Hosea 2
1 Manaova amin’ ny rahalahinareo hoe: Amy, ary amin’ ny anabavinareo hoe: Rohama.
Say ye unto your brethren, 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;
Plead with your mother, plead; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: and let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries 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.
lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst;
4 Ary tsy hamindrako fo ny zanany, Satria zanaky ny fijangajangana ireny.
Yea, upon her children will I have no mercy; for they be children of whoredom.
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 played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
6 Koa, indro, hotampenako tsilo ny lalanao sady hasiako fefy, ary tsy hahita izay lalan-kalehany izy.
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will make a fence against her, 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.
And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it 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 know that I gave her the corn, and the wine, and the oil, and multiplied unto her silver and gold, which they used for 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 the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have 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 discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
11 Ary hatsahatro ny fifaliany rehetra, dia ny andro firavoravoany sy ny voaloham-bolany ary ny Sabatany, eny, ny fotoam-pivavahany rehetra.
I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
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 lay waste her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my hire that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field 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.
And I will visit upon her the days of the Baalim, unto which she burned incense; when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.
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 bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto 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 her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall make answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day 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 it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more 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 Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.
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 will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely.
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 betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20 Eny, hofofoiko ho vadiko amin’ ny fahamarinana ianao. Ka dia hahalala an’ i Jehovah.
I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know 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 shall come to pass in that day, I will answer, saith the LORD, I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer 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 answer the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall answer 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 wilt sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, [Thou art] my God.
