1Come and let us return unto Jehovah: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
1Andeha 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.
2After two days will he revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before his face;
2Rehefa afaka indroa andro, dia hovelominy indray isika; Ary amin'ny andro fahatelo, dia hatsangany ho velona eo anatrehany isika
3and we shall know, -- we shall follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is assured as the morning dawn; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain which watereth the earth.
3Dia 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.
4What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do unto thee, Judah? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away.
4Inona 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.
5Therefore have I hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and my judgment goeth forth as the light.
5Ary 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.
6For I delight in loving-kindness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.
6Fa famindram-po no sitrako, fa tsy fanatitra alatsa-drà, ary fahalalana an'Andriamanitra noho ny fanatitra dorana.
7But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
7Fa ireny dia nivadika ny fanekena tahaka an'i Adama, tao no nivadihany nahafoizany Ahy.
8Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity; it is tracked with blood.
8Gileada dia tanànan'ny mpanao ratsy sady voaloton'ny rà.
9And as troops of robbers lie in wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way of Shechem; yea, they commit lewdness.
9Ary toy ny fanotriky ny jiolahy no fikamban'ny mpisorona: Mamono eny an-dalambe mankany Sekema izy, eny, efa nanao fahavetavetana koa izy.
10In the house of Israel have I seen a horrible thing: the whoredom of Ephraim is there; Israel is defiled.
10Tao amin'ny taranak'Isiraely no nahitako zavatra mahatsiravina: ao ny fijangajangan'i Efraima, voaloto Isiraely.Ny aminao, ry Joda, dia voatendry koa ny andro hijinjana anao, rehefa ampodiko avy amin'ny fahababoana ny oloko.
11Also, for thee, Judah, is a harvest appointed, when I shall turn again the captivity of my people.
11Ny aminao, ry Joda, dia voatendry koa ny andro hijinjana anao, rehefa ampodiko avy amin'ny fahababoana ny oloko.
