Hosea 7
1 When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, also the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the gang of robbers ravages outside.
Ie ho nanàha Israele iraho, le niafa-takoñe ty hakeo’ i Efraime, naho ty halò-tsere’ i Somerone; fa nitolom-pamañahiañe; mimoak’ ao ty mpikizo vaho mitavañe alafe eo ty malaso mpifañosoñe.
2 They do not consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. Now their own deeds have engulfed them. They are before my face.
Toe tsy tsakoré’ iareo añ’arofo ao te hene tiahiko ty halò-tsere’ iareo; miarikoboñe iareo ty sata’ iareo, aolo’ ty tareheko eo.
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
Ampifalea’ iareo i mpanjakay amo sata-rati’ iareoo, naho o roandriañeo amo fandañira’eo.
4 They are all adulterers. They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
Fonga mpañarapilo manahake ty toñake finana’ i mpanoñakey ie tsy nasoro’e sikal’ami’ty fibokobokoan-kòba ampara’ ty fiboenara’e.
5 On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He joined his hand with mockers.
Tañ’ andro’ i mpanjakan-tikañey, nisilofe’ ty hamaen-divay o roandriañeo, ie nañoho-pitañe amo mpandrabioñeo.
6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait. Their baker sleeps all the night. In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
Fa hinalankañe hoe toñake ty arofo’ iareo, ie mirekak’ avao te haleñe ie mirotse avao i mpanoñakey; le ie maraindray, miforehetse hoe afo milebaleba.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one among them who calls to me.
Manao hamaen-toñake iaby, fa finorototo’ iareo o mpizaka’eo; le fonga nihotrake o mpanjaka’eo; leo raike tsy mikanjy ahy.
8 Ephraim, he mixes himself among the nations. Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.
Efraime: mpitraok’ amo ambahinio, hoe mokary tsy navalike t’i Efraime.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he doesn't realize it. Indeed, gray hairs are here and there on him, and he doesn't realize it.
Nabotse’ o ambahinio ty haozara’e, fe amoea’e; eka etia naho atia ama’e ty maròy foty, fe tsy rendre’e.
10 The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they haven't returned to the LORD their God, nor sought him, for all this.
Mitalily an-dahara’e ty fisengea’ Israele, fe mboe tsy nimpoly am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’e, vaho mb’e mboe tsy mipay Aze iereo amy hoe zay iaby.
11 "Ephraim is like an easily deceived dove, without understanding. They call to Egypt. They go to Assyria.
Manahake deho minè t’i Efraime, tsy mahafohiñe; koihe’ iereo ty Mitsraime vaho mionjomb’e Asore mb’eo.
12 When they go, I will spread my net on them. I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
Handafihako harato iereo te mañavelo; ho tariheko mañambane manahake o voron-dikerañeo; ho liloveko iereo amy nitalilieñe amy fivori’ iareoy.
13 Woe to them. For they have wandered from me. Destruction to them. For they have trespassed against me. Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
Hankàñe ama’e! fa nandripàke amako; firotsahañe am’ iereo fa niola amako! Ho nijebañeko f’ie nifosa vande.
14 They haven't cried to me with their heart, but they wail on their beds. They cut themselves for grain and new wine. They turn away from me.
Mboe tsy nitoreo amako boak’añ’arofo iereo, ndra t’ie mangolalaik’ am-pandreañ’ao; nifanontoñe ty amy ampembay naho i divay vaoy, fe iambohoa’ iareo iraho.
15 Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet they plot evil against me.
Ndra t’ie naòko, naho nampifatrareko o sira’ iareoo, mbe ikinia’ iareo haratiañe avao.
16 They return, but not to the Most High. They are like a faulty bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Nibalike iereo, fe tsy mañambone hoe fale am-pañahy; ho tsingoroem-pibara o roandria’eo ami’ty firengevoham-pamele’ iareo, izay ty ho fandrambioñañe iareo an-tane Mitsraime añe.
