Hosea 14
1 Israel, convert to the Lord your God. For you have been ruined by your own iniquity.
E KA Iseraela, e huli mai oe ia Iehova kou Akua; No ka mea, ua haule oe ma kou hewa iho.
2 Take these words with you and return to the Lord. And say to him, “Remove all iniquity and accept the good. And we will repay the calves of our lips.
E lawe me oukou i na olelo, a e huli oukou ia Iehova: E i aku ia ia, E lawe aku oe i na hewa a pau, A e ae lokomaikai mai, A e hoihoi aku makou i na mohai o ko makou lehelehe.
3 Assur will not save us; we will not ride on horses. Neither will we say any more, ‘The works of our hands are our gods,’ for those that are in you will have mercy on the orphan.”
Aole e hoola ko Asuria ia makou; Aole makou e holo maluna o ka lio; Aole hoi makou e olelo hou aku i ka hana a ko makou mau lima. O oe ko makou Akua: No ka mea, ma ou la e loaa'i i ka poe makua ole ka lokomaikai.
4 I will heal their contrition; I will love them spontaneously. For my wrath has been turned away from them.
A e kala aku au i ko lakou kipi ana, E aloha wale aku hoi au ia lakou: No ka mea, ua huli ae kuu inaina mai ona aku la.
5 I will be like the dew; Israel will spring forth like the lily, and his root will spread out like that of the cedars of Lebanon.
E like auanei au me ka hau i ka Iseraela; E pua auanei oia e like me ka lilia, A e kolo lea kona mau aa e like me Lebanona.
6 His branches will advance, and his glory will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance will be like that of the cedars of Lebanon.
A e palahalaha aku kona mau lala, A e like auanei kona nani me ka laau oliva, E like hoi kona ala me Lebanona.
7 They will be converted, sitting in his shadow. They will live on wheat, and they will grow like a vine. His memorial will be like the wine of the cedars of Lebanon.
E hoi mai ka poe e noho ana malalo o kona malu; E kupu mai lakou me ka ai, A e ulu lakou me ke kumuwaina: A o kona inoa ua like me ka waina o Lebanona.
8 Ephraim will say, “What are idols to me anymore?” I will listen to him, and I will set him straight like a healthy spruce tree. Your fruit has been found by me.
E olelo iho o Eperaima, Heaha ka'u e hana hou aku ai i na kii? Ua lohe au a ua nana hou au ia ia; Ua like au me ka laau kaa uliuli; Mai o'u aku ua loaa ia oe ka hua.
9 Who is wise and will understand this? Who has understanding and will know these things? For the ways of the Lord are straight, and the just will walk in them, but truly, the traitors will fall in them.
Owai ka mea naauao, i noonoo ai oia i keia mau mea? A akamai hoi, i ike ai oia i keia mau mea? No ka mea, o na aoao o Iehova, ua pololei, A e hele ka poe pono iloko olaila; Aka, o ka poe lawehala, e haule lakou iloko olaila.
