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 was a luxuriant vine, which put forth fruit freely: as his fruit increased, he increased his altars; the more goodly his land was, the more goodly were his 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 shall they bear their guilt; He will break down their altars, He will spoil 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 shall they say: 'We have no king; for we feared not the LORD; 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 words, they swear falsely, they make covenants; thus judgment springeth 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 dread for the calves of Beth-aven; for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof shall tremble for it, for 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.
It also shall be carried unto Assyria, for a present to King Contentious; 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, her 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 shall be destroyed, even the sin of Israel. 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.
From the days of Gibeah thou hast sinned, O Israel; there they stood; no battle was to overtake them in Gibeah, nor the children of arrogancy.
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 yoked to their two rings.
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 well broken, that loveth to thresh, and I have passed over upon her fair neck; I will make Ephraim to ride, 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 according to righteousness, reap according to mercy, break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, till He come and cause righteousness to rain 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 didst trust 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 shall a tumult arise among thy hosts, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle; the mother was dashed in pieces with 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 Beth-el done unto you because of your great wickedness; at daybreak is the king of Israel utterly cut off.
