Hosea 1

1 Ny tenin’ i Jehovah, izay tonga tamin’ i Hosea, zanak’ i Bery, tamin’ ny andro nanjakan’ i Ozia sy Jotama sy Ahaza ary Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, sy tamin’ ny andron’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.

The word of the Lord which came to Osee the son of Beeri, in the days of Ozias, and Joatham, and Achaz, and Ezekias, kings of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joas, king of Israel.

2 Tamin’ ny niandohan’ ny nitenenan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Hosea dia hoy Jehovah taminy: Andeha ianao maka vady izay efa tena janga sy zanaky ny fijangajangana; fa fatra-pijangajanga miala amin’ i Jehovah ny tany.

The beginning of the word of the Lord by Osee. And the Lord said to Osee, Go, take to yourself a wife of fornication, and children of fornication: for the land will surely go a-whoring in departing from the Lord.

3 Dia lasa izy naka an’ i Gomera, zanakavavin’ i Diblaima; ary dia nanan’ anaka ravehivavy ka nitera-dahy taminy.

So he went and took Gomer, daughter of Debelaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.

4 Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Ataovy Jezirela no anarany; fa vetivety dia hovaliako ny taranak’ i Jeho noho ny rà nalatsaka tao Jezirela, ary hatsahatro ny fanjakan’ ny taranak’ Isiraely.

And the Lord said to him, Call his name Jezrael; for yet a little [while], and I will avenge the blood of Jezrael on the house of Juda, and will make to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

5 Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hotapahiko ao amin’ ny tany lemaka Jezirela ny tsipìkan’ Isiraely.

And it shall be, in that day, [that] I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezrael.

6 Ary nanan’ anaka indray ravehivavy ka nitera-bavy. Dia hoy Jehovah taminy: Ataovy Lò-rohama no anarany; fa tsy hamindra fo amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely intsony Aho, eny, tsy havelako mihitsy ny helony.

And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And he said to him, Call her name, Unpitied: for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, but will surely set myself in array against them.

7 Fa ny taranak’ i Joda no hamindrako fo, ary Izaho Jehovah Andriamaniny no hamonjy azy, nefa tsy amin’ ny tsipìka, na amin’ ny sabatra, na amin’ ny ady, na amin’ ny soavaly, na amin’ ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly.

But I will have mercy on the house of Juda, and will save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them with bow, nor with sword, nor by war, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.

8 Ary rehefa notazana Lò-rohama, dia nanan’ anaka indray reniny ka nitera-dahy.

And she weaned Unpitied; and she conceived again, and bore a son.

9 Dia hoy Jehovah: Ataovy Lò-amy no anarany; fa ianareo tsy oloko, ary Izaho tsy ho Andriamanitrareo.

And he said, Call his name, Not my people: for you are not my people, and I am not your [God].

10 Kanefa, na dia izany aza, ny isan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia ho betsaka toy ny fasika amin’ ny ranomasina, izay tsy azo afatra sady tsy tambo isaina; ary any amin’ ny tany izay nilazana taminy hoe: Tsy oloko ianareo, dia any no hanaovana aminy hoe: Zanak’ Andriamanitra velona ianareo.

Yet the number of the children of Israel was as the sand of the sea, which shall not be measured nor numbered: and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, even they shall be called the sons of the living God.

11 Dia hiara-mivory ny taranak’ i Joda sy ny taranak’ Isiraely ka hifidy anankiray ho lohany izy, dia hiakatra hiala amin’ ny tany, fa ho lehibe ny andron’ i Jezirda.

And the children of Juda shall be gathered, and the children of Israel together, and shall appoint themselves one head, and shall come up out of the land: for great [shall be] the day of Jezrael.
