Hosea 6
1 Andeha hiverina ho amin’ i Jehovah isika; Fa Izy no namiravira, ary Izy ihany no hahasitrana antsika; Izy no namely, ary Izy no hamehy ny ferintsika.
In their tribulation, they will arise early to me. Come, let us return to the Lord.
2 Rehefa afaka indroa andro, dia hovelominy indray isika; Ary amin’ ny andro fahatelo, dia hatsangany ho velona eo anatrehany isika
For he has seized us, and he will heal us. He will strike, and he will cure us.
3 Dia aoka hahalala, eny, aoka hiezaka hahalala an’ i Jehovah isika; Mahatoky toy ny maraina ny fiposahany, dia ho avy amintsika toy ny ranonorana mivatravatra Izy, sy toy ny fara orana izay mahavonto ny tany.
He will revive us after two days; on the third day he will raise us up, and we will live in his sight. We will understand, and we will continue on, so that we may know the Lord. His landing place has been prepared like the first light of morning, and he will come to us like the early and the late rains of the land.
4 Inona re no ho azoko atao aminao, ry Efraima? Inona re no ho azoko atao aminao, ry Joda? Fa toy ny rahona maraina ny fitiavanareo sy tahaka ny ando izay levona, raha vao maraina ny andro.
What am I to do with you, Ephraim? What am I to do with you, Judah? Your mercy is like the morning mist, and like the dew passing away in the morning.
5 Ary noho izany ny mpaminany no nentiko nikapa azy, ny tenin’ ny vavako no nentiko namono azy; Ary ny fitsarana anao dia hiposaka toy ny mazava.
Because of this, I have cut them with the prophets, I have slain them with the words of my mouth; and your opinions will depart like the light.
6 Fa famindram-po no sitrako, fa tsy fanatitra alatsa-drà, ary fahalalana an’ Andriamanitra noho ny fanatitra dorana.
For I desired mercy and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God more than holocausts.
7 Fa ireny dia nivadika ny fanekena tahaka an’ i Adama, tao no nivadihany nahafoizany Ahy.
But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; in this, they have been dishonest with me.
8 Gileada dia tanànan’ ny mpanao ratsy sady voaloton’ ny rà.
Gilead is a city that manufactures idols; it has been tripped up by family relations.
9 Ary toy ny fanotriky ny jiolahy no fikamban’ ny mpisorona: Mamono eny an-dalambe mankany Sekema izy, eny, efa nanao fahavetavetana koa izy.
And, like those who rob with skillful words, they, by conspiring with the priests, bring a death sentence to travelers on a pilgrimage from Shechem; for they have been performing evil deeds.
10 Tao amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely no nahitako zavatra mahatsiravina: ao ny fijangajangan’ i Efraima, voaloto Isiraely.
I have seen horrible things in the house of Israel; the fornications of Ephraim are there. Israel has been contaminated.
11 Ny aminao, ry Joda, dia voatendry koa ny andro hijinjana anao, rehefa ampodiko avy amin’ ny fahababoana ny oloko.
But you, Judah, set a harvest for yourself, while I reverse the captivity of my people.
