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.

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 the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I [have been] a rebuker 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, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, [and] Israel is defiled.

Ego scio Ephraim, et Israel non est absconditus a me: quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim, contaminatus est Israel.

4 They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms [is] in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.

Non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Deum suum: quia spiritus fornicationum in medio eorum, et Dominum non cognoverunt.

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.

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6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find [him; ] he hath withdrawn himself from them.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 the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.

In Dominum prævaricati sunt, quia filios alienos genuerunt: nunc devorabit eos mensis cum partibus suis.

8 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, [and] the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud [at] Beth-aven, after thee, O Benjamin.

Clangite buccina 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 have I made known that which shall surely be.

Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis: in tribubus Israel ostendi fidem.

10 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: [therefore] 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 [and] broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.

Calumniam patiens est Ephraim, fractus iudicio: quoniam cœpit abire post sordes.

12 Therefore [will] I [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 [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.

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, [even] I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue [him].

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 [and] return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.

Vadens revertar ad locum meum: donec deficiatis, et quæratis faciem meam.
