Hosea 12
1 Ephraim feeds on wind and follows burning heat; all day long he multiplies lies and desolation. And he has entered into a pact with the Assyrians, and he has carried oil into Egypt.
Mandrazan-tioke t’i Efraime, mañeañe tiok’atiñanañe; ampitoabore’e vande naho joy lomoñandro, mbore milahatse amy Asore, mbore mañondrañe menake amy Mitsraime.
2 Therefore, the judgment of the Lord is with Judah and a visitation is upon Jacob. He will repay him according to his ways and according to his inventions.
Manan-kabò am’ Iehodà ka t’Iehovà, o sata’eo ro hitiliha’ Iakobe; o fitoloña’eo ro hañondroha’e aze.
3 In the womb, he supplanted his brother; for in his good fortune, he had been guided by an angel.
Rinambe’e an-tomi’e an-koviñe ao i zoke’ey, le nifanehak’ aman’ Añahare an-kaozara’e;
4 And he prevailed over an angel, for he had been strengthened. He wept and petitioned him. He found him in Bethel, and there he has spoken to us.
Eka nigore’e i anjeliy vaho nahatañe; nirovetse re naho nitoreova’e; i nioni’e e Betele añey, le ao ty nitsara’e aman-tika.
5 And the Lord God of hosts, the Lord is his memorial.
Eka, Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ i màroy; Iehovà ty tahina’e.
6 And so, you should convert to your God. Keep mercy and judgment, and have hope in your God always.
Aa le mimpolia mb’aman’Añahare’o; tambozoro ty fatarihañe naho ty hatò, vaho itamao nainai’e t’i Andrianañahare’o.
7 Canaan, in his hand is a deceitful balance, he has chosen false accusations.
I mpampibalibalikey, balantsim-pamañahiañe ty am-pità’e ao; tea’e ty mikatramo.
8 And Ephraim has said, “Nevertheless, I have become rich; I have found an idol for myself. All of my labors will not reveal to me the iniquity that I have committed.”
Hoe t’i Efraime, Toe fa mpañaleale iraho, nahatrea vara maro; tsy eo ty haharendreke tahiñe amako, ndra hakeo amo fitoloñakoo.
9 And I, the Lord your God from the land of Egypt, nevertheless will cause you to dwell in tabernacles, just as during the days of the feast.
Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’o boak’ an-tane’ i Mitsraime añe; mbe hampimoneñeko an-kibohotse irehe manahak’ amo andro namantañañeo.
10 And I have spoken through the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and I have used parables through the hands of the prophets.
Nisaontsieko o mpitokio, nampitomboeko aroñaroñe, vaho nandrazañe am-pitàm-pitoky.
11 If Gilead is an idol, then they have been sacrificing cattle in Gilgal to no purpose. For even their altars are like clutter on the soil of the field.
Aman-tahiñe hao t’i Gilade? toe hakoahañe, ie nañenga bania e Gilgale ao; eka, votrim-bato am-bavahali’ o hatsakeo o kitreli’eo.
12 Jacob fled into the region of Syria, and Israel served like a wife, and was served by a wife.
F’ie nilay mb’an-tete’ i Arame añe t’Iakobe, nitoroñe ho a i tañamjomba’ey, eka nimpiarake ty amy vali’ey.
13 Yet by a prophet the Lord led Israel out of Egypt, and he was served by a prophet.
Mpitoky ty nañendesa’ Iehovà t’Israele boake Mitsraime ao, vaho mpitoky ty nañarovañ’ aze;
14 Ephraim has provoked me to wrath with his bitterness, and his blood will overcome him, and his Lord will requite him for his shamefulness.
nikai-jaka añ’afero t’i Efraime; aa le hapoke ama’e ty lio’e; vaho hondrohe’ i Talè’e ama’e ty inje’e.
