Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Ephraim feeds on wind, and chases the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and desolation. They make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.
1KE ai nei ka Eperaima i ka makani, A ke hahai nei hoi ia i ka makani hikina: Hoomahuahua no ia i na la a pau i ka hoopunipuni a me ka luku ana; A hana lakou i ka berita me ko Asuria, A ua laweia'ku ka aila i Aigupita.
2The LORD also has a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his deeds he will repay him.

4Indeed, he struggled with the angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication to him. He found him at Bethel, and there he spoke with us—

5even the LORD, the God of Armies. The LORD is his name of renown!
5Oia hoi, o Iehova ke Akua o na kaua; O Iehova, oia kona inoa ponoi.
6Therefore turn to your God. Keep kindness and justice, and wait continually for your God.
6Nolaila, e huli oe i kou Akua: E malama i ke aloha, a me ka olelo hoopono, A e hilinai mau maluna o kou Akua.
7A merchant has dishonest scales in his hand. He loves to defraud.
7He kalepa no ia, ma kona lima ka mea kaupaona hoopunipuni: A makemake no ia i ka alunu.
8Ephraim said, “Surely I have become rich. I have found myself wealth. In all my wealth they won’t find in me any iniquity that is sin.”
8A i iho la o Eperaima, Ua lako no nae wau, Ua loaa ia'u ka waiwai; Ma ka'u mau hana a pau aole i loaa kuu hewa, ka mea i hewa'i au.
9“But I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt. I will yet again make you dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast.
9A owau, o Iehova kou Akua, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, E hoonoho hou aku au ia oe i na halelewa, e like me na la o ka ahaaina.
10I have also spoken to the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets I have used parables.
10A ua olelo aku au ma na kaula, A ua hoomahuahua i na hihio, A ua olelo aku au i na olelo nane ma ka lima o na kaula.
11If Gilead is wicked, surely they are worthless. In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls. Indeed, their altars are like heaps in the furrows of the field.

12Jacob fled into the country of Aram. Israel served to get a wife. For a wife he tended flocks and herds.
12A holo aku la o Iakoba i ka aina o Suria; A hooluhi aku la o Iseraela no ka wahine, A no ka wahine malama aku la ia i na holoholona.
13By a prophet the LORD brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved.
13A ma ke kaula i lawe mai ai o Iehova i ka Iseraela mai Aigupita mai, A ma ke kaula i malama mai ai oia ia ia.
14Ephraim has bitterly provoked anger. Therefore his blood will be left on him, and his Lord will repay his contempt.
14Hoonaukiuki loa aku la o Eperaima ia ia; Nolaila e waiho aku ai ia i kona koko maluna ona, A e hoihoi aku kona Haku i kona hoowahawaha maluna ona.
