Hosea 7
1 When I heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim will be exposed, as well as the crimes of Samaria. For they practice deceit and thieves break in; bandits raid in the streets.
Raha ta-hanasitrana ny Isiraely Aho, dia miseho ny helok’ i Efraima sy ny faharatsian’ i Samaria, fa manao fitaka izy; Miditra ny mpangalatra, ary ny jiolahy manao andiany dia mandehandeha eny ivelany.
2 But they fail to consider in their hearts that I remember all their evil. Now their deeds are all around them; they are before My face.
Ary tsy heveriny ao am-po fa tsarovako ny faharatsiany rehetra; Ankehitriny dia gejan’ ny nataony izy, efa tonga eo anatrehako izany.
3 They delight the king with their evil, and the princes with their lies.
Amin’ ny faharatsiany no ampifaliany ny mpanjaka, ary amin’ ny laingany ny mpanapaka.
4 They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by a baker who needs not stoke the fire from the kneading to the rising of the dough.
Samy mpaka vadin’ olona avokoa izy rehetra ka toy ny fatana voafanan’ ny mpanendy mofo, izay mitsahatra tsy misorona afo hatramin’ ny ametafetany ny koba ka ambara-pitombony.
5 The princes are inflamed with wine on the day of our king; so he joins hands with those who mock him.
Tamin’ ny andron’ ny mpanjakantsika dia nankarary tena tamin’ ny fanafanan’ ny herin’ ny divay ny mpanapaka; Nifandray tanana tamin’ ny mpaniratsira ny mpanjaka.
6 For they prepare their heart like an oven while they lie in wait; all night their anger smolders; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
Fa entin’ ireo ho ao am-panotrehana ny fony, toy ny ho ao amin’ ny fatana; Mandritra ny alina dia matory ihany ny mpanendy azy, ary nony maraina dia toy ny lelafo mirehitra ny fatana.
7 All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers. All their kings fall; not one of them calls upon Me.
Samy mahamay toy ny fatana izy rehetra ka mandevona ny andriambaventiny; Efa lavo avokoa, ny mpanjakany, tsy misy miantso Ahy izy rehetra.
8 Ephraim mixes with the nations; Ephraim is an unturned cake.
Efraima dia miharoharo amin’ ireo firenena; Efraima dia efa tonga ampempa tsy voavadika.
9 Foreigners consume his strength, but he does not notice. Even his hair is streaked with gray, but he does not know.
Lanin’ ny vahiny ny heriny, nefa tsy fantany akory izany; Eny, efa mipi-bolo ihany izy, saingy tsy fantany.
10 Israel’s arrogance testifies against them, yet they do not return to the LORD their God; despite all this, they do not seek Him.
Ary ny avonavon’ Isiraely dia vavolombelona manameloka azy; Nefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy miverina amin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny ihany izy, na mitady Azy.
11 So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove— calling out to Egypt, then turning to Assyria.
Ary Efraima dia efa tonga tahaka ny voromailala adaladala tsy manan-tsaina; Efa miantso an’ i Egypta izy ary efa mankany Asyria.
12 As they go, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the air. I will chastise them when I hear them flocking together.
Raha vao mandeha izy, dia hovelariko aminy ny fandrika haratoko, ka hampidiniko ao toy ny voro-manidina izy; Hofaizako izy araka izay efa nambara tamin’ ny fiangonany.
13 Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me! Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against Me! Though I would redeem them, they speak lies against Me.
Lozan’ ireny! satria nandositra Ahy izy, haringana izy! satria niodina tamiko; Izaho ta-hanavotra azy, fa izy kosa dia lainga no entiny milaza Ahy.
14 They do not cry out to Me from their hearts when they wail upon their beds. They slash themselves for grain and new wine, but turn away from Me.
Ary tsy mitaraina amiko ao am-pony izy, fa midradradradra foana ao am-pandriany; Mitangorona hitady vary sy ranom-boaloboka izy, dia miodina miala amiko.
15 Although I trained and strengthened their arms, they plot evil against Me.
Ary Izaho no nampianatra sy nanatanjaka ny sandriny, nefa izy kosa dia misaintsain-dratsy Ahy,
16 They turn, but not to the Most High; they are like a faulty bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword for the cursing of their tongue; for this they will be ridiculed in the land of Egypt.
Miverina ihany izy, nefa tsy ho amin’ ny Avo; Tonga tahaka ny tsipìka manjiona izy; Ho lavon-tsabatra ny mpanapaka azy noho ny firehitry ny lelany; Izany no ho latsany any amin’ ny tany Egypta.
