Hosea 12
1 Ephraim feedeth on the wind, and followeth the burning heat: all the day long he multiplied lies and desolation: and he hath made a covenant with the Assyrians, and carried oil into Egypt.
Efraima homan-drivotra sady manenjika ny rivotra avy any atsinanana, mandritra ny andro dia ataony betsaka ny lainga sy ny fandozana; Manao fanekena amin’ ny Asyriana izy, ary diloilo no entina ho any Egypta.
2 Therefore there is a judgment of the Lord with Juda, and a visitation for Jacob: he will render to him according to his ways, and according to his devices.
Manana ady amin’ i Joda koa Jehovah ary tsy maintsy mamaly an’ i Jakoba araka ny alehany, ka hatsingeriny aminy ny nataony.
3 In the womb he supplanted his brother: and by his strength he had success with an angel.
Fony mbola tany am-bohoka dia nihazona ny ombelahin-tongotry ny rahalahiny izy, ary rehefa lehibe izy, dia nitolona tamin’ Andriamanitra;
4 And he prevailed over the angel, and was strengthened: he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us.
Eny, nitolona tamin’ Ilay Anjely izy ka nahery; Nitomany izy sady nifona taminy; Nahita azy tao Betela Izy, ary tao no niresahany tamintsika;
5 Even the Lord the God of hosts, the Lord is his memorial.
Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, Jehovah no hahatsiarovana Azy.
6 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and hope in thy God always.
Koa miverena amin’ Andriamanitrao ianao; Tandremo ny famindram-po sy ny rariny. Ary miandrasa an’ Andriamanitrao mandrakariva.
7 He is like Chanaan, there is a deceitful balance in his hand, he hath loved oppression.
Kanana eny an-tànany misy mizana miangatra, ny manambaka no tiany.
8 And Ephraim said: But yet I am become rich, I have found me an idol: all my labours shall not find me the iniquity that I have committed.
Fa hoy Efraima: Fiharian-karena ihany no efa nataoko, nahazo fananana aho; Ny asako rehetra tsy misy hahatonga fahotana na heloka amiko.
9 And I that am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, will yet cause thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the feast.
Nefa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrao hatrany amin’ ny tany Egypta; Ary mbola hampiditra anao an-day indray Aho tahaka ny tamin’ ny fotoam-pivavahana.
10 And I have spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and I have used similitudes by the ministry of the prophets.
Efa niteny tamin’ ny mpaminany koa Aho, sady Izaho no nahabetsaka ny fahitana, ary ny mpaminany dia nampilazaiko ohatra.
11 If Galaad be an idol, then in vain were they in Galgal offering sacrifices with bullocks: for their altars also are as heaps in the furrows of the field.
Raha tena heloka Gileada, dia ho tonga zava-poana tokoa izy; Tany Gilgala no namonoany omby betsaka ho fanatitra, koa ny alitarany dia ho toy ny korontam-bato eny am-bavasa any an-tsaha.
12 Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and was a keeper for a wife.
Jakoba nandositra ho any amin’ ny tany Syria, Isiraely nanompo hahazoany vady, eny, ny hahazoany vady no niandrasany ondry aman’ osy.
13 But the Lord by a prophet brought Israel out of Egypt: and he was preserved by a prophet.
Mpaminany no nentin’ i Jehovah nitondra ny Isiraely nivoaka avy tany Egypta, ary mpaminany koa no nentina niahy azy
14 Ephraim hath provoked me to wrath with his bitterness, and his blood shall come upon him, and his Lord will render his reproach unto him.
Nanao izay nahatezitra indrindra Efraima, ka dia havelan’ ny Tompony ho eo aminy ny ràny, ary hatsingeriny aminy ny vava ratsy nataony.
