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.
“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.
2 And you have led astray victims into the depths, though I am the teacher of them all.
Àwọn ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ti gbilẹ̀ nínú ìpànìyàn gbogbo wọn ni èmi ó bá wí,
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel has not been hidden from me, yet now Ephraim has committed fornication, and Israel has been contaminated.
mo mọ ohun gbogbo nípa Efraimu Israẹli kò sì pamọ́ fún mi Efraimu, ní báyìí ó ti ṣe àgbèrè Israẹli sì ti díbàjẹ́.
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.
“Ìṣe wọn kò gbà wọ́n láààyè láti padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wọn. Ẹ̀mí àgbèrè wà ni ọkàn wọn, wọn kò sì mọ Olúwa.
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.
Ìgbéraga Israẹli ń jẹ́rìí lé wọn; àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, àti Efraimu pàápàá kọsẹ̀ nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn. Juda náà sì kọsẹ̀ pẹ̀lú wọn.
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.
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.
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.
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.
8 Sound the bugle in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah. Shout in Bethaven, behind your back, O Benjamin.
“Fọn fèrè ní Gibeah, kí ẹ sì fun ìpè ní Rama. Ẹ pariwo ogun ní Beti-Afeni; máa wárìrì, ìwọ Benjamini.
9 Ephraim will be in desolation on the day of correction, for within the tribes of Israel, I have revealed faith.
Efraimu yóò di ahoro ní ọjọ́ ìbáwí láàrín àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli, Mo sọ ohun tí ó dájú.
10 The leaders of Judah have become like those who assume the end. I will pour my wrath over them like water.
Àwọn olórí Juda dàbí àwọn tí í máa yí òkúta ààlà kúrò. Èmi ó tú ìbínú gbígbóná mi lé wọn lórí bí ìkún omi.
11 Ephraim has been enduring malicious slander and broken judgment, because he began to go after filth.
A ni Efraimu lára, a sì tẹ̀ ẹ́ mọ́lẹ̀ ní ìdájọ́, nítorí pé, ó pinnu láti tẹ̀lé òrìṣà.
12 And I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.
Mo dàbí kòkòrò aṣọ sí Efraimu, Mo sì dàbí ìdin ara 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.
“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.
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.
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.
15 I will go and return to my place, until you shall grow faint and seek my face.
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.”
