Hosea 5
1 Hear this, O ye priests, and attend, ye house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king, for unto you pertaineth the judgment; for ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
“Kowos mwet tol, lohng ma inge. Mwet Israel, kowos in lohang akwoye. Kowos mwet ke sou lun tokosra, porongo. Kowos enenu in orekmakin nununku suwohs — ke ma inge ac fah nununkeyuk kowos. Kowos oana sie sruhf in acn Mizpah, oana sie nwek elakelik Fineol Tabor,
2 And they that fall away are gone deep in making slaughter; and I am rejected of them all.
oana sie luf na loal in Siti Acacia, ac nga fah kai kowos nukewa.
3 I, even I, know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from Me; for now, O Ephraim, thou hast committed harlotry, Israel is defiled.
Nga arulana etu ouiya lun mwet Israel — elos tia ku in wikla likiyu. Tiana pwaye insialos nu sik. Elos arulana fohkfokla, ac tia fal in alu nu sik.”
4 Their doings will not suffer them to return unto their God; for the spirit of harlotry is within them, and they know not the LORD.
Ma koluk ma mwet uh oru pa ikololosi in tia folokla nu yurin God lalos. Lungse lalos in alu nu ke ma sruloala sruokolosi ku, pwanang elos tia akilen LEUM GOD.
5 But the pride of Israel shall testify to his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity, Judah also shall stumble with them.
Filang lun mwet Israel folokyang lainulos. Ma koluk lalos oru elos tukulkul ac ikori, ac mwet Judah welulos ikori.
6 With their flocks and with their herds they shall go to seek the LORD, but they shall not find Him; He hath withdrawn Himself from them.
Elos us sheep ac cow natulos in kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD, a wangin sripa. Elos koflana konalak, mweyen El ngetla lukelos.
7 They have dealt treacherously against the LORD, for they have begotten strange children; now shall the new moon devour them with their portions.
Elos tia pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD; tulik natulos tia ma natul. Ke ma inge elos, ac acn selos, ac fah sa na kunausyukla.
8 Blow ye the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah; sound an alarm at Beth-aven: 'Behind thee, O Benjamin!'
Ukya mwe ukuk lun mweun in acn Gibeah! Sulkakin kusen mweun in acn Ramah! Akyokye pusren sasa lun mweun in acn Bethaven! Mwet Benjamin, kowos in fahsrot nu ke mweun!
9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; among the tribes of Israel do I make known that which shall surely be.
Len in kai ac fah tuku, na Israel ac fah sikiyukla. Mwet Israel, nga fahk na pwaye lah ma inge ac sikyak!
10 The princes of Judah are like them that remove the landmark; I will pour out My wrath upon them like water.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga kasrkusrak, mweyen mwet kol lun Judah elos moklela masrol in acn Israel ac pisrala acn selos. Ke ma inge nga fah okoala kasrkusrak luk nu faclos oana sie sronot.
11 Oppressed is Ephraim, crushed in his right; because he willingly walked after filth.
Israel el muta ye keok upa. Acn sel na pwaye itukla lukel, mweyen el ngosrngosrlana in sukok kasru selos su tia ku in sang kasru nu sel.
12 Therefore am I unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
Nga fah oana ulac uh nu sin Israel, ac nga fah oana ma kulam nu sin Judah.
13 And when Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Contentious; but he is not able to heal you, neither shall he cure you of your wound.
“Ke Israel el tuh liye lah el arulana mas, ac ke Judah el liye kinet kacl sifacna, na Israel el som nu Assyria in siyuk kasru sin tokosra fulat we, tuh tokosra sac el tia ku in akkeyalosla ku unwela kinet kaclos.
14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah; I, even I, will tear and go away, I will take away, and there shall be none to deliver.
Nga fah atuyang ac lain mwet Israel ac Judah oana soko lion. Nga fah saclosi nu ke ip srisrik ac siselosla. Ke nga ac amakunulosla, wangin mwet ku in molelosla.
15 I will go and return to My place, till they acknowledge their guilt, and seek My face; in their trouble they will seek Me earnestly:
“Nga fah som liki mwet luk nwe ke elos keok fal nu ke ma koluk lalos, ac tuku sukyu. Sahp in keok lalos elos ac srike in koneyuyak.”
