Hosea 8
1 “Put the trumpet to your lips! Something like an eagle is over the LORD’s house, because they have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.
Ataovy eo am-bavanao ny anjomara! Fa hisy toy ny voromahery hipaoka ny tranon’ i Jehovah, satria efa nivadika ny fanekeko sy nandika ny lalàko ireo.
2 They cry to me, ‘My God, we, Israel, acknowledge you!’
Izaho dia hitarainany hoe: Andriamanitro ô, izahay Isiraely mahalala Anao.
3 Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy will pursue him.
Ataon’ ny Isiraely ho zavatra maharikoriko ny soa; Ny fahavalo no hanenjika azy.
4 They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made princes, and I did not approve. Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols, that they may be cut off.
Ireny dia nanangana mpanjaka nefa tsy avy tamiko; Nifidy mpanapaka izy, nefa tsy fantatro; Ny volafotsiny sy ny volamenany no nataony sampiny mba hamongorana azy.
5 Let Samaria throw out his calf idol! My anger burns against them! How long will it be until they are capable of purity?
Maharikoriko ilay ombilahy kelinao, ry Samaria; Mirehitra aminareo ny fahatezerako; Mandra-pahoviana no tsy ho tohanareo ny fahadiovana?
6 For this is even from Israel! The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
Fa avy tamin’ ny Isiraely koa izany; Ny mpiasa no nanao azy, ka dia tsy Andriamanitra izy, fa ho torotoro ilay ombilahy kelin’ i Samaria.
7 For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.
Fa rivotra no nafafiny, ary tadio no hojinjany; Tsy misy vary mitsangana, ny salohiny tsy hisy ventiny; Ary raha tàhiny hisy aza, dia ny olona hafa firenena no hihinana azy.
8 Israel is swallowed up. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.
Voatelina Isiraely; Ankehitriny dia efa tonga tahaka ny fanaka tsy mahafinaritra izy any amin’ ny jentilisa.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.
Fa niakatra ho any Asyria izy Toy ny borikidia mandeha irery; Efraima dia nanangy ireo lehilahiny
10 But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.
Ary na dia nanangy tany amin’ ny jentilisa aza izy, dia hovoriko ankehitriny; Ary hihavitsy izy noho ny entan’ ny mpanjakan’ ireo mpanapaka.
11 Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning.
Fa Efraima nanao alitara maro hanotana, eny, efa nahazo alitara hanotana izy.
12 I wrote for him the many things of my law, but they were regarded as a strange thing.
Na dia soratako ho azy ny teny betsaka amin’ ny lalàko aza, dia ataony ho toy ny zavatra tsy izy izany.
13 As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice meat and eat it, but the LORD does not accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt.
Mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho Ahy izy, eny, mihinana ny henan’ izany, nefa tsy sitrak’ i Jehovah izany; Ankehitriny dia hotsarovany ny fahotany, ary hovaliany ny helony; Eny, izy ireny dia hiverina ho any Egypta.
14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses.”
Efa nanadino ny Mpanao azy Isiraely ka nanorina trano vaventy, ary Joda nanamaro tanàna mimanda; Fa haterako afo ao an-tanànany, ka holevonin’ izany ny trano vaventiny.
