Hosea 5
1 Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
“Ẹ gbọ́ èyí, ẹ̀yìn àlùfáà! Ẹ fetísílẹ̀ ẹ̀yin ọmọ Israẹli! Ẹ gbọ́, ẹ̀yìn ilé ọba! Ìdájọ́ yìí kàn yín. Ẹ ti jẹ́ ẹ̀bìtì ní Mispa àwọ̀n ti a nà sílẹ̀ lórí Tabori.
2 And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.
Àwọn ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ti gbilẹ̀ nínú ìpànìyàn gbogbo wọn ni èmi ó bá wí,
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.
mo mọ ohun gbogbo nípa Efraimu Israẹli kò sì pamọ́ fún mi Efraimu, ní báyìí ó ti ṣe àgbèrè Israẹli sì ti díbàjẹ́.
4 They will not frame their doings to turn unto their Elohim: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known YHWH.
“Ìṣe wọn kò gbà wọ́n láààyè láti padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wọn. Ẹ̀mí àgbèrè wà ni ọkàn wọn, wọn kò sì mọ Olúwa.
5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity: Judah also shall fall with them.
Ìgbéraga Israẹli ń jẹ́rìí lé wọn; àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, àti Efraimu pàápàá kọsẹ̀ nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn. Juda náà sì kọsẹ̀ pẹ̀lú wọn.
6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek YHWH; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
Nígbà tí wọ́n bá lọ pẹ̀lú agbo ẹran àti ọ̀wọ́ ẹran wọn láti wá Olúwa, wọn kò ní rí i, ó ti yọ ara rẹ̀ kúrò láàrín wọn.
7 They have dealt treacherously against YHWH: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
Wọ́n jẹ́ aláìṣòótọ́ sí Olúwa wọ́n sì bí àwọn àjèjì ọmọ. Nísinsin yìí, ọdún oṣù tuntun wọn, ni yóò pa wọn run pẹ̀lú ìpín wọn.
8 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.
“Fọn fèrè ní Gibeah, kí ẹ sì fun ìpè ní Rama. Ẹ pariwo ogun ní Beti-Afeni; máa wárìrì, ìwọ Benjamini.
9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
Efraimu yóò di ahoro ní ọjọ́ ìbáwí láàrín àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli, Mo sọ ohun tí ó dájú.
10 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
Àwọn olórí Juda dàbí àwọn tí í máa yí òkúta ààlà kúrò. Èmi ó tú ìbínú gbígbóná mi lé wọn lórí bí ìkún omi.
11 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
A ni Efraimu lára, a sì tẹ̀ ẹ́ mọ́lẹ̀ ní ìdájọ́, nítorí pé, ó pinnu láti tẹ̀lé òrìṣà.
12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
Mo dàbí kòkòrò aṣọ sí Efraimu, Mo sì dàbí ìdin ara Juda.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
“Nígbà ti Efraimu ri àìsàn rẹ̀, tí Juda sì rí ojú egbò rẹ̀ ni Efraimu bá tọ ará Asiria lọ, ó sì ránṣẹ́ sí ọba ńlá náà fún ìrànlọ́wọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n kò le è wò ó sàn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò le wo ojú egbò rẹ̀ jinná.
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 none shall rescue him.
Nítorí pé, èmi ó dàbí kìnnìún sí Efraimu, bí i kìnnìún ńlá sí ilé Juda. Èmi ó fà wọ́n ya pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ èmi ó sì lọ; Èmi ó gbé wọn lọ, láìsí ẹni tí yóò gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀.
15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
Nígbà náà ni èmi ó padà lọ sí ààyè mi títí di ìgbà tí wọn ó fi gbà pé àwọn jẹ̀bi wọn yóò sì wá ojú mi nínú ìpọ́njú wọn, wọn ó fi ìtara wá mi.”
