< Hosea 7 >

1 “When I give healing to Israel, Then the iniquity of Ephraim is revealed, And the wickedness of Samaria, For they have worked falsehood, And a thief comes in, A troop has stripped off in the street,
Raha ta-hanasitrana ny Isiraely Aho, dia miseho ny helok’ i Efraima sy ny faharatsian’ i Samaria, fa manao fitaka izy; Miditra ny mpangalatra, ary ny jiolahy manao andiany dia mandehandeha eny ivelany.
2 And they do not say to their heart, [That] I have remembered all their evil, Now their doings have surrounded them, They have been before My face.
Ary tsy heveriny ao am-po fa tsarovako ny faharatsiany rehetra; Ankehitriny dia gejan’ ny nataony izy, efa tonga eo anatrehako izany.
3 With their wickedness they make a king glad, And with their lies—princes.
Amin’ ny faharatsiany no ampifaliany ny mpanjaka, ary amin’ ny laingany ny mpanapaka.
4 All of them [are] adulterers, Like a burning oven of a baker, He ceases from stirring up after kneading the dough, until its leavening.
Samy mpaka vadin’ olona avokoa izy rehetra ka toy ny fatana voafanan’ ny mpanendy mofo, izay mitsahatra tsy misorona afo hatramin’ ny ametafetany ny koba ka ambara-pitombony.
5 A day of our king! Princes have defiled themselves [with] the poison of wine, He has drawn out his hand with scorners.
Tamin’ ny andron’ ny mpanjakantsika dia nankarary tena tamin’ ny fanafanan’ ny herin’ ny divay ny mpanapaka; Nifandray tanana tamin’ ny mpaniratsira ny mpanjaka.
6 For they have drawn near, Their heart [is] as an oven In their lying in wait—their baker sleeps all night, Morning! He is burning as a flaming fire.
Fa entin’ ireo ho ao am-panotrehana ny fony, toy ny ho ao amin’ ny fatana; Mandritra ny alina dia matory ihany ny mpanendy azy, ary nony maraina dia toy ny lelafo mirehitra ny fatana.
7 All of them are warm as an oven, And they have devoured their judges, All their kings have fallen, There is none calling to Me among them.
Samy mahamay toy ny fatana izy rehetra ka mandevona ny andriambaventiny; Efa lavo avokoa, ny mpanjakany, tsy misy miantso Ahy izy rehetra.
8 Ephraim! He mixes himself among peoples, Ephraim has been an unturned cake.
Efraima dia miharoharo amin’ ireo firenena; Efraima dia efa tonga ampempa tsy voavadika.
9 Strangers have devoured his power, And he has not known, Also old age has sprinkled [itself] on him, And he has not known.
Lanin’ ny vahiny ny heriny, nefa tsy fantany akory izany; Eny, efa mipi-bolo ihany izy, saingy tsy fantany.
10 And the excellence of Israel has been humbled to his face, And they have not turned back to their God YHWH, Nor have they sought Him for all this.
Ary ny avonavon’ Isiraely dia vavolombelona manameloka azy; Nefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy miverina amin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny ihany izy, na mitady Azy.
11 And Ephraim is as a simple dove without heart, Egypt they called on—[to] Asshur they have gone.
Ary Efraima dia efa tonga tahaka ny voromailala adaladala tsy manan-tsaina; Efa miantso an’ i Egypta izy ary efa mankany Asyria.
12 When they go I spread over them My net, As the bird of the heavens I bring them down, I discipline them as their congregation has heard.
Raha vao mandeha izy, dia hovelariko aminy ny fandrika haratoko, ka hampidiniko ao toy ny voro-manidina izy; Hofaizako izy araka izay efa nambara tamin’ ny fiangonany.
13 Woe to them, for they wandered from Me, Destruction to them, for they transgressed against Me, And I ransom them, and they have spoken lies against Me,
Lozan’ ireny! satria nandositra Ahy izy, haringana izy! satria niodina tamiko; Izaho ta-hanavotra azy, fa izy kosa dia lainga no entiny milaza Ahy.
14 And have not cried to Me with their heart, but howl on their beds; They assemble themselves for grain and new wine, They turn aside against Me.
Ary tsy mitaraina amiko ao am-pony izy, fa midradradradra foana ao am-pandriany; Mitangorona hitady vary sy ranom-boaloboka izy, dia miodina miala amiko.
15 And I instructed—I strengthened their arms, And concerning Me they think evil!
Ary Izaho no nampianatra sy nanatanjaka ny sandriny, nefa izy kosa dia misaintsain-dratsy Ahy,
16 They turn back—not to the Most High, They have been as a deceitful bow, Their princes fall by sword, From the insolence of their tongue, This [is] their derision in the land of Egypt!”
Miverina ihany izy, nefa tsy ho amin’ ny Avo; Tonga tahaka ny tsipìka manjiona izy; Ho lavon-tsabatra ny mpanapaka azy noho ny firehitry ny lelany; Izany no ho latsany any amin’ ny tany Egypta.
