Hosea 5
1 “Hear this, priests! Pay attention, house of Israel! Listen, house of the king! For judgment is coming against you all. You have been a snare at Mizpah and a net spread over Tabor.
“Isin luboonni waan kana dhagaʼaa! Israaʼeloonnis qalbeeffadhaa! Yaa mana mootii dhaggeeffadhu! Murtiin kun isinitti murama: Isin Miisphaatti kiyyoo, Taaboor irratti immoo xaxoo diriirsaa turtan.
2 The rebels stand deep in slaughter, but I will punish all of them.
Finciltoonni ajjeechaatti jabaataniiru. Ani isaan hunda nan adaba.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me. Ephraim, now you have become like a prostitute; Israel is defiled.
Ani waaʼee Efreem hunda beeka; Israaʼelis na duraa hin dhokattu. Yaa Efreem, ati amma sagaagaltummaatti deebiteerta; Israaʼelis xuraaʼeera.
4 Their deeds will not allow them to turn to God, for the mind of adultery is in them, and they do not know Yahweh.
“Hojiin isaanii akka isaan gara Waaqa isaaniitti deebiʼan hin eeyyamuuf. Hafuurri sagaagaltummaa garaa isaanii keessa jira; isaan Waaqayyoon hin beekan.
5 The pride of Israel testifies against him; so Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their guilt; and Judah also will stumble with them.
Of tuulummaan Israaʼel dhugaa isaanitti baʼa; Israaʼeloonni, Efreem mataan isaa iyyuu cubbuu isaanii keessatti gufatu; Yihuudaanis isaan wajjin gufata.
6 They will go with their flocks and herds to seek Yahweh, but they will not find him, for he has withdrawn himself from them.
Isaan yommuu Waaqayyoon barbaaduudhaaf bushaayee fi loon isaanii fudhatanii deemanitti, isa hin argatan; inni isaan dhiisee deemeeraatii.
7 They were unfaithful to Yahweh, for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon festivals will devour them with their fields.
Isaan Waaqayyoof amanamoo miti; seeraan ala ijoollee godhatu. Yeroo isaan Ayyaana Baatii Haaraa ayyaaneffatanitti inni lafa qotiisaa isaanii ni balleessa.
8 Blow the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah. Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven: 'We will follow you, Benjamin!'
“Gibeʼaa keessatti malakata, Raamaa keessatti immoo gaanfa afuufaa. Beet Aawwen keessatti iyya lolaa dhageessisaa; yaa Beniyaam, ati dura qajeeli.
9 Ephraim will become a desolation on the day of punishment. Among the tribes of Israel I have declared what is certain to happen.
Guyyaa ifannaatti Efreem ni ona. Ani gosoota Israaʼel gidduutti waan mirkanaaʼe nan labsa.
10 The leaders of Judah are like those who move a boundary stone. I will pour my wrath on them like water.
Bulchitoonni Yihuudaa akkuma nama dhagaa daarii dhiibu tokkoo ti. Ani akkuma lolaa bishaanii dheekkamsa koo isaanitti gad nan lolaasa.
11 Ephraim is crushed; he is crushed in judgment, because he has willingly walked after idols.
Efreem sababii waaqota tolfamoo duukaa buʼuu jaallateef akka malee hacuucamee murtiidhaan lafatti dhidhiitame.
12 So I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like rot to the house of Judah.
Ani Efreemitti akka bilii, Yihuudaatti immoo akka daanaʼoo ti.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and Judah sent messengers to the great king. But he was not able to cure you people or heal your wound.
“Yommuu Efreem dhukkuba isaa, Yihuudaanis madaa isaa argetti, Efreem gara Asooritti garagalee mooticha guddaa gargaarsa kadhachuudhaaf nama itti erge. Inni garuu isin fayyisuu, madaa keessanis wayyeessuu hin dandaʼu.
14 So I will be like a lion to Ephraim, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear and go away; I will carry them off, and there will be no one to rescue them.
Ani Efreemitti akkuma leencaa, Yihuudaattis akkuma saafela leencaa nan taʼa. Ani gargar isaan ciccireen biraa deema; ani isaan guureen deema; namni isaan oolchus hin jiru.
15 I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face, until they earnestly seek me in their distress.”
Ergasii ani hamma isaan balleessaa isaanii fudhatanitti iddoo kootti nan deebiʼa. Isaan fuula koo barbaaddatu; rakkoo isaanii keessatti jabaatanii na barbaaddatu.”
