Hosea 11
1 “Because Israel [is] a youth, and I love him, Out of Egypt I have called for My Son.
Fony mbola zaza Isiraely, dia tiako izy, ary nantsoiko hiala tany Egypta ny zanako.
2 They have called to them correctly, They have gone from before them, They sacrifice to lords, And make incense to carved images.
Nony nisy niantso azy, dia vao mainka nandositra ireny izy; Ho an’ ireo Bala kosa no amonoany zavatra hatao fanatitra, ary ho an’ ny sarin-javatra voasokitra no andoroany ditin-kazo manitra.
3 And I have caused Ephraim to go on foot, Taking them by their arms, And they have not known that I strengthened them.
Fa Izaho no nampianatra an’ i Efraima handeha. Eny, notrotroiko tamin’ ny sandriko aza izy. Nefa tsy fantany fa Izaho no nahasitrana azy.
4 I draw them with cords of man, With thick cords of love, And I am to them as a raiser up of a yoke on their jaws, And I incline to him—I feed [him].
Tamin’ ny kofehy fitarihana olona no nitarihako azy, dia tamin’ ny mahazakan’ ny fitiavana; Ary efa toy izay manainga ny fehim-bava eo ambonin’ ny valanoranony Aho ka nanolo-kanina azy tsimoramora.
5 He does not return to the land of Egypt, And Asshur—he [is] his king, For they have refused to return.
Tsy hiverina ho any amin’ ny tany Egypta izy, fa Asyria no ho mpanjakany, satria tsy nety nibebaka izy.
6 The sword has been grievous in his cities, And it has ended his bars, and consumed—from their own counsels.
Ary noho ny fisainany dia hisy sabatra hantsodina ao an-tanànany ka handrava sy handevona ny hidiny.
7 And My people are hanging in suspense about My returning, And to the Most High they call, Together they do not exalt.
Minia miodina amiko ny oloko; Ary na dia antsoiny ho amin’ ny Avo aza izy, samy tsy mety miainga akory.
8 How do I give you up, O Ephraim? Do I deliver you up, O Israel? How do I make you as Admah? Do I set you as Zeboim? My heart is turned in Me, My sympathy has been kindled together.
Hataoko ahoana e no fahafoy anao, ry Efraima, na ho fanolotra anao, ry Isiraely! Hataoko ahoana e no fanao anao ho tahaka an’ i Adma! Hataoko ahoana e no fametraka anao ho tahaka an’ i Zeboïma! Onena ny foko, mafy loatra ny alaheloko.
9 I do not do the fierceness of My anger, I do not turn back to destroy Ephraim, For I [am] God, and not a man—The Holy One in your midst, and I do not enter in enmity.
Tsy hanontolo fo Aho, na handringana an’ i Efraima intsony; Fa Andriamanitra Aho, fa tsy olona, dia ny Iray Masìna ao aminao, ka dia tsy ho avy amim-pahatezerana mirehitra Aho.
10 They go after YHWH—He roars as a lion, When He roars, then the sons from the west tremble.
Harahin’ ireny Jehovah, hierona toy ny liona Izy; Eny, Izy no hierona, dia hanatona amin-kovitra avy any andrefana ny zanaka.
11 They tremble as a sparrow out of Egypt, And as a dove out of the land of Asshur, And I have caused them to dwell in their own houses,” A declaration of YHWH.
Hanatona amin-kovitra avy any Egypta toy ny voronkely izy, ary avy any amin’ ny tany Asyria toy ny voromailala; Ka dia hampitoeriko ao an-tranony izy, hoy Jehovah.
12 “Ephraim has surrounded Me with feigning, And the house of Israel with deceit. And Judah is again ruling with God, And [is] faithful with the Holy Ones!”
Efraima manodidina Ahy amin’ ny lainga, ary ny taranak’ Isiraely amin’ ny fitaka; Ary Joda mbola mikarenjy tsy manatona an’ Andriamanitra, dia ny Iray Masìna sy Mahatoky.
