Hosea 8
1 Ano am-palie’o eo i antsivay, hihelañe mb’añ’anjomba’ Iehovà mb’eo re hoe vantio, amy t’ie nivalik’ amy fañinakoy vaho niola amo Fanoroakoo.
Let there be a trumpet in your throat, like an eagle over the house of the Lord, on behalf of those who have transgressed my covenant and violated my law.
2 Hitoreo amako hao t’Israele: Ry Andrianañahare, fa nahafohiñ’Azo zahay.
They will call on me: “O my God, we, Israel, know you.”
3 Fa nahifi’ Israele añe ty soa; horidañe’ o rafelahio iereo.
Israel has thrown away goodness; the enemy will overtake him.
4 Nampijadoñe mpifeleke iereo, fe tsy boak’ amako; manam-pifehe, fe nofiko; nanoe’ iereo ndrahare avao o volafoty naho volamena’ iareoo, soa te haitoañe.
They have reigned, but not by me. Leaders have emerged, and I did not recognize them. Their silver and their gold, they have made into idols for themselves, so that they might cross over.
5 I bania’oy ry Somerone, ty nañitoañ’ azo; misolebotse ama’o ty habosehako; ampara’ te ombia t’ie hahatakatse lio-hakeo?
Your calf, Samaria, has been rejected. My fury has been enraged against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed?
6 F’ie boak’ am’ Israele; rinanjim-pitoroñe; toe tsy Andrianañahare; le ho demoheñe i bania’ i Somerone rey.
For it is itself also from Israel: a workman made it, and it is not God. For the calf of Samaria will be used for the webs of spiders.
7 Nitongy i tiokey iereo, vaho ho tatahe’ iereo ty tangololahy; tsy hanam-bokatse iereo; tsy hiborake ty taho’e fe ndra t’ie hamokatse, habotse’ ty ambahiny.
For they will sow wind and reap a whirlwind. It does not have a firm stalk; the bud will yield no grain. But if it does yield, strangers will eat it.
8 Fa nagodrañe t’Israele; le hoe fanake tsy vara amo kilakila’ ondatio,
Israel has been devoured. Now, among the nations, it has become like an unclean vessel.
9 amy te nionjomb’Asore mb’eo, i borìke lý mirerererey; manambe sakeza t’i Efraime.
For they have gone up to Assur, a wild ass alone by himself. Ephraim has given presents to his lovers.
10 Aa ndra t’ie nandeta-vatañe amo fifeheañeo, hatontoko henaneo, ie fa ninìke ty amy nampijiniam-panjaka naho o roandriañeo.
But even when they will have brought the nations together for the sake of money, now I will assemble them. And they will rest for a little while from the burden of the king and the leaders.
11 Nampitombo kitrely handilara’e t’i Efraime; hakeo ama’e i kitrely rey.
For Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, and sanctuaries have become an offense for him.
12 Sinokiko ama’e ty raha maro amy Fanoroakoy fe natao’e ho raha ankafaankafa.
I will write to him my intricate laws, which have been treated like strangers.
13 Banabanae’ iereo soron-draho, isoroña’ iareo hena naho kamae’e; fe tsy no’ Iehovà; ho tiahi’e o tahi’ iareoo, vaho ho vale’e o hakeo’ iareoo; himpoly mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo iereo.
They will offer victims, they will immolate flesh and will eat, and the Lord will not accept them. For now he will remember their iniquity, and he will repay their sins: they will be turned back to Egypt.
14 Amy te nandikofa’Israele i Mpitsene azey, vaho nandranjy anjomba bey; fa nampitombo kijoly t’Iakobe; aa le hañirahako afo o rova’eo, fonga habotse’e o anjomba’eo.
And Israel has forgotten his Maker and has built shrines. And Judah has increased its fortified cities. And I will send fire upon his cities, and it will devour its structures.
