Hosea 13
1 “When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but he became guilty because of Baal worship, and he died.
Ie nisaontsy ama-nevenevetse t’i Efraime le nonjoneñe e Israele ao, fe nizoeñe te aman-kakeo ty amy Baale, vaho nihomake.
2 Now they sin more and more. They make cast metal figures from their silver, idols as skillfully worked as possible, all of them the work of the craftsmen. People say of them, 'These men who sacrifice kiss calves.'
Ie henanekeo, mitolom-pandilatse avao, nampitranake saren-draha ami’ty volafoti’ iareoo, ty amo hilala’ iareo, toe samposampon-draha, fitoloña’ ty kante; anoa’iareo ty hoe: Angao horofa’ o mpanao soroñeo i bania rey.
3 So they will be like the morning clouds, like the dew that goes away early, like the chaff that is driven by the wind away from a threshing floor, and like smoke out of a chimney.
Aa le hanahake ty zono maraindray iereo, naho i mika am-pangoàñ’andro mihelañey; hambañe an-kàfo’e asiotsion-talìo boak’an-toe-pifofohañe eo, vaho hatoeñe boak’an-toñak’ ao.
4 But I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt. You must acknowledge no God but me; you must acknowledge that besides me, there is no other savior.
Fa izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’o boak’ an-tane’ i Mitsraime añe; aa le tsy hahafohin-drahare ila’e nahareo naho tsy Izaho; fa tsy eo ty mpandrombake naho tsy Izaho avao.
5 I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of great dryness.
Napotako an-dratraratra añe irehe, an-tane kankañe añe.
6 When you had pasture, then you became full; and when you were filled, your heart became lifted up. For that reason you forgot me.
Ie nifahanañe le niboboke, toe nianjañe, le nikavokavok’ an-troke, izay ty nandikofa’ iareo ahy.
7 I will become like a lion to them; like a leopard I will watch along the path.
Aa le liona am’ iereo iraho henaneo, hanampohako hoe farasy añ’olon-dalañeo.
8 I will attack them as a bear that is robbed of her cubs. I will rip open their chests, and there I will devour them as a lion, as a wild beast would tear them to pieces.
Hipoke am’iereo iraho hoe dòbe mandala handrimitse ty saron’arofo’ iareo; vaho habotseko hoe liona; ho rimiteko hoe biby hako.
9 I will destroy you, Israel; who will be able to help you?
Ry Israele, mampianto vatan-drehe, fa amako ty fañolorañ’azo.
10 Where now is your king, that he may save you in all your cities? Where are your rulers, about whom you said to me, 'Give me a king and princes'?
Aia ty mpanjaka’o handrombak’ azo an-drova’o iaby? Naho o mpizaka’oo nanoe’o ty hoe: Añomezo mpanjaka naho roandriañe?
11 I gave you a king in my anger, and I took him away in my wrath.
Tinoloko mpanjaka irehe ami’ty habosehako; vaho nasintako ami’ty fifomboko.
12 Ephraim's iniquity has been stored up; his guilt has been stored up.
Mifamahotse ty tahi’ i Efraime, mihaja ao o hakeo’eo.
13 Pains of childbirth will come on him, but he is an unwise son, for when it is time to be born, he does not come out of the womb.
Hivotrak’ama’e ty fitsongoan’ ampela; ie ana-dahy tsy mahilala, tsy ho nihenekenek’ ambavan-koviñe ao.
14 Will I rescue them from the hand of Sheol? Will I rescue them from death? Where, death, are your plagues? Where, Sheol, is your destruction? Compassion is hidden from my eyes.” (Sheol h7585)
Ho jebañeko ami’ty haozara’ i Tsikeokeokey hao? ho vilieko aiñe amy Havilasiy? O Havilasio, aia o angorosi’oo? O Tsikeokeokeo, aia o fandrotsaha’oo? Mietak’ amo masokoo ty tretre. (Sheol h7585)
15 Though Ephraim is prosperous among his brothers, an east wind will come; the wind of Yahweh will blow in from the wilderness. Ephraim's spring will dry up, and his well will have no water. His enemy will plunder his storehouse of every precious object.
Ndra te ie mibodobodo amo vindao, ho avy ty tiok’atiñanañe; hivovo boak’ am-patram-bey ao ty tio’ Iehovà, le ho maike i rano’e manganahanay, ho ritse i loha-rano’e nigoangoañey, ho haofe’e ty an-driha’e ao hañakatse ze hene vara’e sarotse.
16 Samaria will be guilty, for she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword; their young children will be dashed to pieces, and their pregnant women will be ripped open.
Ho vave’ i Somerone o tahi’eo, amy t’ie niody aman’Añahare’e; hampikorovohem-pibara; ho demoheñe an-damilamy o anak’ ajaja’ iareoo, ho boraheñe an-drimitse o rakemba mivesatseo.
