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.
Preestis, here ye this, and the hous of Israel, perseyue ye, and the hous of the kyng, herkne ye; for whi doom is to you, for ye ben maad a snare to lokyng afer, and as a net spred abrood on Thabor.
2 And slaughtering rebels they have made deep and I [am] discipline to all of them.
And ye bowiden doun sacrifices in to depthe; and Y am the lernere of alle hem.
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.
Y knowe Effraym, and Israel is not hid fro me; for now Effraym dide fornicacioun, Israel is defoulid.
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.
Thei schulen not yiue her thouytis, that thei turne ayen to her God; for the spirit of fornicacioun is in the myddis of hem, and thei knewen not the Lord.
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.
And the boost of Israel schal answere in to the face therof, and Israel and Effraym schulen falle in her wickidnesse; also Judas schal falle with hem.
6 With flock[s] their and with herd[s] their they will go to seek Yahweh and not they will find [him] he has withdrawn from them.
In her flockis, and in her droues thei schulen go to seke the Lord, and thei schulen not fynde; he is takun awei fro hem.
7 With Yahweh they have dealt treacherously for children strange they have borne now it will devour them a new moon with portions their.
Thei trespassiden ayens the Lord, for thei gendriden alien sones; now the monethe schal deuoure hem with her partis.
8 Blow a horn in Gibeah a trumpet in Ramah sound an alarm Beth Aven after you O Benjamin.
Sowne ye with a clarioun in Gabaa, with a trumpe in Rama; yelle ye in Bethauen, after thi bak, Beniamyn.
9 Ephraim a waste it will become on [the] day of rebuke among [the] tribes of Israel I make known [something] trustworthy.
Effraym schal be in to desolacioun, in the dai of amendyng, and in the lynagis of Israel Y schewide feith.
10 They have become [the] leaders of Judah like [those who] displace a boundary on them I will pour out like water wrath my.
The princes of Juda ben maad as takynge terme; Y schal schede out on hem my wraththe as watir.
11 [is] oppressed Ephraim [is] crushed of judgment for he was determined he walked after a command.
Effraym suffrith fals chalenge, and is brokun bi doom; for he bigan to go after filthis.
12 And I [am] like moth to Ephraim and like rottenness to [the] house of Judah.
And Y am as a mouyte to Effraym, and as rot to the hous of Juda.
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.
And Effraym siy his sikenesse, and Judas siy his boond. And Effraym yede to Assur, and sente to the kyng veniere. And he mai not saue you, nether he mai vnbynde the boond fro you.
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.
For Y am as a lionesse to Effraym, and as a whelp of a lioun to the hous of Juda.
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.
Y my silf schal take, and go, and take awei, and noon is that schal delyuere. I schal go, and turne ayen to my place, til ye failen, and seken my face.
