< Hosea 14 >

1 Ry Israele, mimpolia mb’am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o; fa nampihotrake azo o hakeo’oo.
O israel, return unto the LORD your God; for you have fallen by your iniquity.
2 Andeso saontsy, le mibaliha mb’am’Iehovà: ano ty hoe: Fonga afaho o hakeoo, rambeso an-kasoa, vaho hengae’ay ty banian-tsoñi’ay.
Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
3 Tsy haharombak’ anay t’i Asore; izahay tsy hiningitse an-tsoavala, le tsy hanao ty hoe amo sata-pità’aio: Ry ndrahare’ay. Fa ama’o ty hahaoniña’ ty bode-rae fiferenaiñañe.
Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, All of you are our gods: for in you the fatherless finds mercy.
4 Ho jangañeko ty fidisa-voli’ iareo; hikokoako an-tsatrin-tro, fa mitolike ty habosehako.
I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
5 Hanahake ty zono am’ Israele iraho; ie hidorenake hoe antake mandriake, vaho hirifondrifoñe hoe Libanone.
I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
6 Handrevake o ra’eo, naho hanahake ty andramahe ty enge’e, vaho hoe Libanone ty harifondrifo’e.
His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
7 Himpoly iaby o mialok’ ama’eo; ho tolorañ’ aiñe manahake i ampembay, le hiraorao hoe vahe, vaho handrifondrifoñe hoe ty hamañiran-divai’ i Libanone.
They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
8 Le hanao ty hoe t’i Efraime: Hanoeko inoñe ka o samposampoo? Fa nitsanoñeko naho nijiloveko, Manahake ty kile maindoñe ama’o iraho, amako ty aharendreha’o voa.
Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is your fruit found.
9 Ee te hahafohiñe o raha zao ty mahihitse, naho haharendreke o mahilalao. Amy te vantañe o lala’ Iehovào, ie orihe’ o vañoñeo, fe itsikapia’ o miolao.
Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
