Hosea 2
1 Say ye unto your brethren, O Ammi ["O my people"], and unto your sisters, O Ruhamah ["O compassionated one"]:
Anò amo roahalahi’ areoo ty hoe: Amý, naho aman-droahavave’ areo ty hoe; Rohamà
2 Contend ye with your mother, contend, for she is no wife of mine, and I am no husband of hers, Let her then put away her paramours from before her, and her partners in adultery, from her embraces:
Mifanjomora aman-drene’ areo; mifangatora; fa tsy tañanjombako, vaho tsy vali’e iraho. Aa le ampañafaho an-tarehe’e eo o hakarapiloa’eo naho añivo’ o fatroa’eo o hatsirimira’eo;
3 Lest I strip off her under-clothing, and set her forth to view, as in the day she was born, —and make her like a wilderness, and render her like a land that is parched, and suffer her to die of thirst;
tsy mone ho holireko, naho hapoko manahake i andro nahatoly azey, naho hanoeko hoe tane ratraratra, naho hadoko an-tane maik’ añe vaho havetrako an-karan-dranoañe.
4 And, on her children, not have compassion, —because, the children of paramours, they are.
Tsy hiferenaiñako ka o ana’eo fa anak’amontoñe.
5 For their mother, hath been unchaste, and she that conceived them, hath caused shame, —for she said, Let me go after my lovers! who used to give my bread, and my water, my wool, and my flax, mine oil, and my drink.
Toe nanao satan-tsimirira ty rene’iareo nimeñatse i nampiareñe iareoy; ie nanao ty hoe, ho paiako añe o sakezako mamahañe ahy mofo naho rano, ty volon’añondry naho ty leniko, ty menake vaho ty finomakoo.
6 Therefore, behold me! hedging up her way, with thorns, —and I will wall her in, and, her footpaths, shall she not find.
Aa le ingo, ho faherako fatike ty lala’o, vaho hañoreñako kijoly tsy hahatreava’e ty homba’e.
7 And, when she shall pursue her lovers, and not overtake them, and shall seek them and not find, then will she say, Let me go my way now! and return unto my first husband, for it was better with me, then, than, now!
Himanea’e orik’ amy zao o sakeza’eo fe tsy ho tra’e; ho paia’e iereo fa tsy ho trea’e; hanao ty hoe amy zao re, Homb’eo iraho himpoly mb’amy valiko valoha’ey mb’eo, fa nisoa te amo henaneo i henane zay.
8 But, she, owneth not, that, I, gave her—the corn, and the new wine and the oil, —silver, also increased I unto her, and gold—[which] they offered to Baal!
Fa namoea’e te nanjotsoako ampemba naho divay vaho menake; le nampitomboeko ama’e ty volafoty naho volamena nañamboare’ iareo Baaleo.
9 Therefore, will I again take away my corn, in the time thereof, and my new wine, in the season thereof, —and will recover my wool and my flax [given] to hide her shame.
Hibalike iraho le hendeseko ty ampembako añ’andro’e naho ty divaiko an-tsa’e, vaho hasintako i volon’añondrikoy naho i leny natoloko aze hanaroña’e ty fihaloa’ey.
10 Now, therefore, will I expose her unseemliness, before the eyes of her lovers, —and no, man, shall deliver her out of my hand!
Ie henane zao, le ho boraheko ty fimeñara’e am-pahaisaha’ o sakeza’eo, le tsy eo ty hahavotsots’ aze an-tañako.
11 And I will cause to cease all her mirth, her pilgrim-festival, her new moon and her sabbath, —and her every appointed meeting;
Fonga hajiheko o hafalefalea’eo, o sabadidam-pitontona’eo, naho o pea-bola’eo, naho o fitofa’eo vaho o hene androm-pamantaña’eo.
12 And will lay waste her vine and her fig- tree, as to which she hath said, A present, are they for myself, which my lovers, have given me, —and I will make of them a thicket, and the wild beasts of the field shall devour them.
