1 W hen I would heal Israel, The iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, And the evil deeds of Samaria, For they deal falsely; The thief enters in, Bandits raid outside,

I ahau e mea ana ki te rongoa i a Iharaira, ka kitea te he o Eparaima, te kino hoki o Hamaria: no te mea e mahi ana ratou i te teka, e tomo ana hoki te tahae ki roto, e pahua ana te taua i waho.

2 A nd they do not consider in their hearts That I remember all their wickedness. Now their deeds are all around them; They are before My face.

A kahore a ratou meatanga ake i roto i o ratou ngakau, kei te mahara tenei ahau ki to ratou kino katoa: kua karapotia ratou inaianei e a ratou mahi; tenei ano kei toku aroaro.

3 W ith their wickedness they make the king glad, And the princes with their lies.

Ka meinga e ratou te kingi kia koa ki ta ratou kino, nga rangatira hoki ki a ratou teka.

4 T hey are all adulterers, Like an oven heated by the baker Who ceases to stir up the fire From the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.

He hunga puremu katoa ratou; ko to ratou rite kei te oumu kua oti te tahu e te kaipokepoke; ka mutu tana tutaki i te ahi, i muri iho i te pokepokenga i te paraoa a kia rewenatia ra ano.

5 O n the day of our king, the princes became sick with the heat of wine; He stretched out his hand with scoffers,

I te ra o to tatou kingi i mate nga rangatira i a ratou ano, na te tahu a te waina; ko tona ringa maro tonu i roto i te hunga taunu.

6 F or their hearts are like an oven As they approach their plotting; Their anger smolders all night, In the morning it burns like a flaming fire.

Ano he oumu o ratou ngakau, i a ratou e whakatata ana, e whanga ana: pau ake te po i ta ratou kaipokepoke e moe ana; i te ata ka tonu taua oumu, ano he mura ahi.

7 A ll of them are hot like an oven, And they consume their rulers; All their kings have fallen. None of them calls on Me.

Werawera katoa ratou me he oumu, pau ake i a ratou o ratou kaiwhakawa; kua hinga katoa o ratou kingi: kahore tetahi o ratou e karanga ana ki ahau.

8 E phraim mixes himself with the nations; Ephraim has become a cake not turned.

Ko Eparaima, kei te hanumi ia ki roto ki nga iwi; he keke a Eparaima kihai i hurihia.

9 S trangers devour his strength, Yet he does not know it; Gray hairs also are sprinkled on him, Yet he does not know it.

Kua pau tona kaha i nga tautangata, heoi kahore ia e mohio: ina, kua wero te hina i konei, i ko ona, a kahore ia e mohio.

10 T hough the pride of Israel testifies against him, Yet they have not returned to the Lord their God, Nor have they sought Him, for all this.

Ko te whakapehapeha o Iharaira e whakaatu ana ki tona aroaro: heoi kihai ratou i hoki ki a Ihowa, ki to ratou Atua, a ahakoa ko tenei katoa, kahore ratou i rapu i a ia.

11 S o Ephraim has become like a silly dove, without sense; They call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

E rite ana hoki a Eparima ki te kukupa wairangi, kahore nei ona ngakau: e karanga ana ratou ki Ihipa, e haere ana ratou ki Ahiria.

12 W hen they go, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will chastise them in accordance with the proclamation to their assembly.

Ka haere ratou, ka potaea e ahau taku kupenga ki runga ki a ratou: ka riro ratou i ahau ki raro, ka pera i nga manu o te rangi; ka whiua ratou e ahau, ka peratia me ta o ratou whakaminenga i rongo ai.

13 W oe to them, for they have strayed from Me! Destruction is theirs, for they have rebelled against Me! I would redeem them, but they speak lies against Me.

Aue te mate mo ratou! kua rere atu nei hoki ratou i ahau: ko te ngaromanga mo ratou mo ta ratou takahi i taku: i hokona ano ratou e ahau, heoi kei te korero ratou i nga kupu teka moku.

14 A nd they do not cry to Me from their heart When they wail on their beds; For the sake of grain and new wine they assemble themselves, They turn away from Me.

Kahore hoki ratou i karanga ki ahau, he mea na o ratou ngakau, engari e aue ana ratou i runga i o ratou moenga; e huihui ana ratou, he whakaaro ki te witi, ki te waina, a e whakakeke ana ratou ki ahau.

15 A lthough I trained and strengthened their arms, Yet they devise evil against Me.

Ako noa ahau, whakakaha noa i o ratou ringa, heoi kino tonu to ratou whakaaro moku.

16 T hey turn, but not upward, They are like a deceitful bow; Their princes will fall by the sword Because of the insolence of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.

E hoki ana ratou, ehara ia i te mea ki a ia i runga rawa: ko to ratou rite kei te kopere tinihanga: ka hinga o ratou rangatira i te hoari, he aritarita hoki no to ratou arero: hei mea tenei e kataina ai ratou ki te whenua o Ihipa.
