¹[Ny nanjakan'i Hosea, sy ny naharavan'ny fanjakan'ny Isiraely, ary ny fototry ny nahatonga izany] Tamin'ny taona faharoa ambin'ny folo nanjakan'i Ahaza, mpanjakan'ny Joda, no vao nanjakan'i Hosea, zanak'i Elaha, tamin'ny Isiraely tao Samaria; ary nanjaka Sivy taona izy.

¹In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel for nine years.

²Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah izy, nefa tsy dia tahaka ny nataon'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely teo alohany.

²He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him.

³Niakatra hanafika azy Salmanesera, mpanjakan'i Asyria, ka dia tonga mpanompony nandoa hetra ho azy Hosea.[Heb. fanomezana]

³Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him tribute.

⁴Ary ny mpanjakan'i Asyria nahita fa niodina Hosea; fa efa naniraka olona tany amin'i So, mpanjakan'i Egypta, izy sady tsy nanatitra hetra ho an'ny mpanjakan'i Asyria intsony tahaka ny fanaony isan-taona; koa dia nanidy azy ny mpanjakan'i Asyria sy namatotra azy tao an-trano-maizina.

⁴The king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.

⁵Dia niakatra ny mpanjakan'i Asyria ka nanenika ny tany; ary niakatra tany Samaria izy ka nanao fahirano azy telo taona.

⁵Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.

⁶Ary tamin'ny taona fahasivy nanjakan'i Hosea no nahafahan'ny mpanjakan'i Asyria an'i Samaria, dia nentiny ho babo tany Asyria ny Isiraely ka namponeniny tao Hala sy teo amoron'i Habora (dia ny onin'i Gozana izany) ary teny amin'ny tanànan'ny Mediana.

⁶In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

⁷Ary ny nahatongavan'izany dia noho ny nanotan'ny Zanak'Isiraely tamin'i Jehovah Andriamaniny, Izay nitondra azy nivoaka avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta ho afaka tamin'ny tànan'i Farao, mpanjakan'i Egypta, fa natahotra izay andriamani-kafa izy

⁷It was so, because the children of Israel had sinned against Yahweh their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,

⁸ka nandeha araka ny fanaon'ny jentilisa izay noroahin'i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloan'ny Zanak'Isiraely sy araka ny didy izay nataon'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely.

⁸and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom Yahweh cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made.

⁹Ary ny Zanak'Isiraely dia nanao teny tsy marina ho enti-manakona an'i Jehovah Andriamaniny ka nanao fitoerana avo teny amin'ny tanànany rehetra, dia hatramin'ny tilikambon'ny mpiambina ka hatramin'ny tanàna mimànda.

⁹The children of Israel did secretly things that were not right against Yahweh their God: and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;

¹⁰Ary nanangana tsangam-bato-tsampy sy Aseraha ho azy teny amin'ny tendrombohitra avo rehetra sy teny ambanin'ny hazo maitso rehetra izy;

¹⁰and they set them up pillars and Asherim on every high hill, and under every green tree;

¹¹ary nandoro ditin-kazo manitra teny amin'ny fitoerana avo rehetra izy, tahaka ny nataon'ny jentilisa izay noroahin'i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloany, sady nanao zavatra ratsy ka nampahatezitra an'i Jehovah.

¹¹and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the nations whom Yahweh carried away before them; and they worked wicked things to provoke Yahweh to anger;

¹²Fa nanompo sampy, izay nandraran'i Jehovah azy hoe: Aza manao izany zavatra izany ianareo.

¹²and they served idols, of which Yahweh had said to them, “You shall not do this thing.”

¹³Nefa ny mpaminany rehetra sy ny mpahita rehetra dia nasain'i Jehovah nananatra ny Isiraely sy ny Joda hoe: Mialà amin'ny lalanareo ratsy, ary tandremo ny lalàko sy ny didiko, araka ny lalàna rehetra izay nandidiako ny razanareo sy izay nanirahako ny mpaminany mpanompoko ho aminareo.

¹³Yet Yahweh testified to Israel, and to Judah, by every prophet, and every seer, saying, “Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.”

¹⁴Kanefa tsy nihaino izy, fa nanamafy ny hatony, tahaka ny razany, izay tsy nino an'i Jehovah Andriamaniny.

¹⁴Notwithstanding, they would not listen, but hardened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who didn’t believe in Yahweh their God.

