Hosea 2
1 Manaova amin’ ny rahalahinareo hoe: Amy, ary amin’ ny anabavinareo hoe: Rohama.
Say to your brothers, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
2 Mifandahara amin-dreninareo, eny, mifandahara fa izy tsy vadiko, ary Izaho tsy vadiny, ary aoka hesoriny ny fijejojejoany hiala eo amin’ ny tavany sy ny fijangajangany tsy ho eo an-tratrany;
Take up the cause against your mother, take it up, for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband; let her put away her loose ways from her face, and her false ways from between her breasts;
3 Fandrao hampihanjahanjaiko izy ka hataoko toy ny tamin’ ny andro nahaterahany, ary hataoko toy ny efitra sy ny tany karankaina izy, eny, hataoko matin-ketaheta izy.
For fear that I may take away her robe from her, making her uncovered as in the day of her birth; making her like a waste place and a dry land, causing her death through need of water.
4 Ary tsy hamindrako fo ny zanany, Satria zanaky ny fijangajangana ireny.
And I will have no mercy on her children, for they are the children of her loose ways.
5 Fa efa nijangajanga ny reniny, eny, ilay torontoronina azy efa nanao izay mahamenatra; Fa hoy izy: Hanaraka ireo lehilahiko ihany aho, Izay manome ahy ny hanin-kohaniko sy ny rano hosotroiko, sy ny volon’ ondriko sy ny rongoniko sy ny diloiloko ary ny fisotroko.
For their mother has been untrue; she who gave them birth has done things of shame, for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my wine.
6 Koa, indro, hotampenako tsilo ny lalanao sady hasiako fefy, ary tsy hahita izay lalan-kalehany izy.
For this cause I will put thorns in her road, building up a wall round her so that she may not go on her way.
7 Ary hiezaka hanenjika ireo lehilahiny izy, nefa tsy hahatratra azy; Eny, hitady ireo izy, nefa tsy hahita; Dia hanao hoe izy: Handeha hody amin’ ny vadiko taloha aho; Fa niadana aho tamin’ izay noho ny ankehitriny.
And if she goes after her lovers she will not overtake them; if she makes search for them she will not see them; then will she say, I will go back to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.
8 Ary tsy fantany fa Izaho no nanome azy ny vary sy ny ranom-boaloboka sy ny diloilo, sady nataoko be ny volafotsiny sy ny volamenany, izay nolaniny ho an’ i Bala,
For she had no knowledge that it was I who gave her the grain and the wine and the oil, increasing her silver and gold which they gave to the Baal.
9 Koa dia halaiko indray ny variko amin’ ny androny sy ny ranom-boaloboko amin’ ny taonany, ary haoriko ny volon’ ondriko sy ny rongoniko, izay nomena hasarony ny fitanjahany.
So I will take away again my grain in its time and my wine, and I will take away my wool and my linen with which her body might have been covered.
10 Ary ankehitriny hasehoko eo imason’ ireo lehilahiny ny fahamenarany, ka tsy hisy hahafaka azy amin’ ny tanako.
And now I will make her shame clear before the eyes of her lovers, and no one will take her out of my hand.
11 Ary hatsahatro ny fifaliany rehetra, dia ny andro firavoravoany sy ny voaloham-bolany ary ny Sabatany, eny, ny fotoam-pivavahany rehetra.
And I will put an end to all her joy, her feasts, her new moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her regular meetings.
12 Ary hofongorako ny voalobony sy ny aviaviny, izay nataony hoe: Tangiko avy tamin’ ireo lehilahiko ireto, ary hataoko ho tonga ala ireny ka hohanin’ ny bibidia.
And I will make waste her vines and her fig-trees, of which she has said, These are the payments which my lovers have made to me; and I will make them a waste of trees, and the beasts of the field will take them for food.
13 Ary hovaliako izy noho ny andron’ ireo Bala, izay efa nandoroany ditin-kazo manitra sady niravahany ny kaviny sy ny firavany, ka nanaraka ireo lehilahiny izy; Fa Izaho kosa nohadinoiny, hoy Jehovah.
And I will give her punishment for the days of the Baals, to whom she has been burning perfumes, when she made herself fair with her nose-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, giving no thought to me, says the Lord.
14 Koa, indro, Izaho dia hitaona azy ka hitondra azy ho any an-efitra ary hanao teny malefaka hahafinaritra azy.
For this cause I will make her come into the waste land and will say words of comfort to her.
15 Ary hatrany dia homeko azy ny tanim-boalobony sy ny lohasaha Akora ho varavaram-panantenana; Ary any no hamaliany toy ny tamin’ ny andro fahatanorany, dia toy ny tamin’ ny andro niakarany avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta.
And I will give her vine-gardens from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will give her answer there as in the days when she was young, and as in the time when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 Ary raha mby amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, dia hataonao hoe Aho Vadiko, fa tsy hataonao intsony hoe Balako.
And in that day, says the Lord, you will say to me, Ishi; and you will never again give me the name of Baali;
17 Fa hesoriko amin’ ny vavany ny anaran’ ireo Bala, ka tsy hotsarovana amin’ ny anarany intsony ireo.
For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and never again will she say their names.
18 Ary raha mby amin’ izany andro izany, Izaho dia hanao fanekena ho azy amin’ ny bibidia sy amin’ ny voro-manidina ary amin’ ny biby mandady sy mikisaka amin’ ny tany; Ary hotapatapahiko tsy hisy amin’ ny tany intsony ny tsipìka sy ny sabatra ary ny fiadiana, dia hataoko mandry fahizay izy;
And in that day I will make an agreement for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven and the things which go low on the earth; I will put an end to the bow and the sword and war in all the land, and will make them take their rest in peace.
19 Ary hofofoiko ho vadiko mandrakizay ianao, eny, hofofoiko ho vadiko amin’ ny rariny sy ny hitsiny ary amin’ ny fitiavana sy ny indrafo ianao;
And I will take you as my bride for ever; truly, I will take you as my bride in righteousness and in right judging, in love and in mercies.
20 Eny, hofofoiko ho vadiko amin’ ny fahamarinana ianao. Ka dia hahalala an’ i Jehovah.
I will take you as my bride in good faith, and you will have knowledge of the Lord.
21 Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hihaino Aho, hoy Jehovah, eny, hihainoa ny lanitra Aho, ary izy kosa hihaino ny tany;
And it will be, in that day, says the Lord, that I will give an answer to the heavens, and the heavens to the earth;
22 Ary ny tany kosa hihaino ny vary sy ny ranom-boaloboka ary ny diloilo; Ary ireo kosa dia hihaino an’ i Jezirela,
And the earth will give its answer to the grain and the wine and the oil, and they will give an answer to Jezreel;
23 Dia hafafiko ho Ahy amin’ ny tany izy; Ary hamindra fo amin’ i Lò-rohama Aho sady hanao amin’ i Lò-amy hoe: Oloko ianao; Ary izy kosa hanao hoe: Andriamanitro Hianao.
And I will put her as seed in the earth, and I will have mercy on her to whom no mercy was given; and I will say to those who were not my people, You are my people, and they will say, My God.
