Hosea 6
1 Antao, himpoly am’ Iehovà tika; Ie ty nandrimitse, naho ie ty hampijangañe antika, Ie ty namofoke, naho ie ty hampidiañe antika.
Come, and let vs returne to the Lord: for he hath spoyled, and he will heale vs: he hath wounded vs, and he will binde vs vp.
2 Afake roe andro le hampiveloma’e, amy andro fahateloy ro hampitroara’e, himoneñan-tika am-pivazohoa’e eo.
After two dayes will he reuiue vs, and in the third day he will raise vs vp, and we shall liue in his sight.
3 Le hahafohiñe tika, naho himane hahafohiñe Iehovà; Mionjoñe re manahake ty manjirik’àndro; le hivotrak’ amantika manahake o orañeo, i oram-pigadoñañey, naho i orañe aolo an-tane atoiy.
Then shall we haue knowledge, and indeuour our selues to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning, and he shall come vnto vs as the raine, and as the latter raine vnto the earth.
4 Ry Efraime, ino ty hanoako ama’o? Ry Iehodà, ino ty hanoako azo? Hoe mika ty hasoa’o; mimeatse añe te maraindray manahake o misafononokeo.
O Ephraim, what shall I doe vnto thee? O Iudah, how shall I intreate thee? for your goodnesse is as a morning cloude, and as the morning dewe it goeth away.
5 Aa le nihatsafeko amo mpitokio, nizamaneko am-pivolam-bavako; hoe fipelaran-kelatse ty fizakañ’ azo.
Therefore haue I cut downe by the Prophets: I haue slaine them by the wordes of my mouth, and thy iudgements were as the light that goeth forth.
6 Toe fiferenaiñañe ty paiako, fa tsy soroñe; naho ty fahafohinañe an’Andrianañahare te amo engan-koroañeo.
For I desired mercie, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more then burnt offrings.
7 Fe manahake i Dame t’ie nivalike amy fañinay; izay ty niolà’ iareo amako.
But they like men haue transgressed the couenant: there haue they trespassed against me.
8 Rova’ o mpikitro-draha ratio t’i Gilade, tsitsike lian-dio.
Gilead is a citie of them that worke iniquitie, and is polluted with blood.
9 Hoe firimbo-malaso mivoñoñe ondaty, ty fañohofa’ i fivorim-pisoroñey loza an-tevan-dala’ i Sekème eo; toe haloloañe ty anoe’ iereo;
And as the eues waite for a man, so the companie of Priestes murder in the way by consent: for they worke mischiefe.
10 Naharendreke haleorañe añ’anjomba’ Israele ao iraho; zoeñe e Efraime ao ty hatsimirirañe, naho naniva vatañe t’Israele.
I haue seene vileny in the house of Israel: there is ye whoredome of Ephraim: Israel is defiled.
11 F’ie nifotoañeko san-kavokaran- drehe r’Iehodà, ie hampoliko ty fandrohizañe ondatikoo.
Yea, Iudah hath set a plant for thee, whiles I woulde returne ye captiuitie of my people.
