< Hosea 5 >

1 O ye Priestes, heare this, and hearken ye, O house of Israel, and giue ye eare, O house of the King: for iudgement is towarde you, because you haue bene a snare on Mizpah, and a net spred vpon Tabor.
audite hoc sacerdotes et adtendite domus Israhel et domus regis auscultate quia vobis iudicium est quoniam laqueus facti estis speculationi et rete expansum super Thabor
2 Yet they were profounde, to decline to slaughter, though I haue bene a rebuker of them all.
et victimas declinastis in profundum et ego eruditor omnium eorum
3 I knowe Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for nowe, O Ephraim thou art become an harlot, and Israel is defiled.
ego scio Ephraim et Israhel non est absconditus a me quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim contaminatus est Israhel
4 They will not giue their mindes to turne vnto their God: for the spirit of fornication is in the middes of them, and they haue not knowen the Lord.
non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Dominum suum quia spiritus fornicationis in medio eorum et Dominum non cognoverunt
5 And the pride of Israel doth testifie to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquitie: Iudah also shall fall with them.
et respondebit arrogantia Israhel in facie eius et Israhel et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua ruet etiam Iudas cum eis
6 They shall goe with their sheepe, and with their bullockes to seeke the Lord: but they shall not finde him: for he hath withdrawne himselfe from them.
in gregibus suis et in armentis suis vadent ad quaerendum Dominum et non invenient ablatus est ab eis
7 They haue transgressed against the Lord: for they haue begotte strange children: now shall a moneth deuoure them with their portions.
in Domino praevaricati sunt quia filios alienos genuerunt nunc devorabit eos mensis cum partibus suis
8 Blowe ye the trumpet in Gibeah, and the shaume in Ramah: crie out at Beth-auen, after thee, O Beniamin.
clangite bucina in Gabaa tuba in Rama ululate in Bethaven post tergum tuum Beniamin
9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel haue I caused to knowe the trueth.
Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis in tribubus Israhel ostendi fidem
10 The princes of Iudah were like them that remoue the bounde: therefore will I powre out my wrath vpon them like water.
facti sunt principes Iuda quasi adsumentes terminum super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam
11 Ephraim is oppressed, and broken in iudgement, because he willingly walked after the commandement.
calumniam patiens Ephraim fractus iudicio quoniam coepit abire post sordem
12 Therefore wil I be vnto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Iudah as a rottennesse.
et ego quasi tinea Ephraim et quasi putredo domui Iuda
13 When Ephraim sawe his sickenes, and Iudah his wound, then went Ephraim vnto Asshur, and sent vnto King Iareb: yet coulde hee not heale you, nor cure you of your wound.
et vidit Ephraim languorem suum et Iudas 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 vnto Ephraim as a lyon, and as a lyons whelpe to the house of Iudah: I, euen I will spoyle, and goe away: I will take away, and none shall rescue it.
quoniam ego quasi leaena Ephraim et quasi catulus leonis domui Iuda ego ego capiam et vadam tollam et non est qui eruat
15 I will go, and returne to my place, til they acknowledge their fault, and seeke me: in their affliction they will seeke me diligently.
vadens revertar ad locum meum donec deficiatis et quaeratis faciem meam
