Hosea 6
1 'Come, and let us return unto the LORD; for He hath torn, and He will heal us, He hath smitten, and He will bind us up.
Andeha hiverina ho amin’ i Jehovah isika; Fa Izy no namiravira, ary Izy ihany no hahasitrana antsika; Izy no namely, ary Izy no hamehy ny ferintsika.
2 After two days will He revive us, on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.
Rehefa afaka indroa andro, dia hovelominy indray isika; Ary amin’ ny andro fahatelo, dia hatsangany ho velona eo anatrehany isika
3 And let us know, eagerly strive to know the LORD, His going forth is sure as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.'
Dia aoka hahalala, eny, aoka hiezaka hahalala an’ i Jehovah isika; Mahatoky toy ny maraina ny fiposahany, dia ho avy amintsika toy ny ranonorana mivatravatra Izy, sy toy ny fara orana izay mahavonto ny tany.
4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away.
Inona re no ho azoko atao aminao, ry Efraima? Inona re no ho azoko atao aminao, ry Joda? Fa toy ny rahona maraina ny fitiavanareo sy tahaka ny ando izay levona, raha vao maraina ny andro.
5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of My mouth; and thy judgment goeth forth as the light.
Ary noho izany ny mpaminany no nentiko nikapa azy, ny tenin’ ny vavako no nentiko namono azy; Ary ny fitsarana anao dia hiposaka toy ny mazava.
6 For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt-offerings.
Fa famindram-po no sitrako, fa tsy fanatitra alatsa-drà, ary fahalalana an’ Andriamanitra noho ny fanatitra dorana.
7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant; there have they dealt treacherously against Me.
Fa ireny dia nivadika ny fanekena tahaka an’ i Adama, tao no nivadihany nahafoizany Ahy.
8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, it is covered with footprints of blood.
Gileada dia tanànan’ ny mpanao ratsy sady voaloton’ ny rà.
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so doth the company of priests; they murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they commit enormity.
Ary toy ny fanotriky ny jiolahy no fikamban’ ny mpisorona: Mamono eny an-dalambe mankany Sekema izy, eny, efa nanao fahavetavetana koa izy.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; there harlotry is found in Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
Tao amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely no nahitako zavatra mahatsiravina: ao ny fijangajangan’ i Efraima, voaloto Isiraely.
11 Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for thee! When I would turn the captivity of My people,
Ny aminao, ry Joda, dia voatendry koa ny andro hijinjana anao, rehefa ampodiko avy amin’ ny fahababoana ny oloko.
