Hosea 8
1 “Place a trumpet at your lips! An eagle is coming over the house of Yahweh because the people have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.
Ano am-palie’o eo i antsivay, hihelañe mb’añ’anjomba’ Iehovà mb’eo re hoe vantio, amy t’ie nivalik’ amy fañinakoy vaho niola amo Fanoroakoo.
2 They cry out to me, 'My God, we in Israel know you.'
Hitoreo amako hao t’Israele: Ry Andrianañahare, fa nahafohiñ’Azo zahay.
3 But Israel has rejected what is good, and the enemy will pursue him.
Fa nahifi’ Israele añe ty soa; horidañe’ o rafelahio iereo.
4 They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made princes, but without my knowledge. With their silver and gold they have made idols for themselves, but it was only so they might be cut off.”
Nampijadoñe mpifeleke iereo, fe tsy boak’ amako; manam-pifehe, fe nofiko; nanoe’ iereo ndrahare avao o volafoty naho volamena’ iareoo, soa te haitoañe.
5 “Your calf has been rejected, Samaria. My anger is burning against these people. For how long will they stay guilty?
I bania’oy ry Somerone, ty nañitoañ’ azo; misolebotse ama’o ty habosehako; ampara’ te ombia t’ie hahatakatse lio-hakeo?
6 For this idol came from Israel; a workman made it; it is not God! The calf of Samaria will be broken to pieces.
F’ie boak’ am’ Israele; rinanjim-pitoroñe; toe tsy Andrianañahare; le ho demoheñe i bania’ i Somerone rey.
7 For the people sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no heads; it yields no flour. If it does come to maturity, foreigners will devour it.
Nitongy i tiokey iereo, vaho ho tatahe’ iereo ty tangololahy; tsy hanam-bokatse iereo; tsy hiborake ty taho’e fe ndra t’ie hamokatse, habotse’ ty ambahiny.
8 Israel is swallowed up; now they lie among the nations like something useless.
Fa nagodrañe t’Israele; le hoe fanake tsy vara amo kilakila’ ondatio,
9 For they went up to Assyria like a wild donkey all alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for herself.
amy te nionjomb’Asore mb’eo, i borìke lý mirerererey; manambe sakeza t’i Efraime.
10 Even though they have hired lovers among the nations, I will now gather them together. They will begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of princes.
Aa ndra t’ie nandeta-vatañe amo fifeheañeo, hatontoko henaneo, ie fa ninìke ty amy nampijiniam-panjaka naho o roandriañeo.
11 For Ephraim has multiplied altars for sin offerings, but they have become altars for committing sins instead.
Nampitombo kitrely handilara’e t’i Efraime; hakeo ama’e i kitrely rey.
12 I could write down my law for them ten thousand times, but they would view it as something strange to them.
Sinokiko ama’e ty raha maro amy Fanoroakoy fe natao’e ho raha ankafaankafa.
13 As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice meat and eat it, but I, Yahweh, do not accept them. Now I will think about their iniquity and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt.
Banabanae’ iereo soron-draho, isoroña’ iareo hena naho kamae’e; fe tsy no’ Iehovà; ho tiahi’e o tahi’ iareoo, vaho ho vale’e o hakeo’ iareoo; himpoly mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo iereo.
14 Israel has forgotten me, his Maker, and has built palaces. Judah has fortified many cities, but I will send fire on his cities; it will destroy his fortresses.
Amy te nandikofa’Israele i Mpitsene azey, vaho nandranjy anjomba bey; fa nampitombo kijoly t’Iakobe; aa le hañirahako afo o rova’eo, fonga habotse’e o anjomba’eo.
