Hosea 4

1Hear the word of the LORD, O children of Israel, for the LORD has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land. There is no faithfulness or steadfast love, and no knowledge of God in the land;
1FANONGO ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: He ʻoku ai ʻae fakakikihi ʻa Sihova mo e kakai ʻoe fonua ni, “Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha moʻoni, pe ha ʻaloʻofa, pe ha ʻilo ki he ʻOtua ʻi he fonua.
2there is swearing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed.
2Ko e kape, mo e loi, mo e fakapō, mo e feʻauaki, ʻoku hā mai mei ai, pea ʻoku ala ʻae toto ki he toto.
3Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it languish, and also the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens, and even the fish of the sea are taken away.
3Ko ia, ʻe tangi ʻae fonua, pea ko ia taki taha ʻoku nofo ai ʻe feinga, fakataha mo e fanga manu ʻoe vao, pea mo e fanga manupuna ʻoe ata; ʻio, naʻa mo e ika ʻoe tahi ʻe ʻave mei ai.
4Yet let no one contend, and let none accuse, for with you is my contention, O priest.
4“Kae ʻoua naʻa fakakikihi mo valoki ʻe ha tangata ha taha kehe: he ko hoʻo kakai ʻoku hangē ko kinautolu ʻoku fakakikihi mo e taulaʻeiki.
5You shall stumble by day; the prophet also shall stumble with you by night; and I will destroy your mother.
5Ko ia te ke hinga ʻi he kei ʻaho; pea mo e palōfita, te ne tō foki mo koe ʻi he pō, pea te u fakaʻauha hoʻo faʻē.
6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
6‌ʻOku ʻauha hoku kakai ʻi he masiva ʻilo: koeʻuhi kuo ke liʻaki ʻae ʻilo, te u liʻaki foki koe, ke ʻoua naʻa ke taulaʻeiki kiate au; ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo fakangaloʻi ʻae fono ʻa ho ʻOtua, te u fakangaloʻi foki hoʻo fānau.
7The more they increased, the more they sinned against me; I will change their glory into shame.
7‌ʻI henau tupu naʻa nau fai angahala kiate au: ko ia teu liliu ʻenau ongoongolelei ko e mā.
8They feed on the sin of my people; they are greedy for their iniquity.
8‌ʻOku nau kai hake ʻae angahala ʻa hoku kakai, pea ʻoku nau tukupau honau loto ki heʻenau angakovi.
9And it shall be like people, like priest; I will punish them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.
9Pea ʻe pehē ʻi ai, hangē ko e kakai, ʻe pehē ʻae taulaʻeiki: pea te u tautea ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko honau ngaahi hala, pea totongi kiate kinautolu ʻenau ngaahi faianga.
10They shall eat, but not be satisfied; they shall play the whore, but not multiply, because they have forsaken the LORD to cherish
10He te nau kai ka ʻe ʻikai mākona, te nau feʻauaki ka ʻe ʻikai tupu: koeʻuhi kuo nau tuku ʻenau tokanga kia Sihova.
11whoredom, wine, and new wine, which take away the understanding.
11Ko e feʻauaki mo e uaine mo e uaine foʻou, ʻoku kavea ʻae loto.
12My people inquire of a piece of wood, and their walking staff gives them oracles. For a spirit of whoredom has led them astray, and they have left their God to play the whore.
12“ʻOku fehuʻi ʻe hoku kakai ki heʻenau fuʻu ʻakau, pea ko honau tokotoko ʻoku fakahā ia kiate kinautolu: he ko e laumālie ʻoe feʻauaki kuo ne fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu, pea kuo nau ʻalu ʻo feʻauaki mei honau ʻOtua.
13They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains and burn offerings on the hills, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the whore, and your brides commit adultery.
13‌ʻOku nau feilaulau ʻi he funga ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, pea tutu ʻae ʻakau namu lelei ʻi he ngaahi māʻolunga, ʻi he lalo ʻoke mo e popila mo e elemi, koeʻuhi ʻoku lelei hono malu ʻo ia: ko ia ʻe feʻauaki ho ngaahi ʻofefine, pea ʻe tono tangata homou ngaahi ʻunoho.
14I will not punish your daughters when they play the whore, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for the men themselves go aside with prostitutes and sacrifice with cult prostitutes, and a people without understanding shall come to ruin.
14‌ʻIkai te u tautea homou ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi heʻenau feʻauaki, mo homou ngaahi ʻunoho ʻi heʻenau tono tangata? He ʻoku nau kau taha mo e kau fefine feʻauaki, pea ʻoku nau feilaulau mo e kau feʻauaki: ko ia, ʻE hinga ki lalo ʻae kakai ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha poto.
15Though you play the whore, O Israel, let not Judah become guilty. Enter not into Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-aven, and swear not, “As the LORD lives.”
15“Neongo ʻe ʻIsileli ʻa hoʻo fai ʻae feʻauaki, kaeʻoua naʻa hala ai mo Siuta; pea ʻoua naʻa ke haʻu ki Kilikali, pe ʻalu hake ki Peteaveni, pe fuakava, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova.’
16Like a stubborn heifer, Israel is stubborn; can the LORD now feed them like a lamb in a broad pasture?
16He ʻoku fakaholomui ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko e pulu mui ʻoku fakaholomui: ko eni, ʻe fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e lami ʻi he potu ʻataʻatā.
17Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone.
17Kuo pikitai ʻa ʻIfalemi ki heʻene ngaahi tamapua: tuku ai pe ia.
18When their drink is gone, they give themselves to whoring; their rulers dearly love shame.
18Kuo nau muimui ki he inu kona: kuo nau fai maʻuaipē ʻae feʻauaki: ko honau kau pule ʻoku manako ki he fakamā.
19A wind has wrapped them in its wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
19Kuo tākai hake ia ʻe he matangi ʻi hono kapakau, pea te nau mā ʻi heʻenau ngaahi feilaulau.
