Hosea 14
1 Ry Isiraely ô, miverena amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, fa lavon-keloka ianao.
Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, for you have stumbled by your iniquity.
2 Mitondrà teny ianareo, eny, miverena amin’ i Jehovah, ka manaova aminy hoe: Mamelà ny heloka rehetra, ary raiso izay tsara, ka dia haterinay ho fanatitra ny molotray.
Bring your confessions and return to the LORD. Say to Him: “Take away all our iniquity and receive us graciously, that we may present the fruit of our lips.
3 Asyria tsy hamonjy anay, tsy hitaingin-tsoavaly izahay sady tsy hiteny amin’ ny asan’ ny tananay intsony hoe: Ry Andriamanitray ô; Fa ao aminao no ahitan’ ny kamboty famindram-po.
Assyria will not save us, nor will we ride on horses. We will never again say, ‘Our gods!’ to the work of our own hands. For in You the fatherless find compassion.”
4 Hositraniko ny fiodinany, ho tia azy tsy vozonana Aho; Fa efa niala taminy ny fahatezerako.
I will heal their apostasy; I will freely love them, for My anger has turned away from them.
5 Ho tahaka ny ando Aho amin’ ny Isiraely; Hamony tahaka ny lilia izy, ary hamaka tahaka an’ i Libanona.
I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like the lily and take root like the cedars of Lebanon.
6 Hisandrahaka ny rantsany, ho tahaka ny an’ ny hazo oliva ny hatsaran-tarehiny, ary ho tahaka ny an’ i Libanona ny hanitra avy aminy.
His shoots will sprout, and his splendor will be like the olive tree, his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.
7 Izay mipetraka ao ambanin’ ny alokalony dia hampahavokatra vary indray, ary haniry tahaka ny voaloboka izy; Ny lazany ho tahaka ny an’ ny divay avy any Libanona.
They will return and dwell in his shade; they will grow grain and blossom like the vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ry Efraima ô, hataoko inona intsony izay sampy? Izaho dia efa nihaino ka nitsinjo anao; Tahaka ny hazo kypreso maitso Aho, avy amiko no hahazoana ny vokatrao.
O Ephraim, what have I to do anymore with idols? It is I who answer and watch over him. I am like a flourishing cypress; your fruit comes from Me.
9 Iza no hendry mba hahafantatra izany zavatra izany? Na manan-tsaina mba hahalala izany? Fa mahitsy ny lalan’ i Jehovah, ary ny marina no mizotra eny aminy; Fa ny mpanota kosa dia tafintohina eny aminy.
Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, and the righteous walk in them but the rebellious stumble in them.
