< Hosea 10 >

1 A luxuriant vine, is Israel, fruit, beseemeth him, —According to the abundance of his fruit, hath he brought abundance to the altars, according to the goodliness of his land, hath he made goodly statues.
Voaloboka misandrahaka Isiraely, mamoa ho azy izy; Araka ny habetsahan’ ny voany no nanaovany alitara betsaka, araka ny hatsaran’ ny taniny no nanaovany tsangam-baton-tsampy tsara tarehy.
2 Hypocritical is their heart, Now, shall they be held guilty, —He, will break down their altars, he will destroy their statutes.
Mamitaka ny fony, koa dia hovaliana izy izao noho ny helony; Jehovah no hanimba ny alitarany sy handrava ny tsangam-baton-tsampiny
3 For, now, will they say, We have no king, —for we revere not Yahweh, and what could, a king, do for us?
Amin’ izany dia hiteny izy hoe: Tsy mana-mpanjaka isika; Fa tsy natahorantsika Jehovah, koa hahavita inona ho antsika moa izay mpanjaka?
4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely, in solemnizing a covenant, —therefore shall judgment, spring up like a poisonous plant, on the ridges of the field.
Niteniteny foana izy tamin’ ny nianianany tsy tò sy ny nanaovany fanekena; Ka nitrebona toy ny zava-mangidy eny am-bavasa eny an-tsaha ny rariny.
5 About the calves of Beth-aven, will the inhabitant of Samaria be concerned, —for the people thereof, have mourned over it, and, the ascetics thereof, who, over it, used to exult, [shall mourn] for the glory thereof, because it hath departed therefrom.
Ny mponina any Samaria matahotra noho ny amin’ ny ombivavy kely ao Betavena; Fa ny olony mitomany azy,
6 Itself also, to Assyria, shall be borne along, as a present to a hostile king, —shame, shall Ephraim receive, that Israel, may be ashamed, of his own counsel.
Iny koa ho entina any Asyria ho fanomezana ho an’ i Jareba mpanjaka; Ho afa-baraka Efraima, eny, hangaihay Isiraely noho ny saina nataony.
7 Silenced is Samaria: her king, is as a chip on the face of the waters,
Ho rava Samaria, ny mpanjakany dia ho tonga toy ny sombin-javatra eny ambonin’ ny rano.
8 So shall the high places of Aven, be destroyed, the sin of Israel, Thorn and prickle, shall come up on their altars, —Therefore shall they say to the mountains, Cover us, and to the hills, Fall on us.
Ary ho rava koa ny fitoerana avo ho Avena, izay anotan’ Isiraely; Ho rakotry ny tsilo sy ny ahitra ratsy ny alitarany; Ary izy hanao amin’ ny tendrombohitra hoe: sarony izahay, ary amin’ ny havoana hoe: Mianjerà aminay.
9 Beyond the days of Gibeah, hast thou sinned, O Israel: there, came they to a stand, the battle against the sons of perversity, touched them not in Gibeah.
Hatramin’ ny andro fony tany Gibea no efa nanotanao, ry Isiraely; Nikikitra tany izy; Tsy nahatratra azy tany Gibea ny ady namelezana ny zanaky ny faharatsiana.
10 When I please, then will I chastise them, —and there shall be gathered together against them—peoples, they being harnessed to their two Iniquities;
Araka ny sitrako no hamaizako azy; Ary hovorina hamely azy ny firenena, amin’ ny hamatorana azy noho ny helony roa loha.
11 But, Ephraim, shall be a heifer broken in, loving to tread out corn, when, I, have passed over upon her fair neck, —I will drive Ephraim, Judah, shall plow, Jacob, shall harrow to him.
Ary Efraima dia tahaka ny ombivavy kely efa voafolaka ka faly hively vary; Ary hasiako zioga ny vozony tsara tarehy; Hampandehaniko Efraima; Joda hiasa tany, ary Jakoba handravona.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap ye at the bidding of lovingkindness, furrow to yourselves the newly-ploughed soil, —then will be the time to seek Yahweh, until he come, that he may rain down righteousness for you.
Mamafaza ho anareo araka ny fahamarinana, mijinjà araka ny fitiavana, hevoy ny tombam-borakareo; Fa izao no andro hitadiavana an’ i Jehovah ambara-pihaviny sy handatsahany fahamarinana aminareo.
13 Ye have plowed lawlessness, perversity, have ye reaped, ye have eaten the fruit of deception, —because thou didst trust in thy chariots, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
Niasa faharatsiana ianareo, ka fahadisoana no nojinjanareo; Nihinana ny vokatry ny lainga ianareo fa nitoky tamin’ ny alehanareo sy ny habetsahan’ ny lehilahy maherinareo ianareo.
14 Therefore shall there arise a tumult among thy peoples, and, all thy fortresses, shall be plundered, as Shalman plundered Beth-arbel, in the day of battle, —the mother, upon her children, dashed to the ground.
Dia hisy tabataba hamelezana ny olonareo, ka horavana ny tanànareo mimanda rehetra, toy ny nandravan’ i Salamana an’ i Bet-arbela tamin’ ny andro niadiana, ka torotoro avokoa ny reniny mbamin’ ny zanany.
15 Even so, hath Bethel, done to you, because of your exceeding wickedness, —in the dawn, shall the king of Israel be, utterly silenced.
Toy izany no hataon’ i Betela aminareo, noho ny haben’ ny faharatsianareo; Raha maraina ny andro, dia ho levona mihitsy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
