Hosea 5
1 Inao, ry mpisoroñeo, mitsendreña ry anjomba’ Israeleo, manokilaña ravembia ry anjomba’ i mpanjakay, fa ama’ areo i zakay; amy t’ie fandrik’ amy Mitspà naho harato nalafike ho amy Tabore;
Hear these things, you priests; and attend, O house of Israel; and listen, O house of the king; for the controversy is with you, because you have been a snare in Scopia, and as a net spread on Itabyrium,
2 vaho mpiola miheotse t’ie mandenta ndra te nendahako.
which they that hunt the prey have fixed: but I will correct you.
3 Fàntako t’i Efraime naho tsy mietak’ amako t’Israele; fa manao hakarapiloan-drehe Efraime, vaho maleotse t’Israele.
I know Ephraim, and Israel is not far from me: for now Ephraim has gone grievously a-whoring, Israel is defiled.
4 Tsy ho safirie’ iareo ty himpoly aman’Añahare’ iareo; fa añivo’ iareo ao ty fañahin-kakarapiloañe, vaho tsy fohi’ iereo t’Iehovà.
They have not framed their counsels to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in them, and they have not known the Lord.
5 Mitalily an-dahara’e ty fiebotsebora’ Israele; toly ndra hitsikapy an-kakèo t’Israele naho i Efraime; hiharo hihotrak’ am’ iereo ka t’Iehodà.
And the pride of Israel shall be brought low before his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall in their iniquities; and Judas also shall fall with them.
6 Hendese’ iereo ty lia-rai’ iareo naho o mpirai-tro’ iareoo ho paia’ iereo t’Iehovà, fe tsy ho oniñe, fa nisitake.
They shall go with sheep and calves diligently to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him, for he has withdrawn himself from them.
7 Fa niola am’ Iehovà iereo, naho nahatoly anak’amontoñe; aa le habotse’ ty pea-bolañe reke-panañañe.
For they have forsaken the Lord; for strange children have been born to them: now shall the cankerworm devour them and their heritages.
8 Tiofo e Gibà i antsivay naho e Ramà i soliy; koiho e Bet’avene ty hankàñe: mitoliha ry Beniamine.
Blow you the trumpet on the hills, sound aloud on the heights: proclaim in the house of On, Benjamin is amazed.
9 Ho koaheñe t’i Efraime amy andro fandilovañey; fa nampahafohineko o fifokoa’ Israeleo ze toe hifetsake.
Ephraim has come to nothing in the days of reproof: in the tribes of Israel I have shown faithful [dealings].
10 Manahake ty mpameve vorovoro o roandria’ Iehodào; hadoandoako am’ iereo hoe rano ty habosehako.
The princes of Juda became as they that removed the bounds: I will pour out upon them my fury as water.
11 Forekekèñe t’i Efraime demok’ an-jaka; ie nañorike haloloañe an-tsatri’e.
Ephraim altogether prevailed against his adversary, he trod judgment under foot, for he began to go after vanities.
12 Aa le ho bararaok’ amy Efraime iraho, naho haloloañe amy anjomba’ Iehodày.
Therefore I [will be] as consternation to Ephraim, and as a goad to the house of Juda.
13 Ie nahaoniñe i arete’ey t’i Efraime, naho i fere’ey t’Iehodà, le nihitrike mb’ Asorey mb’eo, naho nisangitrife’e i mpanjaka Iaribey; f’ie tsy hahajangañ’ azo, vaho tsy ho melañe’e i fere’oy.
And Ephraim saw his disease, and Judas his pain; then Ephraim went to the Assyrians, and sent ambassadors to king Jarim: but he could not heal you, and your pain shall in nowise cease from you.
14 Ho liona amy Efraime iraho, naho liona tora’e amy anjomba’ Iehodày; Izaho le Izaho avao ty handrimitse vaho hienga; hinday iraho le ia ty haharombake.
Therefore I am as a panther to Ephraim, and as a lion to the house of Juda: and I will tear, and go away; and I will take, and there shall be none to deliver.
15 Homb’eo iraho himpoly mb’añ’akibako añe, ampara’ t’ie miantoke o hakeo’eo, naho mipay ty tareheko; ie am-poheke ro hitsoek’ahy.
I will go and return to my place, until they are brought to nothing, and [then] shall they seek my face.
