Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim speaketh tremblingly, He hath been lifted up in Israel, When he becometh guilty in Baal he dieth.
Raha niteny Efraima, dia nampangorohoro, ka nisandratra tao amin’ ny Isiraely izy. Dia nanota ny amin’ i Bala izy ka maty;
2 And now do they add to sin, And make to them a molten image of their silver, By their own understanding — idols, A work of artisans — all of it, Of them they say, who [are] sacrificers among men, 'The calves let them kiss.'
Ary ankehitriny dia mandroso manota izy, fa ny volafotsiny no anaovany sarin-javatra an-idina ho azy, dia sampy araka ny fahaizany, izay asan’ ny mpiasa avokoa; Ireny dia lazainy hoe: Aoka hanoroka ny ombilahy kely izay olona mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra.
3 Therefore they are as a cloud of the morning, And as dew, rising early, going away, As chaff tossed about out of a floor, And as smoke out of a window.
Koa ho toy ny rahona maraina izy sy ho toy ny ando izay levona, raha mbola maraina ny andro, sy ho toy ny akofa izay paohin’ ny rivotra hiala amin’ ny fa noloana, ary ho toy ny setroka avy amin’ ny varavarana makarakara.
4 And I [am] Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, And a God besides Me thou dost not know, And a Saviour — there is none save Me.
Fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrao hatrany amin’ ny tany Egypta, ary tsy mahalala Andriamanitra afa-tsy Izaho ianao, sady tsy misy mpamonjy afa-tsy Izaho.
5 I — I have known thee in a wilderness, In a land of droughts.
Izaho dia nahalala anao tany an-efitra, dia tany amin’ ny tany mampangetaheta.
6 According to their feedings they are satiated, They have been satiated, And their heart is lifted up, Therefore they have forgotten Me,
Araka ny ahitra teny aminy no nahavoky azy; Eny, voky izy, ka niavonavona ny fony; Koa izany no nanadinoany Ahy.
7 And I am to them as a lion, As a leopard by the way I look out.
Ka dia tonga toy ny liona aminy Aho, toy ny leoparda amoron-dalana no famitsako.
8 I do meet them as a bereaved bear, And I rend the enclosure of their heart.
Mamely azy toy ny famelin’ ny bera very anaka Aho, ka mandriatra ny sarom-pony, eny, any no andrapahako azy toy ny fandrapaky sy liom-bavy; Ny bibi-dia no hamiravira azy.
9 And I consume them there as a lioness, A beast of the field doth rend them.
Izao no maharingana anao, ry Isiraely ô; Manohitra Ahy Izay famonjena anao ianao.
10 Thou hast destroyed thyself, O Israel, But in Me [is] thy help, Where [is] thy king now — And he doth save thee in all thy cities? And thy judges of whom thou didst say, 'Give to me a king and heads?'
Aiza ary izay mpanjakanao, Mba hamonjy anao ao an-tanànanao rehetra? Ary aiza ireo andriambaventinao, izay nantsoinao hoe: Omeo mpanjaka sy mpanapaka aho?
11 I give to thee a king in Mine anger, And I take away in My wrath.
Nomeko mpanjaka ianao tamin’ ny fahatezerako, ary nesoriko izy tamin’ ny fahavinirako.
12 Bound up [is] the iniquity of Ephraim, Hidden [is] his sin,
Voafehy ny helok’ i Efraima, voatahiry ny fahotany.
13 Pangs of a travailing woman come to him, He [is] a son not wise, For he remaineth not the time for the breaking forth of sons.
Fanaintainana tahaka ny vehivavy raha miteraka no mahazo azy; Zazalahy tsy hendry izy, fa raha tonga ny fotoana, dia tsy mba mandroso ho eo amin’ ny fiterahan-jaza izy.
14 From the hand of Sheol I do ransom them, From death I redeem them, Where [is] thy plague, O death? Where thy destruction, O Sheol? Repentance is hid from Mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
Havotako tsy ho azon’ ny herin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita izy; Hovonjeko ho afaka amin’ ny fahafatesana Izy; Ry fahafatesana ô, aiza ny aretina fandripahanao? Ry fiainan-tsi-hita ô, aiza ny fandringananao? Afenina tsy ho hitan’ ny masoko ny nenina. (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he among brethren produceth fruit, Come in doth an east wind, a wind of Jehovah, From a wilderness it is coming up, And it drieth up his fountain, And become dry doth his spring, It — it spoileth a treasure — every desirable vessel.
Fa Efraima dia hahavokatra eo amin’ ny rahalahy; Nefa ho avy ny rivotra avy any atsinanana, dia ny rivotr’ i Jehovah miakatra avy any an-efitra, ka dia ho ritra ny loharanony, ary ho tankina ny fantsakany; Hobaboina ny rakitra, dia ny fanaka tsara rehetra.
16 Become desolate doth Samaria, Because she hath rebelled against her God, By sword they do fall, Their sucklings are dashed in pieces, And its pregnant ones are ripped up!
Hovaliana Samaria noho ny helony, Fa niodina tamin’ Andriamaniny izy; Ho lavon-tsabatra izy, ny zanany madinika hotorotoroina, ary izay bevohoka eo aminy hotatahana.
