< Hosea 5 >

1 Hear ye this—O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, and ye, House of the King, give ear, for, to you, pertaineth the sentence, —for, a snare, have ye been to Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
“Kowos mwet tol, lohng ma inge. Mwet Israel, kowos in lohang akwoye. Kowos mwet ke sou lun tokosra, porongo. Kowos enenu in orekmakin nununku suwohs — ke ma inge ac fah nununkeyuk kowos. Kowos oana sie sruhf in acn Mizpah, oana sie nwek elakelik Fineol Tabor,
2 And, a slaughter, have apostates deeply designed, —though, I, was a rebuker to them all.
oana sie luf na loal in Siti Acacia, ac nga fah kai kowos nukewa.
3 I, have known Ephraim, and, Israel, hath not been hidden from me, —for, now, hast thou committed unchastity, O Ephraim, Israel, hath made himself impure.
Nga arulana etu ouiya lun mwet Israel — elos tia ku in wikla likiyu. Tiana pwaye insialos nu sik. Elos arulana fohkfokla, ac tia fal in alu nu sik.”
4 Their doings, will not suffer, them to return unto their God, —for, the spirit of unchastity, is within them, and, Yahweh, have they not known.
Ma koluk ma mwet uh oru pa ikololosi in tia folokla nu yurin God lalos. Lungse lalos in alu nu ke ma sruloala sruokolosi ku, pwanang elos tia akilen LEUM GOD.
5 Therefore will the Excellency of Israel, answer, to his face, —and, Israel and Ephraim, shall stumble in their iniquity, even Judah with them, hath stumbled.
Filang lun mwet Israel folokyang lainulos. Ma koluk lalos oru elos tukulkul ac ikori, ac mwet Judah welulos ikori.
6 With their flocks and with their herds, will they go to seek Yahweh, but shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
Elos us sheep ac cow natulos in kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD, a wangin sripa. Elos koflana konalak, mweyen El ngetla lukelos.
7 With Yahweh, have they dealt treacherously, for, to alien children, have they given birth, —now, a new moon, shall devour them, with their portions.
Elos tia pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD; tulik natulos tia ma natul. Ke ma inge elos, ac acn selos, ac fah sa na kunausyukla.
8 Blow ye a horn in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, —sound an alarm at Beth-aven, behind thee, O Benjamin!
Ukya mwe ukuk lun mweun in acn Gibeah! Sulkakin kusen mweun in acn Ramah! Akyokye pusren sasa lun mweun in acn Bethaven! Mwet Benjamin, kowos in fahsrot nu ke mweun!
9 Ephraim, shall become, a desolation, in the day of rebuke: Throughout the tribes of Israel, have I hide known what is sure.
Len in kai ac fah tuku, na Israel ac fah sikiyukla. Mwet Israel, nga fahk na pwaye lah ma inge ac sikyak!
10 The rulers of Judah have become as they who remove a land-mark. Upon them, will I pour out, like water, my wrath.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga kasrkusrak, mweyen mwet kol lun Judah elos moklela masrol in acn Israel ac pisrala acn selos. Ke ma inge nga fah okoala kasrkusrak luk nu faclos oana sie sronot.
11 Oppressed, is Ephraim, crushed in judgment, —because he hath, wilfully, walked after falsehood.
Israel el muta ye keok upa. Acn sel na pwaye itukla lukel, mweyen el ngosrngosrlana in sukok kasru selos su tia ku in sang kasru nu sel.
12 But, I, was like a moth, to Ephraim, —and like rotten wood to the house of Judah.
Nga fah oana ulac uh nu sin Israel, ac nga fah oana ma kulam nu sin Judah.
13 When Ephraim, saw, his injury, and Judah his wound, then went Ephraim unto Assyria, and [Judah] sent unto a hostile king, —yet, he, cannot heal you, nor will the wound, remove from you.
“Ke Israel el tuh liye lah el arulana mas, ac ke Judah el liye kinet kacl sifacna, na Israel el som nu Assyria in siyuk kasru sin tokosra fulat we, tuh tokosra sac el tia ku in akkeyalosla ku unwela kinet kaclos.
14 For, I, will be as a lion unto Ephraim, and as a young lion to the house of Judah, —I, I, will tear in pieces, and depart, I will carry off, and none be able to rescue.
Nga fah atuyang ac lain mwet Israel ac Judah oana soko lion. Nga fah saclosi nu ke ip srisrik ac siselosla. Ke nga ac amakunulosla, wangin mwet ku in molelosla.
15 I will depart, will return unto my place! till what time they acknowledge their guilt, and seek my face, —In their trouble, will they make for me diligent search.
“Nga fah som liki mwet luk nwe ke elos keok fal nu ke ma koluk lalos, ac tuku sukyu. Sahp in keok lalos elos ac srike in koneyuyak.”
