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.
This is the word of Yahweh that came to Hosea son of Beeri in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash, 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.
When Yahweh spoke at first through Hosea, he said to him, “Go, take for yourself a wife who is a prostitute. She will have children who are the result of her prostitution. For the land is committing great prostitution by forsaking Yahweh.”
3 Dia lasa izy naka an’ i Gomera, zanakavavin’ i Diblaima; ary dia nanan’ anaka ravehivavy ka nitera-dahy taminy.
So Hosea went and married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, 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.
Yahweh said to Hosea, “Call his name Jezreel. For in a little while I will punish the house of Jehu for the bloodshed at Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
5 Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hotapahiko ao amin’ ny tany lemaka Jezirela ny tsipìkan’ Isiraely.
It will happen on the day that I break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”
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.
Gomer conceived again and bore a daughter. Then Yahweh said to Hosea, “Call her name Lo-Ruhamah, for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, that I should forgive them at all.
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.
Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them by myself, Yahweh their God. I will not save them by bow, sword, battle, horses, or horsemen.”
8 Ary rehefa notazana Lò-rohama, dia nanan’ anaka indray reniny ka nitera-dahy.
Now after Gomer had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and bore another son.
9 Dia hoy Jehovah: Ataovy Lò-amy no anarany; fa ianareo tsy oloko, ary Izaho tsy ho Andriamanitrareo.
Then Yahweh said, “Call his name Lo-Ammi, 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 people of Israel will be like the sand of the seashore, which cannot be measured or counted. It will be that where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' it will be said to them, 'You are people 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.
The people of Judah and the people of Israel will be gathered together. They will appoint one leader for themselves, and they will go up from the land, for great will be the day of Jezreel.
