< Hosea 9 >

1 Rejoice not, O Israel for ioy as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God: thou hast loued a rewarde vpon euery corne floore.
‌ʻOua naʻa ke nekeneka, ʻe ʻIsileli, ʻi he fiefia, hangē ko e kakai kehe: he kuo ke ʻalu ʻo feʻauaki mei ho ʻOtua, kuo ke manako ʻae totongi ʻi he hahaʻanga koane kotoa pē.
2 The floore, and the wine presse shall not feede them, and the newe wine shall faile in her.
Ko e hahaʻanga, mo e tataʻoʻanga uaine ʻe ʻikai fafanga ai ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻae uaine foʻou.
3 They wil not dwel in the Lordes lande, but Ephraim will returne to Egypt, and they will eate vncleane things in Asshur.
‌ʻE ʻikai te nau nofo ʻi he fonua ʻo Sihova; ka ʻe tafoki ʻa ʻIfalemi ki ʻIsipite, pea te nau kai ʻae meʻa taʻemaʻa ʻi ʻAsilia.
4 They shall not offer wine to the Lord, neither shall their sacrifices be pleasant vnto him: but they shall be vnto them as the bread of mourners: al that eate thereof, shalbe polluted: for their bread for their soules shall not come into the house of the Lord.
‌ʻE ʻikai te nau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae uaine kia Sihova, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fiemālie ai: ko ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau ʻe hangē ko e mā ʻae kau tangilāulau kiate kinautolu; ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kai ai te nau ʻuli ai: he ko e mā maʻa honau laumālie, ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
5 What wil ye do then in the solemne day, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?
Ko e hā te mou fai ʻi he ʻaho mamafa, pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe kātoanga ʻa Sihova?
6 For loe, they are gone from destruction: but Egypt shall gather them vp, and Memphis shall burie them: the nettle shall possesse the pleasant places of their siluer, and the thorne shall be in their tabernacles.
He, vakai, kuo nau ʻalu koeʻuhi ko e fakaʻauha: ʻe tānaki ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻIsipite, ʻe tanu ʻakinautolu ʻe Memifisi: ko e ngaahi potu lelei ki heʻenau siliva, ʻe maʻu ia ʻe he hongohongo: ʻe ʻi honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻae ʻakau talatala.
7 The daies of visitation are come: the daies of recompence are come: Israel shall knowe it: the Prophet is a foole: the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquitie: therefore the hatred is great.
Ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ʻaʻahi kuo hoko, ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe totongi kuo hoko; ʻe ʻilo ia ʻe ʻIsileli, ‘Ko e palōfita ko e vale ia,’ ʻoku faha ʻae tangata fakalaumālie, ko e meʻa ʻi he lahi ʻo hoʻo hia, mo e fehiʻa lahi.
8 The watchman of Ephraim shoulde bee with my God: but the Prophet is the snare of a fouler in all his waies, and hatred in the House of his God.
Ko e tangata leʻo ʻo ʻIfalemi naʻe ʻi hoku ʻOtua: ka ko e palōfita ko e tauhele ʻae tangata tauhele manu ʻi hono hala kotoa pē, mo e fehiʻanekina ʻi he fale ʻo hono ʻOtua.
9 They are deepely set: they are corrupt as in the daies of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquitie, he will visite their sinnes.
Kuo nau fakaʻuliʻi lahi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Kipea: ko ia te ne manatu ʻenau hia, te ne ʻaʻahi ki heʻenau angahala.
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wildernes: I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the figge tree at her first time: but they went to Baal-Peor, and separated themselues vnto that shame, and their abominations were according to their louers.
Ne u ʻilo ʻa ʻIsileli hangē ko e kālepi ʻi he toafa; ne u mamata ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai, hangē ko e tomuʻa momoho ʻi he ʻakau ko e fiki ʻi hono ʻuluaki toʻukai: ka ne nau ʻalu ki Peali-Peoli, pea mavahe ʻakinautolu ke nau mā; pea ko ʻenau ngaahi fakalielia naʻe tatau mo ʻenau manako.
11 Ephraim their glorie shall flee away like a birde: from the birth and from the wombe, and from the conception.
Ka ko ʻIfalemi, ʻe puna atu hono nāunau hangē ko e manupuna, mei he fāʻele, mo e manāva, pea mei he tuituʻia.
12 Though they bring vp their children, yet I will depriue them from being men: yea, woe to them, when I depart from them.
Neongo ʻoku nau tauhi ʻenau fānau, ka te u fakamasiva ʻakinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa toe ha tangata: ʻio, malaʻia foki kiate kinautolu ʻo kau ka mahuʻi meiate kinautolu!
13 Ephraim, as I sawe, is as a tree in Tyrus planted in a cottage: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murtherer.
‌ʻOku tō ʻa ʻIfalemi ʻi he potu lelei, hangē naʻaku mamata ki Taia; ka ʻe fanauʻi ʻe ʻIfalemi ʻa ʻene fānau ki he fakapō.
14 O Lord, giue them: what wilt thou giue them? giue them a baren wombe and drie breasts.
Foaki kiate kinautolu, ʻe Sihova: ko e hā te ke foaki? Foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae manāva tōtama mo e huhu maha.
15 All their wickednesse is in Gilgal: for there doe I hate them: for the wickednesse of their inuentions, I will cast them out of mine House: I will loue them no more: all their princes are rebels.
“Ko ʻenau angakovi kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi Kilikali: he naʻe ʻi ai ʻeku fehiʻa kiate kinautolu: koeʻuhi ko e kovi ʻo ʻenau faianga, te u kapusi ʻakinautolu mei hoku fale, ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻofa kiate kinautolu: ko e kau angatuʻu ʻa honau houʻeiki kotoa pē.
16 Ephraim is smitten, their roote is dried vp: they can bring no fruite: yea, though they bring foorth, yet will I slaie euen the dearest of their bodie.
Kuo taaʻi ʻa ʻIfalemi, kuo mōmoa honau aka, ʻe ʻikai te nau fua: ʻio, neongo ʻoku nau fānau, ka te u tāmateʻi ʻae ʻofeina ʻa honau manāva.”
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not obey him: and they shall wander among the nations.
Ko hoku ʻOtua te ne liʻaki ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo kiate ia: pea te nau hoko ko e kau ʻāuhē ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga.
