Osee 13
1 According to the word of Ephraim he adopted ordinances for himself in Israel; and he established them for Baal, and died.
Raha niteny Efraima, dia nampangorohoro, ka nisandratra tao amin’ ny Isiraely izy. Dia nanota ny amin’ i Bala izy ka maty;
2 And now they have sinned increasingly, and have made for themselves a molten image of their silver, according to the fashion of idols, the work of artificers accomplished for them: they say, Sacrifice men, for the calves have come to an end.
Ary ankehitriny dia mandroso manota izy, fa ny volafotsiny no anaovany sarin-javatra an-idina ho azy, dia sampy araka ny fahaizany, izay asan’ ny mpiasa avokoa; Ireny dia lazainy hoe: Aoka hanoroka ny ombilahy kely izay olona mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra.
3 Therefore shall they be as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that passes away, as chaff blown away from the threshing-floor, and as a vapor from tears.
Koa ho toy ny rahona maraina izy sy ho toy ny ando izay levona, raha mbola maraina ny andro, sy ho toy ny akofa izay paohin’ ny rivotra hiala amin’ ny fa noloana, ary ho toy ny setroka avy amin’ ny varavarana makarakara.
4 But I am the Lord thy God that establishes the heaven, and creates the earth, whose hands have framed the whole host of heaven: but I shewed them not to thee that thou shouldest go after them: and I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no God but me; and there is no Saviour beside me.
Fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrao hatrany amin’ ny tany Egypta, ary tsy mahalala Andriamanitra afa-tsy Izaho ianao, sady tsy misy mpamonjy afa-tsy Izaho.
5 I tended thee as a shepherd in the wilderness, in an uninhabited land.
Izaho dia nahalala anao tany an-efitra, dia tany amin’ ny tany mampangetaheta.
6 According to their pastures, so they were completely filled; and their hearts were exalted; therefore they forgot me.
Araka ny ahitra teny aminy no nahavoky azy; Eny, voky izy, ka niavonavona ny fony; Koa izany no nanadinoany Ahy.
7 And I will be to them as a panther, and as a leopard.
Ka dia tonga toy ny liona aminy Aho, toy ny leoparda amoron-dalana no famitsako.
8 I will meet them by the way of the Assyrians, as a she-bear excited, and I will rend the caul of their heart, and the lions' whelps of the thicket shall devour them there; the wild beasts of the field shall rend them in pieces.
Mamely azy toy ny famelin’ ny bera very anaka Aho, ka mandriatra ny sarom-pony, eny, any no andrapahako azy toy ny fandrapaky sy liom-bavy; Ny bibi-dia no hamiravira azy.
9 O Israel, who will aid [thee] in thy destruction?
Izao no maharingana anao, ry Isiraely ô; Manohitra Ahy Izay famonjena anao ianao.
10 Where is this thy king? let him even save thee in all thy cities: let him judge thee, of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and a prince.
Aiza ary izay mpanjakanao, Mba hamonjy anao ao an-tanànanao rehetra? Ary aiza ireo andriambaventinao, izay nantsoinao hoe: Omeo mpanjaka sy mpanapaka aho?
11 And I gave thee a king in mine anger, and kept [him] back in my wrath.
Nomeko mpanjaka ianao tamin’ ny fahatezerako, ary nesoriko izy tamin’ ny fahavinirako.
12 Ephraim [has framed] a conspiracy of unrighteousness, his sin is hidden.
Voafehy ny helok’ i Efraima, voatahiry ny fahotany.
13 Pains as of a woman in travail shall come upon him: he is thy wise son, because he shall not stay in the destruction of [thy] children.
Fanaintainana tahaka ny vehivavy raha miteraka no mahazo azy; Zazalahy tsy hendry izy, fa raha tonga ny fotoana, dia tsy mba mandroso ho eo amin’ ny fiterahan-jaza izy.
14 I will deliver [them] out of the power of Hades, and will redeem them from death: where is thy penalty, O death? O Hades, where is thy sting? comfort is hidden from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
Havotako tsy ho azon’ ny herin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita izy; Hovonjeko ho afaka amin’ ny fahafatesana Izy; Ry fahafatesana ô, aiza ny aretina fandripahanao? Ry fiainan-tsi-hita ô, aiza ny fandringananao? Afenina tsy ho hitan’ ny masoko ny nenina. (Sheol h7585)
15 Forasmuch as he will cause a division among [his] brethren, the Lord shall bring upon him an east wind from the desert, and shall dry up his veins [and] quite drain his fountains: he shall dry up his land, and [spoil] all his precious vessels.
Fa Efraima dia hahavokatra eo amin’ ny rahalahy; Nefa ho avy ny rivotra avy any atsinanana, dia ny rivotr’ i Jehovah miakatra avy any an-efitra, ka dia ho ritra ny loharanony, ary ho tankina ny fantsakany; Hobaboina ny rakitra, dia ny fanaka tsara rehetra.
16 Samaria shall be utterly destroyed: for she has resisted her God; they shall fall by the sword, and their sucklings shall be dashed against the ground, and their women with child ripped up.
Hovaliana Samaria noho ny helony, Fa niodina tamin’ Andriamaniny izy; Ho lavon-tsabatra izy, ny zanany madinika hotorotoroina, ary izay bevohoka eo aminy hotatahana.
