Hosea 5
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Hear this, O ye priests, and attend, ye house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king, for unto you pertaineth the judgment; for ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
1[Audite hoc, sacerdotes, et attendite, domus Israël, et domus regis, auscultate: quia vobis judicium est, quoniam laqueus facti estis speculationi, et rete expansum super Thabor.
2And they that fall away are gone deep in making slaughter; and I am rejected of them all.
2Et victimas declinastis in profundum; et ego eruditor omnium eorum.
3I, even I, know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from Me; for now, O Ephraim, thou hast committed harlotry, Israel is defiled.
3Ego scio Ephraim, et Israël non est absconditus a me: quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim; contaminatus est Israël.
4Their doings will not suffer them to return unto their God; for the spirit of harlotry is within them, and they know not the LORD.
4Non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Deum suum, quia spiritus fornicationum in medio eorum, et Dominum non cognoverunt.
5But the pride of Israel shall testify to his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity, Judah also shall stumble with them.
5Et respondebit arrogantia Israël in facie ejus, et Israël et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua: ruet etiam Judas cum eis.
6With their flocks and with their herds they shall go to seek the LORD, but they shall not find Him; He hath withdrawn Himself from them.
6In gregibus suis et in armentis suis vadent ad quærendum Dominum, et non invenient: ablatus est ab eis.
7They have dealt treacherously against the LORD, for they have begotten strange children; now shall the new moon devour them with their portions.
7In Dominum prævaricati sunt, quia filios alienos genuerunt: nunc devorabit eos mensis, cum partibus suis.
8Blow ye the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah; sound an alarm at Beth-aven: 'Behind thee, O Benjamin!'
8Clangite buccina in Gabaa, tuba in Rama; ululate in Bethaven, post tergum tuum, Benjamin.
9Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; among the tribes of Israel do I make known that which shall surely be.
9Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis; in tribubus Israël ostendi fidem.
10The princes of Judah are like them that remove the landmark; I will pour out My wrath upon them like water.
10Facti sunt principes Juda quasi assumentes terminum; super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam.
11Oppressed is Ephraim, crushed in his right; because he willingly walked after filth.
11Calumniam patiens est Ephraim, fractus judicio, quoniam cœpit abire post sordes.
12Therefore am I unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
12Et ego quasi tinea Ephraim, et quasi putredo domui Juda.
13And when Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Contentious; but he is not able to heal you, neither shall he cure you of your wound.
13Et vidit Ephraim languorem suum, et Juda vinculum suum; et abiit Ephraim ad Assur, et misit ad regem ultorem: et ipse non poterit sanare vos, nec solvere poterit a vobis vinculum.
14For I will be unto 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 there shall be none to deliver.
14Quoniam ego quasi leæna Ephraim, et quasi catulus leonis domui Juda. Ego, ego capiam, et vadam; tollam, et non est qui eruat.
15I will go and return to My place, till they acknowledge their guilt, and seek My face; in their trouble they will seek Me earnestly:
15Vadens revertar ad locum meum, donec deficiatis, et quæratis faciem meam.]
