Hosea 1

1 Niheo amy Hosea ana’ i Bierý ty tsara’ Iehovà faha’ i Ozià naho Iotame naho i Akhaze naho Khizkiia mpanjaka Iehodà, vaho Iarobàme ana’ Ioàse, mpanjaka’ Israele.

The word of the Lord which came to Osee the son of Beeri, in the days of Ozias, and Joatham, and Achaz, and Ezekias, kings of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joas, king of Israel.

2 Ie namotsotse nitsara amy Hosea t’Iehovà, le hoe t’Iehovà amy Hosea, Akia mañengà karapilo ho vali’o, ty anak’ ampela boak’ an-kàrapiloañe ao; fa toe mpanao hakarapiloan-kalalijake naho miamboho am’ Iehovà o taneo.

The beginning of the word of the Lord by Osee. And the Lord said to Osee, Go, take to yourself a wife of fornication, and children of fornication: for the land will surely go a-whoring in departing from the Lord.

3 Aa le nimb’eo re nañenga i Gomere, ana’ i Diblaime, le niaren-dre vaho nisamaha’e anadahy.

So he went and took Gomer, daughter of Debelaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.

4 Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e, Toñono ty hoe Iezreèle ty añara’e; fa tsy ho ela te havaleko ami’ty anjomba’ Iehò ty lio’ Iezreèle, vaho hagàdoko ty fifehean’ anjomba’ Israele.

And the Lord said to him, Call his name Jezrael; for yet a little [while], and I will avenge the blood of Jezrael on the house of Juda, and will make to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

5 Ie amy andro zay, ho pozaheko ty fale’ Israele am-bavatane’ Iezreèle ao.

And it shall be, in that day, [that] I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezrael.

6 Niareñe indraike re nahatoly anak’ ampela, le hoe re tama’e, Toñono ty hoe Lorokamà ty añara’e: fa tsy ho ferenaiñako ka ty anjomba’ Israele, toe tsy iheveako.

And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And he said to him, Call her name, Unpitied: for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, but will surely set myself in array against them.

7 Fe ho tretrezeko ty anjomba’ Iehodà le ho rombaheko añam’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareoy, fa tsy ho rombaheko am-pale ndra fibara ndra hotakotake ndra soavala ndra mpiningi-tsoavala.

But I will have mercy on the house of Juda, and will save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them with bow, nor with sword, nor by war, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.

8 Aa ie notañe’e t’i Lorokamà, le niareñe indraike nisamak’ anadahy.

And she weaned Unpitied; and she conceived again, and bore a son.

9 Le hoe re, Toñono ty hoe Loamý fa tsy ondatiko nahareo vaho tsy ho Andrianañahare’ areo iraho.

And he said, Call his name, Not my people: for you are not my people, and I am not your [God].

10 Fe mbe ho mira amo fasen-driakeo ty ia’ o ana’ Israeleo, ze tsy ho mete zeheñe ndra iaheñe; ie amy zay, amy tane nanoañe ama’ areo te Tsy ondatiko nahareoy, ty hafetse am’ iereo te Anan’ Añahare Veloñe.

Yet the number of the children of Israel was as the sand of the sea, which shall not be measured nor numbered: and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, even they shall be called the sons of the living God.

11 Le hifanontoñe o ana’ Iehodào naho o ana’ Israeleo, naho ho tendrè’ iareo ty mpiaolo raike ho a iareo, vaho hitombo an-tane eo: fa jabajaba ty andro’ Iezreèle.

And the children of Juda shall be gathered, and the children of Israel together, and shall appoint themselves one head, and shall come up out of the land: for great [shall be] the day of Jezrael.
