Hosea 5

1 “Fanongo eni, ʻae kau taulaʻeiki; pea fakafanongo, ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli; pea tokanga mai ho telinga, ʻe fale ʻoe tuʻi; he ʻoku fai kiate kimoutolu ʻae fakamaau, koeʻuhi ko e tauhele ʻakimoutolu ki Misipa, pea ko e kupenga naʻe fola ʻi Tepea.

Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

2 Pea ko e kau angatuʻu ʻoku loto ke fai ʻae fakapō, neongo ko au naʻaku valokiʻi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.

And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.

3 ‌ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻa ʻIfalemi, pea ʻoku ʻikai puli ʻa ʻIsileli meiate au: he ko eni, ʻe ʻIfalemi, ʻoku ke fai feʻauaki, pea kuo ʻuliʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.

I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.

4 ‌ʻE ʻikai te nau ngaohi ʻenau anga ke liliu ki honau ʻOtua: he ko e laumālie ʻoe feʻauaki ʻoku ʻi loto ʻiate kinautolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻa Sihova.

They will not frame their doings to turn unto their Elohim: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known YHWH.

5 Pea ko e fielahi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe fakatōhifo ai hono mata: ko ia ʻe tō ki lalo ʻa ʻIsileli, mo ʻIfalemi ʻi heʻenau angahala; ʻe tō foki ʻa Siuta mo kinautolu.

And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity: Judah also shall fall with them.

6 Te nau ʻalu mo ʻenau fanga sipi mo ʻenau fanga manu ke kumi ʻa Sihova; ka ʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ia; kuo ne mahuʻi meiate kinautolu.

They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek YHWH; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.

7 Kuo nau fai kākā kia Sihova: he kuo nau fakatupu ʻae fānau kehe: ko eni, ko e māhina pe taha, pea ʻe folo ʻakinautolu mo honau ngaahi tofiʻa.

They have dealt treacherously against YHWH: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.

8 “Ifi ʻae meʻa ifi ʻi Kipea, pea mo e meʻalea ʻi Lama: kalanga lahi ki Peteaveni, sio ki mui koe, ʻe Penisimani.

Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.

9 ‌ʻE lala ʻa ʻIfalemi ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe valoki ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli, kuo u fakahā ʻaia ʻe hoko moʻoni.

Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

10 Ko e houʻeiki ʻo Siuta naʻe hangē ko kinautolu ʻoku hiki ʻae fakaʻilonga: ko ia te u lilingi hoku houhau kiate kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e vai.

The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

11 “Kuo fakamālohi mo fesiʻi ʻa ʻIfalemi ʻi he fakamaau, koeʻuhi naʻa ne loto ke muimui ki he vaʻinga.

Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.

12 Ko ia te u hangē ko e ane kia ʻIfalemi, pea hangē ko e popo ki he fale ʻo Siuta.

Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

13 “ʻI he mamata ʻe ʻIfalemi ki hono mahaki, pea mo Siuta ki hono lavea, naʻa ne toki ʻalu ʻa ʻIfalemi ki he ʻAsilia, pea ne fekau ki he tuʻi ko Salepi: ka naʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa fakamoʻui koe, ke moʻui ai ho lavea.

When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.

14 He te u hangē ko e laione ki ʻIfalemi, pea hangē ko e laione mui ki he fale ʻo Siuta: Ko au, ʻio, ko au, te u haeʻi, pea toe ʻalu; te u ʻave pea ʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha te ne fakahaofi.

For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.

15 “Te u tafoki ʻo ʻalu ki hoku potu, kaeʻoua ke nau vete ʻenau hia, pea kumi ki hoku fofonga: ʻi heʻenau ngaahi mamahi, te nau kumi fakavave kiate au.”

I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
