< Hosea 5 >
1 Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment [is] towards you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
Henoinareo izao, ry mpisorona, ary mandrenesa, ry taranak’ Isiraely; Ary atongilano ny sofinareo, ry mpianakavin’ ny mpanjaka; Fa ianareo no hihiran’ ny fitsarana, satria tonga fandrika ao Mizpa ianareo sy fandrika harato voavelatra ao Tabara.
2 And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I [have been] a rebuker of them all.
Ny mpivadika dia fatra-pamono; Fa Izaho kosa famaizana azy rehetra.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou art guilty of lewdness, [and] Israel is defiled.
Izaho mahalala an’ i Efraima, ary Isiraely tsy takona amiko; Ankehitriny dia tonga mpijangajanga ianao, ry Efraima, voaloto Isiraely.
4 They will not frame their doings to turn to their God: for the spirit of lewdness [is] in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.
Tsy avelan’ ny ataony hiverina amin’ Andriamanitra izy; Fa ny fanahim-pijangajangana no ao anatiny, ary Jehovah tsy fantany.
5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.
Ary ny avonavon’ Isiraely dia vavolombelona manameloka azy; Ary Isiraely indrindra fa Efraima, ho lavon-keloka; Joda hiara-davo aminy koa.
6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find [him]; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
Hitondra ny ombiny aman’ ondriny izy ka handeha hitady an’ i Jehovah. Nefa tsy hahita Azy; Jehovah efa niala taminy.
7 They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
Nivadika tamin’ i Jehovah izy, fa niteraka zaza sary; Ankehitriny dia ho levon’ ny voaloham-bolana izy mbamin’ ny zara-lovany.
8 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, [and] the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud [at] Beth-aven, after thee, O Benjamin.
Tsofy ao Gibea ny anjomara ary ny trompetra ao Rama! Miantsoa mafy ao Betavena! Inay! misy manenjika anao, ry Benjamina!
9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
Ho lao Efraima, raha mby amin’ ny andro fanamelohana; Izay tsy maintsy ho tò no nambarako tao amin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely.
10 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: [therefore] I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
Ny mpanapaka ny Joda dia efa tonga toy izay mamindra faritany, ka dia ireo no hampidinako ny fahatezerako toy ny fampidina rano.
11 Ephraim [is] oppressed [and] broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
Ampahorina Efraima sady voatorotoron’ ny fitsarana, satria ninia nanaraka didin’ olombelona izy,
12 Therefore [will] I [be] to Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
Koa amin’ i Efraima dia tahaka ny kalalao Aho ary amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda dia toy ny fositra.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah [saw] his wound, then Ephraim went to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet he could not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
Rehefa hitan’ i Efraima ny aretiny, ary Joda ny feriny, dia nantany amin’ ny Asyriana Efraima, eny, naniraka ho any amin’ i Jareba mpanjaka izy; Nefa izy tsy mahasitrana anareo, na mampanaritra ny ferinareo.
14 For I [will be] to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, [even] I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue [him].
Fa amin’ i Efraima dia tahaka ny liona Aho, ary amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda dia tahaka ny liona tanora: Izaho dia Izaho no mamiravira, dia lasa mandeha; Mahalasa Aho, ka tsy misy mahavonjy.
15 I will go [and] return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
Handeha hody any amin’ ny fitoerako Aho ambara-piaikiny ny helony sy hitadiavany ny tavako. Rehefa azom-pahoriana izy, dia hitady Ahy fatratra.
