< 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].
Dinggin ninyo ito, Oh ninyong mga saserdote, at inyong pakinggan ninyong sangbahayan ni Israel, at inyong ulinigin, Oh sangbahayan ng hari, sapagka't sa inyo'y nauukol ang kahatulan; sapagka't kayo'y naging isang silo sa Mizpa, at isang panghuli na nalagay sa Tabor.
2 You have done many evil things, so I will punish all of you.
At ang mga nagsipanghimagsik ay nangagpakapahamak na mainam; nguni't ako'y mananaway sa kanilang lahat.
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.
Aking kilala ang Ephraim, at ang Israel na hindi lingid sa akin; sapagka't ngayon, Oh Ephraim, ikaw ay nagpatutot, ang Israel ay napahamak.
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.
Hindi sila titiisin ng kanilang mga gawain na manumbalik sa kanilang Dios; sapagka't ang pagpapatutot ay nasa loob nila, at hindi nila nakikilala ang Panginoon.
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.
At ang kapalaluan ng Israel ay nagpapatotoo sa kaniyang mukha: kaya't ang Israel at ang Ephraim ay mangatitisod sa kanilang kasamaan; ang Juda'y matitisod ding kasama nila.
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.
Sila'y magsisiyaong kasama ng kanilang kawan at ng kanilang bakahan upang hanapin ang Panginoon; nguni't hindi nila masusumpungan siya: Siya'y umurong sa kanila.
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.
Sila'y nagsigawa ng paglililo laban sa Panginoon; sapagka't sila'y naganak ng ibang mga anak: lalamunin nga sila ng bagong buwan sangpu ng kanilang mga parang.
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].
Hipan ninyo ang korneta sa Gabaa, at ang pakakak sa Rama: kayo'y magsitugtog ng hudyat sa Beth-aven; sa likuran mo, Oh 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].
Ang Ephraim ay magiging kasiraan sa kaarawan ng pagsaway: sa gitna ng mga lipi ng Israel ay aking ipinakilala ang tunay na mangyayari.
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].
Ang mga prinsipe sa Juda ay gaya ng nagsisibago ng lindero: aking ibubuhos ang aking galit sa kanila na parang tubig.
11 And [the people of] Israel will suffer greatly when I punish them, because they are [very] determined to worship idols.
Ang Ephraim ay napighati, siya'y nadikdik sa kahatulan; sapagka't siya'y nasisiyahang lumakad ng ayon sa utos ng tao.
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.
Kaya't ako'y sa Ephraim na parang tanga, at sa sangbahayan ni Juda na parang kabulukan.
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].
Nang makita ng Ephraim ang kaniyang sakit, at nang makita ni Juda ang kaniyang sugat, naparoon nga ang Ephraim sa Asiria, at nagsugo sa haring Jareb: nguni't hindi niya mapagagaling kayo, ni kaniyang mapagagaling man kayo sa inyong sugat.
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.
Sapagka't ako'y magiging parang leon sa Ephraim, at parang isang batang leon sa sangbahayan ni Juda, Ako, sa makatuwid baga'y ako, ay aagaw at aalis; ako'y magaalis, at walang magliligtas.
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].”
Ako'y yayaon at babalik sa aking dako, hanggang sa kanilang kilalanin ang pagkakasala, at hanapin ang aking mukha: sa kanilang pagdadalamhati ay hahanapin nila akong mainam.
