Oséias 5
1 Ouvi isto, ó sacerdotes, prestai atenção, ó casa de Israel; escutai, ó casa do rei; porque contra vós é este julgamento; pois tendes sido um laço em Mispá, e uma rede estendida sobre Tabor.
“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].
2 Os rebeldes têm se aprofundado na matança, mas eu repreenderei a todos eles.
You have done many evil things, so I will punish all of you.
3 Eu conheço a Efraim, e Israel não está oculto para mim; pois agora, ó Efraim, te prostituis, [e] Israel está contaminado.
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.
4 Seus atos não lhe permitem se converterem a seu Deus, porque o espírito de prostituições está no meio deles, e não conhecem ao SENHOR.
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.
5 E a soberba de Israel dará testemunho contra ele. Israel e Efraim cairão em sua maldade, e Judá cairá juntamente com eles.
[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.
6 Com suas ovelhas e com suas vacas irão buscar o SENHOR, mas não o encontrarão; ele se retirou deles.
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.
7 Agiram traiçoeiramente contra o SENHOR, porque geraram filhos estrangeiros; agora a lua nova os consumirá com suas propriedades.
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.
8 Tocai a corneta em Gibeá, a trombeta em Ramá; gritai em Bete-Áven; atrás de ti, ó Benjamim.
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].
9 Efraim será desolado no dia do castigo; nas tribos de Israel eu fiz saber o que certamente [acontecerá].
Israel will be ruined on the day that [I] destroy them. What I am telling to the tribes of Israel will certainly [happen].
10 Os príncipes de Judá são como os mudam os limites; derramarei como água meu furor sobre eles.
[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].
11 Efraim é oprimido, e quebrantado no julgamento, porque quis seguir regras inúteis.
And [the people of] Israel will suffer greatly when I punish them, because they are [very] determined to worship idols.
12 Por isso eu serei como traça a Efraim, e como podridão à casa de Judá.
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.
13 Quando Efraim viu sua enfermidade, e Judá a sua ferida, então Efraim subiu à Assíria, e procurou o grande rei; porém ele não poderá vos sarar, nem curar vossa ferida.
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].
14 Porque eu serei como leão a Efraim, e como leão jovem à casa de Judá; eu mesmo a despedaçarei, e irei embora; eu a levarei, e não haverá quem a livre.
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.
15 Irei, [e] voltarei a meu lugar, até que se reconheçam culpados, e busquem minha face. Em sua angústia, eles me buscarão ansiosamente.
[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].”
