Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spoke trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, 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 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the 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 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind from the floor, and as the smoke from the 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 Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no God but me: for there is no saviour besides me.
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 did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
Napotako an-dratraratra añe irehe, an-tane kankañe añe.
6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
Ie nifahanañe le niboboke, toe nianjañe, le nikavokavok’ an-troke, izay ty nandikofa’ iareo ahy.
7 Therefore I will be to them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
Aa le liona am’ iereo iraho henaneo, hanampohako hoe farasy añ’olon-dalañeo.
8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the fat of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
Hipoke am’iereo iraho hoe dòbe mandala handrimitse ty saron’arofo’ iareo; vaho habotseko hoe liona; ho rimiteko hoe biby hako.
9 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thy help.
Ry Israele, mampianto vatan-drehe, fa amako ty fañolorañ’azo.
10 I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, 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 thee a king in my anger, and took him away in my wrath.
Tinoloko mpanjaka irehe ami’ty habosehako; vaho nasintako ami’ty fifomboko.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
Mifamahotse ty tahi’ i Efraime, mihaja ao o hakeo’eo.
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
Hivotrak’ama’e ty fitsongoan’ ampela; ie ana-dahy tsy mahilala, tsy ho nihenekenek’ ambavan-koviñe ao.
14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid 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 he is fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall plunder the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
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 shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
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.
