1[Fananarana ny Isiraely noho ny helony] Efraima manodidina Ahy amin'ny lainga, ary ny taranak'Isiraely amin'ny fitaka; Ary Joda mbola mikarenjy tsy manatona an'Andriamanitra, dia ny Iray Masina sy Mahatoky.
1Ephraim is enjoying wind, And is pursuing an east wind, All the day lying and spoiling he multiplieth, And a covenant with Asshur they make, And oil to Egypt is carried.
2Efraima homan-drivotra sady manenjika ny rivotra avy any atsinanana, mandritra ny andro dia ataony betsaka ny lainga sy ny fandozana; Manao fanekena amin'ny Asyriana izy, ary diloilo no entina ho any Egypta.
2And a controversy hath Jehovah with Judah, To lay a charge on Jacob according to his ways, According to his doings He returneth to him.
3Manana ady amin'i Joda koa Jehovah ary tsy maintsy mamaly an'i Jakoba araka ny alehany, ka hatsingeriny aminy ny nataony.
3In the womb he took his brother by the heel, And by his strength he was a prince with God,
4Fony mbola tany am-bohoka dia nihazona ny ombelahin-tongotry ny rahalahiny izy, ary rehefa lehibe izy, dia nitolona tamin'Andriamanitra;
4Yea, he is a prince unto the Messenger, And he overcometh [by] weeping, And he maketh supplication to Him, At Bethel He doth find him, And there He doth speak with us,
5Eny, nitolona tamin'Ilay Anjely izy ka nahery; Nitomany izy sady nifona taminy; Nahita azy tao Betela Izy, ary tao no niresahany tamintsika;
5Even Jehovah, God of the Hosts, Jehovah [is] His memorial.
6Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, Jehovah no hahatsiarovana Azy.
6And thou, through thy God, dost turn, Kindness and judgment keep thou, And wait on thy God continually.
7Koa miverena amin'Andriamanitrao ianao; Tandremo ny famindram-po sy ny rariny. Ary miandrasa an'Andriamanitrao mandrakariva.
7Canaan! in his hand [are] balances of deceit! To oppress he hath loved.
8Kanana eny an-tànany misy mizana miangatra, ny manambaka no tiany.[Na: Mpandranto izy]
8And Ephraim saith: `Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself, All my labours — they find not against me iniquity that [is] sin.`
9Fa hoy Efraima: Fiharian-karena ihany no efa nataoko, nahazo fananana aho; Ny asako rehetra tsy misy hahatonga fahotana na heloka amiko.
9And I — Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, Again do I turn thee back into tents, As in the days of the appointed time.
10Nefa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrao hatrany amin'ny tany Egypta; Ary mbola hampiditra anao an-day indray Aho tahaka ny tamin'ny fotoam-pivavahana.
10And I have spoken unto the prophets, And I have multiplied vision, And by the hand of the prophets I use similes.
11Efa niteny tamin'ny mpaminany koa Aho, sady Izaho no nahabetsaka ny fahitana, ary ny mpaminany dia nampilazaiko ohatra.
11Surely Gilead [is] iniquity, Only, vanity they have been, In Gilead bullocks they have sacrificed, Also their altars [are] as heaps, on the furrows of a field.
12Raha tena heloka Gileada, dia ho tonga zava-poana tokoa izy; Tany Gilgala no namonoany omby betsaka ho fanatitra, koa ny alitarany dia ho toy ny korontam-bato eny am-bavasa any an-tsaha.
12And Jacob doth flee to the country of Aram, And Israel doth serve for a wife, Yea, for a wife he hath kept watch.
13Jakoba nandositra ho any amin'ny tany Syria, Isiraely nanompo hahazoany vady, eny, ny hahazoany vady no niandrasany ondry aman'osy.
13And by a prophet hath Jehovah brought up Israel out of Egypt, And by a prophet it hath been watched.
14Mpaminany no nentin'i Jehovah nitondra ny Isiraely nivoaka avy tany Egypta, ary mpaminany koa no nentina niahy azyNanao izay nahatezitra indrindra Efraima, ka dia havelan'ny Tompony ho eo aminy ny ràny, ary hatsingeriny aminy ny vava ratsy nataony.
14Ephraim hath provoked most bitterly, And his blood on himself he leaveth, And his reproach turn back to him doth his Lord!
15Nanao izay nahatezitra indrindra Efraima, ka dia havelan'ny Tompony ho eo aminy ny ràny, ary hatsingeriny aminy ny vava ratsy nataony.
