Hosea 5
1 Hear this, you priests! Pay attention, house of Israel! Listen, members of the royal family!
Henoinareo izao, ry mpisorona, ary mandrenesa, ry taranak’ Isiraely; Ary atongilano ny sofinareo, ry mpianakavin’ ny mpanjaka; Fa ianareo no hihiran’ ny fitsarana, satria tonga fandrika ao Mizpa ianareo sy fandrika harato voavelatra ao Tabara.
2 Judgment belongs with you because you have been a snare set at Mizpah and a net spread out on Tabor. You dug a deep trap in Shittim, but I will punish you for all these things you have done.
Ny mpivadika dia fatra-pamono; Fa Izaho kosa famaizana azy rehetra.
3 I know Ephraim very well, and Israel cannot hide from me, for now Ephraim is a prostitute and Israel is defiled.
Izaho mahalala an’ i Efraima, ary Isiraely tsy takona amiko; Ankehitriny dia tonga mpijangajanga ianao, ry Efraima, voaloto Isiraely.
4 Your actions stop you from coming back to your God for a spirit of prostitution is within you and you do not know the Lord.
Tsy avelan’ ny ataony hiverina amin’ Andriamanitra izy; Fa ny fanahim-pijangajangana no ao anatiny, ary Jehovah tsy fantany.
5 Israel's pride speaks against them, right in the face. Israel and Ephraim will stumble because of their guilt, and Judah will stumble along with them.
Ary ny avonavon’ Isiraely dia vavolombelona manameloka azy; Ary Isiraely indrindra fa Efraima, ho lavon-keloka; Joda hiara-davo aminy koa.
6 They will go to seek the Lord with their herds and flocks, but they will not find him, for he has given up on them.
Hitondra ny ombiny aman’ ondriny izy ka handeha hitady an’ i Jehovah. Nefa tsy hahita Azy; Jehovah efa niala taminy.
7 They have been unfaithful to the Lord and have had children that are not his. Now the New Moon will destroy them along with their fields.
Nivadika tamin’ i Jehovah izy, fa niteraka zaza sary; Ankehitriny dia ho levon’ ny voaloham-bolana izy mbamin’ ny zara-lovany.
8 Blow the horn in Gibeah! Sound the trumpet in Ramah! Shout an alarm in Beth-aven! Lead the way, Benjamin!
Tsofy ao Gibea ny anjomara ary ny trompetra ao Rama! Miantsoa mafy ao Betavena! Inay! misy manenjika anao, ry Benjamina!
9 Ephraim will be left desolate on the day of punishment. Among the tribes of Israel I will reveal what is the real truth.
Ho lao Efraima, raha mby amin’ ny andro fanamelohana; Izay tsy maintsy ho tò no nambarako tao amin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely.
10 The rulers of Judah have become thieves like those who illegally move boundaries. I will pour out my anger like water upon them.
Ny mpanapaka ny Joda dia efa tonga toy izay mamindra faritany, ka dia ireo no hampidinako ny fahatezerako toy ny fampidina rano.
11 The people of Ephraim are crushed, smashed to pieces in judgment because they were determined to follow human commands.
Ampahorina Efraima sady voatorotoron’ ny fitsarana, satria ninia nanaraka didin’ olombelona izy,
12 I am like a maggot to Ephraim, and like something rotten to the people of Judah.
Koa amin’ i Efraima dia tahaka ny kalalao Aho ary amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda dia toy ny fositra.
13 When Ephraim saw how sick they were, and Judah saw how wounded they were, Ephraim turned to the great king of Assyria for help, but he could not heal them or cure their wounds.
Rehefa hitan’ i Efraima ny aretiny, ary Joda ny feriny, dia nantany amin’ ny Asyriana Efraima, eny, naniraka ho any amin’ i Jareba mpanjaka izy; Nefa izy tsy mahasitrana anareo, na mampanaritra ny ferinareo.
14 For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a fierce lion to the people of Judah. I will come and tear them to pieces, and carry them off, and no one will be able to rescue them.
Fa amin’ i Efraima dia tahaka ny liona Aho, ary amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda dia tahaka ny liona tanora: Izaho dia Izaho no mamiravira, dia lasa mandeha; Mahalasa Aho, ka tsy misy mahavonjy.
15 Then I will leave and return to where I came from until they acknowledge their wrongs, and in their distress they will seek my face and beg for my help.”
Handeha hody any amin’ ny fitoerako Aho ambara-piaikiny ny helony sy hitadiavany ny tavako. Rehefa azom-pahoriana izy, dia hitady Ahy fatratra.
