Hosea 2
1 Manaova amin’ ny rahalahinareo hoe: Amy, ary amin’ ny anabavinareo hoe: Rohama.
Call ye your brethren My-people; and your sisters Pitied.
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;
Contend ye with your mother, contend! For she is not my wife, Nor am I her husband; That she put away lewdness from her face, And adultery from her breasts, Lest I strip her naked, And expose her, as when she was born;
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.
Lest I make her as the desert, and like a parched land, And kill her with thirst.
4 Ary tsy hamindrako fo ny zanany, Satria zanaky ny fijangajangana ireny.
Upon her sons also I will not have pity, For they are the sons of lewdness.
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 hath been guilty of lewdness; She that bore them hath brought upon herself shame; For she said, I will go after my lovers, Who give me my food and my water, My wool and my flax, my oil and my strong drink.
6 Koa, indro, hotampenako tsilo ny lalanao sady hasiako fefy, ary tsy hahita izay lalan-kalehany izy.
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her way with thorns, And I will enclose her with a wall, So that she shall not find her paths.
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.
When she followeth after her lovers, she shall not overtake them; When she seeketh them, she shall not find them. Then shall she say, I will go back to my former husband, For then it was better with 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 did not consider that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, And multiplied silver unto her, And gold, of which they made images of 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.
Therefore will I take back my corn in its time, And my new wine in its season, And I will take away my wool and my flax, Which covered her nakedness.
10 Ary ankehitriny hasehoko eo imason’ ireo lehilahiny ny fahamenarany, ka tsy hisy hahafaka azy amin’ ny tanako.
And now will I reveal her shame before the eyes of her lovers, And none shall deliver 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 cause all her joy to cease; Her feasts, and new moons, and sabbaths, And all her festal days.
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.
I will destroy her vines, and her fig-trees, Of which she said, These are my hire, Which my lovers have given me; And I will make them a forest, And the wild beasts shall eat them.
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.
I will punish her for the days of the Baals, When she burned incense to them, And decked herself with her rings and her jewels, And went after her lovers, And forgot me, saith Jehovah.
14 Koa, indro, Izaho dia hitaona azy ka hitondra azy ho any an-efitra ary hanao teny malefaka hahafinaritra azy.
Therefore, behold, I will allure her, And will lead her to the desert, And will speak kindly 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 thence will I give her her vineyards, And the valley of Achor for a door of hope; And there shall she sing, as in the days of her youth! As in the day when she came up from 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.
At that time, saith Jehovah, Thou shalt call me, MY HUSBAND; Thou shalt no more call me, MY BAAL;
17 Fa hesoriko amin’ ny vavany ny anaran’ ireo Bala, ka tsy hotsarovana amin’ ny anarany intsony ireo.
For I will take away the name of the Baals out of her mouth, And their name shall no more be uttered.
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;
At that time will I make for them a covenant With the beasts of the forest, and with the birds of heaven, And with the creeping things of the ground. The bow and the sword and the battle will I break from the land, And I will cause them to lie down in safety.
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;
I will betroth thee to me forever; Yea, I will betroth thee to me in righteousness, and in justice, And in kindness, and in tender love.
20 Eny, hofofoiko ho vadiko amin’ ny fahamarinana ianao. Ka dia hahalala an’ i Jehovah.
Yea, I will betroth thee to me in faithfulness, And thou shalt know Jehovah.
21 Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hihaino Aho, hoy Jehovah, eny, hihainoa ny lanitra Aho, ary izy kosa hihaino ny tany;
At that time will I hear, saith Jehovah; I will hear the heavens; And they shall hear 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 shall hear the corn, and the new wine, and the oil, And they shall hear 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 plant her for myself in the land; And I will have pity upon her that was called Unpitied; And I will say to them called Not-my-people, Thou art my people; And they shall say, Thou art my God.
