Hosea 2
1 Anò amo roahalahi’ areoo ty hoe: Amý, naho aman-droahavave’ areo ty hoe; Rohamà
Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
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, neither am I her husband: and let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries 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.
lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst;
4 Tsy hiferenaiñako ka o ana’eo fa anak’amontoñe.
Yea, upon her children will I have no mercy; for they be children of whoredom.
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 hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my 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 thy way with thorns, and I will make a fence against her, that she shall not find her paths.
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, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it 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.
For she did not know that I gave her the corn, and the wine, and the oil, and multiplied unto her silver and gold, which they used 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 will I take back my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered 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 will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine 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.
I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, 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 lay waste her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my hire that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat 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 visit upon her the days of the Baalim, unto which she burned incense; when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith 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 allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto 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 give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall make answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came 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 be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
17 Fa hasintako am-bava’e ao ty añara’ o Baaleo, vaho tsy ho toñoneñe ka o añara’eo.
For I will take away the names of the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.
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 in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down 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 thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20 ie fofoeko ho ahy am-pigahiñañe, le ho fohi’o t’Iehovà.
I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt 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, I will answer, saith the LORD, I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer 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 answer the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall answer 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 wilt sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, [Thou art] my God.
