Hosea 5
1 “Listen, you priests! And you [other] Israeli people, you also pay attention! And you who are members of the king’s family, [you also need to] listen, because [I am going to] judge you! Your [worshiping idols] has been [like] [MET] a trap for [the people at] Mizpah [town]; it has been [like][MET] a net spread out [to catch people] at Tabor [Mountain].
Ouvi isto, ó sacerdotes, e escutai, ó casa de Israel, e escutai, ó casa do rei, porque a vós toca este juízo, visto que fostes um laço para Mispah, e rede estendida sobre Tabor.
2 You have done many evil things, so I will punish all of you.
E, matando sacrifícios errados, abaixaram até ao profundo; mas eu serei a correção de todos eles.
3 I know [everything about the people of] Israel; nothing that they have done is hidden from me. Because [the people of] Israel have given themselves [to worshiping idols] like [MET] prostitutes [give themselves to the men they sleep with], they have become unacceptable to me.
Eu conheço a Ephraim, e Israel não se me esconde; porque agora tens fornicado, ó Ephraim, e se contaminou Israel.
4 Because they [like to do evil] things, they will not return to [me], their God. Like prostitutes [who have abandoned their husbands] [MET], they have [IDM] abandoned [MET] me; they do not [even] know me, Yahweh.
Não querem ordenar as suas ações afim de voltarem para o seu Deus, porque o espírito das fornicações está no meio deles, e não conhecem ao Senhor
5 [It is as though] their being proud testifies [PRS] against them. The sins that [the people of] Israel have committed [are like a heavy load that] causes them to stumble, and [the people of] Judah stumble with them.
A soberba de Israel testificará pois no seu rosto: e Israel e Ephraim cairão pela sua injustiça, e Judá cairá juntamente com eles.
6 They will come to worship [me], Yahweh, bringing their herds of sheep and cattle, but they will not [be able to] find me, because I have abandoned them.
Então irão com as suas ovelhas, e com as suas vacas, para buscarem ao Senhor, mas não o acharão: ele se retirou deles.
7 They have abandoned me; and their children do not belong to me [MET]. So [they will not be able to celebrate their festivals at] the new moons [because I] will destroy them and [the crops in] their fields.
Aleivosamente se houveram contra o Senhor, porque geraram filhos estranhos: agora a lua nova os consumirá com as suas porções.
8 Blow the [rams’] horns in Gibeah [town] [and blow] the trumpets in Ramah [town]! Warn [the people at] Beth-Aven [town]; you warriors of the tribe of Benjamin, lead the troops [into the battle].
Tocai a buzina em Gibeath, a trombeta em Rama: gritai altamente em Beth-aven; após ti, a Benjamin.
9 Israel will be ruined on the day that [I] destroy them. What I am telling to the tribes of Israel will certainly [happen].
Ephraim será para assolação no dia do castigo: entre as tribos de Israel manifestei o que certo está.
10 [Because] the leaders of Judah [seized some land that belonged to Israel], they are like [SIM] those who move boundary markers [to get more land for themselves]; [so] I will punish them severely [MET].
Os príncipes de Judá foram feitos como os que traspassam os limites: derramarei pois o meu furor sobre eles como água.
11 And [the people of] Israel will suffer greatly when I punish them, because they are [very] determined to worship idols.
Ephraim oprimido e quebrantado é no juízo, porque assim quis: andou após o mandamento.
12 I will destroy [the people of] Israel like [SIM] ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches) destroy wool, and I will cause [the people of] Judah to be like [SIM] rotten wood.
Portanto a Ephraim serei como a traça, e à casa de Judá como a podridão.
13 When [the leaders of] Israel and Judah saw that the people were suffering because of what [their enemies were doing to them] [MET], they sent [messages] to the great King of Assyria requesting [his help]. But he cannot help you; he cannot cause you to stop suffering, [because I am the one who is punishing Israel and Judah].
Vendo pois Ephraim a sua enfermidade, e Judá a sua inchação, subiu Ephraim à Assyria e enviou ao rei Jareb; mas ele não poderá sarar-vos, nem vos curará a inchação.
14 I will become like [SIM] a lion [DOU] to both nations; I will [attack them and] tear them to pieces. I will drag them away, and no one will [be able to] rescue them.
Porque a Ephraim serei como um leão, e como um leãozinho à casa de Judah!: eu, eu o despedaçarei, e ir-me-ei embora; eu levarei, e não haverá quem livre
15 [After that], I will return to my place [in heaven] until they admit that they have sinned [MTY] and return to me; when they will experience [many] troubles, they will request me [to help them].”
Andarei, e tornarei ao meu lugar, até que se reconheçam culpados e busquem a minha face: estando eles angustiados, de madrugada me buscarão.
