Hosea 5

1 Hear ye this, O ye priests, And hearken, O house of Israel, And give ear, O house of the king! For judgment is coming upon you, Because ye have been a snare at Mizpah, And an outspread net upon Tabor.

Audite hoc, sacerdotes, et attendite, domus Israël, et domus regis, auscultate: quia vobis judicium est, quoniam laqueus facti estis speculationi, et rete expansum super Thabor.

2 By their sacrifices they commit deep transgression, And I will bring chastisement upon them all.

Et victimas declinastis in profundum; et ego eruditor omnium eorum.

3 I know Ephraim, And Israel is not hidden from me; For thou committest fornication, O Ephraim, And Israel is defiled.

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

4 They will not frame their doings To return to their God; For a spirit of fornication is within them, And they have no regard to Jehovah.

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

5 The pride of Israel testifieth to his face; Therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.

Et respondebit arrogantia Israël in facie ejus, et Israël et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua: ruet etiam Judas cum eis.

6 With their flocks and with their herds shall they go to seek Jehovah, And shall not find him; He hath withdrawn himself from them.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 been false to Jehovah, For they have begotten strange children; Now shall the new moon consume them with their possessions.

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

8 Blow ye the trumpet in Gibeah, And the cornet in Ramah; Cry aloud at Bethaven! Look behind thee, O Benjamin!

Clangite buccina in Gabaa, tuba in Rama; ululate in Bethaven, post tergum tuum, Benjamin.

9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel do I make known what is sure.

Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis; in tribubus Israël ostendi fidem.

10 The princes of Judah are like them that remove the land mark; I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

Facti sunt principes Juda quasi assumentes terminum; super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam.

11 Ephraim is oppressed; he is crushed with punishment, Because he willingly walked after the decree.

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

12 I am as a moth to Ephraim, And as rottenness to the house of Judah.

Et ego quasi tinea Ephraim, et quasi putredo domui Juda.

13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, And Judah his wound, Then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, And Judah sent to the hostile king; But he will not be able to heal you, Nor will he cure you of your wound.

Et vidit Ephraim languorem suum, et Juda 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 as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear, and will depart; I will take away, and none shall rescue.

Quoniam ego quasi leæna Ephraim, et quasi catulus leonis domui Juda. Ego, ego capiam, et vadam; tollam, et non est qui eruat.

15 I will go back to my place, Till they have suffered for their sin, and seek my face! In their affliction they will seek me early.

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