< Hosea 5 >

1 Hear this, priests, and pay attention, house of Israel, and listen closely, house of the king. For there is a judgment against you, because you have become a trap for those you watched over, and a net stretched out over Tabor.
“Denggenyo daytoy a papadi! Ipangagyo a nalaing, balay ti Israel! Dumngegkayo, balay ti ari! Gapu ta um-umayen ti panangukom a maibusor kadakayo amin. Nagbalinkayo a palab-og idiay Mizpa ken iket a naiwayat iti rabaw ti Tabor.
2 And you have led astray victims into the depths, though I am the teacher of them all.
Nakalumlom dagiti rebelde iti panagpapatay, ngem tubngarekto ida amin.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel has not been hidden from me, yet now Ephraim has committed fornication, and Israel has been contaminated.
Ammok ti Efraim, ken saan a nailemmeng kaniak ti Israel. Efraim, nagbalinka itan a kasla maysa a balangkantis; natulawanen ti Israel.
4 They will not set their thoughts to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.
Saanto nga ipalubos dagiti aramidda nga agsublida kaniak a Diosda, gapu ta adda kadakuada ti espiritu ti pannakikamalala, ken saandak nga am-ammo, a ni Yahweh.
5 And the arrogance of Israel will answer to his face. And Israel and Ephraim will fall in their iniquity, and even Judah will fall with them.
Ti kinatangsit ti Israel ket agsaksaksi maibusor kenkuana; isu a maitibkolto ti Israel ken Efraim kadagiti biddutda; ken maitibkolto met kadakuada ti Juda.
6 With their flocks and their herds, they will go to seek the Lord, and they will not find him. He has taken himself away from them.
Mapanda agraman dagiti arban ken tarakenda a mangbirok kenni Yahweh, ngem saandanto isuna a masarakan, gapu ta inyadayona ti bagina kadakuada.
7 They have sinned against the Lord. For they have conceived sons that are strangers. Now one month will devour them with all their own.
Saanda a napudno kenni Yahweh gapu ta naaddaanda kadagiti annak a saan a mayannatup ti linteg ti panagkasar. Ita, ikisapto ida dagiti panagrambak ti baro a bulan agraman dagiti talonda.
8 Sound the bugle in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah. Shout in Bethaven, behind your back, O Benjamin.
Puyotanyo ti tangguyob idiay Gabaa, ken ti trumpeta idiay Rama. Pagunienyo ti ikkis ti gubat idiay Bethaven: 'Surrotendakanto, Benjamin!'
9 Ephraim will be in desolation on the day of correction, for within the tribes of Israel, I have revealed faith.
Agbalinto a langalang ti Efraim iti aldaw iti pannakadusa. Impakaammok kadagiti tribu ti Israel no ania ti pudno a mapasamak.
10 The leaders of Judah have become like those who assume the end. I will pour my wrath over them like water.
Dagiti pangulo ti Juda ket maiyarig kadagiti mangiyak-akar iti mohon. Ibuyatkonto ti pungtotko kadakuada a kas iti danum.
11 Ephraim has been enduring malicious slander and broken judgment, because he began to go after filth.
Naidadanes ti Efraim; naidadanes isuna iti pannakaukom, gapu ta disidido isuna nga agdaydayaw kadagiti didiosen.
12 And I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.
Isu a maiyarigakto iti bassit a tumatayab iti Efraim, ken kas iti buot iti balay ti Juda.
13 And Ephraim saw his own weakness, and Judah his chains. And Ephraim went to Assur, and he sent to the Avenging king. But he will not be able to heal you, nor is he able to release you from your chains.
Idi nakita ti Efraim ti sakitna, ken nakita ti Juda ti sugatna, ket napan ngarud ti Efraim idiay Asiria, ket nangibaon ti Juda iti mensahero iti naindaklan nga ari. Ngem saannakayo a naagasan a tattao wenno napaimbag ti sugatyo.
14 For I will be like a lioness to Ephraim, and like a lion’s offspring to the house of Judah. I myself will seize and go forth. I will take away, and there is no one who can rescue.
Isu nga agbalinakto a kas iti leon iti Efraim, ken kasla iti urbon a leon iti balay ti Juda. Siak, uray siak, rangrangkayekto ket pumanawak; iyadayokto ida, ket awanto ti uray maysa a mangispal kadakuada.
15 I will go and return to my place, until you shall grow faint and seek my face.
Mapanakto ket agsubliak iti lugarko, agingga a mabigbigda ti biddutda ken sapulenda ti rupak, agingga a sipapasnekda a mangbirok kaniak iti panagrigatda.”
