< Hosea 2 >

1 Say all of you unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
O Ami, a i ko oukou mau hoahanau wahine, O Ruhama.
2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
E hakaka oukou me ko oukou makuwahine, e hakaka oukou; No ka mea, aole oia o ka'u wahine; Aole hoi wau o kana kane: I haalele ai oia i kona hookamakama ana mai kona maka aku, A me kona moe kolohe hoi mai waena aku o kona mau u:
3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
O wehe aku au ia ia a olohelohe, A e hooku ia ia e like me ia i ka la ana i hanau ai, A e hoolilo ia ia e like me ka waoakua, A e hooku hoi ia ia e like me ka aina maloo, A e pepehi ia ia i ka makewai.
4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.
Aole au e aloha aku i kana poe keiki, No ka mea, he poe keiki lakou na ka moe kolohe.
5 For their mother has played the harlot: she that conceived them has done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
No ka mea, ua moe kolohe ko lakou makuwahine, Ua hana hilahila ka mea nana lakou i hapai: No ka mea, i iho la ia, E hele aku au mamuli o kuu mau ipo, Ka poe i haawi mai i ka'u ai, a me ko'u wai, i ko'u hulu hipa, a me kuu olona, o ko'u aila, a me ko'u mea inu.
6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
No ia mea, aia hoi, e hoopuni au i kou ala i na laau kuku, A e hana au i papohaku nona, I mea e loaa ole ai ia ia kona mau alanui.
7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
A hahai aku no ia i kona mau hoaaloha, aole e loaa lakou ia ia; A imi aku hoi ia ia lakou, aole e loaa; Alaila, e i iho ia, E hele au, a e hoi hou i kuu kane mamua; No ka mea, ua oi aku ko'u pono i kela wa mamua o keia.
8 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
Aole oia i noonoo, ua haawi aku au ia ia i ka mea ai, a me ka waina hou. a me ka aila, A hoomahuahua aku hoi i ke kala, a me ke gula nona, Na mea a lakou i hoomakaukau ai no Baala.
9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
No ia mea, e hoi hou mai au, a e lawe aku i ka'u palaoa i kona manawa, A me ka'u wain a hou i kona manawa iho, E lawe aku hoi au i ko'u hulu hipa, a me ko'u olona, na mea i uhi ai i kona olohelohe.
10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
Ano e hoike aku au i kona mea hilahila imua o na maka o kona mau hoaaloha, Aohe mea e hoopakele ia ia mai ko'u lima aku.
11 I will also cause all her delight to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
A e hoopau aku au i kona lealea a pau, I kana mau ahaaina, i kona mau mahina hou, i kona mau la Sabati. a me kona mau ahaaina a pau.
12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she has said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
A e luku aku au i kona mau kumuwaina, a me kona mau laau fiku, i na mea ana i i mai ai, Oia ka'u uku, o ko'u mau ipo i haawi mai ai ia'u; A e hoolilo au ia mau mea i ululaau, A e ai iho na holoholona ia mau mea.
13 And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgotten about me, says the LORD.
A e hoopai aku au maluna ona i na la o na Baala, I na la ana i kuni ai i ka mea ala no lakou; A i kahiko ai ia ia iho i kona mau apo-ihu, a me kona mau lei-a-i, A hahai no ia mamuli o kona mau ipo, A hoopoina ia ia'u, wahi a Iehova.
14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
Nolaila, aia hoi, e hoowalewale au ia ia, a e alakai aku ia ia i ka waonahele, A e olelo oluolu aku ia ia.
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
A e haawi aku au nona i kona mau malawaina mailaila mai, A i ke awawa o Akora, i puka o ka manaolana; A e mele no ia malaila, e like me ia i kona wa opio, A e like me ia i ka wa ana i puka mai ai mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
16 And it shall be at that day, says the LORD, that you shall call me Ishi; and shall call me no more Baali.
A i kela manawa, wahi a Iehova, e kapa mai oe ia'u o Isi; Aole e kapa hou ia'u, o Baali.
17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
A e lawe ae au i ka inoa o na Baala mai kona waha aku, Aole e hoomanao hou ia lakou ma ko lakou inoa.
18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
A i kela manawa e hana aku au no lakou i berita Me na holoholona o ke kula, a me na manu o ka lewa, A me na mea kolo o ka honua: A e haki ia'u ke kakaka, a me ka pahikaua, a me ka mea kaua mai ka honua aku, A e hoomoe iho au ia lakou me ka maluhia.
19 And I will betroth you unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth you unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving kindness, and in mercies.
E hoopalau aku au ia oe na'u a mau loa aku; A e hoopalau aku au ia oe na'u ma ka pono, a ma ka hoopono, a ma ka lokomaikai, a ma ke aloha.
20 I will even betroth you unto me in faithfulness: and you shall know the LORD.
A e hoopalau aku no hoi au ia oe na'u ma ka oiaio: A e ike aku oe ia Iehova.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, says the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
A i kela manawa, e hoolohe no au, wahi a Iehova, E hoolohe no au i na lani, a e hoolohe lakou i ka honua;
22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
A e hoolohe ka honua i ka ai, a me ka waina, a me ka aila; A e hoolohe no lakou ia Iezereela.
23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, You are my people; and they shall say, You are my God.
A e kanu iho au ia ia ma ka honua; A e aloha aku au i ka mea i aloha ole ia; A e olelo aku au i ka poe kanaka aole no'u, O oe ko'u poe kanaka; A e olelo mai hoi lakou, O oe ko makou Akua.
