Hosea 5
1 Henoinareo izao, ry mpisorona, ary mandrenesa, ry taranak’ Isiraely; Ary atongilano ny sofinareo, ry mpianakavin’ ny mpanjaka; Fa ianareo no hihiran’ ny fitsarana, satria tonga fandrika ao Mizpa ianareo sy fandrika harato voavelatra ao Tabara.
Hear this, O ye priests, and attend, ye house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king, for unto you pertaineth the judgment; for ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
2 Ny mpivadika dia fatra-pamono; Fa Izaho kosa famaizana azy rehetra.
And they that fall away are gone deep in making slaughter; and I am rejected of them all.
3 Izaho mahalala an’ i Efraima, ary Isiraely tsy takona amiko; Ankehitriny dia tonga mpijangajanga ianao, ry Efraima, voaloto Isiraely.
I, even I, know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from Me; for now, O Ephraim, thou hast committed harlotry, Israel is defiled.
4 Tsy avelan’ ny ataony hiverina amin’ Andriamanitra izy; Fa ny fanahim-pijangajangana no ao anatiny, ary Jehovah tsy fantany.
Their doings will not suffer them to return unto their God; for the spirit of harlotry is within them, and they know not the LORD.
5 Ary ny avonavon’ Isiraely dia vavolombelona manameloka azy; Ary Isiraely indrindra fa Efraima, ho lavon-keloka; Joda hiara-davo aminy koa.
But the pride of Israel shall testify to his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity, Judah also shall stumble with them.
6 Hitondra ny ombiny aman’ ondriny izy ka handeha hitady an’ i Jehovah. Nefa tsy hahita Azy; Jehovah efa niala taminy.
With their flocks and with their herds they shall go to seek the LORD, but they shall not find Him; He hath withdrawn Himself from them.
7 Nivadika tamin’ i Jehovah izy, fa niteraka zaza sary; Ankehitriny dia ho levon’ ny voaloham-bolana izy mbamin’ ny zara-lovany.
They have dealt treacherously against the LORD, for they have begotten strange children; now shall the new moon devour them with their portions.
8 Tsofy ao Gibea ny anjomara ary ny trompetra ao Rama! Miantsoa mafy ao Betavena! Inay! misy manenjika anao, ry Benjamina!
Blow ye the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah; sound an alarm at Beth-aven: 'Behind thee, O Benjamin!'
9 Ho lao Efraima, raha mby amin’ ny andro fanamelohana; Izay tsy maintsy ho tò no nambarako tao amin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely.
Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; among the tribes of Israel do I make known that which shall surely be.
10 Ny mpanapaka ny Joda dia efa tonga toy izay mamindra faritany, ka dia ireo no hampidinako ny fahatezerako toy ny fampidina rano.
The princes of Judah are like them that remove the landmark; I will pour out My wrath upon them like water.
11 Ampahorina Efraima sady voatorotoron’ ny fitsarana, satria ninia nanaraka didin’ olombelona izy,
Oppressed is Ephraim, crushed in his right; because he willingly walked after filth.
12 Koa amin’ i Efraima dia tahaka ny kalalao Aho ary amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda dia toy ny fositra.
Therefore am I unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
13 Rehefa hitan’ i Efraima ny aretiny, ary Joda ny feriny, dia nantany amin’ ny Asyriana Efraima, eny, naniraka ho any amin’ i Jareba mpanjaka izy; Nefa izy tsy mahasitrana anareo, na mampanaritra ny ferinareo.
And when Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Contentious; but he is not able to heal you, neither shall he cure you of your wound.
14 Fa amin’ i Efraima dia tahaka ny liona Aho, ary amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda dia tahaka ny liona tanora: Izaho dia Izaho no mamiravira, dia lasa mandeha; Mahalasa Aho, ka tsy misy mahavonjy.
For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah; I, even I, will tear and go away, I will take away, and there shall be none to deliver.
15 Handeha hody any amin’ ny fitoerako Aho ambara-piaikiny ny helony sy hitadiavany ny tavako. Rehefa azom-pahoriana izy, dia hitady Ahy fatratra.
I will go and return to My place, till they acknowledge their guilt, and seek My face; in their trouble they will seek Me earnestly:
