< Hosea 11 >

1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
Ie mbe ni-ajaja t’Israele, le nikokoako vaho tinokako hiakats’ i Mitsraime i ana-dahikoy.
2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
Ie nikanjieko iereo àntsake te nihànkañe, nisoroñe amo Baaleo, vaho nañembok’ amo samposampoo.
3 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
Izaho ty nañoke i Efraime hitekeñe, rinambeko an-tañañe, fe tsy napota’iereo te izaho ty nampijangañe.
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat to them.
Tinariko an-tali’ondaty, am-bahem-pikokoañe, le nanahake ty mpañaka-joka an-kàto’ iareo raho vaho finahako mora.
5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
Apoho himpoly mb’an-tane Mitsraime re, naho ho mpanjaka’e t’i Asore, amy t’ie mifoneñe tsy himpoly amako.
6 And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
Hininininike amo rova’eo i fibaray, handrotsake ty sakan-dala’e, naho hampibotseke, ty amy fikililia’iareo.
7 And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
Imanea’ ondatikoo ty hiola amako, ndra t’ie mikaike mb’ añ’Abo-Tia, leo raike tsy mañonjoñ’ Aze.
8 How shall I give you up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver you, Israel? how shall I make you as Admah? how shall I set you as Zeboim? my heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
Akore ty hampipohako azo, ry Efraime? Akore ty hanolorako azo, ry Israele? Akore te hampanahafeko amy Admà? ndra t’ie hanoeñe hoe Tsibiìme? mikoretse ty an-troko ao, naho hene niviañeñe o fiferenaiñakoo.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the middle of you: and I will not enter into the city.
Tsy hafetsako ty hasiahan-kaviñerako, tsy hibalike mb’amy Efraime handrotsake; amy te Andrianañahare iraho, fa tsy ondaty; t’i Masiñe añivo’ areo ao; tsy ho pok’eo an-kabosehañe iraho.
10 They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
Hañavelo am-pañorihañe Iehovà iereo; hitroñe manahake o lionao re; aa ie mitromoroñe, le hititititike boak’ ahandrefañ’añe ty ana’dahy maro.
11 They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, says the LORD.
Hanahake o voroñeo ty hiborofota’ iareo boake Mitsraime añe, naho hoe deho hirik’ an-tane Asore añe; ie hapoko añ’anjomba’ iareo ao, hoe t’Iehovà.
12 Ephraim compasses me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet rules with God, and is faithful with the saints.
Mañarikatoke ahy an-dañitse t’i Efraime, naho am-pamañahiañe ty anjomba’ Israele; Fa mbe mifehe aman’Añahare t’Iehoda, naho migahiñe amo raha miavakeo.
