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 a vine full of branches, the fruit is agreeable to it: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath multiplied altars, according to the plenty of his land he hath abounded with idols.

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 perish: he shall break down their idols, he shall destroy their altars.

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?

For now they shall say: We have no king: because we fear not the Lord: and what shall a king do to us?

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

You speak words of an unprofitable vision, and you shall make a covenant: and judgment shall spring up as bitterness 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 have worshipped the king of Bethaven: for the people thereof have mourned over it, and the wardens of its temple that rejoiced over it in its glory because it is 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.

For itself also is carried into Assyria, a present to the avenging king: shame shall fall upon Ephraim, and Israel shall be confounded in his own will.

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

Samaria hath made her king to pass as froth upon the face of 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.

And the high places of the idol, the sin of Israel shall be destroyed: the bur and the thistle shall grow up over their altars: and they shall say to the mountains: Cover us; and to the hills: Fall upon 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.

From the days of Gabaa, Israel hath sinned, there they stood: the battle in Gabaa against the children of iniquity shall not overtake them.

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

According to my desire I will chastise them: and the nations shall be gathered together against them, when they shall be chastised for their two iniquities.

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.

Ephraim is a heifer taught to love to tread out corn, but I passed over upon the beauty of her neck: I will ride upon Ephraim, Juda shall plough, Jacob shall break the furrows for himself.

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

Sow for yourselves in justice, and reap in the mouth of mercy, break up your fallow ground: but the time to seek the Lord is, when he shall come that shall teach you justice.

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.

You have ploughed wickedness, you have reaped iniquity, you have eaten the fruit of lying: because thou hast trusted in thy ways, in the multitude of thy strong ones.

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.

A tumult shall arise among thy people: and all thy fortresses shall be destroyed as Salmana was destroyed, by the house of him that judged Baal in the day of battle, the mother being dashed in pieces upon her children.

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

So hath Bethel done to you, because of the evil of your iniquities.
