< Hosea 13 >
1 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but when he became guilty in Baal, he died.
Raha niteny Efraima, dia nampangorohoro, ka nisandratra tao amin’ ny Isiraely izy. Dia nanota ny amin’ i Bala izy ka maty;
2 Now they sin more and more, and have made themselves molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen. They say of them, 'They offer human sacrifice and kiss the calves.'
Ary ankehitriny dia mandroso manota izy, fa ny volafotsiny no anaovany sarin-javatra an-idina ho azy, dia sampy araka ny fahaizany, izay asan’ ny mpiasa avokoa; Ireny dia lazainy hoe: Aoka hanoroka ny ombilahy kely izay olona mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra.
3 Therefore they will be like the morning mist, and like the dew that passes away early, like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, and like the smoke out of the chimney.
Koa ho toy ny rahona maraina izy sy ho toy ny ando izay levona, raha mbola maraina ny andro, sy ho toy ny akofa izay paohin’ ny rivotra hiala amin’ ny fa noloana, ary ho toy ny setroka avy amin’ ny varavarana makarakara.
4 "Yet I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt; and you shall acknowledge no god but me, and besides me there is no savior.
Fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrao hatrany amin’ ny tany Egypta, ary tsy mahalala Andriamanitra afa-tsy Izaho ianao, sady tsy misy mpamonjy afa-tsy Izaho.
5 I fed you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
Izaho dia nahalala anao tany an-efitra, dia tany amin’ ny tany mampangetaheta.
6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten me.
Araka ny ahitra teny aminy no nahavoky azy; Eny, voky izy, ka niavonavona ny fony; Koa izany no nanadinoany Ahy.
7 Therefore I am like a lion to them. Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.
Ka dia tonga toy ny liona aminy Aho, toy ny leoparda amoron-dalana no famitsako.
8 I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs, and will tear the covering of their heart. There I will devour them like a lioness. The wild animal will tear them.
Mamely azy toy ny famelin’ ny bera very anaka Aho, ka mandriatra ny sarom-pony, eny, any no andrapahako azy toy ny fandrapaky sy liom-bavy; Ny bibi-dia no hamiravira azy.
9 You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me, against your help.
Izao no maharingana anao, ry Isiraely ô; Manohitra Ahy Izay famonjena anao ianao.
10 Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? And your judges, of whom you said, 'Give me a king and princes?'
Aiza ary izay mpanjakanao, Mba hamonjy anao ao an-tanànanao rehetra? Ary aiza ireo andriambaventinao, izay nantsoinao hoe: Omeo mpanjaka sy mpanapaka aho?
11 I have given you a king in my anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.
Nomeko mpanjaka ianao tamin’ ny fahatezerako, ary nesoriko izy tamin’ ny fahavinirako.
12 The guilt of Ephraim is stored up. His sin is stored up.
Voafehy ny helok’ i Efraima, voatahiry ny fahotany.
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman will come on him. He is an unwise son; for when it is time, he doesn't come to the opening of the womb.
Fanaintainana tahaka ny vehivavy raha miteraka no mahazo azy; Zazalahy tsy hendry izy, fa raha tonga ny fotoana, dia tsy mba mandroso ho eo amin’ ny fiterahan-jaza izy.
14 I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death. Death, where is your victory? Sheol, where is your sting? "Compassion will be hidden from my eyes. (Sheol )
Havotako tsy ho azon’ ny herin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita izy; Hovonjeko ho afaka amin’ ny fahafatesana Izy; Ry fahafatesana ô, aiza ny aretina fandripahanao? Ry fiainan-tsi-hita ô, aiza ny fandringananao? Afenina tsy ho hitan’ ny masoko ny nenina. (Sheol )
15 Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come, the breath of the LORD coming up from the wilderness; and his spring will become dry, and his fountain will be dried up. He will plunder the storehouse of treasure.
Fa Efraima dia hahavokatra eo amin’ ny rahalahy; Nefa ho avy ny rivotra avy any atsinanana, dia ny rivotr’ i Jehovah miakatra avy any an-efitra, ka dia ho ritra ny loharanony, ary ho tankina ny fantsakany; Hobaboina ny rakitra, dia ny fanaka tsara rehetra.
16 Samaria will bear her guilt; for she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women will be ripped open."
Hovaliana Samaria noho ny helony, Fa niodina tamin’ Andriamaniny izy; Ho lavon-tsabatra izy, ny zanany madinika hotorotoroina, ary izay bevohoka eo aminy hotatahana.
