Hosea 4
1 'Hear a word of Jehovah, sons of Israel, For a strife [is] to Jehovah with inhabitants of the land, For there is no truth, nor kindness, Nor knowledge of God, in the land,
Mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ianareo Zanak’ Isiraely! Fa Jehovah manana ady amin’ ny mponina amin’ ny tany, satria tsy misy fahamarinana, na fitiavana, na fahalalana an’ Andriamanitra eo amin’ ny tany,
2 Swearing, and lying, and murdering, And stealing, and committing adultery — have increased, And blood against blood hath touched.
Fa fianianana sy lainga sy vonoana sy halatra sy fijangajangana kosa, eny, manao an-keriny izy ka mifanontona ny fandatsahan-drà.
3 Therefore mourn doth the land, And weak is every dweller in it, With the beast of the field, And with the fowl of the heavens, And the fishes of the sea — they are removed.
Ary noho izany dia mitomany ny tany ary reraka izay rehetra mitoetra ao aminy, dia ny bibi-dia sy ny voro-manidina; Eny, na dia ny hazandrano any anaty ranomasina aza dia ringana koa.
4 Only, let no one strive, nor reprove a man, And thy people [are] as those striving with a priest.
Kanefa aza misy mandahatra, na mananatra; Fa ny oloko dia efa tahaka ny mifanditra amin’ ny mpisorona.
5 And thou hast stumbled in the day, And stumbled hath also a prophet with thee in the night, And I have cut off thy mother.
Ka dia ho tafintohina antoandro ianao, ary ny mpaminany hiara-tafintohina aminao koa amin’ ny alina, ary hovonoiko ny reninao.
6 Cut off have been My people for lack of knowledge, Because thou knowledge hast rejected, I reject thee from being priest to Me, And thou forgettest the law of thy God, I forget thy sons, I also!
Ringana ny oloko noho ny tsi-fisian’ ny fahalalana. Satria ianao efa nandà ny fahalalana, dia mba holaviko kosa tsy ho mpisoroko intsony; Ary efa nanadino ny lalan’ Andriamanitrao ianao, ka dia mba hohadinoiko kosa ny zanakao.
7 According to their abundance so they sinned against Me, Their honour into shame I change.
Araka ny nitomboany no nanotany tamiko, ka dia hampodiko ho henatra kosa ny voninahiny.
8 The sin of My people they do eat, And unto their iniquity lift up their soul.
Ny fanatitra noho ny ota izay aterin’ ny oloko dia haniny ka satriny ihany ny ho diso ireny.
9 And it hath been, like people, like priest, And I have charged on it its ways, And its habitual doings I return to it.
Ary ho sahala ihany ny hanjo ny olona sy ny mpisorona; Dia hovaliako izy noho ny lalany, ary ny ataony dia hatsingeriko aminy.
10 And they have eaten, and are not satisfied, They have gone a-whoring, and increase not, For they have left off taking heed to Jehovah.
Ka dia hihinana izy, nefa tsy ho voky, hijangajanga izy, nefa tsy hihabetsaka, satria Jehovah efa tsy nahoany intsony.
11 Whoredom, and wine, and new wine, take the heart,
Fijangajangana sy divay ary ranom-boaloboka no mahalasa ny saina.
12 My people at its staff asketh and its rod declareth to it, For a spirit of whoredoms hath caused to err, And they go a-whoring from under their God.
Ny oloko dia mila saina amin’ ny tapa-kazony, ary ny tehiny no manambara aminy; Fa ny fanahim-pijangajangana no nampania azy, ary lasan-ko janga izy ka tsy manaiky an’ Andriamaniny.
13 On tops of the mountains they do sacrifice, And on the hills they make perfume, Under oak, and poplar, and terebinth, For good [is] its shade.
Eny an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra no amonoany zavatra hatao fanatitra, ary eny amin’ ny havoana no andoroany ditin-kazo manitra, dia eny ambanin’ ny hazo ôka sy ny popola ary ny terebinta, satria tsara alokaloka ireny; Koa izany no ijejojejoan’ ny zanakavavinareo sy ijangajangan’ ny vinantovavinareo.
14 Therefore commit whoredom do your daughters, And your spouses commit adultery, I do not see after your daughters when they commit whoredom, And after your spouses when they commit adultery, For they with the harlots are separated, And with the whores they do sacrifice, A people that doth not understand kicketh.
Tsy hamaly ny zanakavavinareo Aho, raha mijejojejo izy, na ny vinantovavinareo, raha mijangajanga izy; Fa ny tenanareo aza dia miavaka hankamin’ ny mpijangajanga sady mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra miaraka amin’ ireo vehivavy mpanolotena hijangajanga ho fanompoan-tsampy, ka dia ho lavo ny firenena tsy misaina.
15 Though a harlot thou [art], O Israel, Let not Judah become guilty, And come not ye in to Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-Aven, Nor swear ye, Jehovah liveth.
Na dia mijangajanga aza ianao, ry Isiraely. Aoka ny Joda tsy mba hanota; Ary aza mankany Gilgala na miakatra any Betavena ianareo; Ary aza mianiana hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah!
16 For as a refractory heifer hath Israel turned aside, Now doth Jehovah feed them as a lamb in a large place.
Fa ny Isiraely dia maditra toy ny vantotr’ ombivavy maditra; Ankehitriny dia handrasan’ i Jehovah toy ny zanak’ ondry eny amin’ ny malalaka izy.
17 Joined to idols [is] Ephraim, let him alone.
Tafaraikitra amin’ ny sampy Efraima; Aoka izy ho eo.
18 Sour [is] their drink, They have gone diligently a-whoring, Her protectors have loved shame thoroughly.
Efa lefy ny divainy; Mahery mijangajanga izy; Fatra-pitia henatra ireo mpanapaka azy.
19 Distressed her hath wind with its wings, And they are ashamed of their sacrifices!
Voapaoky ny elatry ny rivotra izy ka ho menatra noho ny zavatra novonoiny hatao fanatitra.
