Hosea 10
1 Israel is an empty vine, he brings forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he has increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
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.
2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
Kuo mavahevahe honau loto; ko eni, ʻe ʻilo kuo nau hala: te ne lī hifo honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea maumauʻi ʻenau ngaahi tamapua.
3 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
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?”
4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springs up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
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.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
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.
6 It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
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.
7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.
Ka ko Samēlia, ʻe tapipi hono tuʻi, ʻo hangē ko e koā mei he fukahi vai.
8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
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.”
9 O Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
“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.
10 It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.
ʻOku ʻi heʻeku holi ke tautea ʻakinautolu; pea ʻe fakataha ʻae kakai kiate kinautolu, ʻoka nau ka haʻisia ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻena ongo luo.
11 And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loves to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.
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.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he comes and rain righteousness upon you.
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.
13 All of you have plowed wickedness, all of you have reaped iniquity; all of you have eaten the fruit of lies: because you did trust in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
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.
14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
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.
15 So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
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.
