Hosea 13

1 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but when he offended in Baal, he died.

I te korerotanga a Eparaima, tera te tuiri; i whakanui ake ia i a ia i roto i a Iharaira: engari, kei tona henga i roto i a Paara, ka mate ia.

2 And now they sin more and more, and have made themselves molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen. They say of them, Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves.

Na inaianei kua neke ake to ratou hara, kua hanga e ratou ta ratou hiriwa hei whakapakoko whakarewa ma ratou, hei whakapakoko e rite ana ki ta ratou i matau ai, a ko taua mea katoa he mahi na nga kaimahi: e korerotia ana aua mea e ratou, Me kihi e nga tangata e mea patunga tapu ana, nga kuao kau.

3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that passes away early, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.

Mo reira ka rite ratou ki te kapua o te ata, ki te tomairangi hoki e ngaro wawe atu nei, ki te papapa hoki e aia atu ana e te paroro i te patunga witi, a ki te paowa hoki o te tumere.

4 Yet I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shall know no god but me, and besides me there is no savior.

Ko Ihowa ano ia ahau, ko tou Atua, o te whenua mai ra ano o Ihipa; kaua ano koe e mohio ki tetahi atua, ko ahau anake, kahore atu hoki he kaiwhakaora, ko ahau anake.

5 I knew thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.

I mohiotia tonutia koe e ahau i te koraha, i te whenua kahore rawa nei he wai.

6 According to their pasture, so they were filled. They were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten me.

Ko to ratou makonatanga rite tonu ki te wahi i kai ai ratou; i makona ratou, a whakakake ana o ratou ngakau; na wareware tonu iho ki ahau.

7 Therefore I am to them as a lion. As a leopard I will watch by the way.

Na, ko taku ki a ratou, ka rite ki te raiona: ka tiaki ahau i te ara ano he reparo:

8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart. And there I will devour them like a lioness. The wild beast shall tear them.

Ko toku tutakitanga ki a ratou ka rite ki to te pea kua tangohia nei ana kuao, ka haea hoki e ahau te taupa o o ratou ngakau; a hei reira ka kainga ratou e ahau ki te kai a te raiona; ka haehaea ratou e te kirehe o te parae.

9 It is thy destruction, O Israel, that thou are against me, against thy help.

Ko tou whakangaromanga ia, e Iharaira, he hoariri koe ki ahau, ki tou kaiawhina.

10 Where now is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities, and thy judges, of whom thou said, Give me a king and rulers?

Kei hea inaianei tou kingi, hei whakaora i a koe i roto i ou pa katoa? ou kaiwhakawa hoki, era i ki ra koe, Homai he kingi me etahi rangatira ki ahau?

11 I have given thee a king in my anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.

Kua hoatu e ahau he kingi ki a koe i ahau e riri ana, a kua tangohia atu ia e ahau i ahau e aritarita ana.

12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up. His sin is laid up in store.

Ko te he o Eparaima, takai rawa; ko tona hara, rongoa rawa.

13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him. He is an unwise son, for it is time he should not tarry in the place of the breaking forth of sons.

Ka pa ki a ia nga mamae o te wahine e whakamamae ana: he tamaiti whakaarokore ia; he wa hoki tenei kia kaua ia e whakaroa ki te wahi e pakaru mai ai nga tamariki.

14 I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death. O death, where are thy plagues? O Sheol, where is thy sting? Repentance shall be hid from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)

Ka hokona ratou e ahau ki te kaha o te reinga, ka utua e ahau kei mate. E te mate, kei hea ou mate uruta? E te urupa, kei hea tau whakangaro? ka huna atu te ripeneta i oku kanohi. (Sheol h7585)

15 Though he be fruitful among his brothers, an east wind shall come, the breath of Jehovah coming up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up. He shall make spoil of the treasure of all goodly vessels.

Ahakoa whai hua ia i roto i ona teina, ka puta mai te hau, he marangai, ko te manawa o Ihowa e pa mai ana i te koraha, a ka maroke tona matapuna, ka mimiti tona manawawhenua: ka pahuatia e ia nga taonga o nga oko katoa e matenuitia ana.

16 Samaria shall bear her guilt, for she has rebelled against her God. They shall fall by the sword. Their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.

Ka whakawaha e Hamaria tona hara; kua whakakeke hoki ia ki tona Atua: ka hinga ratou i te hoari; ka taia iho a ratou tamariki, mongamonga ana, ka haehaea hoki a ratou wahine e hapu ana.
