< Hosea 13 >

1 ‌ʻI he lea tetetete ʻa ʻIfalemi, naʻa ne hakeakiʻi ia ʻe ia ʻi ʻIsileli; ka ʻi heʻene talangataʻa ia Peali, ne mate ia.
When spoke Ephraim trembling he lifted up he in Israel and he became guilty by Baal and he died.
2 Pea ʻoku nau angahala ni ʻo lahi hake, pea kuo nau ngaohi ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ʻaki ʻa ʻenau siliva kuo haka, pea mo e ngaahi tamapua ʻo fakatatau mo ʻenau ʻilo, ko e ngāue kotoa pē ia ʻae kau tufunga: ʻoku nau pehē ki ai, ‘Tuku ʻae kau tangata ʻoku feilaulau ke ʻuma ki he fanga pulu siʻi.’
And now - they increase to sin and they have made for themselves a molten image from silver their according to skill their idols [is the] work of craftsmen all of it of them they [are] saying [those who] offer sacrifice of humankind calves they will kiss!
3 Ko ia te nau hangē ko e ʻao ʻoe pongipongi, pea hangē ko e hahau ʻoe hengihengi ʻoku mole atu, hangē ko e kafukafu kuo tafi ʻe he ʻahiohio mei he hahaʻanga, pea hangē ko e ʻahu mei he ngotoʻumu.
Therefore they will become like a cloud of [the] morning and like dew rising early going like chaff [which] it is storm-driven from a threshing floor and like smoke from a window.
4 “Ka ko Sihova au, ko ho ʻOtua, mei he fonua ʻo ʻIsipite, pea ʻikai te ke ʻilo ha ʻotua kehe ka ko au pe: he ʻoku ʻikai mo ha fakamoʻui ka ko au pe.
And I [am] Yahweh God your from [the] land of Egypt and gods besides me not you must know and [is] a deliverer there not except me.
5 “Naʻaku ʻilo koe ʻi he toafa, ʻi he fonua ʻoe laʻāina lahi.
I I knew you in the wilderness in a land of drought.
6 ‌ʻO fakatatau ki heʻenau mohuku, naʻa nau mākona; naʻa nau mākona, pea naʻe hiki hake honau loto; ko ia kuo nau fakangaloʻi au.
According to pasture their and they were satisfied they were satisfied and it was exalted heart their there-fore they forgot me.
7 Ko ia te u hangē ko e laione kiate kinautolu: hangē ko e lēpati ʻi he hala te u lamasi ʻakinautolu:
And I became to them like a lion like a leopard on a road I will watch.
8 Te u fakafetaulaki mo kinautolu hangē ko e pea, kuo fakamasiva ʻi he ʻave ʻene fānau, pea te u haeʻi ʻae kofu ʻo honau mafu, pea te u folo ʻakinautolu ʻi ai ʻo hangē ko e laione; ʻe haehae ʻakinautolu ʻe he fanga manu ʻoe vao.
I will meet them like a bear robbed of cubs so I may tear [the] cavity of heart their and I will devour them there like a lion animal of the field it will tear to pieces them.
9 “ʻE ʻIsileli, kuo ke fakaʻauha koe ʻe koe: ka ʻoku ʻiate au hoʻo tokoni.
It will destroy you O Israel for in me in helper your.
10 Te u hoko ko ho tuʻi: kofaʻā ia ha taha kehe te ne fakamoʻui koe ʻi ho ngaahi kolo kotoa pē? Pea mo hoʻo kau fakamaau ʻaia naʻa mou pehē ai, ‘Foaki mai ha tuʻi mo e houʻeiki?’
Where? [is] king your then so he may save you in all cities your and rulers your whom you said give! to me a king and leaders.
11 Naʻaku foaki ha tuʻi kiate koe ʻi hoku houhau, pea naʻaku toʻo ia ʻi heʻeku tuputāmaki.
I gave to you a king in anger my so I may take [him] away in wrath my.
12 Kuo tākai ʻae hia ʻa ʻIfalemi; kuo fufū ʻene angahala.
[is] bound up [the] iniquity of Ephraim [is] stored up sin his.
13 Ko e ngaahi mamahi ʻae fefine ʻoku langā ʻe hoko kiate ia: ko e foha vale ia; ʻe ʻikai lelei ʻene nofo fuoloa ʻi he potu ʻoku hao ai ʻae fānau.
[the] pains of [one who] gives birth They will come to him he [is] a son not wise if a time not he will present himself at birth of children.
14 Te u huhuʻi ʻakinautolu mei he mālohi ʻoe faʻitoka; te u huhuʻi ʻakinautolu mei he mate! ʻE mate, te u hoko ko ho maumauʻi? ʻE faʻitoka, te u hoko ko ho fakaʻauha? “ʻE puli ʻae fakatomala mei hoku mata. (Sheol h7585)
From [the] hand of Sheol will I ransom? them from death will I redeem? them where? [are] thorns your O death where? [is] destruction your O Sheol compassion it will be hidden from eyes my. (Sheol h7585)
15 Neongo ʻoku faʻa fua ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hono kāinga, ʻe hoko ha matangi hahake, ʻe haʻu ʻae matangi ʻa Sihova mei he toafa, pea ʻe maha ʻa ʻene matavai, pea ʻe matuʻu ʻe ʻene vai mapunopuna; te ne maumau ʻae koloa ʻoe ngaahi ipu lelei kotoa pē.
For he a son brothers he flourishes it will come an east wind [the] wind of Yahweh from [the] wilderness [is] about to come up and it may be withered spring his so it may be dried up spring his it it will plunder [the] treasury of every article of preciousness.
16 ‌ʻE hoko ʻo lala ʻa Samēlia; he kuo ne angatuʻu ki hono ʻOtua: te nau tō ʻi he heletā: ʻe lailai ke iiki ʻa ʻenau fānau kei huhu, pea ko honau kau fefine ʻoku feitama ʻe haehae.”
It will be held guilty Samaria for it has rebelled against God its by the sword they will fall children their they will be dashed in pieces and pregnant [women] its they will be ripped open.
