< Hosea 2 >

1 Say vnto your brethren, Ammi, and to your sisters, Ruhamah,
Manaova amin’ ny rahalahinareo hoe: Amy, ary amin’ ny anabavinareo hoe: Rohama.
2 Plead with your mother: plead with her: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: but let her take away her fornications out of her sight, and her adulteries from betweene her breasts.
Mifandahara amin-dreninareo, eny, mifandahara fa izy tsy vadiko, ary Izaho tsy vadiny, ary aoka hesoriny ny fijejojejoany hiala eo amin’ ny tavany sy ny fijangajangany tsy ho eo an-tratrany;
3 Lest I strippe her naked, and set her as in the day that shee was borne, and make her as a wildernes, and leaue her like a drie land, and slaie her for thirst.
Fandrao hampihanjahanjaiko izy ka hataoko toy ny tamin’ ny andro nahaterahany, ary hataoko toy ny efitra sy ny tany karankaina izy, eny, hataoko matin-ketaheta izy.
4 And I wil haue no pitie vpon her children: for they be the children of fornications.
Ary tsy hamindrako fo ny zanany, Satria zanaky ny fijangajangana ireny.
5 For their mother hath plaied the harlot: she that conceiued them, hath done shamefully: for shee said, I will goe after my louers that giue me my bread and my water, my wooll and my flaxe, mine oyle and my drinke.
Fa efa nijangajanga ny reniny, eny, ilay torontoronina azy efa nanao izay mahamenatra; Fa hoy izy: Hanaraka ireo lehilahiko ihany aho, Izay manome ahy ny hanin-kohaniko sy ny rano hosotroiko, sy ny volon’ ondriko sy ny rongoniko sy ny diloiloko ary ny fisotroko.
6 Therefore beholde, I will stoope thy way with thornes, and make an hedge, that shee shall not finde her pathes.
Koa, indro, hotampenako tsilo ny lalanao sady hasiako fefy, ary tsy hahita izay lalan-kalehany izy.
7 Though shee follow after her louers, yet shall shee not come at them: though shee seeke them, yet shall shee not finde them: then shall she say, I will goe and returne to my first husband: for at that time was I better then nowe.
Ary hiezaka hanenjika ireo lehilahiny izy, nefa tsy hahatratra azy; Eny, hitady ireo izy, nefa tsy hahita; Dia hanao hoe izy: Handeha hody amin’ ny vadiko taloha aho; Fa niadana aho tamin’ izay noho ny ankehitriny.
8 Nowe she did not knowe that I gaue her corne, and wine, and oyle, and multiplied her siluer and golde, which they bestowed vpon Baal.
Ary tsy fantany fa Izaho no nanome azy ny vary sy ny ranom-boaloboka sy ny diloilo, sady nataoko be ny volafotsiny sy ny volamenany, izay nolaniny ho an’ i Bala,
9 Therefore wil I returne, and take away my corne in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recouer my wool and my flaxe lent, to couer her shame.
Koa dia halaiko indray ny variko amin’ ny androny sy ny ranom-boaloboko amin’ ny taonany, ary haoriko ny volon’ ondriko sy ny rongoniko, izay nomena hasarony ny fitanjahany.
10 And now will I discouer her lewdnes in the sight of her louers, and no man shall deliuer her out of mine hand.
Ary ankehitriny hasehoko eo imason’ ireo lehilahiny ny fahamenarany, ka tsy hisy hahafaka azy amin’ ny tanako.
11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast daies, her newe moones, and her Sabbathes, and all her solemne feasts.
Ary hatsahatro ny fifaliany rehetra, dia ny andro firavoravoany sy ny voaloham-bolany ary ny Sabatany, eny, ny fotoam-pivavahany rehetra.
12 And I wil destroy her vines and her figtrees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my louers haue giuen mee: and I will make them as a forest, and the wilde beasts shall eate them.
