Hosea 14

1 O Israel, returne vnto the Lord thy God: for thou hast fallen by thine iniquitie.

Ry Isiraely ô, miverena amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, fa lavon-keloka ianao.

2 Take vnto you words, and turne to the Lord, and say vnto him, Take away all iniquitie, and receiue vs graciously: so wil we render the calues of our lippes.

Mitondrà teny ianareo, eny, miverena amin’ i Jehovah, ka manaova aminy hoe: Mamelà ny heloka rehetra, ary raiso izay tsara, ka dia haterinay ho fanatitra ny molotray.

3 Asshur shall not saue vs, neither wil we ride vpon horses, neither will we say any more to the worke of our handes, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherlesse findeth mercie.

Asyria tsy hamonjy anay, tsy hitaingin-tsoavaly izahay sady tsy hiteny amin’ ny asan’ ny tananay intsony hoe: Ry Andriamanitray ô; Fa ao aminao no ahitan’ ny kamboty famindram-po.

4 I wil heale their rebellion: I wil loue them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.

Hositraniko ny fiodinany, ho tia azy tsy vozonana Aho; Fa efa niala taminy ny fahatezerako.

5 I will be as the dewe vnto Israel: he shall grow as the lilie and fasten his rootes, as the trees of Lebanon.

Ho tahaka ny ando Aho amin’ ny Isiraely; Hamony tahaka ny lilia izy, ary hamaka tahaka an’ i Libanona.

6 His branches shall spread, and his beautie shalbe as the oliue tree, and his smell as Lebanon.

Hisandrahaka ny rantsany, ho tahaka ny an’ ny hazo oliva ny hatsaran-tarehiny, ary ho tahaka ny an’ i Libanona ny hanitra avy aminy.

7 They that dwel vnder his shadow, shall returne: they shall reuiue as the corne, and florish as the vine: the sent thereof shalbe as the wine of Lebanon.

Izay mipetraka ao ambanin’ ny alokalony dia hampahavokatra vary indray, ary haniry tahaka ny voaloboka izy; Ny lazany ho tahaka ny an’ ny divay avy any Libanona.

8 Ephraim shall say, What haue I to doe any more with idoles? I haue heard him, and looked vpon him: I am like a greene firre tree: vpon me is thy fruite founde.

Ry Efraima ô, hataoko inona intsony izay sampy? Izaho dia efa nihaino ka nitsinjo anao; Tahaka ny hazo kypreso maitso Aho, avy amiko no hahazoana ny vokatrao.

9 Who is wise, and he shall vnderstande these things? and prudent, and he shall knowe them? for the wayes of the Lord are righteous, and the iust shall walke in them: but the wicked shall fall therein.

Iza no hendry mba hahafantatra izany zavatra izany? Na manan-tsaina mba hahalala izany? Fa mahitsy ny lalan’ i Jehovah, ary ny marina no mizotra eny aminy; Fa ny mpanota kosa dia tafintohina eny aminy.
