< Hosea 10 >
1 Ko e vaine mōmoa ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoku ne fua mai kiate ia pe: ʻo fakatatau ki he lahi ʻo hono fua kuo ne fakalahi ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga; ʻo fakatatau ki he lelei ʻo hono fonua kuo nau ngaohi ʻae ngaahi tamapua masani.
Israel a vine full of branches, the fruit is agreeable to it: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath multiplied altars, according to the plenty of his land he hath abounded with idols.
2 Kuo mavahevahe honau loto; ko eni, ʻe ʻilo kuo nau hala: te ne lī hifo honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea maumauʻi ʻenau ngaahi tamapua.
Their heart is divided: now they shall perish: he shall break down their idols, he shall destroy their altars.
3 He te nau pehē ni, “ʻOku ʻikai hamau tuʻi, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te mau manavahē kia Sihova; pea ko e hā ʻe fai maʻamautolu ʻe ha tuʻi?”
For now they shall say: We have no king: because we fear not the Lord: and what shall a king do to us?
4 Kuo nau lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea, ʻo tuki loi ʻi he fai ʻae fuakava: ko ia kuo tupu ʻae fakamaau ʻo hangē ko e hemiloki ʻi he luoluo ʻoe ngoue.
You speak words of an unprofitable vision, and you shall make a covenant: and judgment shall spring up as bitterness in the furrows of the field.
5 ʻE manavahē ʻae kakai ʻo Samēlia, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi pulu siʻi ʻa Pete-ʻAveni: ʻe tangilāulau ai ʻae kakai ʻo ia, mo e kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻe fiefia ai, koeʻuhi ko hono nāunau, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene mahuʻi mei ai.
The inhabitants of Samaria have worshipped the king of Bethaven: for the people thereof have mourned over it, and the wardens of its temple that rejoiced over it in its glory because it is departed from it.
6 ʻE ʻave ia foki ki ʻAsilia ko e meʻaʻofa ki he tuʻi ko Salepi: ʻe hoko ʻae mā kia ʻIfalemi, pea ʻe mā ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi heʻene fakakaukau ʻaʻana.
For itself also is carried into Assyria, a present to the avenging king: shame shall fall upon Ephraim, and Israel shall be confounded in his own will.
7 Ka ko Samēlia, ʻe tapipi hono tuʻi, ʻo hangē ko e koā mei he fukahi vai.
Samaria hath made her king to pass as froth upon the face of the water.
8 ʻE ʻauha foki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo ʻAveni, ko e angahala ʻa ʻIsileli: ko e ʻakau talatala mo e tiseli ʻe tupu hake ʻi honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga; pea te nau lea ki he ngaahi moʻunga, ʻo pehē, “ʻUfiʻufi kimautolu;” pea ki he ngaahi tafungofunga, ʻo pehē, “Taʻomia kimautolu.”
And the high places of the idol, the sin of Israel shall be destroyed: the bur and the thistle shall grow up over their altars: and they shall say to the mountains: Cover us; and to the hills: Fall upon us.
9 “ʻE ʻIsileli, kuo ke angahala talu mei he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Kipea: naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi ai: ko e tau ʻi Kipea ki he fānau ʻae angahia naʻe ʻikai te ne fakamoʻua ʻakinautolu.
From the days of Gabaa, Israel hath sinned, there they stood: the battle in Gabaa against the children of iniquity shall not overtake them.
10 ʻOku ʻi heʻeku holi ke tautea ʻakinautolu; pea ʻe fakataha ʻae kakai kiate kinautolu, ʻoka nau ka haʻisia ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻena ongo luo.
According to my desire I will chastise them: and the nations shall be gathered together against them, when they shall be chastised for their two iniquities.
11 Ko ʻIfalemi ko e pulu mui kuo akonekina, ʻoku manako ke malaki [ʻae koane]: ka naʻaku laka ʻi hono kia matamatalelei: te u ngaohi ʻa ʻIfalemi ke heka; ʻe toho huo ʻa Siuta, pea momosi hono kelekele fefeka ʻe Sēkope.
Ephraim is a heifer taught to love to tread out corn, but I passed over upon the beauty of her neck: I will ride upon Ephraim, Juda shall plough, Jacob shall break the furrows for himself.
12 Tūtuuʻi kiate kimoutolu ʻi he angatonu, utu ʻi he ʻaloʻofa, fakamolū ʻae kelekele; ʻoku tuku vaoa he ko e kuonga eni ke kumi kia Sihova, kaeʻoua ke ne hāʻele mai, pea fakaʻuha ʻae māʻoniʻoni kiate kimoutolu.
Sow for yourselves in justice, and reap in the mouth of mercy, break up your fallow ground: but the time to seek the Lord is, when he shall come that shall teach you justice.
13 Kuo mou keli ʻaki ʻae huo toho ʻi he angakovi, kuo mou utu ʻi he angahia; kuo mou kai ʻae fua ʻoe loi: koeʻuhi kuo ke falala ki ho hala, mo hono tokolahi ʻo hoʻo kau tangata mālohi.
You have ploughed wickedness, you have reaped iniquity, you have eaten the fruit of lying: because thou hast trusted in thy ways, in the multitude of thy strong ones.
14 Ko ia ʻe tupu ʻae maveuveu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai, pea ʻe maumauʻi ho ngaahi kolo tau, hangē naʻe maumauʻi ʻe Salimani ʻa Peteapeli ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe tau: naʻe lailai ʻae faʻē mo feleteni mo ʻene fānau.
A tumult shall arise among thy people: and all thy fortresses shall be destroyed as Salmana was destroyed, by the house of him that judged Baal in the day of battle, the mother being dashed in pieces upon her children.
15 ʻE pehē ʻae fai ʻe Peteli kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou ngaahi angakovi lahi: ʻi ha pongipongi pe ʻe mātuʻaki tuʻusi ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
So hath Bethel done to you, because of the evil of your iniquities.
