< Hosea 5 >
1 '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.
audite hoc sacerdotes et adtendite domus Israhel et domus regis auscultate quia vobis iudicium est quoniam laqueus facti estis speculationi et rete expansum super Thabor
2 And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I [am] a fetter to them all.
et victimas declinastis in profundum et ego eruditor omnium eorum
3 I have known Ephraim, And Israel hath not been hid from me, For now thou hast gone a-whoring, Ephraim, Defiled is Israel.
ego scio Ephraim et Israhel non est absconditus a me quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim contaminatus est Israhel
4 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.
non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Dominum suum quia spiritus fornicationis in medio eorum et Dominum non cognoverunt
5 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.
et respondebit arrogantia Israhel in facie eius et Israhel et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua ruet etiam Iudas cum eis
6 With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek Jehovah, and do not find, He hath withdrawn from them.
in gregibus suis et in armentis suis vadent ad quaerendum Dominum et non invenient ablatus est ab eis
7 Against Jehovah they dealt treacherously, For strange sons they have begotten, Now consume them doth a month [with] their portions.
in Domino praevaricati sunt quia filios alienos genuerunt nunc devorabit eos mensis cum partibus suis
8 Blow ye a cornet in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O Beth-Aven, after thee, O Benjamin.
clangite bucina in Gabaa tuba in Rama ululate in Bethaven post tergum tuum Beniamin
9 Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof, Among the tribes of Israel I have made known a sure thing.
Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis in tribubus Israhel ostendi fidem
10 Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border, On them I do pour out as water My wrath.
facti sunt principes Iuda quasi adsumentes terminum super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam
11 Oppressed is Ephraim, broken in judgment, When he pleased he went after the command.
calumniam patiens Ephraim fractus iudicio quoniam coepit abire post sordem
12 And I [am] as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing to the house of Judah.
et ego quasi tinea Ephraim et quasi putredo domui Iuda
13 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.
et vidit Ephraim languorem suum et Iudas vinculum suum et abiit Ephraim ad Assur et misit ad regem ultorem et ipse non poterit sanare vos nec solvere poterit a vobis vinculum
14 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.
quoniam ego quasi leaena Ephraim et quasi catulus leonis domui Iuda ego ego capiam et vadam tollam et non est qui eruat
15 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!'
vadens revertar ad locum meum donec deficiatis et quaeratis faciem meam
