Hosea 7
1 When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, also the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the gang of robbers ravages outside.
Raha ta-hanasitrana ny Isiraely Aho, dia miseho ny helok’ i Efraima sy ny faharatsian’ i Samaria, fa manao fitaka izy; Miditra ny mpangalatra, ary ny jiolahy manao andiany dia mandehandeha eny ivelany.
2 They don’t consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. Now their own deeds have engulfed them. They are before my face.
Ary tsy heveriny ao am-po fa tsarovako ny faharatsiany rehetra; Ankehitriny dia gejan’ ny nataony izy, efa tonga eo anatrehako izany.
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
Amin’ ny faharatsiany no ampifaliany ny mpanjaka, ary amin’ ny laingany ny mpanapaka.
4 They are all adulterers. They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
Samy mpaka vadin’ olona avokoa izy rehetra ka toy ny fatana voafanan’ ny mpanendy mofo, izay mitsahatra tsy misorona afo hatramin’ ny ametafetany ny koba ka ambara-pitombony.
5 On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He joined his hand with mockers.
Tamin’ ny andron’ ny mpanjakantsika dia nankarary tena tamin’ ny fanafanan’ ny herin’ ny divay ny mpanapaka; Nifandray tanana tamin’ ny mpaniratsira ny mpanjaka.
6 For they have prepared their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait. Their anger smoulders all night. In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
Fa entin’ ireo ho ao am-panotrehana ny fony, toy ny ho ao amin’ ny fatana; Mandritra ny alina dia matory ihany ny mpanendy azy, ary nony maraina dia toy ny lelafo mirehitra ny fatana.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one amongst them who calls to me.
Samy mahamay toy ny fatana izy rehetra ka mandevona ny andriambaventiny; Efa lavo avokoa, ny mpanjakany, tsy misy miantso Ahy izy rehetra.
8 Ephraim mixes himself amongst the nations. Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.
Efraima dia miharoharo amin’ ireo firenena; Efraima dia efa tonga ampempa tsy voavadika.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he doesn’t realise it. Indeed, grey hairs are here and there on him, and he doesn’t realise it.
Lanin’ ny vahiny ny heriny, nefa tsy fantany akory izany; Eny, efa mipi-bolo ihany izy, saingy tsy fantany.
10 The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they haven’t returned to the LORD their God, nor sought him, for all this.
Ary ny avonavon’ Isiraely dia vavolombelona manameloka azy; Nefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy miverina amin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny ihany izy, na mitady Azy.
11 “Ephraim is like an easily deceived dove, without understanding. They call to Egypt. They go to Assyria.
Ary Efraima dia efa tonga tahaka ny voromailala adaladala tsy manan-tsaina; Efa miantso an’ i Egypta izy ary efa mankany Asyria.
12 When they go, I will spread my net on them. I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
Raha vao mandeha izy, dia hovelariko aminy ny fandrika haratoko, ka hampidiniko ao toy ny voro-manidina izy; Hofaizako izy araka izay efa nambara tamin’ ny fiangonany.
13 Woe to them! For they have wandered from me. Destruction to them! For they have trespassed against me. Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
Lozan’ ireny! satria nandositra Ahy izy, haringana izy! satria niodina tamiko; Izaho ta-hanavotra azy, fa izy kosa dia lainga no entiny milaza Ahy.
14 They haven’t cried to me with their heart, but they howl on their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and new wine. They turn away from me.
Ary tsy mitaraina amiko ao am-pony izy, fa midradradradra foana ao am-pandriany; Mitangorona hitady vary sy ranom-boaloboka izy, dia miodina miala amiko.
15 Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet they plot evil against me.
Ary Izaho no nampianatra sy nanatanjaka ny sandriny, nefa izy kosa dia misaintsain-dratsy Ahy,
16 They return, but not to the Most High. They are like a faulty bow. Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Miverina ihany izy, nefa tsy ho amin’ ny Avo; Tonga tahaka ny tsipìka manjiona izy; Ho lavon-tsabatra ny mpanapaka azy noho ny firehitry ny lelany; Izany no ho latsany any amin’ ny tany Egypta.
