Hosea 5
1 Hear this, ye priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ear, O house of the king: for this judgment is for you; 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 they have plunged themselves in the corruption of apostasy, but I will be a chastiser 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, Ephraim, thou hast committed whoredom; Israel is defiled.
Ego scio Ephraim, et Israel non est absconditus a me: quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim, contaminatus est Israel.
4 Their doings do not allow them to return unto their God; for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they know not Jehovah.
Non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Deum suum: quia spiritus fornicationum in medio eorum, et Dominum non cognoverunt.
5 And Israel's pride doth testify to his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall by their iniquity: Judah also shall fall 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6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah; but they shall not find [him]: he hath withdrawn himself from them.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 begotten strange children: now shall the new moon devour them, with their allotted possessions.
In Dominum prævaricati sunt, quia filios alienos genuerunt: nunc devorabit eos mensis cum partibus suis.
8 Blow the horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah; cry aloud [at] Beth-aven: behind thee, O Benjamin!
Clangite buccina in Gabaa, tuba in Rama: ululate in Bethaven, post tergum tuum Beniamin.
9 Ephraim shall be a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which is sure.
Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis: in tribubus Israel ostendi fidem.
10 The princes of Judah are become like them that 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, crushed in judgment, because in selfwill he walked after the commandment [of man].
Calumniam patiens est Ephraim, fractus iudicio: quoniam cœpit abire post sordes.
12 And I will be unto 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 his sore, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb; but he was unable to heal you, nor hath he removed your sore.
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 unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah. I, 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 away, I will return to my place, till they acknowledge their trespass, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
Vadens revertar ad locum meum: donec deficiatis, et quæratis faciem meam.
