Hosea 2
1 Anò amo roahalahi’ areoo ty hoe: Amý, naho aman-droahavave’ areo ty hoe; Rohamà
Say to your brother, My people, and to your sister, Pitied.
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;
Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband: and I will remove her fornication out of my presence, and her adultery 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.
that I may strip her naked, and make her again as she was at the day of her birth: and I will make her desolate, and make her as a dry land, and will kill her with thirst.
4 Tsy hiferenaiñako ka o ana’eo fa anak’amontoñe.
And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are children of fornication.
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.
And their mother went a-whoring: she that bore them disgraced [them]: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, and my garments, and my linen clothes, my oil and my necessaries.
6 Aa le ingo, ho faherako fatike ty lala’o, vaho hañoreñako kijoly tsy hahatreava’e ty homba’e.
Therefore, behold, I hedge up her way with thorns, and I will stop the ways, and she shall not find her path.
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.
And she shall follow after her lovers, and shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: and she shall say, I will go, and return to my former husband; for it was better with me than now.
8 Fa namoea’e te nanjotsoako ampemba naho divay vaho menake; le nampitomboeko ama’e ty volafoty naho volamena nañamboare’ iareo Baaleo.
And she knew not that I gave her her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied silver to her: but she made silver and gold [images] 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 return, and take away my corn in its season, and my wine in its time; and I will take away my raiment and my linen clothes, so that she shall not 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 now I will expose her uncleanness before her lovers, and no one shall by any means deliver her out of my hand.
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.
And I will take away all her gladness, her feasts, and her festivals at the new moon, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
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.
And I will utterly destroy her vines, and her fig-trees, all things of which she said, These are my hire which my lovers have given me: and I will make them a testimony, and the wild beasts of the field, and the birds of the sky, and the reptiles of the earth shall 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.
And I will recompense on her the days of Baalim, wherein she sacrificed to them, and put on her ear-rings, and her necklaces, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, says the Lord.
14 Aa le ingo t’ie ho sigiheko, naho hendeseko mb’am-patrambey mb’eo vaho hidiby aze an-troke.
Therefore, behold, I [will] cause her to err, and will make her as desolate, and will speak comfortably to her.
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.
And I will giver her possessions from thence, and the valley of Achor to open her understanding: and she shall be afflicted there according to the days of her infancy, and according to the days of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.
16 Amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà, le ho kanjie’o iraho ami’ty hoe Valiko, vaho tsy hatao’o Baale ka.
And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, [that] she shall call me, My husband, and shall no longer call me Baalim.
17 Fa hasintako am-bava’e ao ty añara’ o Baaleo, vaho tsy ho toñoneñe ka o añara’eo.
And I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and their names shall be remembered no more at all.
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.
And I will make for them in that day a covenant with the wild beasts of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the reptiles of the earth: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle from off the earth, and will cause you to dwell safely.
19 Le ho fofoeko ho ahy nainai’e; eka ho fofoeko ho ahy an-kavantañañe naho an-katò naho an-kafatraram-pikokoañe naho fiferenaiñañe;
And I will betroth you to myself for ever; yes, I will betroth you to myself in righteousness, and in judgment, and in mercy, and in tender compassions;
20 ie fofoeko ho ahy am-pigahiñañe, le ho fohi’o t’Iehovà.
and I will betroth you to myself in faithfulness: and you shall know the Lord.
21 Ie amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà, le hamale iraho, ho toiñeko o likerañeo, vaho ho valè’ iereo i taney;
And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, I will listen to the heaven, and it shall listen 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 shall listen to the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall listen to Jezrael.
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 to me on the earth; and will love her that was not loved, and will say to that which was not my people, You are my people; and they shall say, You are the Lord my God.
