Hosea 11
1 Fony mbola zaza Isiraely, dia tiako izy, ary nantsoiko hiala tany Egypta ny zanako.
Just as the morning passes, so has the king of Israel passed by. For Israel was a child and I loved him; and out of Egypt I called my son.
2 Nony nisy niantso azy, dia vao mainka nandositra ireny izy; Ho an’ ireo Bala kosa no amonoany zavatra hatao fanatitra, ary ho an’ ny sarin-javatra voasokitra no andoroany ditin-kazo manitra.
They called them, and so they departed before their face. They offered victims to the Baals, and they sacrificed to graven images.
3 Fa Izaho no nampianatra an’ i Efraima handeha. Eny, notrotroiko tamin’ ny sandriko aza izy. Nefa tsy fantany fa Izaho no nahasitrana azy.
And I was like a foster father to Ephraim. I carried them in my arms. And they did not know that I healed them.
4 Tamin’ ny kofehy fitarihana olona no nitarihako azy, dia tamin’ ny mahazakan’ ny fitiavana; Ary efa toy izay manainga ny fehim-bava eo ambonin’ ny valanoranony Aho ka nanolo-kanina azy tsimoramora.
I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love. And I will be to them like one who raises the yoke over their jaws. And I will reach down to him so that he may eat.
5 Tsy hiverina ho any amin’ ny tany Egypta izy, fa Asyria no ho mpanjakany, satria tsy nety nibebaka izy.
He will not return to the land of Egypt, but Assur himself will be the king over him, because they were not willing to be converted.
6 Ary noho ny fisainany dia hisy sabatra hantsodina ao an-tanànany ka handrava sy handevona ny hidiny.
The sword has begun in his cities, and it will consume his elect and devour their heads.
7 Minia miodina amiko ny oloko; Ary na dia antsoiny ho amin’ ny Avo aza izy, samy tsy mety miainga akory.
And my people will long for my return. But a yoke will be imposed on them together, which will not be taken away.
8 Hataoko ahoana e no fahafoy anao, ry Efraima, na ho fanolotra anao, ry Isiraely! Hataoko ahoana e no fanao anao ho tahaka an’ i Adma! Hataoko ahoana e no fametraka anao ho tahaka an’ i Zeboïma! Onena ny foko, mafy loatra ny alaheloko.
How will I provide for you, Ephraim; how will I protect you, Israel? How will I provide for you as for Adam; will I set you like Zeboiim? My heart has changed within me; together with my regret, it has been stirred up.
9 Tsy hanontolo fo Aho, na handringana an’ i Efraima intsony; Fa Andriamanitra Aho, fa tsy olona, dia ny Iray Masìna ao aminao, ka dia tsy ho avy amim-pahatezerana mirehitra Aho.
I will not act on the fury of my wrath. I will not turn back to utterly destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, the Divine in your midst, and I will not advance upon the city.
10 Harahin’ ireny Jehovah, hierona toy ny liona Izy; Eny, Izy no hierona, dia hanatona amin-kovitra avy any andrefana ny zanaka.
They will walk after the Lord; he will roar like a lion. For he himself will roar, and the sons of the sea will dread.
11 Hanatona amin-kovitra avy any Egypta toy ny voronkely izy, ary avy any amin’ ny tany Asyria toy ny voromailala; Ka dia hampitoeriko ao an-tranony izy, hoy Jehovah.
And they will fly like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove from the land of the Assyrians. And I will arrange them in their own houses, says the Lord.
12 Efraima manodidina Ahy amin’ ny lainga, ary ny taranak’ Isiraely amin’ ny fitaka; Ary Joda mbola mikarenjy tsy manatona an’ Andriamanitra, dia ny Iray Masìna sy Mahatoky.
Ephraim has besieged me with denials, and the house of Israel with deceit. But Judah went down as a witness before God and the holy ones of faith.
