Hosea 1

1 Ny tenin’ i Jehovah, izay tonga tamin’ i Hosea, zanak’ i Bery, tamin’ ny andro nanjakan’ i Ozia sy Jotama sy Ahaza ary Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, sy tamin’ ny andron’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.

The word of Jehovah, which came to Hoses, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel.

2 Tamin’ ny niandohan’ ny nitenenan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Hosea dia hoy Jehovah taminy: Andeha ianao maka vady izay efa tena janga sy zanaky ny fijangajangana; fa fatra-pijangajanga miala amin’ i Jehovah ny tany.

The beginning of the word of Jehovah by Hosea. Jehovah said to Hosea: Go, and take thee a wife of lewdness, and children of lewdness; for the land hath committed great lewdness; it is false to Jehovah.

3 Dia lasa izy naka an’ i Gomera, zanakavavin’ i Diblaima; ary dia nanan’ anaka ravehivavy ka nitera-dahy taminy.

So he went, and took Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived and bore him a son.

4 Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Ataovy Jezirela no anarany; fa vetivety dia hovaliako ny taranak’ i Jeho noho ny rà nalatsaka tao Jezirela, ary hatsahatro ny fanjakan’ ny taranak’ Isiraely.

And Jehovah said to him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will bring the kingdom of the house of Israel to an end.

5 Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hotapahiko ao amin’ ny tany lemaka Jezirela ny tsipìkan’ Isiraely.

Yea, in that day will I break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.

6 Ary nanan’ anaka indray ravehivavy ka nitera-bavy. Dia hoy Jehovah taminy: Ataovy Lò-rohama no anarany; fa tsy hamindra fo amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely intsony Aho, eny, tsy havelako mihitsy ny helony.

And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And God said to him, Call her name Unpitied; for I will no more have pity upon the house of Israel, but will surely take them away.

7 Fa ny taranak’ i Joda no hamindrako fo, ary Izaho Jehovah Andriamaniny no hamonjy azy, nefa tsy amin’ ny tsipìka, na amin’ ny sabatra, na amin’ ny ady, na amin’ ny soavaly, na amin’ ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly.

But upon the house of Judah will I have pity, and will save them by Jehovah their God; I will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.

8 Ary rehefa notazana Lò-rohama, dia nanan’ anaka indray reniny ka nitera-dahy.

Then she weaned her daughter Unpitied, and conceived, and bore a son.

9 Dia hoy Jehovah: Ataovy Lò-amy no anarany; fa ianareo tsy oloko, ary Izaho tsy ho Andriamanitrareo.

And God said, Call his name Not-my-people. For ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.

10 Kanefa, na dia izany aza, ny isan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia ho betsaka toy ny fasika amin’ ny ranomasina, izay tsy azo afatra sady tsy tambo isaina; ary any amin’ ny tany izay nilazana taminy hoe: Tsy oloko ianareo, dia any no hanaovana aminy hoe: Zanak’ Andriamanitra velona ianareo.

Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured, or numbered; and in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there shall it be said to them, Ye are the sons of the living God.

11 Dia hiara-mivory ny taranak’ i Joda sy ny taranak’ Isiraely ka hifidy anankiray ho lohany izy, dia hiakatra hiala amin’ ny tany, fa ho lehibe ny andron’ i Jezirda.

Then shall the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel be gathered together, and shall appoint to themselves one head, and shall come up out of the land. For great shall be the day of Jezreel.
