Hosea 5
Magandang Balita Biblia
5 “Pakinggan ninyo ito, mga pari!
Dinggin ninyo ito, sambahayan ni Israel!
Makinig kayo, sambahayan ng hari!
Sapagkat kayo ang tinutukoy sa kahatulan.
Kayo'y naging bitag sa Mizpa,
at lambat na nakalatag sa Bundok Tabor.
2 Kayo'y naghimagsik at nagpakagumon sa kasalanan,
kaya't paparusahan ko kayong lahat.
3 Kilala ko si Efraim;
walang lihim sa akin ang Israel;
sapagkat ikaw ngayon Efraim ay naging babaing masama,
at ang Israel naman ay naging marumi.”
Babala Laban sa Pagsamba sa mga Diyus-diyosan
4 Dahil sa kanilang mga ginawa,
hindi na sila makapanumbalik sa Diyos.
Sapagkat nasa kanila ang espiritu ng kasamaan,
at hindi nila nakikilala si Yahweh.
5 Ang kapalaluan ng Israel ay sumasaksi laban sa kanya.
Matitisod ang Efraim sa kanyang kasalanan;
at kasama niyang matitisod ang Juda.
6 Dadalhin nila ang kanilang mga kawan ng tupa at baka
upang hanapin si Yahweh,
subalit siya'y hindi nila matatagpuan;
lumayo na siya sa kanila.
7 Naging taksil sila kay Yahweh;
kaya't nagkaanak sila sa labas.
Masisira ang kanilang mga pananim at sila'y malilipol pagdating ng bagong buwan.
Digmaan ng Juda at ng Israel
8 “Hipan ang tambuli sa Gibea!
Hipan ang trumpeta sa Rama!
Ibigay ang hudyat sa Beth-aven!
Nasa likuran mo na sila, Benjamin!
9 Mawawasak ang Efraim sa araw ng pag-uusig.
Ang ipinapahayag kong ito'y tiyak na mangyayari.
10 “Nangangamkam ng lupa ang mga pinuno ng Juda;
binago nila ang palatandaan ng pagbabahagi sa kanilang lupain.
Kaya parang bahang ibubuhos ko sa kanila ang aking poot.
11 Ang Efraim ay inaapi at tadtad sa kahatulan,
sapagkat patuloy siyang umaasa sa mga diyus-diyosan.
12 Ako'y parang kalawang sa Efraim,
at bukbok sa sambahayan ni Juda.
13 “Nang makita ni Efraim ang maselan niyang karamdaman,
at ni Juda ang kanyang mga sugat,
si Efraim ay nagpasugo sa hari ng Asiria.
Subalit hindi na siya kayang pagalingin,
hindi na mabibigyang-lunas ang kanyang mga sugat.
14 Sapagkat parang leon akong sasalakay sa Efraim,
parang isang mabangis na batang leon na gugutay sa Juda.
Lalapain ko ang Juda saka iiwan,
at walang makakapagligtas sa kanila.
15 “Pagkatapos ay babalik ako sa aking tahanan
hanggang sa harapin nila ang kanilang pananagutan,
at sa kanilang paghihirap ako ay hanapin.”
Hosea 5
King James Version
5 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.
2 And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.
4 They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.
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.
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.
7 They have dealt treacherously against the Lord: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
8 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.
9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
10 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
11 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
14 For 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 none shall rescue him.
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.
Hosea 5
New International Version
Judgment Against Israel
5 “Hear this, you priests!
Pay attention, you Israelites!
Listen, royal house!
This judgment(A) is against you:
You have been a snare(B) at Mizpah,
a net(C) spread out on Tabor.
2 The rebels are knee-deep in slaughter.(D)
I will discipline all of them.(E)
3 I know all about Ephraim;
Israel is not hidden(F) from me.
Ephraim, you have now turned to prostitution;
Israel is corrupt.(G)
4 “Their deeds do not permit them
to return(H) to their God.
A spirit of prostitution(I) is in their heart;
they do not acknowledge(J) the Lord.
5 Israel’s arrogance testifies(K) against them;
the Israelites, even Ephraim, stumble(L) in their sin;
Judah also stumbles with them.(M)
6 When they go with their flocks and herds
to seek the Lord,(N)
they will not find him;
he has withdrawn(O) himself from them.
7 They are unfaithful(P) to the Lord;
they give birth to illegitimate(Q) children.
When they celebrate their New Moon feasts,(R)
he will devour[a](S) their fields.
8 “Sound the trumpet(T) in Gibeah,(U)
the horn in Ramah.(V)
Raise the battle cry in Beth Aven[b];(W)
lead on, Benjamin.
9 Ephraim will be laid waste(X)
on the day of reckoning.(Y)
Among the tribes of Israel
I proclaim what is certain.(Z)
10 Judah’s leaders are like those
who move boundary stones.(AA)
I will pour out my wrath(AB) on them
like a flood of water.
11 Ephraim is oppressed,
trampled in judgment,
intent on pursuing idols.[c](AC)
12 I am like a moth(AD) to Ephraim,
like rot(AE) to the people of Judah.
13 “When Ephraim(AF) saw his sickness,
and Judah his sores,
then Ephraim turned to Assyria,(AG)
and sent to the great king for help.(AH)
But he is not able to cure(AI) you,
not able to heal your sores.(AJ)
14 For I will be like a lion(AK) to Ephraim,
like a great lion to Judah.
