Osee 11
1 Early in the morning were they cast off, the king of Israel has been cast off: for Israel is a child, and I loved him, and out of Egypt have I called his children.
Fony mbola zaza Isiraely, dia tiako izy, ary nantsoiko hiala tany Egypta ny zanako.
2 As I called them, so they departed from my presence: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burnt incense to graven images.
Nony nisy niantso azy, dia vao mainka nandositra ireny izy; Ho an’ ireo Bala kosa no amonoany zavatra hatao fanatitra, ary ho an’ ny sarin-javatra voasokitra no andoroany ditin-kazo manitra.
3 Yet I bound the feet of Ephraim, I took him on my arm; but they knew not that I healed them.
Fa Izaho no nampianatra an’ i Efraima handeha. Eny, notrotroiko tamin’ ny sandriko aza izy. Nefa tsy fantany fa Izaho no nahasitrana azy.
4 When men were destroyed, I drew them with the bands of my love: and I will be to them as a man smiting [another] on his cheek: and I will have respect to him, I will prevail with him.
Tamin’ ny kofehy fitarihana olona no nitarihako azy, dia tamin’ ny mahazakan’ ny fitiavana; Ary efa toy izay manainga ny fehim-bava eo ambonin’ ny valanoranony Aho ka nanolo-kanina azy tsimoramora.
5 Ephraim dwelt in Egypt; and [as for] the Assyrian, he was his king, because he would not return.
Tsy hiverina ho any amin’ ny tany Egypta izy, fa Asyria no ho mpanjakany, satria tsy nety nibebaka izy.
6 And in his cities he prevailed not with the sword, and he ceased [to war] with his hands: and they shall eat [of the fruit] of their own devices:
Ary noho ny fisainany dia hisy sabatra hantsodina ao an-tanànany ka handrava sy handevona ny hidiny.
7 and his people [shall] cleave fondly to their habitation; but God shall be angry with his precious things, and shall not at all exalt him.
Minia miodina amiko ny oloko; Ary na dia antsoiny ho amin’ ny Avo aza izy, samy tsy mety miainga akory.
8 How shall I deal with thee, Ephraim? [how] shall I protect thee, Israel? what shall I do with thee? I will make thee as Adama, and as Seboim; my heart is turned at once, my repentance is powerfully excited.
Hataoko ahoana e no fahafoy anao, ry Efraima, na ho fanolotra anao, ry Isiraely! Hataoko ahoana e no fanao anao ho tahaka an’ i Adma! Hataoko ahoana e no fametraka anao ho tahaka an’ i Zeboïma! Onena ny foko, mafy loatra ny alaheloko.
9 I will not act according to the fury of my wrath, I will not abandon Ephraim to be utterly destroyed: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One within thee: and I will not enter into the city.
Tsy hanontolo fo Aho, na handringana an’ i Efraima intsony; Fa Andriamanitra Aho, fa tsy olona, dia ny Iray Masìna ao aminao, ka dia tsy ho avy amim-pahatezerana mirehitra Aho.
10 I will go after the Lord: he shall utter [his voice] as a lion: for he shall roar, and the children of the waters shall be amazed.
Harahin’ ireny Jehovah, hierona toy ny liona Izy; Eny, Izy no hierona, dia hanatona amin-kovitra avy any andrefana ny zanaka.
11 They shall be amazed [and fly] as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will restore them to their houses, saith the Lord.
Hanatona amin-kovitra avy any Egypta toy ny voronkely izy, ary avy any amin’ ny tany Asyria toy ny voromailala; Ka dia hampitoeriko ao an-tranony izy, hoy Jehovah.
12 Ephraim has compassed me with falsehood, and the house of Israel and Juda with ungodliness: [but] now God knows them, and they shall be called God's holy people.
Efraima manodidina Ahy amin’ ny lainga, ary ny taranak’ Isiraely amin’ ny fitaka; Ary Joda mbola mikarenjy tsy manatona an’ Andriamanitra, dia ny Iray Masìna sy Mahatoky.
