Hosea 12
1 Mandrazan-tioke t’i Efraime, mañeañe tiok’atiñanañe; ampitoabore’e vande naho joy lomoñandro, mbore milahatse amy Asore, mbore mañondrañe menake amy Mitsraime.
Ephraim feedeth on the wind, and followeth the burning heat: all the day long he multiplied lies and desolation: and he hath made a covenant with the Assyrians, and carried oil into Egypt.
2 Manan-kabò am’ Iehodà ka t’Iehovà, o sata’eo ro hitiliha’ Iakobe; o fitoloña’eo ro hañondroha’e aze.
Therefore there is a judgment of the Lord with Juda, and a visitation for Jacob: he will render to him according to his ways, and according to his devices.
3 Rinambe’e an-tomi’e an-koviñe ao i zoke’ey, le nifanehak’ aman’ Añahare an-kaozara’e;
In the womb he supplanted his brother: and by his strength he had success with an angel.
4 Eka nigore’e i anjeliy vaho nahatañe; nirovetse re naho nitoreova’e; i nioni’e e Betele añey, le ao ty nitsara’e aman-tika.
And he prevailed over the angel, and was strengthened: he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us.
5 Eka, Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ i màroy; Iehovà ty tahina’e.
Even the Lord the God of hosts, the Lord is his memorial.
6 Aa le mimpolia mb’aman’Añahare’o; tambozoro ty fatarihañe naho ty hatò, vaho itamao nainai’e t’i Andrianañahare’o.
Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and hope in thy God always.
7 I mpampibalibalikey, balantsim-pamañahiañe ty am-pità’e ao; tea’e ty mikatramo.
He is like Chanaan, there is a deceitful balance in his hand, he hath loved oppression.
8 Hoe t’i Efraime, Toe fa mpañaleale iraho, nahatrea vara maro; tsy eo ty haharendreke tahiñe amako, ndra hakeo amo fitoloñakoo.
And Ephraim said: But yet I am become rich, I have found me an idol: all my labours shall not find me the iniquity that I have committed.
9 Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’o boak’ an-tane’ i Mitsraime añe; mbe hampimoneñeko an-kibohotse irehe manahak’ amo andro namantañañeo.
And I that am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, will yet cause thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the feast.
10 Nisaontsieko o mpitokio, nampitomboeko aroñaroñe, vaho nandrazañe am-pitàm-pitoky.
And I have spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and I have used similitudes by the ministry of the prophets.
11 Aman-tahiñe hao t’i Gilade? toe hakoahañe, ie nañenga bania e Gilgale ao; eka, votrim-bato am-bavahali’ o hatsakeo o kitreli’eo.
If Galaad be an idol, then in vain were they in Galgal offering sacrifices with bullocks: for their altars also are as heaps in the furrows of the field.
12 F’ie nilay mb’an-tete’ i Arame añe t’Iakobe, nitoroñe ho a i tañamjomba’ey, eka nimpiarake ty amy vali’ey.
Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and was a keeper for a wife.
13 Mpitoky ty nañendesa’ Iehovà t’Israele boake Mitsraime ao, vaho mpitoky ty nañarovañ’ aze;
But the Lord by a prophet brought Israel out of Egypt: and he was preserved by a prophet.
14 nikai-jaka añ’afero t’i Efraime; aa le hapoke ama’e ty lio’e; vaho hondrohe’ i Talè’e ama’e ty inje’e.
Ephraim hath provoked me to wrath with his bitterness, and his blood shall come upon him, and his Lord will render his reproach unto him.
