Hosea 12
1 Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily multiplieth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
Efraima homan-drivotra sady manenjika ny rivotra avy any atsinanana, mandritra ny andro dia ataony betsaka ny lainga sy ny fandozana; Manao fanekena amin’ ny Asyriana izy, ary diloilo no entina ho any Egypta.
2 The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
Manana ady amin’ i Joda koa Jehovah ary tsy maintsy mamaly an’ i Jakoba araka ny alehany, ka hatsingeriny aminy ny nataony.
3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
Fony mbola tany am-bohoka dia nihazona ny ombelahin-tongotry ny rahalahiny izy, ary rehefa lehibe izy, dia nitolona tamin’ Andriamanitra;
4 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us;
Eny, nitolona tamin’ Ilay Anjely izy ka nahery; Nitomany izy sady nifona taminy; Nahita azy tao Betela Izy, ary tao no niresahany tamintsika;
5 Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.
Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, Jehovah no hahatsiarovana Azy.
6 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually.
Koa miverena amin’ Andriamanitrao ianao; Tandremo ny famindram-po sy ny rariny. Ary miandrasa an’ Andriamanitrao mandrakariva.
7 He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.
Kanana eny an-tànany misy mizana miangatra, ny manambaka no tiany.
8 And Ephraim said, Yet I have become rich, I have found for myself substance: in all my labours they shall find no iniquity in me that were sin.
Fa hoy Efraima: Fiharian-karena ihany no efa nataoko, nahazo fananana aho; Ny asako rehetra tsy misy hahatonga fahotana na heloka amiko.
9 And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
Nefa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrao hatrany amin’ ny tany Egypta; Ary mbola hampiditra anao an-day indray Aho tahaka ny tamin’ ny fotoam-pivavahana.
10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
Efa niteny tamin’ ny mpaminany koa Aho, sady Izaho no nahabetsaka ny fahitana, ary ny mpaminany dia nampilazaiko ohatra.
11 Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
Raha tena heloka Gileada, dia ho tonga zava-poana tokoa izy; Tany Gilgala no namonoany omby betsaka ho fanatitra, koa ny alitarany dia ho toy ny korontam-bato eny am-bavasa any an-tsaha.
12 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
Jakoba nandositra ho any amin’ ny tany Syria, Isiraely nanompo hahazoany vady, eny, ny hahazoany vady no niandrasany ondry aman’ osy.
13 And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
Mpaminany no nentin’ i Jehovah nitondra ny Isiraely nivoaka avy tany Egypta, ary mpaminany koa no nentina niahy azy
14 Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return to him.
Nanao izay nahatezitra indrindra Efraima, ka dia havelan’ ny Tompony ho eo aminy ny ràny, ary hatsingeriny aminy ny vava ratsy nataony.
