Hosea 8
1 [SET] the trumpet to thy mouth. As an eagle [he cometh] against the house of the LORD: because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
Ano am-palie’o eo i antsivay, hihelañe mb’añ’anjomba’ Iehovà mb’eo re hoe vantio, amy t’ie nivalik’ amy fañinakoy vaho niola amo Fanoroakoo.
2 They shall cry unto me, My God, we Israel know thee.
Hitoreo amako hao t’Israele: Ry Andrianañahare, fa nahafohiñ’Azo zahay.
3 Israel hath cast off that which is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
Fa nahifi’ Israele añe ty soa; horidañe’ o rafelahio iereo.
4 They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
Nampijadoñe mpifeleke iereo, fe tsy boak’ amako; manam-pifehe, fe nofiko; nanoe’ iereo ndrahare avao o volafoty naho volamena’ iareoo, soa te haitoañe.
5 He hath cast off thy calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
I bania’oy ry Somerone, ty nañitoañ’ azo; misolebotse ama’o ty habosehako; ampara’ te ombia t’ie hahatakatse lio-hakeo?
6 For from Israel is even this; the workman made it, and it is no God: yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
F’ie boak’ am’ Israele; rinanjim-pitoroñe; toe tsy Andrianañahare; le ho demoheñe i bania’ i Somerone rey.
7 For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: he hath no standing corn; the blade shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.
Nitongy i tiokey iereo, vaho ho tatahe’ iereo ty tangololahy; tsy hanam-bokatse iereo; tsy hiborake ty taho’e fe ndra t’ie hamokatse, habotse’ ty ambahiny.
8 Israel is swallowed up: now are they among the nations as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
Fa nagodrañe t’Israele; le hoe fanake tsy vara amo kilakila’ ondatio,
9 For they are gone up to Assyria, [like] a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
amy te nionjomb’Asore mb’eo, i borìke lý mirerererey; manambe sakeza t’i Efraime.
10 Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them; and they begin to be minished by reason of the burden of the king of princes.
Aa ndra t’ie nandeta-vatañe amo fifeheañeo, hatontoko henaneo, ie fa ninìke ty amy nampijiniam-panjaka naho o roandriañeo.
11 Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, altars have been unto him to sin.
Nampitombo kitrely handilara’e t’i Efraime; hakeo ama’e i kitrely rey.
12 Though I write for him my law in ten thousand [precepts], they are counted as a strange thing.
Sinokiko ama’e ty raha maro amy Fanoroakoy fe natao’e ho raha ankafaankafa.
13 As for the sacrifices of mine offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
Banabanae’ iereo soron-draho, isoroña’ iareo hena naho kamae’e; fe tsy no’ Iehovà; ho tiahi’e o tahi’ iareoo, vaho ho vale’e o hakeo’ iareoo; himpoly mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo iereo.
14 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof.
Amy te nandikofa’Israele i Mpitsene azey, vaho nandranjy anjomba bey; fa nampitombo kijoly t’Iakobe; aa le hañirahako afo o rova’eo, fonga habotse’e o anjomba’eo.
