Hosea 5
1 Hear this, O ye priests, and hearken, O house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king, for to you pertains the judgment. For ye have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
Audite hoc sacerdotes, et attendite domus Israel, et domus regis auscultate: quia vobis iudicium est, quoniam laqueus facti estis speculationi, et rete expansum super Thabor.
2 And the revolters have gone deep in making slaughter, but I am a rebuker of them all.
Et victimas declinastis in profundum: et ego eruditor omnium eorum.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me. For now, O Ephraim, thou have played the harlot; Israel is defiled.
Ego scio Ephraim, et Israel non est absconditus a me: quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim, contaminatus est Israel.
4 Their doings will not allow them to turn to their God, for the spirit of whoredom is within them, and they do not know Jehovah.
Non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Deum suum: quia spiritus fornicationum in medio eorum, et Dominum non cognoverunt.
5 And the pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity. Judah also shall stumble with them.
Et respondebit arrogantia Israel in facie eius: et Israel, et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua, ruet etiam Iudas cum eis.
6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah, but they shall not find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.
In gregibus suis, et in armentis suis vadent ad quærendum Dominum, et non invenient: ablatus est ab eis.
7 They have dealt treacherously against Jehovah, for they have borne strange sons. Now the new moon shall devour them with their fields.
In Dominum prævaricati sunt, quia filios alienos genuerunt: nunc devorabit eos mensis cum partibus suis.
8 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah. Sound an alarm at Beth-aven, behind thee, O Benjamin.
Clangite buccina in Gabaa, tuba in Rama: ululate in Bethaven, post tergum tuum Beniamin.
9 Ephraim shall become a desolation in the day of rebuke. I have made known that which shall surely be among the tribes of Israel.
Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis: in tribubus Israel ostendi fidem.
10 The rulers of Judah are like those who remove the landmark. I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
Facti sunt principes Iuda quasi assumentes terminum: super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam.
11 Ephraim is oppressed. He is crushed in judgment, because he was content to walk after man's command.
Calumniam patiens est Ephraim, fractus iudicio: quoniam cœpit abire post sordes.
12 Therefore I am to Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
Et ego quasi tinea Ephraim: et quasi putredo domui Iuda.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb. But he is not able to heal you, nor will he cure you of your wound.
Et vidit Ephraim languorem suum, et Iuda vinculum suum: et abiit Ephraim ad Assur, et misit ad regem Ultorem: et ipse non poterit sanare vos, nec solvere poterit a vobis vinculum.
14 For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear and go away, I will carry off, and there shall be none to deliver.
Quoniam ego quasi leæna Ephraim, et quasi catulus leonis domui Iuda: ego, ego capiam, et vadam: tollam, et non est qui eruat.
15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.
Vadens revertar ad locum meum: donec deficiatis, et quæratis faciem meam.
