Hosea 1

1 Ny tenin’ i Jehovah, izay tonga tamin’ i Hosea, zanak’ i Bery, tamin’ ny andro nanjakan’ i Ozia sy Jotama sy Ahaza ary Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, sy tamin’ ny andron’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.

A word of YHWH that has been to Hosea, son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel:

2 Tamin’ ny niandohan’ ny nitenenan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Hosea dia hoy Jehovah taminy: Andeha ianao maka vady izay efa tena janga sy zanaky ny fijangajangana; fa fatra-pijangajanga miala amin’ i Jehovah ny tany.

The commencement of YHWH’s speaking by Hosea. And YHWH says to Hosea, “Go, take a woman of whoredoms for yourself, and children of whoredoms, for the land goes utterly whoring from after YHWH.”

3 Dia lasa izy naka an’ i Gomera, zanakavavin’ i Diblaima; ary dia nanan’ anaka ravehivavy ka nitera-dahy taminy.

And he goes and takes Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceives and bears a son to him;

4 Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Ataovy Jezirela no anarany; fa vetivety dia hovaliako ny taranak’ i Jeho noho ny rà nalatsaka tao Jezirela, ary hatsahatro ny fanjakan’ ny taranak’ Isiraely.

and YHWH says to him, “Call his name Jezreel, for yet a little, and I have charged the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and have caused the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease;

5 Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hotapahiko ao amin’ ny tany lemaka Jezirela ny tsipìkan’ Isiraely.

and it has come to pass in that day that I have broken the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”

6 Ary nanan’ anaka indray ravehivavy ka nitera-bavy. Dia hoy Jehovah taminy: Ataovy Lò-rohama no anarany; fa tsy hamindra fo amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely intsony Aho, eny, tsy havelako mihitsy ny helony.

And she conceives again, and bears a daughter, and He says to him, “Call her name Lo-Ruhamah [(Not Loved)], for I no longer pity the house of Israel, for I utterly take them away;

7 Fa ny taranak’ i Joda no hamindrako fo, ary Izaho Jehovah Andriamaniny no hamonjy azy, nefa tsy amin’ ny tsipìka, na amin’ ny sabatra, na amin’ ny ady, na amin’ ny soavaly, na amin’ ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly.

and I pity the house of Judah, and have saved them by their God YHWH, and do not save them by bow, and by sword, and by battle, by horses, and by horsemen.”

8 Ary rehefa notazana Lò-rohama, dia nanan’ anaka indray reniny ka nitera-dahy.

And she weans Lo-Ruhamah, and conceives, and bears a son;

9 Dia hoy Jehovah: Ataovy Lò-amy no anarany; fa ianareo tsy oloko, ary Izaho tsy ho Andriamanitrareo.

and He says, “Call his name Lo-Ammi [(Not My People)], for you [are] not My people, and I am not for you;

10 Kanefa, na dia izany aza, ny isan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia ho betsaka toy ny fasika amin’ ny ranomasina, izay tsy azo afatra sady tsy tambo isaina; ary any amin’ ny tany izay nilazana taminy hoe: Tsy oloko ianareo, dia any no hanaovana aminy hoe: Zanak’ Andriamanitra velona ianareo.

and the number of the sons of Israel has been as the sand of the sea that is not measured nor numbered, and it has come to pass in the place where it is said to them, You [are] not My people, it is said to them, Sons of the Living God;

11 Dia hiara-mivory ny taranak’ i Joda sy ny taranak’ Isiraely ka hifidy anankiray ho lohany izy, dia hiakatra hiala amin’ ny tany, fa ho lehibe ny andron’ i Jezirda.

and the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel have been gathered together, and they have appointed one head for themselves, and have gone up from the land, for great [is] the day of Jezreel.”
