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.
Janjiño ty tsara’Iehovà: ry ana’ Israeleo; amy te atreatré’ Iehovà o mpimoneñe an-tane atoio. Fa tsy aman-katò, tsy mitretrè, tsy mahafohiñe an’ Andrianañahare ty an-tane ao.
2 Cursing, and lying, and killing, and theft, and adultery have overflowed, and blood hath touched blood.
Te mone fàtse, naho lañitse, naho hohodan-doza, naho kametse, vaho hakarapiloañe ty itoloña’ iareo, le mifanoitoy ami’ty lio ty lio.
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.
Aa le handala ty tane, naho fonga hinìke ze mpimoneñe ao, naho o bibin-kivokeo naho o voron-dikerañeo; vaho hasese añe ka o fian-driakeo.
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.
Asoao tsy ho liereñe tsy ho endakendaheñe, fa manahake ty mpifandietse ami’ty mpisoroñe ondatikoo.
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.
Aa le hikorovoke antoandro irehe, le hindre hihotrak’ ama’o ty mpitoky naho haleñe, vaho havetrako ty rene’o.
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.
Rotsake ondatikoo fa po-hilala, aa kanao narinjèñe’o ty hihitse le hariako amo fisoroñañeo irehe; kanao nandikofa’o o Tsaran’Añahare’oo, le ho haliñoko ka o ana’oo.
7 According to the multitude of them so have they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame.
Ie nampitoaboreñe iereo àntsake t’ie nandilatse amako; aa le hafoteko ho fisalarañe ty asi’ iareo.
8 They shall eat the sins of my people, and shall lift up their souls to their iniquity.
Fihinana’ iareo o engan-kakeo’ ondatikoo, vontitire’ iereo an-tro’e ao o tahi’ iareoo.
9 And there shall be like people like priest: and I will visit their ways upon them, and I will repay them their devices.
Le zao ty ho ie te hiray ami’ty ondaty ty mpisoroñe; sindre ho liloveko ty amo sata’eo, vaho hondroheko ty amo fitoloña’eo.
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.
Hikama iereo fe tsy ho anjañe; hanao hakarapiloañe fe tsy hitombo, amy te napo’ iereo ty hañaoñe am’ Iehovà
11 Fornication, and wine, and drunkenness take away the understanding.
Mitavañe arofo ty hakarapiloañe, naho ty divay, vaho i divay vaoy.
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.
Mihalaly hevetse am-poto-katae’eo ondatikoo, vaho manoiñe ty kobai’ iareo; fa nampandilatse iareo ty fañahin-kakarapiloañe, vaho nifarie’iereo t’i Andrianañahare’iareo.
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.
Mañenga soroñe am-bohitse ey iereo naho mañembok’ an-kaboañe ey, ambane’ o kileo naho o talìo, vaho o mendoraveñeo, o mañaloke soao; aa le handrato o anak’ ampela’ areoo, vaho hanao hakarapiloañe o ana-drahavavem-bali’ areoo.
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 ho tiliheko o anak’ampela’ areoo t’ie manao hakarapiloañe, naho o ana-drahavavem-bali’ areoo, t’ie mandranto fa mitrao-pañenga amo tsimirirañeo iereo, vaho miharo soroñe amo kalalijakeo; toe hihotrake ondaty tsy aman-kilalao.
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.
Aa ndra te manao hakarapiloan-drehe Israele, ko ampandilare’o t’Iehodà; ko migodañe mb’e Gilgale, naho ko mionjomb’e Bet’avène mb’eo, vaho ko mifanta ty hoe Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà.
16 For Israel hath gone astray like a wanton heifer: now will the Lord feed them, as a lamb in a spacious place.
Fa midisa-voly manahake ty fidisa-volin-kiloa t’Israele; aa vaho ho fahana’ Iehovà hoe añondri-lahy midada iereo?
17 Ephraim is a partaker with idols, let him alone.
Kanao mitolon-tsamposampo t’i Efraime; adono ey.
18 Their banquet is separated, they have gone astray by fornication: they that should have protected them have loved to bring shame upon them.
Fa maseñe ty divai’ iareo; ie mitoloñe hakarapiloañe avao; tea’ o mpifehe’oo ty haloloañe te ami’ty engeñe.
19 The wind hath bound them up in its wings, and they shall be confounded because of their sacrifices.
Fa kinolopo’ i tiokey añ’ela’e ao iereo le ho salatse ty amo fisoroña’ iareoo
