< Hosea 9 >

1 Rejoice not too loudly, Israel, like the nations, for you have commited adultery, being untrue to your God. You have loved a prostitute’s wages on every threshing floor.
Ko mirebeke ry Israele, ko miriñariña an-kobaiñe manahake ondatio; nisitak’ aman’Añahare’o rehe, nitea’o ty tamben-karapilo an-toe-panongàñe eo.
2 Threshing floor and wine vat won’t feed them, the new wine will fail them.
Tsy hahaeneñe iareo o toe- pamofoha’eo naho o fipiritan-divaio, vaho hifotetse ama’e ty divay vao.
3 They will not stay in the Lord’s land, but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and in Assyria they will eat what is unclean.
Tsy ho tambatse an-tane’ Iehovà ao; fa hibalike mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo t’i Efraime, naho hilintseñe hàneñe tsy malio e Asore añe.
4 They will not pour out libations of wine to the Lord, nor please him with their sacrifices. Their bread will be like the bread of mourners: all who eat it will defile themselves. For their bread will be only for their hunger, it will not come into the Lord’s temple.
Ie tsy mañilin-divay am’ Iehovà, naho tsy ho no’e ka o fisoroña’ iereoo, fa hoe mofom-pandala, fonga tiva ze mikama ama’e: a’ iareo avao zay, fe tsy mete mimoak’ amy anjomba’ Iehovày ao ty mahakama’ iareo ty amo arofo’ iareoo.
5 What will you do on the day of the festival? Or on the day of the Lord’s feast?
Ino ty hanoe’ areo amo sabadidam-pitontonañeo? naho amo andro namantaña’ Iehovào?
6 Even if they flee from destruction, Egypt will gather them, Memphis will bury them. Nettles will take possession of their treasure of silver, thorns will push into their tents.
Ingo te nisitaha’ iereo ty fandrotsahañe; fe hatonto’ i Mitsraime, haleve’ i Mofe ho lovae’ o hisatseo ze nisoa amo volafoti’ iareoo; fatike ty hitiry amo kivoho’ iareoo.
7 The days of punishment are come, the days of recompense are at hand, as soon the Israelites will know! ‘The prophet is a fool, the inspired man is raving mad!’ It is because of the greatness of your iniquity and the greatness of your hatred.
Fa tondroke o androm-pitilihañeo fa pok’eo o androm-pamaleañeo; hapota’ Israele zay; dagola ty mpitoky, minè t’indaty entoen-troke, ty amy fitoabora’ o hakeo’oo, bey ty falaiñañe azo.
8 Ephraim acts the spy with my God, a prophet finds the snares of a fowler are in all his ways. In the house of his God they lay hostile plots,
Mpijilojilon’ Añahareko t’i Efraime fe fandri-bom-pitsindroke o sata’ i mpitokiy iabio, toe falaiñañe añ’anjomban’Añahare’e ao.
9 they commit crimes as in the days of Gibeah, God will remember their iniquity. He will punish their sin.
Fa pok’ an-dalek’ ao iereo, naniva vatañe manahake tañ’andro’ i Gibà; toly ndra ho tiahi’e o hakeo’eo vaho ho tilihe’e o tahi’eo.
10 I found Israel like finding grapes in the wilderness. I saw your ancestors like they were the first fruit on a fig tree, but as soon as they came to Baal-peor, they consecrated themselves to shamefulness, and became as abominable as the object of their love.
Tendrek’ ahy hoe valòboke an-dratraratra añe t’Israele; nitreako o rae’eo hoe loham-boan-tsakoa amy fifotora’ey; fe nimoake e Baal-peore naho nañamba-batañe ho ami’ty hasalarañe, vaho naniva vatañe mira amo raha kokoa’ iareoo.
11 Ephraim – like a bird his glory flies away. There will be no more birth, no more motherhood, no more conception.
I Efraime: hitiliñe añe hoe voroñe ty enge’ iareo, ho po-pisamahañe, naho hakoahañe an-koviñe ao vaho tsy am-piareñañe.
12 Even though they bring up their children, I will bereave them until not one is left. Woe to them when I turn away from them!
Ndra t’ie mañabey anake, hampandalàko, tsy hahatoly lahilahy raike; Eka! hankàñe am’iereo ka te isitahako.
13 Ephraim – planted like Tyre in a meadow, But Ephraim too must lead forth their children to slaughter.
I Efraime, manahake ty nahatreavako i Tsore, ie tinongy an-tane fanjàka; fe hakare’ i Efraime ho amy mpanjamañey o ana-dahi’eo.
14 Give them, Lord – what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and shrivelled up breasts!
Atoloro iareo, ry Iehovà ze satri’o hatolotse: toloro hòviñe mampiboloañe naho fatroa kapaike.
15 All their evil began in Gilgal, there I learned to hate them. Because of the evil of their deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will no longer love them, for all their princes are rebels.
E Gilgale iaby o hakeo’eo, tañe ty namotorako falaiñañe am’ iareo, ami’ty halò-tsere’ o sata’eo ty handroahako iareo amy anjombakoy, tsy hikokoako ka; fonga mpiola o roandria’eo.
16 Ephraim is blighted, their root withered. If they do bear children, I will slay the darlings of their womb,
Linafa t’i Efraime, maike o vaha’eo, tsy hamokatse voa ka iereo; aa ndra t’ie mahatoly, haitoako ty sabon-koviñe noro’ iareo.
17 My God will reject them because they have not listened to him, and they will become wanderers among the nations.
Hahifin’Añahare añe iereo, ami’ty tsy fañaoña’ iareo Aze; vaho ho mpirererere amo kilakila’ondatio añe.
