1 ¶ Set the shofar to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD because they have transgressed my covenant and rebelled 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.

2 I srael shall cry unto me, My God, we have known thee.

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

3 I srael has cast off the good; the enemy shall pursue him.

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

4 T hey have reigned, but not by me; they have made dominion, and I knew it not; of their silver and their gold they have made themselves 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.

5 T hy calf, O Samaria, has cast thee off; my anger has been kindled against them until they could no longer be absolved.

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?

6 F or it is of Israel; and a workman made it who is not God: because 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.

7 F or they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind; they shall have no harvest; the fruit shall yield no meal: if so be it yields, 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.

8 ¶ Israel shall be swallowed up; soon they shall be among the Gentiles as a vessel in which there is no pleasure.

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

9 F or they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass thinking only of himself; Ephraim has hired lovers.

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

10 E ven though they hire the Gentiles, now I will gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king and of the 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.

11 B ecause Ephraim has multiplied altars for sin, the altars shall be a sin unto him.

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

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

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

13 I n the sacrifices of my gifts they sacrificed flesh and ate; but the LORD does not accept them; now he will 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.

14 F or Israel has forgotten his Maker and has built temples; and Judah has 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.
