Hosea 5
1 “Ẹ gbọ́ èyí, ẹ̀yìn àlùfáà! Ẹ fetísílẹ̀ ẹ̀yin ọmọ Israẹli! Ẹ gbọ́, ẹ̀yìn ilé ọba! Ìdájọ́ yìí kàn yín. Ẹ ti jẹ́ ẹ̀bìtì ní Mispa àwọ̀n ti a nà sílẹ̀ lórí Tabori.
“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 you have been a snare on Mizpah, And a net spread out on Tabor.
2 Àwọn ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ti gbilẹ̀ nínú ìpànìyàn gbogbo wọn ni èmi ó bá wí,
And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I [am] a chain to them all.
3 mo mọ ohun gbogbo nípa Efraimu Israẹli kò sì pamọ́ fún mi Efraimu, ní báyìí ó ti ṣe àgbèrè Israẹli sì ti díbàjẹ́.
I have known Ephraim, And Israel has not been hid from Me, For now you have gone whoring, Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
4 “Ìṣe wọn kò gbà wọ́n láààyè láti padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wọn. Ẹ̀mí àgbèrè wà ni ọkàn wọn, wọn kò sì mọ Olúwa.
They do not give up their habitual doings, To turn back to their God, For a spirit of whoredoms [is] in their midst, And YHWH they have not known.
5 Ìgbéraga Israẹli ń jẹ́rìí lé wọn; àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, àti Efraimu pàápàá kọsẹ̀ nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn. Juda náà sì kọsẹ̀ pẹ̀lú wọn.
And humbled has been the excellence of Israel to his face, And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity, Judah has also stumbled with them.
6 Nígbà tí wọ́n bá lọ pẹ̀lú agbo ẹran àti ọ̀wọ́ ẹran wọn láti wá Olúwa, wọn kò ní rí i, ó ti yọ ara rẹ̀ kúrò láàrín wọn.
With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek YHWH, and do not find, He has withdrawn from them.
7 Wọ́n jẹ́ aláìṣòótọ́ sí Olúwa wọ́n sì bí àwọn àjèjì ọmọ. Nísinsin yìí, ọdún oṣù tuntun wọn, ni yóò pa wọn run pẹ̀lú ìpín wọn.
Against YHWH they dealt treacherously, For they have begotten strange sons, Now a month consumes them [with] their portions.
8 “Fọn fèrè ní Gibeah, kí ẹ sì fun ìpè ní Rama. Ẹ pariwo ogun ní Beti-Afeni; máa wárìrì, ìwọ Benjamini.
Blow a horn in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O Beth-Aven, after you, O Benjamin.
9 Efraimu yóò di ahoro ní ọjọ́ ìbáwí láàrín àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli, Mo sọ ohun tí ó dájú.
Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof, I have made known a sure thing among the tribes of Israel.
10 Àwọn olórí Juda dàbí àwọn tí í máa yí òkúta ààlà kúrò. Èmi ó tú ìbínú gbígbóná mi lé wọn lórí bí ìkún omi.
Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border, I pour out My wrath as water on them.
11 A ni Efraimu lára, a sì tẹ̀ ẹ́ mọ́lẹ̀ ní ìdájọ́, nítorí pé, ó pinnu láti tẹ̀lé òrìṣà.
Ephraim is oppressed, broken in judgment, When he pleased he went after the command.
12 Mo dàbí kòkòrò aṣọ sí Efraimu, Mo sì dàbí ìdin ara Juda.
And I [am] as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing to the house of Judah.
13 “Nígbà ti Efraimu ri àìsàn rẹ̀, tí Juda sì rí ojú egbò rẹ̀ ni Efraimu bá tọ ará Asiria lọ, ó sì ránṣẹ́ sí ọba ńlá náà fún ìrànlọ́wọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n kò le è wò ó sàn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò le wo ojú egbò rẹ̀ jinná.
And Ephraim sees his sickness, and Judah his wound, And Ephraim goes to Asshur, And sends to a warlike king, And he is not able to give healing to you, Nor does he remove a scar from you.
14 Nítorí pé, èmi ó dàbí kìnnìún sí Efraimu, bí i kìnnìún ńlá sí ilé Juda. Èmi ó fà wọ́n ya pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ èmi ó sì lọ; Èmi ó gbé wọn lọ, láìsí ẹni tí yóò gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀.
For I [am] as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I tear and go, I carry away, and there is no deliverer.
15 Nígbà náà ni èmi ó padà lọ sí ààyè mi títí di ìgbà tí wọn ó fi gbà pé àwọn jẹ̀bi wọn yóò sì wá ojú mi nínú ìpọ́njú wọn, wọn ó fi ìtara wá mi.”
I go—I return to My place, Until they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they seek Me speedily!”
