Hosea 10
1 'An empty vine [is] Israel, Fruit he maketh like to himself, According to the abundance of his fruit, He hath multiplied for the altars, According to the goodness of his land, They have made goodly standing-pillars.
Voaloboka misandrahaka Isiraely, mamoa ho azy izy; Araka ny habetsahan’ ny voany no nanaovany alitara betsaka, araka ny hatsaran’ ny taniny no nanaovany tsangam-baton-tsampy tsara tarehy.
2 Their heart hath been divided, now they are guilty, He doth break down their altars, He doth destroy their standing-pillars.
Mamitaka ny fony, koa dia hovaliana izy izao noho ny helony; Jehovah no hanimba ny alitarany sy handrava ny tsangam-baton-tsampiny
3 For now they say: We have no king, Because we have not feared Jehovah, And the king — what doth he for us?
Amin’ izany dia hiteny izy hoe: Tsy mana-mpanjaka isika; Fa tsy natahorantsika Jehovah, koa hahavita inona ho antsika moa izay mpanjaka?
4 They have spoken words, To swear falsehood in making a covenant, And flourished as a poisonous herb hath judgment, on the furrows of a field.
Niteniteny foana izy tamin’ ny nianianany tsy tò sy ny nanaovany fanekena; Ka nitrebona toy ny zava-mangidy eny am-bavasa eny an-tsaha ny rariny.
5 For the calves of Beth-Aven fear do inhabitants of Samaria, Surely mourned on account of it hath its people, And its priests on account of it leap about, Because of its honour, for it hath removed from it,
Ny mponina any Samaria matahotra noho ny amin’ ny ombivavy kely ao Betavena; Fa ny olony mitomany azy,
6 Also it to Asshur is carried, a present to a warlike king, Shame doth Ephraim receive, And ashamed is Israel of its own counsel.
Iny koa ho entina any Asyria ho fanomezana ho an’ i Jareba mpanjaka; Ho afa-baraka Efraima, eny, hangaihay Isiraely noho ny saina nataony.
7 Cut off is Samaria! Its king [is] as a chip on the face of the waters.
Ho rava Samaria, ny mpanjakany dia ho tonga toy ny sombin-javatra eny ambonin’ ny rano.
8 And destroyed have been high places of Aven, the sin of Israel. Thorn and bramble go up on their altars, And they have said to hills, Cover us, And to heights, Fall upon us.
Ary ho rava koa ny fitoerana avo ho Avena, izay anotan’ Isiraely; Ho rakotry ny tsilo sy ny ahitra ratsy ny alitarany; Ary izy hanao amin’ ny tendrombohitra hoe: sarony izahay, ary amin’ ny havoana hoe: Mianjerà aminay.
9 From the days of Gibeah thou hast sinned, O Israel, There they have stood, Not overtake them in Gibeah doth battle, Because of sons of perverseness.
Hatramin’ ny andro fony tany Gibea no efa nanotanao, ry Isiraely; Nikikitra tany izy; Tsy nahatratra azy tany Gibea ny ady namelezana ny zanaky ny faharatsiana.
10 When I desire, then I do bind them, And gathered against them have peoples, When they bind themselves to their two iniquities.
Araka ny sitrako no hamaizako azy; Ary hovorina hamely azy ny firenena, amin’ ny hamatorana azy noho ny helony roa loha.
11 And Ephraim [is] a trained heifer — loving to thresh, And I — I have passed over on the goodness of its neck, I cause [one] to ride Ephraim, Plough doth Judah, harrow for him doth Jacob.
Ary Efraima dia tahaka ny ombivavy kely efa voafolaka ka faly hively vary; Ary hasiako zioga ny vozony tsara tarehy; Hampandehaniko Efraima; Joda hiasa tany, ary Jakoba handravona.
12 Sow for yourselves in righteousness, Reap according to loving-kindness, Till for yourselves tillage of knowledge, To seek Jehovah, Till he come and shew righteousness to you.
Mamafaza ho anareo araka ny fahamarinana, mijinjà araka ny fitiavana, hevoy ny tombam-borakareo; Fa izao no andro hitadiavana an’ i Jehovah ambara-pihaviny sy handatsahany fahamarinana aminareo.
13 Ye have ploughed wickedness, Perversity ye have reaped, Ye have eaten the fruit of lying, For thou hast trusted in thy way, In the abundance of thy might.
Niasa faharatsiana ianareo, ka fahadisoana no nojinjanareo; Nihinana ny vokatry ny lainga ianareo fa nitoky tamin’ ny alehanareo sy ny habetsahan’ ny lehilahy maherinareo ianareo.
14 And rise doth a tumult among thy people, And all thy fortresses are spoiled, As the spoiling of Shalman of Beth-Arbel, In a day of battle, Mother against sons dashed in pieces.
Dia hisy tabataba hamelezana ny olonareo, ka horavana ny tanànareo mimanda rehetra, toy ny nandravan’ i Salamana an’ i Bet-arbela tamin’ ny andro niadiana, ka torotoro avokoa ny reniny mbamin’ ny zanany.
15 Thus hath Beth-El done to you, Because of the evil of your wickedness, In the dawn cut off utterly is a king of Israel!
Toy izany no hataon’ i Betela aminareo, noho ny haben’ ny faharatsianareo; Raha maraina ny andro, dia ho levona mihitsy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
