Hosea 4
1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel, for the Lord shall enter into judgment with the inhabitants of the land: for there is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God in the land.
Mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ianareo Zanak’ Isiraely! Fa Jehovah manana ady amin’ ny mponina amin’ ny tany, satria tsy misy fahamarinana, na fitiavana, na fahalalana an’ Andriamanitra eo amin’ ny tany,
2 Cursing, and lying, and killing, and theft, and adultery have overflowed, and blood hath touched blood.
Fa fianianana sy lainga sy vonoana sy halatra sy fijangajangana kosa, eny, manao an-keriny izy ka mifanontona ny fandatsahan-drà.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the air: yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be gathered together.
Ary noho izany dia mitomany ny tany ary reraka izay rehetra mitoetra ao aminy, dia ny bibi-dia sy ny voro-manidina; Eny, na dia ny hazandrano any anaty ranomasina aza dia ringana koa.
4 But yet let not any man judge: and let not a man be rebuked: for thy people are as they that contradict the priest.
Kanefa aza misy mandahatra, na mananatra; Fa ny oloko dia efa tahaka ny mifanditra amin’ ny mpisorona.
5 And thou shalt fall today, and the prophet also shall fall with thee: in the night I have made thy mother to be silent.
Ka dia ho tafintohina antoandro ianao, ary ny mpaminany hiara-tafintohina aminao koa amin’ ny alina, ary hovonoiko ny reninao.
6 My people have been silent, because they had no knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will reject thee, that thou shalt not do the office of priesthood to me: and thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.
Ringana ny oloko noho ny tsi-fisian’ ny fahalalana. Satria ianao efa nandà ny fahalalana, dia mba holaviko kosa tsy ho mpisoroko intsony; Ary efa nanadino ny lalan’ Andriamanitrao ianao, ka dia mba hohadinoiko kosa ny zanakao.
7 According to the multitude of them so have they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame.
Araka ny nitomboany no nanotany tamiko, ka dia hampodiko ho henatra kosa ny voninahiny.
8 They shall eat the sins of my people, and shall lift up their souls to their iniquity.
Ny fanatitra noho ny ota izay aterin’ ny oloko dia haniny ka satriny ihany ny ho diso ireny.
9 And there shall be like people like priest: and I will visit their ways upon them, and I will repay them their devices.
Ary ho sahala ihany ny hanjo ny olona sy ny mpisorona; Dia hovaliako izy noho ny lalany, ary ny ataony dia hatsingeriko aminy.
10 And they shall eat and shall not be filled: they have committed fornication, and have not ceased: because they have forsaken the Lord in not observing his law.
Ka dia hihinana izy, nefa tsy ho voky, hijangajanga izy, nefa tsy hihabetsaka, satria Jehovah efa tsy nahoany intsony.
11 Fornication, and wine, and drunkenness take away the understanding.
Fijangajangana sy divay ary ranom-boaloboka no mahalasa ny saina.
12 My people have consulted their stocks, and their staff hath declared unto them: for the spirit of fornication hath deceived them, and they have committed fornication against their God.
Ny oloko dia mila saina amin’ ny tapa-kazony, ary ny tehiny no manambara aminy; Fa ny fanahim-pijangajangana no nampania azy, ary lasan-ko janga izy ka tsy manaiky an’ Andriamaniny.
13 They offered sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burnt incense upon the hills: under the oak, and the poplar, and the turpentine tree, because the shadow thereof was good: therefore shall your daughters commit fornication, and your spouses shall be adulteresses.
Eny an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra no amonoany zavatra hatao fanatitra, ary eny amin’ ny havoana no andoroany ditin-kazo manitra, dia eny ambanin’ ny hazo ôka sy ny popola ary ny terebinta, satria tsara alokaloka ireny; Koa izany no ijejojejoan’ ny zanakavavinareo sy ijangajangan’ ny vinantovavinareo.
14 I will not visit upon your daughters when they shell commit fornication, and upon your spouses when they shall commit adultery: because themselves conversed with harlots, and offered sacrifice with the effeminate, and the people that doth not understand shall be beaten.
Tsy hamaly ny zanakavavinareo Aho, raha mijejojejo izy, na ny vinantovavinareo, raha mijangajanga izy; Fa ny tenanareo aza dia miavaka hankamin’ ny mpijangajanga sady mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra miaraka amin’ ireo vehivavy mpanolotena hijangajanga ho fanompoan-tsampy, ka dia ho lavo ny firenena tsy misaina.
15 If thou play the harlot, O Israel, at least let not Juda offend: and go ye not into Galgal, and come not up into Bethaven, and do not swear: The Lord liveth.
Na dia mijangajanga aza ianao, ry Isiraely. Aoka ny Joda tsy mba hanota; Ary aza mankany Gilgala na miakatra any Betavena ianareo; Ary aza mianiana hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah!
16 For Israel hath gone astray like a wanton heifer: now will the Lord feed them, as a lamb in a spacious place.
Fa ny Isiraely dia maditra toy ny vantotr’ ombivavy maditra; Ankehitriny dia handrasan’ i Jehovah toy ny zanak’ ondry eny amin’ ny malalaka izy.
17 Ephraim is a partaker with idols, let him alone.
Tafaraikitra amin’ ny sampy Efraima; Aoka izy ho eo.
18 Their banquet is separated, they have gone astray by fornication: they that should have protected them have loved to bring shame upon them.
Efa lefy ny divainy; Mahery mijangajanga izy; Fatra-pitia henatra ireo mpanapaka azy.
19 The wind hath bound them up in its wings, and they shall be confounded because of their sacrifices.
Voapaoky ny elatry ny rivotra izy ka ho menatra noho ny zavatra novonoiny hatao fanatitra.