¹⁵Ary nolaviny ny didiny sy ny fanekeny izay nataony tamin'ny razany mbamin'ny teni-vavolombelony izay nananarany azy; ary nandeha nanaraka ny zava-poana izy, ka dia tonga zava-poana koa ary nanaraka ny jentilisa manodidina azy, izay efa nandraran'i Jehovah azy mba tsy halainy tahaka.

¹⁵They rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified to them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom Yahweh had commanded them that they should not do like them.

¹⁶Ary nahafoy ny didin'i Jehovah Andriamaniny rehetra izy ka nanao sarin-javatra an-idina ho an'ny tenany, dia ombilahy kely roa, ary nanao Aseraha koa izy sady niankohoka teo anatrehan'izay rehetra eny amin'ny lanitra ary nanompo an'i Bala.

¹⁶They forsook all the commandments of Yahweh their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served Baal.

¹⁷Ary nampandeha ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy hamaky ny afo izy, sady nanao fankatovana sy sikidy ary nivaro-tena hanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah ka nampahatezitra Azy.

¹⁷They caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger.

¹⁸Koa dia tezitra indrindra tamin'ny Isiraely Jehovah, dia nesoriny tsy ho eo imasony izy, ka tsy nisy sisa afa-tsy ny firenen'i Joda ihany.

¹⁸Therefore Yahweh was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

¹⁹Ary ny Joda koa aza tsy mba nitandrina ny didin'i Jehovah Andriamaniny, fa nandeha araka izay rehetra nataon'ny Isiraely koa.

¹⁹Also Judah didn’t keep the commandments of Yahweh their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.

²⁰Dia narian'i Jehovah ny taranak'Isiraely rehetra ka nampahoriny sy natolony ho eo an-tànan'ny mpamabo azy mandra-panaisony azy tsy ho eo imasony.

²⁰Yahweh rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.

²¹Fa nendahany niala tamin'ny taranak'i Davida ny Isiraely; ary ny olona nampanjaka an'i Jeroboama, zanak'i Nebata; ary Jeroboama dia nampiala ny Isiraely tsy hanaraka an'i Jehovah ka nampanota azy indrindra.

²¹For he tore Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following Yahweh, and made them sin a great sin.

²²Ary ny Zanak'Isiraely nandeha tamin'ny fahotana rehetra nataon'i Jeroboama, fa tsy niala tamin'izany izy

²²The children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they didn’t depart from them;

²³Mandra-panaisotr'i Jehovah ny Isiraely tsy ho eo anatrehany, araka izay nampilazainy ny mpaminany mpanompony rehetra. Ka dia lasan-ko babo niala tamin'ny taniny ho any Asyria ny Isiraely ka mbola any mandraka androany.

²³until Yahweh removed Israel out of his sight, as he spoke by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day.

²⁴[Ny nametrahana olona hafa firenena tao amin'ny tany Samaria, sy ny amin'ny fivavahan'ireny] Ary ny mpanjakan'i Asyria nitondra olona avy tany Babylona sy Kota sy Ava sy Hamata sy Sefarvaima ka namponina azy teny amin'ny tanànan'i Samaria nisolo ny Zanak'Isiraely; dia nahazo an'i Samaria ireny ka nitoetra teny amin'ny tanànany.

²⁴The king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and lived in the cities of it.

²⁵Ary raha vao nonina tao ireny, dia tsy natahotra an'i Jehovah; ary Jehovah kosa nampandeha ny liona hamely azy, ka nahafatesan'ireny izy.

²⁵So it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they didn’t fear Yahweh: therefore Yahweh sent lions among them, which killed some of them.

²⁶Dia hoy ny olona tamin'ny mpanjakan'i Asyria: Ny firenena izay nafindranao sy namponeninao eny amin'ny tanànan'i Samaria tsy mahalala izay tokony hatao amin'ny Andriamanitry ny tany any, ka dia nampandeha ny liona hamely azy Izy; ary, indro, nahafatesan'ireny izy noho ny tsi-fahalalany ny fanaon'ny Andriamanitry ny tany.

²⁶Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The nations which you have carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria, don’t know the law of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them, and behold, they kill them, because they don’t know the law of the god of the land.”

²⁷Ary ny mpanjakan'i Asyria nandidy hoe: Iraho ho any ny anankiray amin'ny mpisorona izay nentinareo ho babo avy tany, ary aoka handeha izy ka hitoetra any, dia aoka hampianatra azy izay tokony hatao amin'ny Andriamanitry ny tany any izy.

²⁷Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Carry there one of the priests whom you brought from there; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land.”

