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.
'Hear this, O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, And, O house of the king, give ear, For the judgment [is] for you, For, a snare ye have been on Mizpah, And a net spread out on Tabor.
2 And slaughtering rebels they have made deep and I [am] discipline to all of them.
And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I [am] a fetter to them all.
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.
I have known Ephraim, And Israel hath not been hid from me, For now thou hast gone a-whoring, Ephraim, Defiled is Israel.
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.
They give not up their habitual doings, To turn back unto their God, For a spirit of whoredoms [is] in their midst, And Jehovah they have not known.
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 humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity, Stumbled also hath Judah with them.
6 With flock[s] their and with herd[s] their they will go to seek Yahweh and not they will find [him] he has withdrawn from them.
With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek Jehovah, and do not find, He hath withdrawn from them.
7 With Yahweh they have dealt treacherously for children strange they have borne now it will devour them a new moon with portions their.
Against Jehovah they dealt treacherously, For strange sons they have begotten, Now consume them doth a month [with] their portions.
8 Blow a horn in Gibeah a trumpet in Ramah sound an alarm Beth Aven after you O Benjamin.
Blow ye a cornet in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O Beth-Aven, after thee, O Benjamin.
9 Ephraim a waste it will become on [the] day of rebuke among [the] tribes of Israel I make known [something] trustworthy.
Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof, Among the tribes of Israel I have made known a sure thing.
10 They have become [the] leaders of Judah like [those who] displace a boundary on them I will pour out like water wrath my.
Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border, On them I do pour out as water My wrath.
11 [is] oppressed Ephraim [is] crushed of judgment for he was determined he walked after a command.
Oppressed is Ephraim, broken in judgment, When he pleased he went after the command.
12 And I [am] like moth to Ephraim and like rottenness to [the] house of Judah.
And I [am] as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing to the house of Judah.
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 see doth Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, And Ephraim goeth unto Asshur, And sendeth unto a warlike king, And he is not able to give healing to you, Nor doth he remove from you a scar.
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 I [am] as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I — I tear and go, I bear away, and there is no deliverer.
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.
I go — I turn back unto My place, Till that they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they do seek Me speedily!'
