Hosea 10
1 O KA Iseraela, he kumu waina, i ulu palahalaha, e hua ana i ka hua nona iho; E like me ka nui o kona hua, pela no ia i hoomahuahua ai i na kuahu; E like me ka maikai o kona aina, pela no ia i hoonani ai i na kii.
Israel is a vine with goodly branches, her fruit is abundant: according to the multitude of her fruits she has multiplied [her] altars; according to the wealth of his land, he has set up pillars.
2 Ua kanalua ko lakou naau; Ano e hoopaiia lakou; E hoohiolo no ia i ko lakou kuahu, E hoopau no ia i ko lakou mau kii.
They have divided their hearts; now shall they be utterly destroyed: he shall dig down their altars, their pillars shall mourn.
3 Ano hoi, e olelo auanei lakou, Aohe o kakou alii, No ka mea, aole o kakou i makau aku ia Iehova; Heaha ka mea a ke alii e hana mai ai no kakou?
Because now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the Lord:
4 Ua olelo lakou i na olelo hoohiki wahahee i ka hana ana i ka berita; A ua ulu mai ka hoahewa e like me ka laau make ma na auwaha o ke kula.
and what should a king do for us, speaking false professions [as his] words? he will make a covenant: judgment shall spring up as a weed on the soil of the field.
5 E makau auanei na kanaka o Samaria no na keikibipi o Betavena: No ka mea, e auwe auanei kona poe kanaka no ia mea; A e haalulu na kahuna no kona nani, No ka mea, ua nalowale ia.
The inhabitants of Samaria shall dwell near the calf of the house of On; for the people of it mourned for it: and as they provoked him, they shall rejoice at his glory, because he has departed from them.
6 A e laweia'ku hoi ia i Asuria i makana no ke alii no ka enemi: A e kau mai ka hilahila ia Eperaima, A e hilahila hoi ka Iseraela no kona manao iho.
And having bound it for the Assyrians, they carried it away as presents to king Jarim: Ephraim shall receive a gift, and Israel shall be ashamed of his counsel.
7 A o Samaria, ua okiia'ku kona alii, e like me ka hua maluna o ka wai.
Samaria has cast off her king as a twig on the surface of the water.
8 A e hoopauia na heiau o Avena, ka hewa o ka Iseraela: E kupu mai auanei ka laau kuku a me ka puakala maluna o ko lakou mau kuahu; A e olelo aku lakou i na mauna, E uhi mai ia makou; A i na puu, E hiolo mai maluna o makou.
And the altars of On, the sins of Israel, shall be taken away: thorns and thistles shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
9 E ka Iseraela, ua hana hewa oe mai na la o Gibea mai; Ilaila lakou i ku ai: A o ke kaua ana ma Gibea i na keiki hewa, aole anei ia e hiki aku io lakou la?
From the time the hills [existed] Israel has sinned: there they stood: war [waged] against the children of iniquity
10 Eia ko'u manao, e hahau aku ia lakou; A e akoakoa mai na kanaka e ku e ia lakou, I kuu hoopaa ana ia lakou, no ko lakou mau hewa elua.
to chastise them shall not overtake them on the hill, the nations shall be gathered against them, when they are chastened for their two sins,
11 A o Eperaima, ua like ia me ka bipi wahine opiopio i laka, a makemake hoi e hehi i ka palaoa: Aka, e hele aku no au maluna o kona a-i maikai: E hooholo au ia Eperaima; A e hana o Iuda me ka oopalau, A na Iakoba e kuikui i puupuu lepo nona.
Ephraim is a heifer taught to love victory, but I will come upon the fairest part of her neck: I will mount Ephraim; I will pass over Juda in silence; Jacob shall prevail against him.
12 E lulu oukou no oukou iho, ma ka pono, E ohi oukou ma ka lokomaikai; E waele i ko oukou mahinaai; No ka mea, he manawa keia e imi ia Iehova, A hiki mai ia, a ao aku i ka pono ia oukou.
Sow to yourselves for righteousness, gather in for the fruit of life: light ye for yourselves the light of knowledge; seek the Lord till the fruits of righteousness come upon you.
13 Ua mahi oukou ma ka pono ole, a ua ohi oukou i ka hewa; A e ai oukou i ka hua o ka wahahee: No ka mea, ua hilinai oe ma kou aoao iho, A i ka lehulehu o kou poe ikaika.
Wherefore have ye passed over ungodliness in silence, and reaped the sins of it? ye have eaten false fruit; for thou has trusted in thy sins, in the abundance of thy power.
14 Nolaila, e kupu mai auanei ka haunaele iwaena o kou poe kanaka, A e hoohioloia kou mau wahi paa a pau loa, E like me Salemana i hoohiolo ai ia Betarebela i ka la o ke kaua; I ulupaia'i ka makuwahine me kana mau keiki.
Therefore shall destruction rise up among thy people, and all thy strong places shall be ruined: as a prince Solomon [departed] out of the house of Jeroboam, in the days of battle they dashed the mother to the ground upon the children,
15 Pela oia e hana mai ai ia oukou, ma Betela, no ko oukou hewa nui: I kakahiaka e oki loa ia'ku ke alii o ka Iseraela.
thus will I do to you, O house of Israel, because of the unrighteousness of your sins.