Ho firaeko añe o vahe’eo naho o sakoa’eo; i natao’e ty hoey, Tàngeko ‘nio, natolo’ o sakezakoo ahiko; aa le hafotsako ho ratraratra izay ho fihina’ o bibin-kivokeo.
13 So will I visit upon her the days of the Baals, unto whom she used to burn incense, and decked herself with her nose-ring and her jewelry, and went her way after her lovers, —whereas, me, she forgat, Declareth Yahweh.
Hampitiliheko ama’e ty andro’ o Baaleo, i nañoroa’e tsotse rezay, ie niravake o bange’eo naho o fomela’eo, naho nitsoeke o sakeza’eo vaho nandikok’ ahy, hoe t’Iehovà.
14 Therefore, lo! I, am going to persuade her, and, though I conduct her forth into wilderness, yet will I speak unto her heart.
Aa le ingo t’ie ho sigiheko, naho hendeseko mb’am-patrambey mb’eo vaho hidiby aze an-troke.
15 Then will I give to her her vineyards from thence, and the vale of Achor ["trouble"] for a door of hope, —and she will respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
Le hatoloko aze ty tanem-bahe boak’añe, naho ty vavatane’ i Akore ho lalam-pampitamàñe; ie hisabo añe manahake tañ’andron-katora’e, hambañe amy andro niakara’e an-tane Mitsraime añey.
16 And it shall come to pass, in that day, Declareth Yahweh, that she will call me Ishi ["My husband"], and will not call me any more, Baali ["Mine owner"].
Amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà, le ho kanjie’o iraho ami’ty hoe Valiko, vaho tsy hatao’o Baale ka.
17 So will I take away the names of the Baals, out of her mouth, —and they shall not be called to mind any more, by their name.
Fa hasintako am-bava’e ao ty añara’ o Baaleo, vaho tsy ho toñoneñe ka o añara’eo.
18 And I will solemnize to them a covenant, in that day, with the wild-beast of the field, and with the bird of the heavens, and the creeping thing of the ground, —and, bow and sword and battle, will I break in pieces out of the land, so will I cause them to lie down, in security.
Ie amy andro zay, hanoeko fañina añivo’ iereo naho o bibin-kivokeo naho o voron-dikerañeo, naho o milaly an-tane eoo; le ho pozaheko ty fale naho ty fibara naho ty fihotakotaha’ ty tane toy vaho hampiroteko am-pierañerañañe.
19 And I will take thee unto myself, unto times age-abiding, —yea I will take thee unto myself, in righteousness and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in abounding compassion:
Le ho fofoeko ho ahy nainai’e; eka ho fofoeko ho ahy an-kavantañañe naho an-katò naho an-kafatraram-pikokoañe naho fiferenaiñañe;
20 Yea I will take thee unto myself, in faithfulness, —So shalt thou know Yahweh.
ie fofoeko ho ahy am-pigahiñañe, le ho fohi’o t’Iehovà.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will respond, Declareth Yahweh, I will respond to the heavens, —and, they, shall respond to the earth;
Ie amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà, le hamale iraho, ho toiñeko o likerañeo, vaho ho valè’ iereo i taney;
22 And, the earth, shall respond to the corn, and to the new wine and to the oil, —and, they, shall respond to Jezreel ["Whom GOD scattereth," "Whom GOD soweth"].
le hamale i ampembay naho i divaiy naho i menakey ty tane; vaho ho valè’ iareo t’Iezreèle.
23 So will I sow her unto me in the land, and will have compassion upon the uncompassionated one ["Lo-ruhamah"], —and will say to him who was No-people-of-mine ["Lo-ammi"], My people, thou art, and, he, shall say, My God!
Le ho tongiseko ho ahy an-tane ao re; naho ho ferenaiñako i tsy niferenaiñañey naho hataoko amo tsy ni-ondatikoo ty hoe: Ondatiko irehe; vaho hanoa’ iareo ty hoe: Andrianañahareko.
