< 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].
Слушайте это, священники, и внимайте, дом Израилев, и приклоните ухо, дом царя; ибо вам будет суд, потому что вы были западнею в Массифе и сетью, раскинутою на Фаворе.
2 You have done many evil things, so I will punish all of you.
Глубоко погрязли они в распутстве; но Я накажу всех их.
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.
Ефрема Я знаю, и Израиль не сокрыт от Меня; ибо ты блудодействуешь, Ефрем, и Израиль осквернился.
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.
Дела их не допускают их обратиться к Богу своему, ибо дух блуда внутри них, и Господа они не познали.
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.
И гордость Израиля унижена в глазах их; и Израиль и Ефрем падут от нечестия своего; падет и Иуда с ними.
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.
С овцами своими и волами своими пойдут искать Господа и не найдут Его: Он удалился от них.
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.
Господу они изменили, потому что родили чужих детей; ныне новый месяц поест их с их имуществом.
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].
Вострубите рогом в Гиве, трубою в Раме; возглашайте в Беф-Авене: за тобою, Вениамин!
9 Israel will be ruined on the day that [I] destroy them. What I am telling to the tribes of Israel will certainly [happen].
Ефрем сделается пустынею в день наказания; между коленами Израилевыми Я возвестил это.
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].
Вожди Иудины стали подобны передвигающим межи: изолью на них гнев Мой, как воду.
11 And [the people of] Israel will suffer greatly when I punish them, because they are [very] determined to worship idols.
Угнетен Ефрем, поражен судом; ибо захотел ходить вслед суетных.
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.
И буду как моль для Ефрема и как червь для дома Иудина.
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].
И увидел Ефрем болезнь свою, и Иуда - свою рану, и пошел Ефрем к Ассуру, и послал к царю Иареву; но он не может исцелить вас и не излечит вас от раны.
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.
Ибо Я как лев для Ефрема и как скимен для дома Иудина; Я, Я растерзаю и уйду; унесу, и никто не спасет.
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].”
Пойду, возвращусь в Мое место, доколе они не признают себя виновными и не взыщут лица Моего.
