Hosea 9
1 Aza dia fatra-pifaly loatra, toy ny firenena hafa, ry Isiraely; Fa ianao efa nijangajanga niala tamin’ Andriamanitrao sady efa tia tangy teny am-pamoloana rehetra;
Rejoice not, O Israel for ioy as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God: thou hast loued a rewarde vpon euery corne floore.
2 Ny famoloana sy ny fanantazana tsy hahavelona azy, ary hahadiso fanantenana azy ny ranom-boaloboka.
The floore, and the wine presse shall not feede them, and the newe wine shall faile in her.
3 Tsy honina ao amin’ ny tanin’ i Jehovah izy; Fa Efraima hiverina ho any Egypta ary hihinana zava-padina any Asyria.
They wil not dwel in the Lordes lande, but Ephraim will returne to Egypt, and they will eate vncleane things in Asshur.
4 Tsy hanidina divay ho fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah izy, ary tsy hankasitrahany; Ny zavatra vonoiny hatao fanatitra dia ho toy ny fahan-kanina ho an’ ny mpisaona aminy: Izay rehetra homana izany dia voaloto; Fa ny haniny dia ho an’ ny tenany ihany, fa tsy ho tafiditra ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
They shall not offer wine to the Lord, neither shall their sacrifices be pleasant vnto him: but they shall be vnto them as the bread of mourners: al that eate thereof, shalbe polluted: for their bread for their soules shall not come into the house of the Lord.
5 Hanao ahoana kosa re ianareo, raha mby amin’ ny fotoam-pivavahana sy amin’ ny andro firavoravoana voatendrin’ i Jehovah?
What wil ye do then in the solemne day, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?
6 Fa he! lasa izy noho ny fandringanana; Egypta no hanangona azy, Memfisa no handevina azy; Ny fana-bolafotsiny mahafinaritra dia ho lasan’ ny amiana, tsilo no ho ao an-dainy.
For loe, they are gone from destruction: but Egypt shall gather them vp, and Memphis shall burie them: the nettle shall possesse the pleasant places of their siluer, and the thorne shall be in their tabernacles.
7 Tonga ireo andro famaliana, tonga ireo andro fanodiavana Ho fantatr’ Isiraely fa adala ny mpaminany, ary very saina ny olona tsindriam-panahy noho ny hamaroan’ ny helokao sy ny habetsahan’ ny fanoherana.
The daies of visitation are come: the daies of recompence are come: Israel shall knowe it: the Prophet is a foole: the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquitie: therefore the hatred is great.
8 Efraima dia mizaha, nefa tsy avy amin’ Andriamanitro; Ny mpaminany dia fandriky ny mpamandri-borona eny amin’ ny alehany rehetra sy fanoherana ao an-tranon’ Andriamaniny.
The watchman of Ephraim shoulde bee with my God: but the Prophet is the snare of a fouler in all his waies, and hatred in the House of his God.
9 Fatra-panao ratsy toy ny tamin’ ny andro tany Gibea izy; Ka dia hotsarovana ny helony, ary hovaliana ny fahotany.
They are deepely set: they are corrupt as in the daies of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquitie, he will visite their sinnes.
10 Tahaka ny fahitana voaloboka any an-efitra no nahitako ny Isiraely, toy ny fahitana aviavy mialin-taona no nahitako ny razanareo; Nefa ireny dia tonga tany Bala-peora ka nanolo-tena ho amin’ ilay mampahamenatra, ka dia tonga fahavetavetana tahaka an’ ilay tiany ihany izy.
I found Israel like grapes in the wildernes: I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the figge tree at her first time: but they went to Baal-Peor, and separated themselues vnto that shame, and their abominations were according to their louers.
11 Ny amin’ i Efraima, hihelina toy ny voro-manidina ny voninahiny, ka tsy hisy hiteraka, na hanan’ anaka, na ho torontoronina.
Ephraim their glorie shall flee away like a birde: from the birth and from the wombe, and from the conception.
12 Na dia misy mitaiza zanaka aza izy, dia hofoanako ihany ireny, ka tsy hisy miangana; Eny, hahita loza koa izy amin’ ny handaozako azy!
Though they bring vp their children, yet I will depriue them from being men: yea, woe to them, when I depart from them.
13 Efraima, raha araka ny hitako, dia voavoly ao amin’ ny tany mahafinaritra tahaka an’ i Tyro, nefa tsy maintsy mamoaka ny zanany ho amin’ ny mpamono izy.
Ephraim, as I sawe, is as a tree in Tyrus planted in a cottage: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murtherer.
14 Jehovah ô, omeo azy ― inona no homenao azy? Omeo azy ny kibo tsy mahazo zaza sy ny nono ritra.
O Lord, giue them: what wilt thou giue them? giue them a baren wombe and drie breasts.
15 Ao Gilgala ny fahotany rehetra, eny, tao no vao nankahalako azy; Noho ny faharatsian’ ny ataony dia horoahiko hiala ao an-tranoko izy; Tsy ho tia azy intsony Aho, mpiodina avokoa ny mpanapaka azy.
All their wickednesse is in Gilgal: for there doe I hate them: for the wickednesse of their inuentions, I will cast them out of mine House: I will loue them no more: all their princes are rebels.
16 Voaratra Efraima, maina ny fakany, ka tsy hamoa izy; Eny, na dia miteraka aza izy, dia hovonoiko ny zanany mahafinaritra azy.
Ephraim is smitten, their roote is dried vp: they can bring no fruite: yea, though they bring foorth, yet will I slaie euen the dearest of their bodie.
17 Harian’ Andriamanitro izy, satria tsy nihaino Azy; Ka dia ho tonga mpirenireny any amin’ ny jentilisa izy.
My God will cast them away, because they did not obey him: and they shall wander among the nations.
