Hosea 8
1 E KAU i ka pu ma kou waha, Me he aeto la e hele ku e mai i ka hale o Iehova; No ka mea, ua hai ia lakou kuu berita, A ua ae lakou maluna o ko'u kanawai.
[He shall come] into their midst as the land, as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and have sinned against my law.
2 E kahea mai auanei ka Iseraela ia'u, E kuu Akua, ua ike makou ia oe.
They shall soon cry out to me, [saying], O God, we know you.
3 Ua haalele ka Iseraela i ka mea maikai: E hahai auanei ka enemi ia ia.
For Israel has turned away from good things; they have pursued an enemy.
4 Ua hoalii lakou i na alii, aole ma o'u nei; Ua hoonoho lakou i na haku a'u i ike ole ai; Ua hana lakou i ko lakou kala, a me ko lakou gula i kii no lakou, i mea e okiia'ku ai lakou.
They have made kings for themselves, but not by me: they have ruled, but they did not make it known to me: [of] their silver and their gold they have made images to themselves, that they might be destroyed.
5 He mea hoopailua kou keikibipi, e Samaria. Ua hoaaia kuu inaina ia lakou: Pehea la ka loihi a loaa ia lakou ka maemae?
Cast off your calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be unable to purge themselves in Israel?
6 No ka mea, na ka Iseraela keia mea; Na ka paahana no ia i hana; Aole ia he akua: No ka mea, e haki liilii ia ke keikibipi o Samaria.
Whereas the workman made it, and it is not God; therefore your calf, Samaria, was a deceiver:
7 No ka mea, ua lulu lakou i ka makani, A e ohi auanei lakou i ka puahiohio: Aohe kino o ka ai e ku ana; Aole hoi e hua mai ka opuu i ka hua palaoa: Ina paha e hua mai, na ka poe malihini e hoopau ia mea.
for they sowed blighted [seed], and their destruction shall await them, a sheaf of corn that avails not to make meal; and even if it should produce it, strangers shall devour it.
8 Ua hoopauia ka Iseraela: A e like auanei lakou iwaena o ko na aina e, me he ipu la I makemake ole ia.
Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations as a worthless vessel.
9 No ka mea, ua pii ae la lakou i Asuria, me he hoki hihiu, oia wale no! Ua hoolimalima o Eperaima i na mea aloha.
For they have gone up to the Assyrians: Ephraim has been strengthened against himself; they loved gifts.
10 Ua hoolimalima hoi lakou iwaena o na lahuikanaka e, ano e hoakoakoa nae au ia lakou; A e anwe iki lakou no ke kaumaha o ke alii o na haku.
Therefore shall they be delivered to the nations: now I will receive them, and they shall cease a little to anoint a king and princes.
11 No ka mea, ua hoomahuahua o Eperaima i na kuahu no ka hewa, A e lilo na kuahu nona e hewa ai.
Because Ephraim has multiplied altars, [his] beloved altars are become sins to him.
12 Ua kakau aku au nona i na mea nui o kuu kanawai, Aka, ua manaoia ua mau mea la, me he mea e la.
I will write down a multitude [of commands] for him; but his statutes are accounted strange things, [even] the beloved altars.
13 I ke kaumaha ana i kuu mau mohai, ua kaumaha aku lakou i ka io, a ai iho la; Aole i oluolu o Iehova ia lakou; Ano e ho manao oia i ko lakou hala; A e hoopai hoi i ko lakou hewa: A e hoi hou lakou i Aigupita.
For if they should offer a sacrifice, and eat flesh, the lord will not accept them: now will he remember their iniquities, and will take vengeance on their sins: they have returned to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things among the Assyrians.
14 No ka mea, ua hoopoina o ka Iseraela i ka Mea nana ia I hana, a ua hana aku i na hale hoomana; A ua hoomahuahua o ka Iuda i na kulanakauhale i paa i ka papohaku: A e hoouna aku au i ke ahi iloko o kona mau kulanakauhale; A e ai aku ia i kona mau halealii.
And Israel has forgotten him that made him, and they have built fanes, and Juda has multiplied walled cities: but I will send fire on his cities, and it shall devour their foundations.
