Hosea 2
1 Anò amo roahalahi’ areoo ty hoe: Amý, naho aman-droahavave’ areo ty hoe; Rohamà
“Say of your brothers, ‘My people,’ and of your sisters, ‘My loved one.’
2 Mifanjomora aman-drene’ areo; mifangatora; fa tsy tañanjombako, vaho tsy vali’e iraho. Aa le ampañafaho an-tarehe’e eo o hakarapiloa’eo naho añivo’ o fatroa’eo o hatsirimira’eo;
Rebuke your mother, rebuke her, for she is not My wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove the adultery from her face and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.
3 tsy mone ho holireko, naho hapoko manahake i andro nahatoly azey, naho hanoeko hoe tane ratraratra, naho hadoko an-tane maik’ añe vaho havetrako an-karan-dranoañe.
Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her like the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and turn her into a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.
4 Tsy hiferenaiñako ka o ana’eo fa anak’amontoñe.
I will have no compassion on her children, because they are the children of adultery.
5 Toe nanao satan-tsimirira ty rene’iareo nimeñatse i nampiareñe iareoy; ie nanao ty hoe, ho paiako añe o sakezako mamahañe ahy mofo naho rano, ty volon’añondry naho ty leniko, ty menake vaho ty finomakoo.
For their mother has played the harlot and has conceived them in disgrace. For she thought, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me bread and water, wool and linen, oil and drink.’
6 Aa le ingo, ho faherako fatike ty lala’o, vaho hañoreñako kijoly tsy hahatreava’e ty homba’e.
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her path with thorns; I will enclose her with a wall, so she cannot find her way.
7 Himanea’e orik’ amy zao o sakeza’eo fe tsy ho tra’e; ho paia’e iereo fa tsy ho trea’e; hanao ty hoe amy zao re, Homb’eo iraho himpoly mb’amy valiko valoha’ey mb’eo, fa nisoa te amo henaneo i henane zay.
She will pursue her lovers but not catch them; she will seek them but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will return to my first husband, for then I was better off than now.’
8 Fa namoea’e te nanjotsoako ampemba naho divay vaho menake; le nampitomboeko ama’e ty volafoty naho volamena nañamboare’ iareo Baaleo.
For she does not acknowledge that it was I who gave her grain, new wine, and oil, who lavished on her silver and gold— which they crafted for Baal.
9 Hibalike iraho le hendeseko ty ampembako añ’andro’e naho ty divaiko an-tsa’e, vaho hasintako i volon’añondrikoy naho i leny natoloko aze hanaroña’e ty fihaloa’ey.
Therefore I will take back My grain in its time and My new wine in its season; I will take away My wool and linen, which were given to cover her nakedness.
10 Ie henane zao, le ho boraheko ty fimeñara’e am-pahaisaha’ o sakeza’eo, le tsy eo ty hahavotsots’ aze an-tañako.
And then I will expose her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of My hands.
11 Fonga hajiheko o hafalefalea’eo, o sabadidam-pitontona’eo, naho o pea-bola’eo, naho o fitofa’eo vaho o hene androm-pamantaña’eo.
I will put an end to all her exultation: her feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths— all her appointed feasts.
12 Ho firaeko añe o vahe’eo naho o sakoa’eo; i natao’e ty hoey, Tàngeko ‘nio, natolo’ o sakezakoo ahiko; aa le hafotsako ho ratraratra izay ho fihina’ o bibin-kivokeo.
I will destroy her vines and fig trees, which she thinks are the wages paid by her lovers. So I will make them into a thicket, and the beasts of the field will devour them.
13 Hampitiliheko ama’e ty andro’ o Baaleo, i nañoroa’e tsotse rezay, ie niravake o bange’eo naho o fomela’eo, naho nitsoeke o sakeza’eo vaho nandikok’ ahy, hoe t’Iehovà.
I will punish her for the days of the Baals when she burned incense to them, when she decked herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers. But Me she forgot,”
14 Aa le ingo t’ie ho sigiheko, naho hendeseko mb’am-patrambey mb’eo vaho hidiby aze an-troke.
“Therefore, behold, I will allure her and lead her to the wilderness, and speak to her tenderly.
15 Le hatoloko aze ty tanem-bahe boak’añe, naho ty vavatane’ i Akore ho lalam-pampitamàñe; ie hisabo añe manahake tañ’andron-katora’e, hambañe amy andro niakara’e an-tane Mitsraime añey.
There I will give back her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor into a gateway of hope. There she will respond as she did in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
16 Amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà, le ho kanjie’o iraho ami’ty hoe Valiko, vaho tsy hatao’o Baale ka.
In that day,” declares the LORD, “you will call Me ‘my Husband,’ and no longer call Me ‘my Master.’
17 Fa hasintako am-bava’e ao ty añara’ o Baaleo, vaho tsy ho toñoneñe ka o añara’eo.
For I will remove from her lips the names of the Baals; no longer will their names be invoked.
18 Ie amy andro zay, hanoeko fañina añivo’ iereo naho o bibin-kivokeo naho o voron-dikerañeo, naho o milaly an-tane eoo; le ho pozaheko ty fale naho ty fibara naho ty fihotakotaha’ ty tane toy vaho hampiroteko am-pierañerañañe.
On that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the creatures that crawl on the ground. And I will abolish bow and sword and weapons of war in the land, and will make them lie down in safety.
19 Le ho fofoeko ho ahy nainai’e; eka ho fofoeko ho ahy an-kavantañañe naho an-katò naho an-kafatraram-pikokoañe naho fiferenaiñañe;
So I will betroth you to Me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in loving devotion and compassion.
20 ie fofoeko ho ahy am-pigahiñañe, le ho fohi’o t’Iehovà.
And I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will know the LORD.”
21 Ie amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà, le hamale iraho, ho toiñeko o likerañeo, vaho ho valè’ iereo i taney;
“On that day I will respond—” declares the LORD— “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth.
22 le hamale i ampembay naho i divaiy naho i menakey ty tane; vaho ho valè’ iareo t’Iezreèle.
And the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.
23 Le ho tongiseko ho ahy an-tane ao re; naho ho ferenaiñako i tsy niferenaiñañey naho hataoko amo tsy ni-ondatikoo ty hoe: Ondatiko irehe; vaho hanoa’ iareo ty hoe: Andrianañahareko.
And I will sow her as My own in the land, and I will have compassion on ‘No Compassion.’ I will say to those called ‘Not My People,’ ‘You are My people,’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”