Ary hofongorako ny voalobony sy ny aviaviny, izay nataony hoe: Tangiko avy tamin’ ireo lehilahiko ireto, ary hataoko ho tonga ala ireny ka hohanin’ ny bibidia.
13 And I wil visit vpon her the daies of Baalim, wherein shee burnt incense to them: and shee decked her selfe with her earings and her iewels, and shee folowed her louers, and forgate me, saith the Lord.
Ary hovaliako izy noho ny andron’ ireo Bala, izay efa nandoroany ditin-kazo manitra sady niravahany ny kaviny sy ny firavany, ka nanaraka ireo lehilahiny izy; Fa Izaho kosa nohadinoiny, hoy Jehovah.
14 Therefore beholde, I will allure her, and bring her into the wildernesse, and speake friendly vnto her.
Koa, indro, Izaho dia hitaona azy ka hitondra azy ho any an-efitra ary hanao teny malefaka hahafinaritra azy.
15 And I will giue her her vineyardes from thence, and the valley of Achor for the doore of hope, and shee shall sing there as in the daies of her youth, and as in the daies when shee came vp out of the land of Egypt.
Ary hatrany dia homeko azy ny tanim-boalobony sy ny lohasaha Akora ho varavaram-panantenana; Ary any no hamaliany toy ny tamin’ ny andro fahatanorany, dia toy ny tamin’ ny andro niakarany avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta.
16 And at that day, sayeth the Lord, thou shalt call me Ishi, and shalt call me no more Baali.
Ary raha mby amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, dia hataonao hoe Aho Vadiko, fa tsy hataonao intsony hoe Balako.
17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall be no more remembred by their names.
Fa hesoriko amin’ ny vavany ny anaran’ ireo Bala, ka tsy hotsarovana amin’ ny anarany intsony ireo.
18 And in that day wil I make a couenant for them, with the wilde beasts, and with the foules of the heauen, and with that that creepeth vpon the earth: and I will breake the bowe, and the sworde and the battell out of the earth, and will make them to sleepe safely.
Ary raha mby amin’ izany andro izany, Izaho dia hanao fanekena ho azy amin’ ny bibidia sy amin’ ny voro-manidina ary amin’ ny biby mandady sy mikisaka amin’ ny tany; Ary hotapatapahiko tsy hisy amin’ ny tany intsony ny tsipìka sy ny sabatra ary ny fiadiana, dia hataoko mandry fahizay izy;
19 And I wil marry thee vnto me for euer: yea, I will marry thee vnto me in righteousnes, and in iudgement, and in mercy and in compassion.
Ary hofofoiko ho vadiko mandrakizay ianao, eny, hofofoiko ho vadiko amin’ ny rariny sy ny hitsiny ary amin’ ny fitiavana sy ny indrafo ianao;
20 I will euen marry thee vnto me in faithfulnes, and thou shalt knowe the Lord.
Eny, hofofoiko ho vadiko amin’ ny fahamarinana ianao. Ka dia hahalala an’ i Jehovah.
21 And in that day I wil heare, saith the Lord, I will euen heare the heauens, and they shall heare the earth,
Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hihaino Aho, hoy Jehovah, eny, hihainoa ny lanitra Aho, ary izy kosa hihaino ny tany;
22 And the earth shall heare the corne, and the wine, and the oyle, and they shall heare Izreel.
Ary ny tany kosa hihaino ny vary sy ny ranom-boaloboka ary ny diloilo; Ary ireo kosa dia hihaino an’ i Jezirela,
23 And I will sowe her vnto me in the earth, and I will haue mercie vpon her, that was not pitied, and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people. And they shall say, Thou art my God.
Dia hafafiko ho Ahy amin’ ny tany izy; Ary hamindra fo amin’ i Lò-rohama Aho sady hanao amin’ i Lò-amy hoe: Oloko ianao; Ary izy kosa hanao hoe: Andriamanitro Hianao.
