1Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
1[Ny fananarana ny Isiraely noho ny helony] Mihainoa ny tenin'i Jehovah, ianareo Zanak'Isiraely! Fa Jehovah manana ady amin'ny mponina amin'ny tany, satria tsy misy fahamarinana, na fitiavana, na fahalalana an'Andriamanitra eo amin'ny tany,
2By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
2Fa fianianana sy lainga sy vonoana sy halatra sy fijangajangana kosa, eny, manao an-keriny izy ka mifanontona ny fandatsahan-drà.[Na: Fa ny fianianana sy ny lainga sy ny vonoana sy ny halatra ary ny fijangajangana no mihabetsaka]
3Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
3Ary noho izany dia mitomany ny tany ary reraka izay rehetra mitoetra ao aminy, dia ny bibi-dia sy ny voro-manidina; Eny, na dia ny hazandrano any anaty ranomasina aza dia ringana koa.[Na: Mbamin']
4Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
4Kanefa aza misy mandahatra, na mananatra; Fa ny oloko dia efa tahaka ny mifanditra amin'ny mpisorona.
5Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
5Ka dia ho tafintohina antoandro ianao, ary ny mpaminany hiara-tafintohina aminao koa amin'ny alina, ary hovonoiko ny reninao.
6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
6Ringana ny oloko noho ny tsi-fisian'ny fahalalana. Satria ianao efa nandà ny fahalalana, dia mba holaviko kosa tsy ho mpisoroko intsony; Ary efa nanadino ny lalan'Andriamanitrao ianao, ka dia mba hohadinoiko kosa ny zanakao.
7As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
7Araka ny nitomboany no nanotany tamiko, ka dia hampodiko ho henatra kosa ny voninahiny.
8They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
8Ny fanatitra noho ny ota izay aterin'ny oloko dia haniny ka satriny ihany ny ho diso ireny.
9And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
9Ary ho sahala ihany ny hanjo ny olona sy ny mpisorona; Dia hovaliako izy noho ny lalany, ary ny ataony dia hatsingeriko aminy.
10For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.
10Ka dia hihinana izy, nefa tsy ho voky, hijangajanga izy, nefa tsy hihabetsaka, satria Jehovah efa tsy nahoany intsony.
11Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
11Fijangajangana sy divay ary ranom-boaloboka no mahalasa ny saina.
12My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
12Ny oloko dia mila saina amin'ny tapa-kazony, ary ny tehiny no manambara aminy; Fa ny fanahim-pijangajangana no nampania azy, ary lasan-ko janga izy ka tsy manaiky an'Andriamaniny.
13They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
13Eny an-tampon'ny tendrombohitra no amonoany zavatra hatao fanatitra, ary eny amin'ny havoana no andoroany ditin-kazo manitra, dia eny ambanin'ny hazo ôka sy ny popola ary ny terebinta, satria tsara alokaloka ireny; Koa izany no ijejojejoan'ny zanakavavinareo sy ijangajangan'ny vinantovavinareo.
14I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
14Tsy hamaly ny zanakavavinareo Aho, raha mijejojejo izy, na ny vinantovavinareo, raha mijangajanga izy; Fa ny tenanareo aza dia miavaka hankamin'ny mpijangajanga sady mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra miaraka amin'ireo vehivavy mpanolotena hijangajanga ho fanompoan-tsampy, ka dia ho lavo ny firenena tsy misaina.[Heb. ireny]
15Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.
15Na dia mijangajanga aza ianao, ry Isiraely. Aoka ny Joda tsy mba hanota; Ary aza mankany Gilgala na miakatra any Betavena ianareo; Ary aza mianiana hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah!
16For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
16Fa ny Isiraely dia maditra toy ny vantotr'ombivavy maditra; Ankehitriny dia handrasan'i Jehovah toy ny zanak'ondry eny amin'ny malalaka izy.
17Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
17Tafaraikitra amin'ny sampy Efraima; Aoka izy ho eo.
18Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
18Efa lefy ny divainy; Mahery mijangajanga izy; Fatra-pitia henatra ireo mpanapaka azy. [Na: Rehefa mitsahatra ny fibobohany, dia mahery mijangajanga izy][Heb. ampingany]Voapaoky ny elatry ny rivotra izy ka ho menatra noho ny zavatra novonoiny hatao fanatitra.
19The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
19Voapaoky ny elatry ny rivotra izy ka ho menatra noho ny zavatra novonoiny hatao fanatitra.
