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.
“Isin luboonni waan kana dhagaʼaa! Israaʼeloonnis qalbeeffadhaa! Yaa mana mootii dhaggeeffadhu! Murtiin kun isinitti murama: Isin Miisphaatti kiyyoo, Taaboor irratti immoo xaxoo diriirsaa turtan.
2 And they that fall away are gone deep in making slaughter; and I am rejected of them all.
Finciltoonni ajjeechaatti jabaataniiru. Ani isaan hunda nan adaba.
3 I, even I, know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from Me; for now, O Ephraim, thou hast committed harlotry, Israel is defiled.
Ani waaʼee Efreem hunda beeka; Israaʼelis na duraa hin dhokattu. Yaa Efreem, ati amma sagaagaltummaatti deebiteerta; Israaʼelis xuraaʼeera.
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.
“Hojiin isaanii akka isaan gara Waaqa isaaniitti deebiʼan hin eeyyamuuf. Hafuurri sagaagaltummaa garaa isaanii keessa jira; isaan Waaqayyoon hin beekan.
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.
Of tuulummaan Israaʼel dhugaa isaanitti baʼa; Israaʼeloonni, Efreem mataan isaa iyyuu cubbuu isaanii keessatti gufatu; Yihuudaanis isaan wajjin gufata.
6 With their flocks and with their herds they shall go to seek the LORD, but they shall not find Him; He hath withdrawn Himself from them.
Isaan yommuu Waaqayyoon barbaaduudhaaf bushaayee fi loon isaanii fudhatanii deemanitti, isa hin argatan; inni isaan dhiisee deemeeraatii.
7 They have dealt treacherously against the LORD, for they have begotten strange children; now shall the new moon devour them with their portions.
Isaan Waaqayyoof amanamoo miti; seeraan ala ijoollee godhatu. Yeroo isaan Ayyaana Baatii Haaraa ayyaaneffatanitti inni lafa qotiisaa isaanii ni balleessa.
8 Blow ye the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah; sound an alarm at Beth-aven: 'Behind thee, O Benjamin!'
“Gibeʼaa keessatti malakata, Raamaa keessatti immoo gaanfa afuufaa. Beet Aawwen keessatti iyya lolaa dhageessisaa; yaa Beniyaam, ati dura qajeeli.
9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; among the tribes of Israel do I make known that which shall surely be.
Guyyaa ifannaatti Efreem ni ona. Ani gosoota Israaʼel gidduutti waan mirkanaaʼe nan labsa.
10 The princes of Judah are like them that remove the landmark; I will pour out My wrath upon them like water.
Bulchitoonni Yihuudaa akkuma nama dhagaa daarii dhiibu tokkoo ti. Ani akkuma lolaa bishaanii dheekkamsa koo isaanitti gad nan lolaasa.
11 Oppressed is Ephraim, crushed in his right; because he willingly walked after filth.
Efreem sababii waaqota tolfamoo duukaa buʼuu jaallateef akka malee hacuucamee murtiidhaan lafatti dhidhiitame.
12 Therefore am I unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
Ani Efreemitti akka bilii, Yihuudaatti immoo akka daanaʼoo ti.
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.
“Yommuu Efreem dhukkuba isaa, Yihuudaanis madaa isaa argetti, Efreem gara Asooritti garagalee mooticha guddaa gargaarsa kadhachuudhaaf nama itti erge. Inni garuu isin fayyisuu, madaa keessanis wayyeessuu hin dandaʼu.
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.
Ani Efreemitti akkuma leencaa, Yihuudaattis akkuma saafela leencaa nan taʼa. Ani gargar isaan ciccireen biraa deema; ani isaan guureen deema; namni isaan oolchus hin jiru.
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:
Ergasii ani hamma isaan balleessaa isaanii fudhatanitti iddoo kootti nan deebiʼa. Isaan fuula koo barbaaddatu; rakkoo isaanii keessatti jabaatanii na barbaaddatu.”