I will tear them to pieces(AL) and go away;
I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them.(AM)
15 Then I will return to my lair(AN)
until they have borne their guilt(AO)
and seek my face(AP)—
in their misery(AQ)
they will earnestly seek me.(AR)”

New King James Version
Impending Judgment on Israel and Judah
5 “Hear this, O priests!
Take heed, O house of Israel!
Give ear, O house of the king!
For [a]yours is the judgment,
Because (A)you have been a snare to Mizpah
And a net spread on Tabor.
2 The revolters are (B)deeply involved in slaughter,
Though I rebuke them all.
3 (C)I know Ephraim,
And Israel is not hidden from Me;
For now, O Ephraim, (D)you commit harlotry;
Israel is defiled.
4 “They[b] do not direct their deeds
Toward turning to their God,
For (E)the spirit of harlotry is in their midst,
And they do not know the Lord.
5 The (F)pride of Israel testifies to his face;
Therefore Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity;
Judah also stumbles with them.
6 “With their flocks and herds
(G)They shall go to seek the Lord,
But they will not find Him;
He has withdrawn Himself from them.
7 They have (H)dealt treacherously with the Lord,
For they have begotten [c]pagan children.
Now a New Moon shall devour them and their heritage.
8 “Blow(I) the ram’s horn in Gibeah,
The trumpet in Ramah!
(J)Cry aloud at (K)Beth Aven,
‘Look behind you, O Benjamin!’
9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke;
Among the tribes of Israel I make known what is sure.
10 “The princes of Judah are like those who (L)remove a landmark;
I will pour out My wrath on them like water.
11 Ephraim is (M)oppressed and broken in judgment,
Because he willingly walked by (N)human precept.
12 Therefore I will be to Ephraim like a moth,
And to the house of Judah (O)like rottenness.
13 “When Ephraim saw his sickness,
And Judah saw his (P)wound,
Then Ephraim went (Q)to Assyria
And sent to King Jareb;
Yet he cannot cure you,
Nor heal you of your wound.
14 For (R)I will be like a lion to Ephraim,
And like a young lion to the house of Judah.
(S)I, even I, will tear them and go away;
I will take them away, and no one shall rescue.
15 I will return again to My place
Till they [d]acknowledge their offense.
Then they will seek My face;
In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”

La Bible du Semeur
La faute des responsables
5 Ecoutez ceci, prêtres,
et soyez attentifs, ╵gens d’Israël !
Ecoutez, vous aussi, ╵gens de la cour du roi !
Car il vous incombait ╵de rendre la justice[a],
mais vous avez été ╵à Mitspa comme un piège,
sur le Thabor ╵comme un filet tendu[b].
2 A Shittim, vous avez creusé ╵une fosse profonde[c],
mais je vais préparer ╵une correction pour eux tous.
Le châtiment est inéluctable
3 Je te connais bien, Ephraïm,
Israël ne m’est pas caché.
Or, Ephraïm,
tu t’es prostitué,
et Israël en est souillé.
4 Leurs actes les empêchent ╵de revenir à moi, leur Dieu,
car un vent de prostitution ╵souffle chez eux,
et ils ne connaissent pas l’Eternel.
5 Mais l’orgueil d’Israël ╵témoigne contre lui,
or, Israël et Ephraïm ╵tomberont par leur faute,
même Juda ╵va tomber avec eux.
6 Avec leurs moutons et leurs bœufs, ╵ils viennent chercher l’Eternel,
mais ils ne le trouveront pas :
il est parti loin d’eux.
7 Car ils ont trahi l’Eternel,
ils ont enfanté des bâtards[d].
Le jour de la nouvelle lune ╵va maintenant les consumer, ╵eux et leur patrimoine.
Le châtiment : la guerre fratricide
8 Sonnez du cor à Guibéa,
et de la trompette à Rama !
Donnez l’alarme à Beth-Aven[e] !
Benjamin, gare à tes arrières[f] !
9 Ephraïm sera dévasté ╵au jour du châtiment.
J’en fais l’annonce ╵aux tribus d’Israël, ╵et cela est certain.
10 Les princes de Juda ╵sont devenus pareils
à ceux qui déplacent les bornes[g].
Aussi, comme un torrent,
je répandrai sur eux ╵les flots de ma colère.
11 Ephraïm sera écrasé
et brisé par le jugement,
car il veut se conduire ╵d’après ses propres règles[h].
12 C’est pourquoi je serai, ╵pour Ephraïm, comme la teigne,
et pour Juda ╵comme la vermoulure.
13 Quand Ephraïm a vu son mal
et Juda son ulcère,
Ephraïm est allé ╵chercher de l’aide en Assyrie
et il a envoyé ╵un message au roi batailleur[i].
Mais le roi assyrien ╵ne pourra vous guérir
ni soigner votre ulcère.
14 Car moi, je serai comme un lion
pour les Ephraïmites
et comme un jeune lion ╵pour les gens de Juda.
Moi, oui, moi, je déchirerai ╵et puis je m’en irai,
j’emporterai ma proie ╵et nul ne les délivrera.
15 Alors je m’en irai, ╵je rentrerai chez moi
jusqu’à ce qu’ils se reconnaissent ╵coupables
et cherchent ma faveur.
Alors, dans leur détresse, ╵ils vont avoir recours à moi.
