Hosea 5
1 Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
Audite hoc sacerdotes, et attendite domus Israel, et domus regis auscultate: quia vobis iudicium est, quoniam laqueus facti estis speculationi, et rete expansum super Thabor.
2 And the revolters are gone deeply into slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.
Et victimas declinastis in profundum: et ego eruditor omnium eorum.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest harlotry, and Israel is defiled.
Ego scio Ephraim, et Israel non est absconditus a me: quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim, contaminatus est Israel.
4 They will not frame their doings to turn to their God: for the spirit of harlotry is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.
Non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Deum suum: quia spiritus fornicationum in medio eorum, et Dominum non cognoverunt.
5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.
Et respondebit arrogantia Israel in facie eius: et Israel, et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua, ruet etiam Iudas cum eis.
6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
In gregibus suis, et in armentis suis vadent ad quærendum Dominum, et non invenient: ablatus est ab eis.
7 They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
In Dominum prævaricati sunt, quia filios alienos genuerunt: nunc devorabit eos mensis cum partibus suis.
8 Blow ye the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.
Clangite buccina in Gabaa, tuba in Rama: ululate in Bethaven, post tergum tuum Beniamin.
9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis: in tribubus Israel ostendi fidem.
10 The princes of Judah were like them that remove a landmark: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
Facti sunt principes Iuda quasi assumentes terminum: super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam.
11 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
Calumniam patiens est Ephraim, fractus iudicio: quoniam cœpit abire post sordes.
12 Therefore will I be to Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
Et ego quasi tinea Ephraim: et quasi putredo domui Iuda.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim went to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet he could not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
Et vidit Ephraim languorem suum, et Iuda vinculum suum: et abiit Ephraim ad Assur, et misit ad regem Ultorem: et ipse non poterit sanare vos, nec solvere poterit a vobis vinculum.
14 For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
Quoniam ego quasi leæna Ephraim, et quasi catulus leonis domui Iuda: ego, ego capiam, et vadam: tollam, et non est qui eruat.
15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
Vadens revertar ad locum meum: donec deficiatis, et quæratis faciem meam.
