Hosea 9

1Rejoice not, O Israel! Exult not like the peoples; for you have played the whore, forsaking your God. You have loved a prostitute’s wages on all threshing floors.
1‌ʻOUA naʻa ke nekeneka, ʻe ʻIsileli, ʻi he fiefia, hangē ko e kakai kehe: he kuo ke ʻalu ʻo feʻauaki mei ho ʻOtua, kuo ke manako ʻae totongi ʻi he hahaʻanga koane kotoa pē.
2Threshing floor and wine vat shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail them.
2Ko e hahaʻanga, mo e tataʻoʻanga uaine ʻe ʻikai fafanga ai ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻae uaine foʻou.
3They shall not remain in the land of the LORD, but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
3‌ʻE ʻikai te nau nofo ʻi he fonua ʻo Sihova; ka ʻe tafoki ʻa ʻIfalemi ki ʻIsipite, pea te nau kai ʻae meʻa taʻemaʻa ʻi ʻAsilia.
4They shall not pour drink offerings of wine to the LORD, and their sacrifices shall not please him. It shall be like mourners’ bread to them; all who eat of it shall be defiled; for their bread shall be for their hunger only; it shall not come to the house of the LORD.
4‌ʻE ʻikai te nau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae uaine kia Sihova, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fiemālie ai: ko ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau ʻe hangē ko e mā ʻae kau tangilāulau kiate kinautolu; ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kai ai te nau ʻuli ai: he ko e mā maʻa honau laumālie, ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
5What will you do on the day of the appointed festival, and on the day of the feast of the LORD?
5Ko e hā te mou fai ʻi he ʻaho mamafa, pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe kātoanga ʻa Sihova?
6For behold, they are going away from destruction; but Egypt shall gather them; Memphis shall bury them. Nettles shall possess their precious things of silver; thorns shall be in their tents.
6He, vakai, kuo nau ʻalu koeʻuhi ko e fakaʻauha: ʻe tānaki ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻIsipite, ʻe tanu ʻakinautolu ʻe Memifisi: ko e ngaahi potu lelei ki heʻenau siliva, ʻe maʻu ia ʻe he hongohongo: ʻe ʻi honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻae ʻakau talatala.
7The days of punishment have come; the days of recompense have come; Israel shall know it. The prophet is a fool; the man of the spirit is mad, because of your great iniquity and great hatred.
7Ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ʻaʻahi kuo hoko, ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe totongi kuo hoko; ʻe ʻilo ia ʻe ʻIsileli, ‘Ko e palōfita ko e vale ia,’ ʻoku faha ʻae tangata fakalaumālie, ko e meʻa ʻi he lahi ʻo hoʻo hia, mo e fehiʻa lahi.
8The prophet is the watchman of Ephraim with my God; yet a fowler’s snare is on all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.
8Ko e tangata leʻo ʻo ʻIfalemi naʻe ʻi hoku ʻOtua: ka ko e palōfita ko e tauhele ʻae tangata tauhele manu ʻi hono hala kotoa pē, mo e fehiʻanekina ʻi he fale ʻo hono ʻOtua.
9They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah: he will remember their iniquity; he will punish their sins.
9Kuo nau fakaʻuliʻi lahi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Kipea: ko ia te ne manatu ʻenau hia, te ne ʻaʻahi ki heʻenau angahala.
10Like grapes in the wilderness, I found Israel. Like the first fruit on the fig tree in its first season, I saw your fathers. But they came to Baal-peor and consecrated themselves to the thing of shame, and became detestable like the thing they loved.
10Ne u ʻilo ʻa ʻIsileli hangē ko e kālepi ʻi he toafa; ne u mamata ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai, hangē ko e tomuʻa momoho ʻi he ʻakau ko e fiki ʻi hono ʻuluaki toʻukai: ka ne nau ʻalu ki Peali-Peoli, pea mavahe ʻakinautolu ke nau mā; pea ko ʻenau ngaahi fakalielia naʻe tatau mo ʻenau manako.
11Ephraim’s glory shall fly away like a bird— no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
11Ka ko ʻIfalemi, ʻe puna atu hono nāunau hangē ko e manupuna, mei he fāʻele, mo e manāva, pea mei he tuituʻia.
12Even if they bring up children, I will bereave them till none is left. Woe to them when I depart from them!
12Neongo ʻoku nau tauhi ʻenau fānau, ka te u fakamasiva ʻakinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa toe ha tangata: ʻio, malaʻia foki kiate kinautolu ʻo kau ka mahuʻi meiate kinautolu!
13Ephraim, as I have seen, was like a young palm planted in a meadow; but Ephraim must lead his children out to slaughter.
13‌ʻOku tō ʻa ʻIfalemi ʻi he potu lelei, hangē naʻaku mamata ki Taia; ka ʻe fanauʻi ʻe ʻIfalemi ʻa ʻene fānau ki he fakapō.
14Give them, O LORD— what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
14Foaki kiate kinautolu, ʻe Sihova: ko e hā te ke foaki? Foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae manāva tōtama mo e huhu maha.
15Every evil of theirs is in Gilgal; there I began to hate them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more; all their princes are rebels.
15“Ko ʻenau angakovi kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi Kilikali: he naʻe ʻi ai ʻeku fehiʻa kiate kinautolu: koeʻuhi ko e kovi ʻo ʻenau faianga, te u kapusi ʻakinautolu mei hoku fale, ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻofa kiate kinautolu: ko e kau angatuʻu ʻa honau houʻeiki kotoa pē.
16Ephraim is stricken; their root is dried up; they shall bear no fruit. Even though they give birth, I will put their beloved children to death.
16Kuo taaʻi ʻa ʻIfalemi, kuo mōmoa honau aka, ʻe ʻikai te nau fua: ʻio, neongo ʻoku nau fānau, ka te u tāmateʻi ʻae ʻofeina ʻa honau manāva.”
17My God will reject them because they have not listened to him; they shall be wanderers among the nations.
17Ko hoku ʻOtua te ne liʻaki ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo kiate ia: pea te nau hoko ko e kau ʻāuhē ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga.
