Hosea 6
1 Come, let us go back to the Lord; for he has given us wounds and he will make us well; he has given blows and he will give help.
Andeha hiverina ho amin’ i Jehovah isika; Fa Izy no namiravira, ary Izy ihany no hahasitrana antsika; Izy no namely, ary Izy no hamehy ny ferintsika.
2 After two days he will give us life, and on the third day he will make us get up, and we will be living before him.
Rehefa afaka indroa andro, dia hovelominy indray isika; Ary amin’ ny andro fahatelo, dia hatsangany ho velona eo anatrehany isika
3 And let us have knowledge, let us go after the knowledge of the Lord; his going out is certain as the dawn, his decisions go out like the light; he will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.
Dia aoka hahalala, eny, aoka hiezaka hahalala an’ i Jehovah isika; Mahatoky toy ny maraina ny fiposahany, dia ho avy amintsika toy ny ranonorana mivatravatra Izy, sy toy ny fara orana izay mahavonto ny tany.
4 O Ephraim, what am I to do to you? O Judah, what am I to do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew which goes early away.
Inona re no ho azoko atao aminao, ry Efraima? Inona re no ho azoko atao aminao, ry Joda? Fa toy ny rahona maraina ny fitiavanareo sy tahaka ny ando izay levona, raha vao maraina ny andro.
5 So I have had it cut in stones; I gave them teaching by the words of my mouth;
Ary noho izany ny mpaminany no nentiko nikapa azy, ny tenin’ ny vavako no nentiko namono azy; Ary ny fitsarana anao dia hiposaka toy ny mazava.
6 Because my desire is for mercy and not offerings; for the knowledge of God more than for burned offerings.
Fa famindram-po no sitrako, fa tsy fanatitra alatsa-drà, ary fahalalana an’ Andriamanitra noho ny fanatitra dorana.
7 But like a man, they have gone against the agreement; there they were false to me.
Fa ireny dia nivadika ny fanekena tahaka an’ i Adama, tao no nivadihany nahafoizany Ahy.
8 Gilead is a town of evil-doers, marked with blood.
Gileada dia tanànan’ ny mpanao ratsy sady voaloton’ ny rà.
9 And like a band of thieves waiting for a man, so are the priests watching secretly the way of those going quickly to Shechem, for they are working with an evil design.
Ary toy ny fanotriky ny jiolahy no fikamban’ ny mpisorona: Mamono eny an-dalambe mankany Sekema izy, eny, efa nanao fahavetavetana koa izy.
10 In Israel I have seen a very evil thing; there false ways are seen in Ephraim, Israel is unclean;
Tao amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely no nahitako zavatra mahatsiravina: ao ny fijangajangan’ i Efraima, voaloto Isiraely.
11 And Judah has put up disgusting images for himself.
Ny aminao, ry Joda, dia voatendry koa ny andro hijinjana anao, rehefa ampodiko avy amin’ ny fahababoana ny oloko.
