Hosea 9

1 MAI hauoli, e ka Iseraela, me ka olioli, e like me na lahuikanaka; No ka mea, ua hele moe kolohe aku oe mai kou Akua aku, Ua makemake aku oe i na makana ma na kahua hehi palaoa a pau.

Rejoice not, O Israel, neither make merry, as [other] nations: for thou hast gone a-whoring from thy God; thou hast loved gifts upon every threshing-floor.

2 O ke kahua, a me kahi kaomi waina, aole e hanai laua ia lakou, A e pau auanei ka waina hou iloko ona.

The threshing-floor and wine-press knew them not, and the wine disappointed them.

3 Aole lakou e noho ma ka aina o Iehova; Aka, e hoi hou o Eperaima i Aigupita; A e ai lakou i na mea haumia ma Asuria.

They dwelt not in the Lord's land: Ephraim dwelt in Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things among the Assyrians.

4 Aole lakou e kaumaha aku i ka waina ia Iehova, Aole ia e oluolu mai ia mau mea. O ka lakou mau mohai, e like auanei ia lakou me ka berena o ka poe e kanikau ana: O ka poe a pau e ai iho ia mea e haumia lakou; No ka mea, o ka lakou berena no ko lakou ola, aole e laweia oia iloko o ka hale o Iehova.

They have not offered wine to the Lord, neither have their sacrifices been sweet to him, [but] as the bread of mourning to them; all that eat them shall be defiled; for their bread for their soul shall not enter into the house of the Lord.

5 Heaha la uanei ka oukou e hana'i i ka la ahaaina, A i ka la ahaaina a Iehova?

What will ye do in the day of the general assembly, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?

6 No ka mea, aia hoi, ua hele aku lakou mai ka luku aku: E hoakoakoa o Aigupita ia lakou, E kanu aku no o Memepi ia lakou. A o na wahi maikai i kuaiia no ko lakou kala e paapu ia i ka puakala; A maloko o ko lakou mau halelewa e kupu ka laau ooi.

Therefore, behold, they go forth from the trouble of Egypt, and Memphis shall receive them, and Machmas shall bury them: [as for] their silver, destruction shall inherit it; thorns [shall be] in their tents.

7 Ua hiki mai na la o ka hoopai ana, Ua hiki mai na la o ka uku ana; E ike auanei ka Iseraela: Ua naaupo ke kaula, a ua hehena ke kanaka kilokilo uhane, no ka hoonuiia o kou hewa, a me ka nui o ka inaina.

The days of vengeance are come, the days of thy recompense are come; and Israel shall be afflicted as the prophet that is mad, as a man deranged: by reason of the multitude of thine iniquities thy madness has abounded.

8 E kali ana o Eperaima i ke kokua, mai ko'u Akua mai: O ke kaula, he punihei ia o ka mea punihei manu ma kona aoao a pau, A he mea inaina ma ka hale o ke Akua.

The watchman of Ephraim [was] with God: the prophet is a crooked snare in all his ways: they have established madness in the house of God.

9 Ua hana hewa nui lakou e like me na la o Gibea: Nolaila, e hoomanao mai ia i ko lakou hala, A e hoopai mai hoi i ko lakou mau hewa.

They have corrupted themselves according to the days of the hill: he will remember their iniquities, he will take vengeance on their sins.

10 Ua loaa ia'u ka Iseraela e like me na hua waina ma ka waonahele; Ua ike au i ko oukou poe kupuna, e like me ka hua mua ma ka laau fiku i kona hua mua ana; Aka, hele aku la lakou ia Baala-peora, a hookaawale ia lakou iho no ka mea hilahila: A o na mea hoowahawahaia, ua like me ko lakou makemake.

I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness, and I saw their fathers as an early watchman in a fig-tree: they went in to Beel-phegor, and were shamefully estranged, and the abominable became as the beloved.

11 A no ka Eperaima, e lele aku auanei ko lakou nani me he manu la, mai ka hanau ana mai, mai ka opu mai, a mai ka hapai ana mai.

Ephraim has flown away as a bird; their glories from the birth, and the travail, and the conception.

12 Ina paha e hanai lakou i na keiki a lakou, E hoonele aku au ia lakou mawaena aku o kanaka: A he poino ko lakou i ka wa a'u e haalele ai ia lakou!

For even if they should rear their children, yet shall they be utterly bereaved: wherefore also there is woe to them, [though] my flesh is of them.

13 O Eperaima, e like me ko'u ike ana ma Turo, ua kanuia oia ma kahi maikai: Aka, e alakai aku o Eperaima i kaua poe keiki no ka mea pepehi.

Ephraim, [even] as I saw, gave their children for a prey; yea, Ephraim [was ready] to bring out his children to slaughter.

14 E Iehova, e haawi aku oe ia lakou i ka mea au e haawi aku ai; E haawi aku ia lakou i ka opu hanau hapa wale, a me na u maloo.

Give them, O Lord: what wilt thou give them? a miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.

15 O ko lakou hewa a pau, aia ma Gilegala; No ka mea, malaila au i inaina aku ai ia lakou: No ka hewa o ka lakou hana ana e kipaku aku ai au ia lakou mai ko'u hale aku, Aole au e aloha hou aku ia lakou, A o ko lakou mau alii, he poe kipi lakou!

All their wickedness is in Galgal: for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their practices, I will cast them out of my house, I will not love them any more: all their princes are disobedient.

16 Ua hahauia o Eperaima, Ua maloo ko lakou aa; Aole lakou e hua mai ka hua; A ina e hanau mai lakou, E pepehi no au i na mea aloha o ko lakou opu.

Ephraim is sick, he is dried up at his roots, he shall in no wise any more bear fruit: wherefore even if they should beget [children], I will kill the desired [fruit] of their womb.

17 E kipaku auanei kuu Akua ia lakou, No ka mea, aole lakou i hoolohe ia ia; A e lilo lakou i poe aea mawaena o na lahuikanaka.

God shall reject them, because they have not hearkened to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
