Hosea 13

When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.

I te korerotanga a Eparaima, tera te tuiri; i whakanui ake ia i a ia i roto i a Iharaira: engari, kei tona henga i roto i a Paara, ka mate ia.

And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.

Na inaianei kua neke ake to ratou hara, kua hanga e ratou ta ratou hiriwa hei whakapakoko whakarewa ma ratou, hei whakapakoko e rite ana ki ta ratou i matau ai, a ko taua mea katoa he mahi na nga kaimahi: e korerotia ana aua mea e ratou, Me kihi e nga tangata e mea patunga tapu ana, nga kuao kau.

Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.

Mo reira ka rite ratou ki te kapua o te ata, ki te tomairangi hoki e ngaro wawe atu nei, ki te papapa hoki e aia atu ana e te paroro i te patunga witi, a ki te paowa hoki o te tumere.

Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.

Ko Ihowa ano ia ahau, ko tou Atua, o te whenua mai ra ano o Ihipa; kaua ano koe e mohio ki tetahi atua, ko ahau anake, kahore atu hoki he kaiwhakaora, ko ahau anake.

I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.

I mohiotia tonutia koe e ahau i te koraha, i te whenua kahore rawa nei he wai.

According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.

Ko to ratou makonatanga rite tonu ki te wahi i kai ai ratou; i makona ratou, a whakakake ana o ratou ngakau; na wareware tonu iho ki ahau.

Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:

Na, ko taku ki a ratou, ka rite ki te raiona: ka tiaki ahau i te ara ano he reparo:

I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.

Ko toku tutakitanga ki a ratou ka rite ki to te pea kua tangohia nei ana kuao, ka haea hoki e ahau te taupa o o ratou ngakau; a hei reira ka kainga ratou e ahau ki te kai a te raiona; ka haehaea ratou e te kirehe o te parae.

O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.

Ko tou whakangaromanga ia, e Iharaira, he hoariri koe ki ahau, ki tou kaiawhina.

I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?

Kei hea inaianei tou kingi, hei whakaora i a koe i roto i ou pa katoa? ou kaiwhakawa hoki, era i ki ra koe, Homai he kingi me etahi rangatira ki ahau?

I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.

Kua hoatu e ahau he kingi ki a koe i ahau e riri ana, a kua tangohia atu ia e ahau i ahau e aritarita ana.

The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.

Ko te he o Eparaima, takai rawa; ko tona hara, rongoa rawa.

The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.

Ka pa ki a ia nga mamae o te wahine e whakamamae ana: he tamaiti whakaarokore ia; he wa hoki tenei kia kaua ia e whakaroa ki te wahi e pakaru mai ai nga tamariki.

I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.

Ka hokona ratou e ahau ki te kaha o te reinga, ka utua e ahau kei mate. E te mate, kei hea ou mate uruta? E te urupa, kei hea tau whakangaro? ka huna atu te ripeneta i oku kanohi.

Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.

Ahakoa whai hua ia i roto i ona teina, ka puta mai te hau, he marangai, ko te manawa o Ihowa e pa mai ana i te koraha, a ka maroke tona matapuna, ka mimiti tona manawawhenua: ka pahuatia e ia nga taonga o nga oko katoa e matenuitia ana.

Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.

Ka whakawaha e Hamaria tona hara; kua whakakeke hoki ia ki tona Atua: ka hinga ratou i te hoari; ka taia iho a ratou tamariki, mongamonga ana, ka haehaea hoki a ratou wahine e hapu ana.
