Hosea 5

1 “Kowos mwet tol, lohng ma inge. Mwet Israel, kowos in lohang akwoye. Kowos mwet ke sou lun tokosra, porongo. Kowos enenu in orekmakin nununku suwohs — ke ma inge ac fah nununkeyuk kowos. Kowos oana sie sruhf in acn Mizpah, oana sie nwek elakelik Fineol Tabor,

Hear this, O ye priests, and hearken, ye house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king, for unto you pertain the judgment; for ye have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

2 oana sie luf na loal in Siti Acacia, ac nga fah kai kowos nukewa.

And the revolters are gone deep in making slaughter; but I am a rebuker of them all.

3 Nga arulana etu ouiya lun mwet Israel — elos tia ku in wikla likiyu. Tiana pwaye insialos nu sik. Elos arulana fohkfokla, ac tia fal in alu nu sik.”

I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou hast committed whoredom, Israel is defiled.

4 Ma koluk ma mwet uh oru pa ikololosi in tia folokla nu yurin God lalos. Lungse lalos in alu nu ke ma sruloala sruokolosi ku, pwanang elos tia akilen LEUM GOD.

Their doings will not suffer them to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredom is within them, and they know not the LORD.

5 Filang lun mwet Israel folokyang lainulos. Ma koluk lalos oru elos tukulkul ac ikori, ac mwet Judah welulos ikori.

And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity; Judah also shall stumble with them.

6 Elos us sheep ac cow natulos in kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD, a wangin sripa. Elos koflana konalak, mweyen El ngetla lukelos.

They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him: he hath withdrawn himself from them.

7 Elos tia pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD; tulik natulos tia ma natul. Ke ma inge elos, ac acn selos, ac fah sa na kunausyukla.

They have dealt treacherously against the LORD; for they have borne strange children: now shall the new moon devour them with their fields.

8 Ukya mwe ukuk lun mweun in acn Gibeah! Sulkakin kusen mweun in acn Ramah! Akyokye pusren sasa lun mweun in acn Bethaven! Mwet Benjamin, kowos in fahsrot nu ke mweun!

Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: sound an alarm at Beth-aven; behind thee, O Benjamin.

9 Len in kai ac fah tuku, na Israel ac fah sikiyukla. Mwet Israel, nga fahk na pwaye lah ma inge ac sikyak!

Ephraim shall become a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

10 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga kasrkusrak, mweyen mwet kol lun Judah elos moklela masrol in acn Israel ac pisrala acn selos. Ke ma inge nga fah okoala kasrkusrak luk nu faclos oana sie sronot.

The princes of Judah are like them that remove the landmark: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

11 Israel el muta ye keok upa. Acn sel na pwaye itukla lukel, mweyen el ngosrngosrlana in sukok kasru selos su tia ku in sang kasru nu sel.

Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; because he was content to walk after the command.

12 Nga fah oana ulac uh nu sin Israel, ac nga fah oana ma kulam nu sin Judah.

Therefore am I unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

13 “Ke Israel el tuh liye lah el arulana mas, ac ke Judah el liye kinet kacl sifacna, na Israel el som nu Assyria in siyuk kasru sin tokosra fulat we, tuh tokosra sac el tia ku in akkeyalosla ku unwela kinet kaclos.

When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah [saw] his wound, then went Ephraim to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither shall he cure you of your wound.

14 Nga fah atuyang ac lain mwet Israel ac Judah oana soko lion. Nga fah saclosi nu ke ip srisrik ac siselosla. Ke nga ac amakunulosla, wangin mwet ku in molelosla.

For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will carry off, and there shall be none to deliver.

15 “Nga fah som liki mwet luk nwe ke elos keok fal nu ke ma koluk lalos, ac tuku sukyu. Sahp in keok lalos elos ac srike in koneyuyak.”

I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me earnestly.
