Hosea 7

Raha ta-hanasitrana ny Isiraely Aho, dia miseho ny helok'i Efraima sy ny faharatsian'i Samaria, fa manao fitaka izy; Miditra ny mpangalatra, ary ny jiolahy manao andiany dia mandehandeha eny ivelany.

When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without.

Ary tsy heveriny ao am-po fa tsarovako ny faharatsiany rehetra; Ankehitriny dia gejan'ny nataony izy, efa tonga eo anatrehako izany.

And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.

Amin'ny faharatsiany no ampifaliany ny mpanjaka, ary amin'ny laingany ny mpanapaka.

They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.

Samy mpaka vadin'olona avokoa izy rehetra ka toy ny fatana voafanan'ny mpanendy mofo, izay mitsahatra tsy misorona afo hatramin'ny ametafetany ny koba ka ambara-pitombony.

They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.

Tamin'ny andron'ny mpanjakantsika dia nankarary tena tamin'ny fanafanan'ny herin'ny divay ny mpanapaka; Nifandray tanana tamin'ny mpaniratsira ny mpanjaka.

In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.

Fa entin'ireo ho ao am-panotrehana ny fony, toy ny ho ao amin'ny fatana; Mandritra ny alina dia matory ihany ny mpanendy azy, ary nony maraina dia toy ny lelafo mirehitra ny fatana.

For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.

Samy mahamay toy ny fatana izy rehetra ka mandevona ny andriambaventiny; Efa lavo avokoa, ny mpanjakany, tsy misy miantso Ahy izy rehetra.

They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.

Efraima dia miharoharo amin'ireo firenena; Efraima dia efa tonga ampempa tsy voavadika.

Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

Lanin'ny vahiny ny heriny, nefa tsy fantany akory izany; Eny, efa mipi-bolo ihany izy, saingy tsy fantany.

Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.

Ary ny avonavon'Isiraely dia vavolombelona manameloka azy; Nefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy miverina amin'i Jehovah Andriamaniny ihany izy, na mitady Azy.

And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.

Ary Efraima dia efa tonga tahaka ny voromailala adaladala tsy manan-tsaina; Efa miantso an'i Egypta izy ary efa mankany Asyria.

Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

Raha vao mandeha izy, dia hovelariko aminy ny fandrika haratoko, ka hampidiniko ao toy ny voro-manidina izy; Hofaizako izy araka izay efa nambara tamin'ny fiangonany.

When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.

Lozan'ireny! satria nandositra Ahy izy, haringana izy! satria niodina tamiko; Izaho ta-hanavotra azy, fa izy kosa dia lainga no entiny milaza Ahy.

Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.

Ary tsy mitaraina amiko ao am-pony izy, fa midradradradra foana ao am-pandriany; Mitangorona hitady vary sy ranom-boaloboka izy, dia miodina miala amiko.

And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.

Ary Izaho no nampianatra sy nanatanjaka ny sandriny, nefa izy kosa dia misaintsain-dratsy Ahy,

Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.

Miverina ihany izy, nefa tsy ho amin'ny Avo; Tonga tahaka ny tsipìka manjiona izy; Ho lavon-tsabatra ny mpanapaka azy noho ny firehitry ny lelany; Izany no ho latsany any amin'ny tany Egypta.

They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
