Hosea 4

1 Hear the word of the LORD, all of you children of Israel: for the LORD has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

E HOOLOHE oukou, e na mamo a Iseraela, i ka olelo a Iehova: no ka mea, he hakaka ko Iehova me na kanaka o ka aina; No ka mea, aohe oiaio, aohe aloha, aohe ike i ke Akua ma ka aina.

2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood touches blood.

O ka hoohiki ino, ka hoopunipuni, ka pepehi kanaka, ka aihue, a me ka moe kolohe, ka lakou i hoomahuahua ae ai, a pili aku no ke koko i ke koko.

3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwells therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

No ia mea, e kanikau auanei ka aina, A e nawaliwali na mea a pau e noho ana maluna ona, Me na holoholona o ke kula, a me na manu o ka lewa; Oia, e laweia'ku hoi na ia o ke kai.

4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for your people are as they that strive with the priest.

Aka, mai hakaka kekahi kanaka, aole hoi e papa aku ia hai: No ka mea, o kou poe kanaka, ua like lakou me ka poe e hakaka ana me ke kahuna.

5 Therefore shall you fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with you in the night, and I will destroy your mother.

Nolaila e hina oe i ke ao, O ke kaula hoi, e hina pu ia me oe i ka po; A e luku aku au i kou makuwahine.

6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me: seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.

Ua lukuia ko'u poe kanaka no ka ike ole: No ka mea, ua hoowahawaha oe i ka ike, E hoowahawaha aku hoi au ia oe, Aole oe e malama i ka oihanakahuna na'u: A no kou hoopoina ana i ke kanawai o kou Akua, Owau hoi kekahi e hoopoina i kau poe keiki.

7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.

E like me ko lakou nui ana, pela lakou i hana hewa mai ai ia'u: A e hoololi au i ko lakou nani i mea hilahila.

8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.

Ua ai lakou i ka hewa o kuu poe kanaka, A ua kau i ko lakou mau naau ma ko lakou la hala.

9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

A e like auanei me na kanaka, pela no me ke kahuna: A e hoopai aku au ia lakou e like me ko lakou mau aoao, A e hoouku aku au ia lakou e like me ka lakou hana ana.

10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.

A e ai lakou, aole nae e maona, A e moe kolohe lakou, aole nae e mahuahua ae; No ka mea, ua hooki lakou i ka malama ia Iehova.

11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.

O ka moe kolohe, o ka waina, a me ka waina hou, oia ke lawe aku i ka naau.

12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declares unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms has caused them to go astray, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.

Ke ninau nei kuu poe kanaka i ko lakou kii laau, A ua hoike mai ko lakou kookoo ia lakou; No ka mea, ua hooauwana ka naau moe kolohe ia lakou; Ua hele moe kolohe lakou mai lalo ae o ko lakou Akua.

13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.

Kaumaha aku la lakou ma kahi kiekie o na mauna, A kuni i ka mea ala maluna o na puu, Malalo o ka laau oka, a me ka laau popela, a me ka laau kaa, No ka mea, ua oluolu kona malumalu: No ia mea, e moe kolohe ka oukou poe kaikamahine, A e moe kolohe ka oukou poe hunona wahine.

14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that does not understand shall fall.

Aole au e hoopai aku i ka oukou poe kaikamahine no ko lakou moe kolohe ana, A i ka oukou poe hunona wahine no ko lakou moe kolohe ana: No ka mea, ua hookaawale pu lakou ia lakou iho me na wahine hookamakama, A ua mohai pu lakou me na wahine moe kolohe: A o ka poe kanaka ike ole, e make no lakou.

15 Though you, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not all of you unto Gilgal, neither go all of you up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD lives.

Ina o oe, e ka Iseraela, i moe kolohe, mai hana hewa o ka luda: A mai hele oukou i Gilegala, Mai pii ae oukou i Betavena, Mai hoohiki, E ola o Iehova.

16 For Israel slides back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.

No ka mea, ua paakiki o ka Iseraela, e like me ka paakiki o ka bipiwahine hou: Ano e hanai o Iehova ia lakou, e like me ke keikihipa ma kahi akea.

17 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.

Ua hui pu o Eperaima me na kii, e waiho aku ia ia.

18 Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give all of you.

Ua hewa ka lakou ahainu, Ua mau ko lakou moe kolohe ana; A ake kona poe alii i ka hilahila.

19 The wind has bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.

Ua hoopaa ka makani ia ia iloko o kona mau eheu, A e hilahila auanei lakou i ka lakou mau mohai.
