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 joy, as other people: for you have gone a whoring from your God, you have loved a reward on every corn floor.
2 Ny famoloana sy ny fanantazana tsy hahavelona azy, ary hahadiso fanantenana azy ny ranom-boaloboka.
The floor and the wine press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail 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 shall not dwell in the LORD’s land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.
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 offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing to him: their sacrifices shall be to them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul 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 will you do in the solemn 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, see, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns 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 days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of your iniquity, and the great hatred.
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 was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, 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 have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
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 wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves to that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
11 Ny amin’ i Efraima, hihelina toy ny voro-manidina ny voninahiny, ka tsy hisy hiteraka, na hanan’ anaka, na ho torontoronina.
As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, 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 up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yes, woe also 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 saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
14 Jehovah ô, omeo azy ― inona no homenao azy? Omeo azy ny kibo tsy mahazo zaza sy ny nono ritra.
Give them, O LORD: what will you give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry 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 wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house, I will love 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 root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yes, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
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 listen to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
