Osee 8
1 [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.
Meinga te tetere ki tou mangai. Ka rite ia ki te ekara, ina whakaekea e ia te whare o Ihowa; mo ratou i whakataka i taku kawenata, i takahi i taku ture.
2 They shall soon cry out to me, [saying], O God, we know you.
Tera ratou e karanga ki ahau, E toku Atua, e mohio ana matou, a Iharaira, ki a koe.
3 For Israel has turned away from good things; they have pursued an enemy.
Kua akiritia e Iharaira te mea pai: ka whaia ia e te hoariri.
4 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.
Ko ta ratou whakarite kingi ehara i te mea naku, ko ta ratou whakarite rangatira ehara i te mea i mohiotia e ahau: kua hanga e ratou ta ratou hiriwa, ko ta ratou koura hei whakapakoko ma ratou, he mea e hatepea ai ratou.
5 Cast off your calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be unable to purge themselves in Israel?
Kua akiritia e ia tau kuao kau, e Hamaria: kua mura toku riri ki a ratou: kia pehea ake te roa ka tae ai ratou ki te harakore?
6 Whereas the workman made it, and it is not God; therefore your calf, Samaria, was a deceiver:
Na Iharaira nei hoki taua kuao na, he mea hanga na te kaimahi; na ehara ia i te Atua: ae ra, ka pakaru rikiriki te kuao o Hamaria.
7 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.
Na, ko ta ratou i whakato ai ko te hau, ko ta ratou e kokoti ai ko te paroro: kahore ona witi e tupu ana: e kore te kopuku e whai paraoa: ki te whai paraoa, ka horomia e nga tautangata.
8 Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations as a worthless vessel.
Kua horomia a Iharaira: kua rite ratou inaianei i roto i nga tauiwi ki te oko kihai i manakohia.
9 For they have gone up to the Assyrians: Ephraim has been strengthened against himself; they loved gifts.
Kua riro hoki ratou ki Ahiria, ano he kaihe mohoao, he moke, ko ia anake: kua utua e Eparaima etahi hei whaiaipo.
10 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.
Ae ra, ahakoa utu noa ratou i roto i nga iwi, ka kohikohia ano ratou e ahau ianei; a ka timata ratou te iti haere, i te pikaunga a te kingi o nga rangatira.
11 Because Ephraim has multiplied altars, [his] beloved altars are become sins to him.
Kua maha nei nga aata a Eparaima hei mea hara, na ka waiho nga aata hei hara mona.
12 I will write down a multitude [of commands] for him; but his statutes are accounted strange things, [even] the beloved altars.
Ahakoa tuhituhia e ahau mana taku ture kia tekau mano nga tikanga, kei te kiia aua mea he mea rere ke.
13 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.
Na ko nga patunga tapu hei whakahere ki ahau, e patu kikokiko ana ratou, kainga iho; otiia kahore e manakohia ana e Ihowa; akuanei ia mahara ai ki to ratou he, whiu ai i o ratou hara: ka hoki ratou ki Ihipa.
14 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.
Kua wareware hoki a Iharaira ki tona kaihanga, a kei te hanga temepara; kua meinga e Hura kia maha nga pa taiepa: otiia ka tukua atu e ahau he ahi ki runga ki ona pa, a ka kainga e tera ona whare kingi.
