Hosea 10
1 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.
Israel is a luxuriant vine, which putteth forth his fruit: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath multiplied his altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly pillars.
2 Mamitaka ny fony, koa dia hovaliana izy izao noho ny helony; Jehovah no hanimba ny alitarany sy handrava ny tsangam-baton-tsampiny
Their heart is divided; now shall they be found guilty: he shall smite their altars, he shall spoil their pillars.
3 Amin’ izany dia hiteny izy hoe: Tsy mana-mpanjaka isika; Fa tsy natahorantsika Jehovah, koa hahavita inona ho antsika moa izay mpanjaka?
Surely now shall they say, We have no king: for we fear not the LORD; and the king, what can he do for us?
4 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.
They speak [vain] words, swearing falsely in making covenants: therefore judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
5 Ny mponina any Samaria matahotra noho ny amin’ ny ombivavy kely ao Betavena; Fa ny olony mitomany azy,
The inhabitants of Samaria shall be in terror for the calves of Beth-aven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced over it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
6 Iny koa ho entina any Asyria ho fanomezana ho an’ i Jareba mpanjaka; Ho afa-baraka Efraima, eny, hangaihay Isiraely noho ny saina nataony.
It also shall be carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
7 Ho rava Samaria, ny mpanjakany dia ho tonga toy ny sombin-javatra eny ambonin’ ny rano.
[As for] Samaria, her king is cut off, as foam upon the water.
8 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.
The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
9 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.
O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood; that the battle against the children of iniquity should not overtake them in Gibeah.
10 Araka ny sitrako no hamaizako azy; Ary hovorina hamely azy ny firenena, amin’ ny hamatorana azy noho ny helony roa loha.
When it is my desire, I will chastise them; and the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they are bound to their two transgressions.
11 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.
And Ephraim is an heifer that is taught, that loveth to tread out [the corn]; but I have passed over upon her fair neck: I will set a rider on Ephraim; Judah shall plow, Jacob shall break his clods.
12 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.
Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
13 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.
Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: for thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
14 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.
Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
15 Toy izany no hataon’ i Betela aminareo, noho ny haben’ ny faharatsianareo; Raha maraina ny andro, dia ho levona mihitsy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
So shall Beth-el do unto you because of your great wickedness: at daybreak shall the king of Israel be utterly cut off.
