Hosea 7

1 I KA wa a'u e hoihoi aku ai i ke pio ana o kuu poe kanaka, I kuu hoola ana i ka Iseraela, alaila hoikeia mai ka hewa o Eperaima, A me na mea ino o ko Samaria: No ka mea, ua hana lakou i ka wahahee; A komo mai ka aihue maloko, A hao wale ka poe powa mawaho.

When I would have healed Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria, for they have committed falsehood, and the thief is come in to steal, the robber is without.

2 Aole noonoo ko lakou naau i kuu hoomanao ana i ko lakou hewa a pau: Ano, ua hoopuni ka lakou mau hana ia lakou; Eia no lakou imua o ko'u maka.

And lest they may say in their hearts, that I remember all their wickedness: their own devices now have beset them about, they have been done before my face.

3 Ma ko lakou hewa hoolealea aku lakou i ke alii, A i na haku hoi ma ko lakou mau hoopunipuni.

They have made the king glad with their wickedness: and the princes with their lies.

4 He poe moe kolohe lakou a pau, e like me ka umu i hoenaenaia e ka mea pulehu palaoa, Hoopanee oia i ka pulehu ana, mahope o ke kawili ana i ka palaoa a hiki i ka wa e hu ai.

They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by the baker: the city rested a little from the mingling of the leaven, till the whole was leavened.

5 A i ka la o ko kakou alii loohia iho na haku e ka mai i ka wela o ka waina, A o aku la oia i kona lima me ka poe haakei.

The day of our king, the princes began to be mad with wine: he stretched out his hand with scorners.

6 No ka mea, ua hoomakaukau lakou i ko lakou naau, e like me ka umu ma ko lakou hoohalua ana: Ua hiamoe ko lakou mau mea peluhu palaoa, a ao ka po: A i kakahiaka, ua wela ia mea e like me ke ahi lapalapa.

Because they have applied their heart like an oven, when he laid snares for them: he slept all the night baking them, in the morning he himself was heated as a flaming fire.

7 Ua wela lakou a pau e like me ka umu, Ua ai lakou i ko lakou mau lunakanawai; Ua haule ko lakou poe alii a pau: Aohe mea e kahea mai ia'u iwaena o lakou.

They were all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings have fallen: there is none amongst them that calleth unto me.

8 O Eperaima, ua hui pu ia me na kanaka e: O Eperaima, he popo palaoa no ia, aole i huliia.

Ephraim himself is mixed among the nations: Ephraim is become as bread baked under the ashes, that is not turned.

9 Ua ai na malihini i kona ikaika, aole nae ia i ike: Ua kau mai no hoi ke oho hina maluna ona, aole nae ia i ike.

Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knew it not: yea, grey hairs also are spread about upon him, and he is ignorant of it.

10 Ke hoike mai nei ka haaheo o ka Iseraela ma kona maka: Aole lakou e hoi hou ia Iehova i ko lakou Akua, Aole imi aku ia ia no keia mea a pau.

And the pride of Israel shall be humbled before his face: and they have not returned to the Lord their God, nor have they sought him in all these.

11 Ua like hoi o Eperaima me he manu nunu la i hawawa aohe ona manao: Kahea aku lakou i ko Aigupita, A hele lakou i ko Asuria.

And Ephraim is become as a dove that is decoyed, not having a heart: they called upon Egypt, they went to the Assyrians.

12 A i ka wa e hele ai lakou, e hohola aku au i ka'u upena maluna o lakou; A e lawe mai au ia lakou ilalo, e like me na manu o ka lewa; A e hahau aku au ia lakou, e like me ka mea a ko lakou ahakanaka i lohe ai.

And when they shall go, I will spread my net upon them: I will bring them down as the fowl of the air, I will strike them as their congregation hath heard.

13 E auwe lakou! no ka mea, ua auwana lakou mai o'u aku la: O ka make ko lakou! no ka mea, ua kipi mai lakou ia'u: Owau ka i hoola ia lakou, A o lakou ka i olelo wahahee mai ia'u.

Woe to them, for they have departed from me: they shall be wasted because they have transgressed against me: and I redeemed them: and they have spoken lies against me.

14 Aole lakou i auwe mai ia'u me ko lakou naau, i ka wa a lakou i auwe ai maluna o ko lakou wahi moe: Ua hoakoakoa lakou ia lakou iho no ka ai, a no ka waina hou, a ua kipi mai lakou ia'u.

And they have not cried to me with their heart, but they howled in their beds: they have thought upon wheat and wine, they are departed from me.

15 Ia'u i ao ai ia lakou, a hooikaika aku ai i ko lakou mau lima, Aka, ke manao hewa mai nei lakou ia'u.

And I have chastised them, and strengthened their arms: and they have imagined evil against me.

16 Ua hoi hou lakou, aole nae i ka Mea kiekie loa; Ua like lakou me he kakaka hewa la: E haule na'lii o lakou me ka pahikaua, no ka hookano o ko lakou alelo: O keia ko lakou hoino ma ka aina o Aigupita.

They returned, that they might be without yoke: they became like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongue. This is their derision in the land of Egypt.
