¹`When I give healing to Israel, Then revealed is the iniquity of Ephraim, And the wickedness of Samaria, For they have wrought falsehood, And a thief doth come in, Stript off hath a troop in the street,

¹¶ 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.

²And they do not say to their heart, [That] all their evil I have remembered, Now compassed them have their doings, Over-against My face they have been.

²A 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.

³With their wickedness they make glad a king, And with their lies — princes.

³Ka meinga e ratou te kingi kia koa ki ta ratou kino, nga rangatira hoki ki a ratou teka.

⁴All of them [are] adulterers, Like a burning oven of a baker, He ceaseth from stirring up after kneading the dough, till its leavening.

⁴He 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.

⁵A day of our king! Princes have polluted themselves [with] the poison of wine, He hath drawn out his hand with scorners.

⁵I 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.

⁶For they have drawn near, As an oven [is] their heart, In their lying in wait all the night sleep doth their baker, Morning! he is burning as a flaming fire.

⁶Ano 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.

⁷All of them are warm as an oven, And they have devoured their judges, All their kings have fallen, There is none calling unto Me among them.

⁷Werawera 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.

⁸Ephraim! among peoples he mixeth himself, Ephraim hath been a cake unturned.

⁸¶ Ko Eparaima, kei te hanumi ia ki roto ki nga iwi; he keke a Eparaima kihai i hurihia.

⁹Devoured have strangers his power, And he hath not known, Also old age hath sprinkled [itself] on him, And he hath not known.

⁹Kua 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.

¹⁰And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And they have not turned back unto Jehovah their God, Nor have they sought Him for all this.

¹⁰Ko 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.

¹¹And Ephraim is as a simple dove without heart, Egypt they called on — [to] Asshur they have gone.

¹¹E 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.

¹²When they go I spread over them My net, As the fowl of the heavens I bring them down, I chastise them as their company hath heard.

¹²Ka 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.

¹³Wo to them, for they wandered from Me, Destruction to them, for they transgressed against Me, And I — I ransom them, and they have spoken lies against Me,

¹³Aue 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.

¹⁴And have not cried unto Me with their heart, but howl on their beds, For corn and new wine they assemble themselves, They turn aside against Me.

¹⁴Kahore 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.

¹⁵And I instructed — I strengthened their arms, And concerning Me they think evil!

¹⁵Ako noa ahau, whakakaha noa i o ratou ringa, heoi kino tonu to ratou whakaaro moku.

¹⁶They turn back — not to the Most High, They have been as a deceitful bow, Fall by sword do their princes, From the insolence of their tongue, This [is] their derision in the land of Egypt!

¹⁶E 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.
