Hosea 4
1 Janjiño ty tsara’Iehovà: ry ana’ Israeleo; amy te atreatré’ Iehovà o mpimoneñe an-tane atoio. Fa tsy aman-katò, tsy mitretrè, tsy mahafohiñe an’ Andrianañahare ty an-tane ao.
Listen to the word of the Lord, sons of Israel, for the Lord is judge of the inhabitants of the land. Yet there is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God, in the land.
2 Te mone fàtse, naho lañitse, naho hohodan-doza, naho kametse, vaho hakarapiloañe ty itoloña’ iareo, le mifanoitoy ami’ty lio ty lio.
Slander, and lying, and killing, and theft, and adultery have overflowed, and bloodshed has brought more bloodshed.
3 Aa le handala ty tane, naho fonga hinìke ze mpimoneñe ao, naho o bibin-kivokeo naho o voron-dikerañeo; vaho hasese añe ka o fian-driakeo.
Because of this, the land will mourn, and all who dwell in it will languish, with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air. And the fishes of the sea also will be gathered together.
4 Asoao tsy ho liereñe tsy ho endakendaheñe, fa manahake ty mpifandietse ami’ty mpisoroñe ondatikoo.
So, truly, let each and every one not judge, and let no man be accused, for your people are just like those who speak against the priesthood.
5 Aa le hikorovoke antoandro irehe, le hindre hihotrak’ ama’o ty mpitoky naho haleñe, vaho havetrako ty rene’o.
And you will be ruined on this day, and now the prophet will be ruined with you. In the night, I have made your mother to be silent.
6 Rotsake ondatikoo fa po-hilala, aa kanao narinjèñe’o ty hihitse le hariako amo fisoroñañeo irehe; kanao nandikofa’o o Tsaran’Añahare’oo, le ho haliñoko ka o ana’oo.
My people have become silent because they had no knowledge. Since you have rejected knowledge, I will drive you away; you do not perform the duties of the priesthood for me, and you have forgotten the law of your God, and so I will forget your sons.
7 Ie nampitoaboreñe iereo àntsake t’ie nandilatse amako; aa le hafoteko ho fisalarañe ty asi’ iareo.
According to the multitude of them, so have they sinned against me. I will change their glory into disgrace.
8 Fihinana’ iareo o engan-kakeo’ ondatikoo, vontitire’ iereo an-tro’e ao o tahi’ iareoo.
They will devour the sins of my people, and they will lift up their souls towards their iniquity.
9 Le zao ty ho ie te hiray ami’ty ondaty ty mpisoroñe; sindre ho liloveko ty amo sata’eo, vaho hondroheko ty amo fitoloña’eo.
And, just as it is with the people, so will it be with the priest; and I will visit their ways upon them, and I will repay them for their intentions.
10 Hikama iereo fe tsy ho anjañe; hanao hakarapiloañe fe tsy hitombo, amy te napo’ iereo ty hañaoñe am’ Iehovà
And they will eat and not be satisfied. They have been committing fornication, and they did not cease. Since they have abandoned the Lord, they will not be safeguarded.
11 Mitavañe arofo ty hakarapiloañe, naho ty divay, vaho i divay vaoy.
Fornication, and wine, and drunkenness, have taken away their heart.
12 Mihalaly hevetse am-poto-katae’eo ondatikoo, vaho manoiñe ty kobai’ iareo; fa nampandilatse iareo ty fañahin-kakarapiloañe, vaho nifarie’iereo t’i Andrianañahare’iareo.
My people have inquired of their stave, and their staff has announced to them. For the spirit of fornication has deceived them, and they have been fornicating before their God.
13 Mañenga soroñe am-bohitse ey iereo naho mañembok’ an-kaboañe ey, ambane’ o kileo naho o talìo, vaho o mendoraveñeo, o mañaloke soao; aa le handrato o anak’ ampela’ areoo, vaho hanao hakarapiloañe o ana-drahavavem-bali’ areoo.
They have offered sacrifice on the tops of the mountains and burnt incense on the hills, under the oak, and the poplar, and the terebinth tree, because its shadow was good; therefore, your daughters will commit fornication and your spouses will be adulteresses.
14 Tsy ho tiliheko o anak’ampela’ areoo t’ie manao hakarapiloañe, naho o ana-drahavavem-bali’ areoo, t’ie mandranto fa mitrao-pañenga amo tsimirirañeo iereo, vaho miharo soroñe amo kalalijakeo; toe hihotrake ondaty tsy aman-kilalao.
I will not send afflictions on your daughters, when they will commit fornication, nor on your spouses, when they will commit adultery, because you yourselves have associated with harlots and have offered sacrifice with the effeminate, and because the people who do not understand will be defeated.
15 Aa ndra te manao hakarapiloan-drehe Israele, ko ampandilare’o t’Iehodà; ko migodañe mb’e Gilgale, naho ko mionjomb’e Bet’avène mb’eo, vaho ko mifanta ty hoe Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà.
If you commit fornication, Israel, at least let Judah not commit offenses; and do not be willing to enter into Gilgal, nor to ascend to Bethaven, and neither should you swear, “As the Lord lives.”
16 Fa midisa-voly manahake ty fidisa-volin-kiloa t’Israele; aa vaho ho fahana’ Iehovà hoe añondri-lahy midada iereo?
For Israel has gone astray like a wanton heifer; so now the Lord will pasture them like a young lamb in a wide expanse.
17 Kanao mitolon-tsamposampo t’i Efraime; adono ey.
Ephraim participates in idolatry, so send him away.
18 Fa maseñe ty divai’ iareo; ie mitoloñe hakarapiloañe avao; tea’ o mpifehe’oo ty haloloañe te ami’ty engeñe.
Their feasting has been set aside; they have committed fornication after fornication. They love to bring disgrace to their protectors.
19 Fa kinolopo’ i tiokey añ’ela’e ao iereo le ho salatse ty amo fisoroña’ iareoo
The wind has fastened them to its wings, and they will be confounded because of their sacrifices.
