Hosea 5
1 “Listen to this, you priests! Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king! For the judgment is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
“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,
2 The rebels are deep in slaughter, but I discipline all of them.
oana sie luf na loal in Siti Acacia, ac nga fah kai kowos nukewa.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute. Israel is defiled.
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.”
4 Their deeds will not allow them to turn to their God, for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they do not know the LORD.
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.
5 The pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity. Judah also will stumble with them.
Filang lun mwet Israel folokyang lainulos. Ma koluk lalos oru elos tukulkul ac ikori, ac mwet Judah welulos ikori.
6 They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD, but they will not find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.
Elos us sheep ac cow natulos in kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD, a wangin sripa. Elos koflana konalak, mweyen El ngetla lukelos.
7 They are unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.
Elos tia pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD; tulik natulos tia ma natul. Ke ma inge elos, ac acn selos, ac fah sa na kunausyukla.
8 “Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah! Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin!
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!
9 Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be.
Len in kai ac fah tuku, na Israel ac fah sikiyukla. Mwet Israel, nga fahk na pwaye lah ma inge ac sikyak!
10 The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
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.
11 Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment, because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.
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.
12 Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness.
Nga fah oana ulac uh nu sin Israel, ac nga fah oana ma kulam nu sin Judah.
13 “When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound.
“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.
14 For I will be to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.
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.
15 I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”
“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.”
