Hosea 12

Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.

Efraima manodidina Ahy amin'ny lainga, ary ny taranak'Isiraely amin'ny fitaka; Ary Joda mbola mikarenjy tsy manatona an'Andriamanitra, dia ny Iray Masina sy Mahatoky.

The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.

Efraima homan-drivotra sady manenjika ny rivotra avy any atsinanana, mandritra ny andro dia ataony betsaka ny lainga sy ny fandozana; Manao fanekena amin'ny Asyriana izy, ary diloilo no entina ho any Egypta.

He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:

Manana ady amin'i Joda koa Jehovah ary tsy maintsy mamaly an'i Jakoba araka ny alehany, ka hatsingeriny aminy ny nataony.

Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Beth–el, and there he spake with us;

Fony mbola tany am-bohoka dia nihazona ny ombelahin-tongotry ny rahalahiny izy, ary rehefa lehibe izy, dia nitolona tamin'Andriamanitra;

Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.

Eny, nitolona tamin'Ilay Anjely izy ka nahery; Nitomany izy sady nifona taminy; Nahita azy tao Betela Izy, ary tao no niresahany tamintsika;

Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually.

Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, Jehovah no hahatsiarovana Azy.

He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.

Koa miverena amin'Andriamanitrao ianao; Tandremo ny famindram-po sy ny rariny. Ary miandrasa an'Andriamanitrao mandrakariva.

And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.

Kanana eny an-tànany misy mizana miangatra, ny manambaka no tiany.

And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.

Fa hoy Efraima: Fiharian-karena ihany no efa nataoko, nahazo fananana aho; Ny asako rehetra tsy misy hahatonga fahotana na heloka amiko.

I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.

Nefa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrao hatrany amin'ny tany Egypta; Ary mbola hampiditra anao an-day indray Aho tahaka ny tamin'ny fotoam-pivavahana.

Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.

Efa niteny tamin'ny mpaminany koa Aho, sady Izaho no nahabetsaka ny fahitana, ary ny mpaminany dia nampilazaiko ohatra.

And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.

Raha tena heloka Gileada, dia ho tonga zava-poana tokoa izy; Tany Gilgala no namonoany omby betsaka ho fanatitra, koa ny alitarany dia ho toy ny korontam-bato eny am-bavasa any an-tsaha.

And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.

Jakoba nandositra ho any amin'ny tany Syria, Isiraely nanompo hahazoany vady, eny, ny hahazoany vady no niandrasany ondry aman'osy.

Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.

Mpaminany no nentin'i Jehovah nitondra ny Isiraely nivoaka avy tany Egypta, ary mpaminany koa no nentina niahy azy Nanao izay nahatezitra indrindra Efraima, ka dia havelan'ny Tompony ho eo aminy ny ràny, ary hatsingeriny aminy ny vava ratsy nataony.
