Osee 4

1 Hear the word of the Lord, you children of Israel: for the Lord [has] a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

Janjiño ty tsara’Iehovà: ry ana’ Israeleo; amy te atreatré’ Iehovà o mpimoneñe an-tane atoio. Fa tsy aman-katò, tsy mitretrè, tsy mahafohiñe an’ Andrianañahare ty an-tane ao.

2 Cursing, and lying, and murder, and theft, and adultery abound in the land, and they mingle blood with blood.

Te mone fàtse, naho lañitse, naho hohodan-doza, naho kametse, vaho hakarapiloañe ty itoloña’ iareo, le mifanoitoy ami’ty lio ty lio.

3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and shall be diminished with all that dwell in it, with the wild beasts of the field, and the reptiles of the earth, and with the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea shall fail:

Aa le handala ty tane, naho fonga hinìke ze mpimoneñe ao, naho o bibin-kivokeo naho o voron-dikerañeo; vaho hasese añe ka o fian-driakeo.

4 that neither any one may plead, nor any one reprove [another]; but my people are as a priest spoken against.

Asoao tsy ho liereñe tsy ho endakendaheñe, fa manahake ty mpifandietse ami’ty mpisoroñe ondatikoo.

5 Therefore they shall fall by day, and the prophet with you shall fall: I have compared your mother to night.

Aa le hikorovoke antoandro irehe, le hindre hihotrak’ ama’o ty mpitoky naho haleñe, vaho havetrako ty rene’o.

6 My people are like as if they had no knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall not minister as priest to me: and [as] you has forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

Rotsake ondatikoo fa po-hilala, aa kanao narinjèñe’o ty hihitse le hariako amo fisoroñañeo irehe; kanao nandikofa’o o Tsaran’Añahare’oo, le ho haliñoko ka o ana’oo.

7 According to their multitude, so they sinned against me: I will turn their glory into shame.

Ie nampitoaboreñe iereo àntsake t’ie nandilatse amako; aa le hafoteko ho fisalarañe ty asi’ iareo.

8 They will devour the sins of my people, and will set their hearts on their iniquities.

Fihinana’ iareo o engan-kakeo’ ondatikoo, vontitire’ iereo an-tro’e ao o tahi’ iareoo.

9 And the priest shall be as the people: and I will avenge on them their ways, and I will recompense to them their counsels.

Le zao ty ho ie te hiray ami’ty ondaty ty mpisoroñe; sindre ho liloveko ty amo sata’eo, vaho hondroheko ty amo fitoloña’eo.

10 And they shall eat, and shall not be satisfied: they have gone a-whoring, and shall by no means prosper: because they have left off to take heed to the Lord.

Hikama iereo fe tsy ho anjañe; hanao hakarapiloañe fe tsy hitombo, amy te napo’ iereo ty hañaoñe am’ Iehovà

11 The heart of my people has gladly engaged in fornication and wine and strong drink.

Mitavañe arofo ty hakarapiloañe, naho ty divay, vaho i divay vaoy.

12 They asked counsel by [means of] signs, and they reported answer to them by their staves: they have gone astray in a spirit of whoredom, and gone grievously a-whoring from their God.

Mihalaly hevetse am-poto-katae’eo ondatikoo, vaho manoiñe ty kobai’ iareo; fa nampandilatse iareo ty fañahin-kakarapiloañe, vaho nifarie’iereo t’i Andrianañahare’iareo.

13 They have sacrificed on the tops of the mountains, and on the hills they have sacrificed under the oak and poplar, and under the shady tree, because the shade was good: therefore your daughters shall go a-whoring, and your daughters-in-law shall commit adultery.

Mañenga soroñe am-bohitse ey iereo naho mañembok’ an-kaboañe ey, ambane’ o kileo naho o talìo, vaho o mendoraveñeo, o mañaloke soao; aa le handrato o anak’ ampela’ areoo, vaho hanao hakarapiloañe o ana-drahavavem-bali’ areoo.

14 And I will not visit upon your daughters when they shall commit fornication, nor your daughters-in-law when they shall commit adultery: for they themselves mingled themselves with harlots, and sacrificed with polluted ones, and the people that understood not entangled itself with a harlot.

Tsy ho tiliheko o anak’ampela’ areoo t’ie manao hakarapiloañe, naho o ana-drahavavem-bali’ areoo, t’ie mandranto fa mitrao-pañenga amo tsimirirañeo iereo, vaho miharo soroñe amo kalalijakeo; toe hihotrake ondaty tsy aman-kilalao.

15 But you, O Israel, be not ignorant, and go you not, [men of] Juda, to Galgala; and go not up to the house of On, and swear not by the living Lord.

Aa ndra te manao hakarapiloan-drehe Israele, ko ampandilare’o t’Iehodà; ko migodañe mb’e Gilgale, naho ko mionjomb’e Bet’avène mb’eo, vaho ko mifanta ty hoe Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà.

16 For Israel was maddened like a mad heifer: now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a wide place.

Fa midisa-voly manahake ty fidisa-volin-kiloa t’Israele; aa vaho ho fahana’ Iehovà hoe añondri-lahy midada iereo?

17 Ephraim, joined with idols, has laid stumbling blocks in his own way.

Kanao mitolon-tsamposampo t’i Efraime; adono ey.

18 He has chosen the Chananites: they have grievously gone a-whoring: they have loved dishonor through her insolence.

Fa maseñe ty divai’ iareo; ie mitoloñe hakarapiloañe avao; tea’ o mpifehe’oo ty haloloañe te ami’ty engeñe.

19 You are a blast of wind in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their altars.

Fa kinolopo’ i tiokey añ’ela’e ao iereo le ho salatse ty amo fisoroña’ iareoo
