Hosea 5
1 "Listen to this, you priests. Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king. For the judgment is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on 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 The rebels are deep in slaughter; but I discipline all of them.
Finciltoonni ajjeechaatti jabaataniiru. Ani isaan hunda nan adaba.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute. Israel is defiled.
Ani waaʼee Efreem hunda beeka; Israaʼelis na duraa hin dhokattu. Yaa Efreem, ati amma sagaagaltummaatti deebiteerta; Israaʼelis xuraaʼeera.
4 Their deeds won't allow them to turn to their God; for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they do not know the LORD.
“Hojiin isaanii akka isaan gara Waaqa isaaniitti deebiʼan hin eeyyamuuf. Hafuurri sagaagaltummaa garaa isaanii keessa jira; isaan Waaqayyoon hin beekan.
5 The pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity. Judah also will stumble with them.
Of tuulummaan Israaʼel dhugaa isaanitti baʼa; Israaʼeloonni, Efreem mataan isaa iyyuu cubbuu isaanii keessatti gufatu; Yihuudaanis isaan wajjin gufata.
6 They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they won't find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.
Isaan yommuu Waaqayyoon barbaaduudhaaf bushaayee fi loon isaanii fudhatanii deemanitti, isa hin argatan; inni isaan dhiisee deemeeraatii.
7 They are unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.
Isaan Waaqayyoof amanamoo miti; seeraan ala ijoollee godhatu. Yeroo isaan Ayyaana Baatii Haaraa ayyaaneffatanitti inni lafa qotiisaa isaanii ni balleessa.
8 "Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah. Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin.
“Gibeʼaa keessatti malakata, Raamaa keessatti immoo gaanfa afuufaa. Beet Aawwen keessatti iyya lolaa dhageessisaa; yaa Beniyaam, ati dura qajeeli.
9 Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be.
Guyyaa ifannaatti Efreem ni ona. Ani gosoota Israaʼel gidduutti waan mirkanaaʼe nan labsa.
10 The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
Bulchitoonni Yihuudaa akkuma nama dhagaa daarii dhiibu tokkoo ti. Ani akkuma lolaa bishaanii dheekkamsa koo isaanitti gad nan lolaasa.
11 Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; Because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.
Efreem sababii waaqota tolfamoo duukaa buʼuu jaallateef akka malee hacuucamee murtiidhaan lafatti dhidhiitame.
12 Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness.
Ani Efreemitti akka bilii, Yihuudaatti immoo akka daanaʼoo ti.
13 "When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will 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 to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one 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 acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction 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.”
