Hosea 5
1 Hear this O priests and pay attention - O house of Israel and O house of the king give ear for [belongs] to you the judgment for a trap you have been to Mizpah and a net spread out over Tabor.
Hører dette I Præster! og giver Agt, Israels Hus! og du, Kongehus, laan Øre! thi Dommen angaar eder, fordi I vare en Snare for Mizpa og et udbredt Garn over Tabor.
2 And slaughtering rebels they have made deep and I [am] discipline to all of them.
Og de afvegne ere dybt fordærvede; men jeg er den, som tugter dem alle sammen.
3 I I know Ephraim and Israel not it is hidden from me for now you have prostituted yourself O Ephraim it has made itself unclean Israel.
Jeg kender Efraim, og Israel er ikke skjult for mig; thi nu har du, Efraim, bedrevet Hor, Israel er besmittet.
4 Not they permit deeds their to return to God their for a spirit of prostitution [is] in inner being their and Yahweh not they know.
Deres Idrætter tillade dem ikke at vende om til deres Gud; thi der er en Horeriets Aand i deres Indre, og Herren kende de ikke.
5 And it testifies [the] pride of Israel in face its and Israel and Ephraim they will stumble on iniquity their it will stumble also Judah with them.
Og Israels Stolthed vidner imod det; og Israel og Efraim skulle falde for deres Misgerning, Juda skal ogsaa falde med dem.
6 With flock[s] their and with herd[s] their they will go to seek Yahweh and not they will find [him] he has withdrawn from them.
Med deres Faar og med deres Øksne skulle de gaa hen for at søge Herren, men ikke finde ham; han har draget sig bort fra dem.
7 With Yahweh they have dealt treacherously for children strange they have borne now it will devour them a new moon with portions their.
Imod Herren have de handlet troløst, thi de fødte fremmede Børn; nu skal Nymaaneden fortære dem med deres Agre.
8 Blow a horn in Gibeah a trumpet in Ramah sound an alarm Beth Aven after you O Benjamin.
Blæser i Trompeten i Gibea, i Basunen i Rama! raaber højt i Beth-Aven: Bag dig, Benjamin!
9 Ephraim a waste it will become on [the] day of rebuke among [the] tribes of Israel I make known [something] trustworthy.
Efraim skal blive øde paa Straffens Dag; iblandt Israels Stammer har jeg kundgjort, hvad der staar fast.
10 They have become [the] leaders of Judah like [those who] displace a boundary on them I will pour out like water wrath my.
Judas Fyrster ere blevne som de, der flytter Grænseskel; over dem vil jeg udøse min Harme som Vand.
11 [is] oppressed Ephraim [is] crushed of judgment for he was determined he walked after a command.
Undertrykt er Efraim og knust i sin Ret; thi det tog sig for at vandre efter selvgjorte Bud.
12 And I [am] like moth to Ephraim and like rottenness to [the] house of Judah.
Og jeg er som Møl for Efraim og som Kræft for Judas Hus.
13 And he saw Ephraim sickness his and Judah wound his and he went Ephraim to Assyria and he sent to king Jareb and he not he is able to heal you and not it will depart from you [the] wound.
Der Efraim saa sin Sygdom og Juda sin Byld, da gik Efraim til Assyrien og sendte Bud til en stridbar Konge; men han skal ikke kunne læge eder, og Bylden skal ikke gaa bort fra eder.
14 For I [will be] like lion to Ephraim and like young lion to [the] house of Judah I I I will tear to pieces and I may go I will carry off and there not [will be] a deliverer.
Thi jeg er som en Løve for Efraim og som en ung Løve for Judas Hus, jeg, jeg sønderriver og gaar bort, jeg tager det med, og ingen skal redde.
15 I will go I will return to place my until that they will be held guilty and they will seek face my when it is distress to them they will seek earnestly me.
Jeg vil gaa bort, jeg vil vende tilbage til mit Sted, indtil de kende deres Skyld og søge mit Ansigt; naar de ere i Trængsel, ville de søge mig.