²⁸Dia tonga ny mpisorona anankiray avy tamin'izay efa nentiny ho babo avy tany Samaria ka nonina tao Betela, dia nampianatra azy izay fahatahorana an'i Jehovah.

²⁸So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear Yahweh.

²⁹Kanefa ny isam-pirenena mbola samy nanao ny andriamaniny avy ka nametraka azy tao amin'ny trano eny amin'ny fitoerana avo, izay nataon'ny mponina tao Samaria, eny, ny isam-pirenena dia samy nanao tao amin'ny tanàna nitoerany avy.

²⁹However every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they lived.

³⁰Koa ny olona avy any Babylona dia nanao an'i Sokota-benota; ary ny olona avy any Kota nanao an'i Nergala; ary ny olona avy any Hamata nanao an'i Asima;

³⁰The men of Babylon made Succoth Benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

³¹ary ny Avita nanao an'i Nibaza sy Tartaka; ary ny Sefarvita nandoro ny zanany tamin'ny afo ho an'i Adrameleka Anameleka, andriamanitr'i Sefarvaima.

³¹and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

³²Dia natahotra an'i Jehovah ny olona, ary izay avy tamin'ny ankabiazam-bahoaka no notendreny ho mpisorona amin'ny fitoerana avo, ary ireny no nanatitra fanatitra tao amin'ny trano eny amin'ny fitoerana avo nisolo ny vahoaka.

³²So they feared Yahweh, and made to them from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.

³³Jehovah dia natahorany ihany, kanefa mbola nanompo ny andriamaniny avy koa izy araka ny fanaon'ny firenena izay efa nangalana azy avy.

³³They feared Yahweh, and served their own gods, after the ways of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.

³⁴Mandraka androany dia mbola manao araka ny fanaony teo ihany izy: tsy dia matahotra an'i Jehovah, ary tsy dia manao araka ny fomban-drazany, na araka ny lalàna sy ny didy izay nandidian'i Jehovah ny taranak'i Jakoba, izay nataony hoe Isiraely

³⁴To this day they do what they did before: they don’t fear Yahweh, neither do they follow their statutes, or their ordinances, or the law or the commandment which Yahweh commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;

³⁵Sady nanaovany fanekena sy nodidiany hoe: Aza matahotra izay andriamani-kafa, na miankohoka eo anatrehany, na manompo azy, na namono zavatra hatao fanaritra ho azy;

³⁵with whom Yahweh had made a covenant, and commanded them, saying, “You shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;

³⁶Fa Jehovah, Izay nitondra anareo nivoaka avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta tamin'ny hery lehibe sy ny sandry nahinjitra, dia aoka Izy ihany no hatahoranareo, ary ho eo anatrehany no hiankohofanareo, ary ho Azy no hamonoanareo zavatra hatao fanatitra;

³⁶but you shall fear Yahweh, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, and you shall bow yourselves to him, and you shall sacrifice to him.

³⁷Ary ny didy sy ny fitsipika sy ny lalàna ary ny teny izay nosoratany ho anareo no aoka hotandremanareo hatao mandrakariva; ary aza matahotra izay andriamani-kafa;

³⁷The statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do forevermore. You shall not fear other gods.

³⁸Ary ny fanekena izay nataoko taminareo dia aza hadinoinareo; ary aza matahotra izay andriamani-kafa ianareo;

³⁸You shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you; neither shall you fear other gods.

³⁹Fa Jehovah Andriamanitrareo no aoka hatahoranareo; dia Izy no hamonjy anareo amin'ny tanan'ny fahavalonareo rehetra.

³⁹But you shall fear Yahweh your God; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.”

⁴⁰Nefa tsy nety nihaino izy, fa nanao tahaka ny fanaony taloha ihany.Ka dia natahotra an'i Jehovah ihany ireo firenena ireo, kanefa nanompo ny sarin-javatra voasokitra izy hatramin'ny zanany sy ny zafiny koa aza; tahaka ny fanaon'ny razany ihany no nataon'ireny mandraka androany.

⁴⁰However they did not listen, but they did what they did before.

⁴¹Ka dia natahotra an'i Jehovah ihany ireo firenena ireo, kanefa nanompo ny sarin-javatra voasokitra izy hatramin'ny zanany sy ny zafiny koa aza; tahaka ny fanaon'ny razany ihany no nataon'ireny mandraka androany.

⁴¹So these nations feared Yahweh, and served their engraved images. Their children likewise, and their children’s children, as their fathers did, so they do to this day.
