Osee 5
1 Hear these things, you priests; and attend, O house of Israel; and listen, O house of the king; for the controversy is with you, because you have been a snare in Scopia, and as a net spread on Itabyrium,
“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 which they that hunt the prey have fixed: but I will correct you.
Finciltoonni ajjeechaatti jabaataniiru. Ani isaan hunda nan adaba.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not far from me: for now Ephraim has gone grievously a-whoring, Israel is defiled.
Ani waaʼee Efreem hunda beeka; Israaʼelis na duraa hin dhokattu. Yaa Efreem, ati amma sagaagaltummaatti deebiteerta; Israaʼelis xuraaʼeera.
4 They have not framed their counsels to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in them, and they have not known the Lord.
“Hojiin isaanii akka isaan gara Waaqa isaaniitti deebiʼan hin eeyyamuuf. Hafuurri sagaagaltummaa garaa isaanii keessa jira; isaan Waaqayyoon hin beekan.
5 And the pride of Israel shall be brought low before his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall in their iniquities; and Judas also shall fall with them.
Of tuulummaan Israaʼel dhugaa isaanitti baʼa; Israaʼeloonni, Efreem mataan isaa iyyuu cubbuu isaanii keessatti gufatu; Yihuudaanis isaan wajjin gufata.
6 They shall go with sheep and calves diligently to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him, for he has withdrawn himself from them.
Isaan yommuu Waaqayyoon barbaaduudhaaf bushaayee fi loon isaanii fudhatanii deemanitti, isa hin argatan; inni isaan dhiisee deemeeraatii.
7 For they have forsaken the Lord; for strange children have been born to them: now shall the cankerworm devour them and their heritages.
Isaan Waaqayyoof amanamoo miti; seeraan ala ijoollee godhatu. Yeroo isaan Ayyaana Baatii Haaraa ayyaaneffatanitti inni lafa qotiisaa isaanii ni balleessa.
8 Blow you the trumpet on the hills, sound aloud on the heights: proclaim in the house of On, Benjamin is amazed.
“Gibeʼaa keessatti malakata, Raamaa keessatti immoo gaanfa afuufaa. Beet Aawwen keessatti iyya lolaa dhageessisaa; yaa Beniyaam, ati dura qajeeli.
9 Ephraim has come to nothing in the days of reproof: in the tribes of Israel I have shown faithful [dealings].
Guyyaa ifannaatti Efreem ni ona. Ani gosoota Israaʼel gidduutti waan mirkanaaʼe nan labsa.
10 The princes of Juda became as they that removed the bounds: I will pour out upon them my fury as water.
Bulchitoonni Yihuudaa akkuma nama dhagaa daarii dhiibu tokkoo ti. Ani akkuma lolaa bishaanii dheekkamsa koo isaanitti gad nan lolaasa.
11 Ephraim altogether prevailed against his adversary, he trod judgment under foot, for he began to go after vanities.
Efreem sababii waaqota tolfamoo duukaa buʼuu jaallateef akka malee hacuucamee murtiidhaan lafatti dhidhiitame.
12 Therefore I [will be] as consternation to Ephraim, and as a goad to the house of Juda.
Ani Efreemitti akka bilii, Yihuudaatti immoo akka daanaʼoo ti.
13 And Ephraim saw his disease, and Judas his pain; then Ephraim went to the Assyrians, and sent ambassadors to king Jarim: but he could not heal you, and your pain shall in nowise cease from you.
“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 Therefore I am as a panther to Ephraim, and as a lion to the house of Juda: and I will tear, and go away; and I will take, 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, until they are brought to nothing, and [then] shall they seek my face.
Ergasii ani hamma isaan balleessaa isaanii fudhatanitti iddoo kootti nan deebiʼa. Isaan fuula koo barbaaddatu; rakkoo isaanii keessatti jabaatanii na barbaaddatu.”
