Hosea 10

1 Vahe nandrevake t’Israele, niregorego o voa’eo, ie nitombo o famokara’eo, le nampitomboe’e ka o kitreli’eo; mira ami’ty havokara’ i tane’ey ty nampisomontie’e o samposampo’eo.

Israel is a luxuriant vine that puts forth his fruit. According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars. According to the goodness of their land they have made goodly pillars.

2 Fa mizara ty arofo’ iareo; fa hivave hakeo iereo; ho hatsafe’e o kitreli’ iareoo, ho rotsahe’e o samposampo’eo.

Their heart is divided. Now they shall be found guilty. He will smite their altars. He will destroy their pillars.

3 Hanao ty hoe iereo te aniany, Tsy amam-panjàka zahay, ami’ty tsy fañeveña’ay am’ Iehovà; fa ho nanao inoñe ho antika ty mpanjaka?

Surely now they shall say, We have no king, for we fear not Jehovah. And the king, what can he do for us?

4 Mivolambolañe avao iereo, manao fanta vìlañe naho mifañìna; aa le hitiry hoe lombiry am-bavahalin-tete’ iareo ty zaka.

They speak vain words, swearing falsely in making covenants. Therefore judgment springs up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.

5 Mihondrahondra o mpimone’ i Someroneo ty amo bania’ i Bet’aveneo; handala i baniay ondatio, naho o mpisoroñe nañonjoñe azeo, ty amy enge’ey, fa niakatse añe izay.

The inhabitants of Samaria shall be in terror for the calves of Beth-aven. For the people of it shall mourn over it, and the priests of it, who rejoiced over it for the glory of it, because it has departed from it.

6 Ie hasese mb’e Asore añe ho ravoravo am’ Iarebe mpanjaka; ho salareñe t’i Efraime, vaho ho meñatse t’Israele ty amo fañòha’eo.

It shall also be carried to Assyria for a present to king Jareb. Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

7 I Somerone: fa naitoañe i mpanjaka’ey, manahake ty vore mihafoñ’ ambone rano eo.

As for Samaria, its king is cut off, as foam upon the water.

8 Ho rotsaheñe o kitreli’ i Aveneo, ty hakeo’ Israele; hitiry amo kitreli’e iabio ty fatike naho ty hisatse, le hanoeñe ty hoe o vohitseo, Lembefo zahay; naho o haboañeo, Mitraboha ama’ay.

The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars, and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us, and to the hills, Fall on us.

9 Ry Israele, fa nandilatse hirik’añ’andro’ i Gibà irehe; nijihetse ey avao iereo; Tsy nahafivohotse ondaty mirengevoke e Gibà ao i hotakotakey.

O Israel, thou have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they stood. The battle against the sons of iniquity does not overtake them in Gibeah.

10 Ho liloveko an-tsatriko; vaho hifanontoñe haname iareo o kilakila’ ondatio, le ho rohizeñe ty amy hakeo roe zay iereo.

When it is my desire, I will chastise them. And the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they are bound to their two transgressions.

11 Kiloa finolake t’i Efraime, tea’e ty mandisañe; le nampiariako ambone’ i hàto’e fanjàkay ty ana-joka, hitariha’ i Efraime, hitan-dasarý t’Iehodà, vaho ho bonabonahe’ Iakobe o boko’eo.

And Ephraim is a heifer that is taught, that loves to tread out the grain. But I have passed over upon her fair neck. I will set a rider on Ephraim. Judah shall plow. Jacob shall break his clods.

12 Mitongisa havantañañe, mitataha fiferenaiñañe; bonabonaho o moka’ areoo; fa tondroke ty fipaiañe Iehovà, ampara’ t’ie totsake eo hampidoañe havañonañe ama’ areo.

Sow to yourselves in righteousness. Reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek Jehovah, till he comes and rains righteousness upon you.

13 Navae’ areo ty halò-tsereke, nitatahe’ areo ty hakeo, ho kamae’ areo ty vokam-pandañirañe, amy te niatoa’o o sata’oo, naho ty hatsifotofoto’ o fanalolahi’oo.

Ye have plowed wickedness. Ye have reaped iniquity. Ye have eaten the fruit of lies. For thou trusted in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

14 Aa le hitroatse añivo’ ondati’oo ty fifandragaragàñe; fonga ho rotsake o rova fatratseo, manahake ty nandrotsaha’ i Salmane i Bet’arbele, tañ’andro’ i hotakotakey; dinemoke rekets’ an-drene’e o ana’eo.

Therefore a tumult shall arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel in the day of battle; the mother was dashed in pieces with her sons.

15 Hambañe amy zay ty hanoa’ i Betele o halò-tsere’ areoo; ho vata’e aitoañe ty mpanjaka’ Israele te maraindray.

So shall Bethel do to you because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel shall be utterly cut off.
