides me.
5 I mohiotia tonutia koe e ahau i te koraha, i te whenua kahore rawa nei he wai.
I, tended thee in the desert, —in a land parched with drought:
6 Ko to ratou makonatanga rite tonu ki te wahi i kai ai ratou; i makona ratou, a whakakake ana o ratou ngakau; na wareware tonu iho ki ahau.
Whenever they were pastured, then were they satisfied, They were satisfied, and their heart, was lifted up, —because of this, they forgat me.
7 Na, ko taku ki a ratou, ka rite ki te raiona: ka tiaki ahau i te ara ano he reparo:
Therefore am I become to them as a lion, —As a leopard by the way, do I watch.
8 Ko toku tutakitanga ki a ratou ka rite ki to te pea kua tangohia nei ana kuao, ka haea hoki e ahau te taupa o o ratou ngakau; a hei reira ka kainga ratou e ahau ki te kai a te raiona; ka haehaea ratou e te kirehe o te parae.
I will fall upon them as a bear bereaved, and will read asunder the enclosure of their heart, —that I may devour them there, like a lioness, the wild beast of the field, shall tear them in pieces.
9 Ko tou whakangaromanga ia, e Iharaira, he hoariri koe ki ahau, ki tou kaiawhina.
It hath utterly destroyed thee, O Israel, for it was against me, as thy helper!
10 Kei hea inaianei tou kingi, hei whakaora i a koe i roto i ou pa katoa? ou kaiwhakawa hoki, era i ki ra koe, Homai he kingi me etahi rangatira ki ahau?
Where is thy king, then, that he may save thee throughout all thy cities? and thy judges, concerning whom thou saidst, Oh give me a king and rulers?
11 Kua hoatu e ahau he kingi ki a koe i ahau e riri ana, a kua tangohia atu ia e ahau i ahau e aritarita ana.
I might give thee a king in mine anger, and take him away in my wrath.
12 Ko te he o Eparaima, takai rawa; ko tona hara, rongoa rawa.
Bound up, is the iniquity of Ephraim, stored away, his sin.
13 Ka pa ki a ia nga mamae o te wahine e whakamamae ana: he tamaiti whakaarokore ia; he wa hoki tenei kia kaua ia e whakaroa ki te wahi e pakaru mai ai nga tamariki.
The pangs of a woman in labour, shall overtake him, —he, is a son, not wise, for, now, he cannot stand still, when children are about to be born.
14 Ka hokona ratou e ahau ki te kaha o te reinga, ka utua e ahau kei mate. E te mate, kei hea ou mate uruta? E te urupa, kei hea tau whakangaro? ka huna atu te ripeneta i oku kanohi. (Sheol h7585)
Out of the hand of hades, will I ransom them, out of death, will I redeem them, —Where is thy pestilence, O death? Where thy plague, O hades? Repentance, shall be hid from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
15 Ahakoa whai hua ia i roto i ona teina, ka puta mai te hau, he marangai, ko te manawa o Ihowa e pa mai ana i te koraha, a ka maroke tona matapuna, ka mimiti tona manawawhenua: ka pahuatia e ia nga taonga o nga oko katoa e matenuitia ana.
Though, he, among brethren, be fruitful, there shall come in an east wind, the blast of Yahweh out of the desert coming up, that his spring, may dry up, and his fountain, be exhausted, he, will rob the treasure-house of all the vessels of delight.
16 Ka whakawaha e Hamaria tona hara; kua whakakeke hoki ia ki tona Atua: ka hinga ratou i te hoari; ka taia iho a ratou tamariki, mongamonga ana, ka haehaea hoki a ratou wahine e hapu ana.
Samaria, shall be held guilty, for she hath rebelled against her God, By the sword, shall they fall, their infants, shall be dashed to the ground, and, his women with child, shall be ripped up.
