Hosea 8
1 'Unto thy mouth — a trumpet, As an eagle against the house of Jehovah, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled.
Ataovy eo am-bavanao ny anjomara! Fa hisy toy ny voromahery hipaoka ny tranon’ i Jehovah, satria efa nivadika ny fanekeko sy nandika ny lalàko ireo.
2 To Me they cry, 'My God, we — Israel — have known Thee.'
Izaho dia hitarainany hoe: Andriamanitro ô, izahay Isiraely mahalala Anao.
3 Cast off good hath Israel, an enemy pursueth him.
Ataon’ ny Isiraely ho zavatra maharikoriko ny soa; Ny fahavalo no hanenjika azy.
4 They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are cut off.
Ireny dia nanangana mpanjaka nefa tsy avy tamiko; Nifidy mpanapaka izy, nefa tsy fantatro; Ny volafotsiny sy ny volamenany no nataony sampiny mba hamongorana azy.
5 Cast off hath thy calf, O Samaria, Burned hath Mine anger against them, Till when are they not capable of purity?
Maharikoriko ilay ombilahy kelinao, ry Samaria; Mirehitra aminareo ny fahatezerako; Mandra-pahoviana no tsy ho tohanareo ny fahadiovana?
6 For even it [is] of Israel; an artificer made it, And it [is] not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!
Fa avy tamin’ ny Isiraely koa izany; Ny mpiasa no nanao azy, ka dia tsy Andriamanitra izy, fa ho torotoro ilay ombilahy kelin’ i Samaria.
7 For wind they sow, and a hurricane they reap, Stalk it hath none — a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield — strangers do swallow it up.
Fa rivotra no nafafiny, ary tadio no hojinjany; Tsy misy vary mitsangana, ny salohiny tsy hisy ventiny; Ary raha tàhiny hisy aza, dia ny olona hafa firenena no hihinana azy.
8 Israel hath been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.
Voatelina Isiraely; Ankehitriny dia efa tonga tahaka ny fanaka tsy mahafinaritra izy any amin’ ny jentilisa.
9 For they — they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild ass alone by himself [is] Ephraim, They have hired lovers!
Fa niakatra ho any Asyria izy Toy ny borikidia mandeha irery; Efraima dia nanangy ireo lehilahiny
10 Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.
Ary na dia nanangy tany amin’ ny jentilisa aza izy, dia hovoriko ankehitriny; Ary hihavitsy izy noho ny entan’ ny mpanjakan’ ireo mpanapaka.
11 Because Ephraim did multiply altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.
Fa Efraima nanao alitara maro hanotana, eny, efa nahazo alitara hanotana izy.
12 I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.
Na dia soratako ho azy ny teny betsaka amin’ ny lalàko aza, dia ataony ho toy ny zavatra tsy izy izany.
13 The sacrifices of Mine offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their iniquity, And inspect their sin, They — [to] Egypt they turn back.
Mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho Ahy izy, eny, mihinana ny henan’ izany, nefa tsy sitrak’ i Jehovah izany; Ankehitriny dia hotsarovany ny fahotany, ary hovaliany ny helony; Eny, izy ireny dia hiverina ho any Egypta.
14 And forget doth Israel his Maker, and buildeth temples, And Judah hath multiplied cities of defence, And I have sent a fire into his cities, And it hath consumed their palaces!
Efa nanadino ny Mpanao azy Isiraely ka nanorina trano vaventy, ary Joda nanamaro tanàna mimanda; Fa haterako afo ao an-tanànany, ka holevonin’ izany ny trano vaventiny.
