Hosea 8

Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.

Meinga te tetere ki tou mangai. Ka rite ia ki te ekara, ina whakaekea e ia te whare o Ihowa; mo ratou i whakataka i taku kawenata, i takahi i taku ture.

Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.

Tera ratou e karanga ki ahau, E toku Atua, e mohio ana matou, a Iharaira, ki a koe.

Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.

Kua akiritia e Iharaira te mea pai: ka whaia ia e te hoariri.

They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.

Ko ta ratou whakarite kingi ehara i te mea naku, ko ta ratou whakarite rangatira ehara i te mea i mohiotia e ahau: kua hanga e ratou ta ratou hiriwa, ko ta ratou koura hei whakapakoko ma ratou, he mea e hatepea ai ratou.

Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?

Kua akiritia e ia tau kuao kau, e Hamaria: kua mura toku riri ki a ratou: kia pehea ake te roa ka tae ai ratou ki te harakore?

For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

Na Iharaira nei hoki taua kuao na, he mea hanga na te kaimahi; na ehara ia i te Atua: ae ra, ka pakaru rikiriki te kuao o Hamaria.

For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.

Na, ko ta ratou i whakato ai ko te hau, ko ta ratou e kokoti ai ko te paroro: kahore ona witi e tupu ana: e kore te kopuku e whai paraoa: ki te whai paraoa, ka horomia e nga tautangata.

Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.

Kua horomia a Iharaira: kua rite ratou inaianei i roto i nga tauiwi ki te oko kihai i manakohia.

For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

Kua riro hoki ratou ki Ahiria, ano he kaihe mohoao, he moke, ko ia anake: kua utua e Eparaima etahi hei whaiaipo.

Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.

Ae ra, ahakoa utu noa ratou i roto i nga iwi, ka kohikohia ano ratou e ahau ianei; a ka timata ratou te iti haere, i te pikaunga a te kingi o nga rangatira.

Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.

Kua maha nei nga aata a Eparaima hei mea hara, na ka waiho nga aata hei hara mona.

I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.

Ahakoa tuhituhia e ahau mana taku ture kia tekau mano nga tikanga, kei te kiia aua mea he mea rere ke.

They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.

Na ko nga patunga tapu hei whakahere ki ahau, e patu kikokiko ana ratou, kainga iho; otiia kahore e manakohia ana e Ihowa; akuanei ia mahara ai ki to ratou he, whiu ai i o ratou hara: ka hoki ratou ki Ihipa.

For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.

Kua wareware hoki a Iharaira ki tona kaihanga, a kei te hanga temepara; kua meinga e Hura kia maha nga pa taiepa: otiia ka tukua atu e ahau he ahi ki runga ki ona pa, a ka kainga e tera ona whare kingi.
