Oseas 5

1Dinggin ninyo ito, Oh ninyong mga saserdote, at inyong pakinggan ninyong sangbahayan ni Israel, at inyong ulinigin, Oh sangbahayan ng hari, sapagka't sa inyo'y nauukol ang kahatulan; sapagka't kayo'y naging isang silo sa Mizpa, at isang panghuli na nalagay sa Tabor. 2At ang mga nagsipanghimagsik ay nangagpakapahamak na mainam; nguni't ako'y mananaway sa kanilang lahat. 3Aking kilala ang Ephraim, at ang Israel na hindi lingid sa akin; sapagka't ngayon, Oh Ephraim, ikaw ay nagpatutot, ang Israel ay napahamak. 4Hindi sila titiisin ng kanilang mga gawain na manumbalik sa kanilang Dios; sapagka't ang pagpapatutot ay nasa loob nila, at hindi nila nakikilala ang Panginoon. 5At ang kapalaluan ng Israel ay nagpapatotoo sa kaniyang mukha: kaya't ang Israel at ang Ephraim ay mangatitisod sa kanilang kasamaan; ang Juda'y matitisod ding kasama nila. 6Sila'y magsisiyaong kasama ng kanilang kawan at ng kanilang bakahan upang hanapin ang Panginoon; nguni't hindi nila masusumpungan siya: Siya'y umurong sa kanila. 7Sila'y nagsigawa ng paglililo laban sa Panginoon; sapagka't sila'y naganak ng ibang mga anak: lalamunin nga sila ng bagong buwan sangpu ng kanilang mga parang. 8Hipan ninyo ang korneta sa Gabaa, at ang pakakak sa Rama: kayo'y magsitugtog ng hudyat sa Beth-aven; sa likuran mo, Oh Benjamin. 9Ang Ephraim ay magiging kasiraan sa kaarawan ng pagsaway: sa gitna ng mga lipi ng Israel ay aking ipinakilala ang tunay na mangyayari. 10Ang mga prinsipe sa Juda ay gaya ng nagsisibago ng lindero: aking ibubuhos ang aking galit sa kanila na parang tubig. 11Ang Ephraim ay napighati, siya'y nadikdik sa kahatulan; sapagka't siya'y nasisiyahang lumakad ng ayon sa utos ng tao. 12Kaya't ako'y sa Ephraim na parang tanga, at sa sangbahayan ni Juda na parang kabulukan. 13Nang makita ng Ephraim ang kaniyang sakit, at nang makita ni Juda ang kaniyang sugat, naparoon nga ang Ephraim sa Asiria, at nagsugo sa haring Jareb: nguni't hindi niya mapagagaling kayo, ni kaniyang mapagagaling man kayo sa inyong sugat. 14Sapagka't ako'y magiging parang leon sa Ephraim, at parang isang batang leon sa sangbahayan ni Juda, Ako, sa makatuwid baga'y ako, ay aagaw at aalis; ako'y magaalis, at walang magliligtas. 15Ako'y yayaon at babalik sa aking dako, hanggang sa kanilang kilalanin ang pagkakasala, at hanapin ang aking mukha: sa kanilang pagdadalamhati ay hahanapin nila akong mainam.

1“Listen to this, you priests! Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king! For the judgment is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor. 2The rebels are deep in slaughter; but I discipline all of them. 3I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute. Israel is defiled. 4Their deeds won’t allow them to turn to their God; for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they don’t know Yahweh. 5The pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity. Judah also will stumble with them. 6They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Yahweh; but they won’t find him. He has withdrawn himself from them. 7They are unfaithful to Yahweh; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields. 8“Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah! Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin! 9Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be. 10The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water. 11Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; Because he is intent in his pursuit of idols. 12Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness. 13“When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound. 14For I will be to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver. 15I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”

1Hoort dit, gij priesters! en merkt op, gij huis Israels! en neemt ter oren, gij huis des konings! want ulieden gaat dit oordeel aan, omdat gij een strik zijt geworden te Mizpa, en een uitgespannen net op Thabor. 2En die afwijken, verdiepen zich om te slachten; maar Ik zal hun allen een tuchtmeester zijn. 3Ik ken Efraim, en Israel is voor Mij niet verborgen; dat gij, o Efraim! nu hoereert, en Israel verontreinigd is. 4Zij stellen hun handelingen niet aan, om zich tot hun God te bekeren; want de geest der hoererijen is in het midden van hen, en den HEERE kennen zij niet. 5Dies zal Israel hovaardij in zijn aangezicht getuigen; en Israel en Efraim zullen vallen door hun ongerechtigheid; ook zal Juda met hen vallen. 6Met hun schapen, en met hun runderen zullen zij dan gaan, om den HEERE te zoeken, maar niet vinden; Hij heeft Zich van hen onttrokken. 7Zij hebben trouwelooslijk gehandeld tegen den HEERE; want zij hebben vreemde kinderen gewonnen; nu zal hen de nieuwe maand verteren met hun delen. 8Blaast de bazuin te Gibea, de trompet te Rama; roept luide te Beth-Aven; achter u, Benjamin! 9Efraim zal tot verwoesting worden, ten dage der straf; onder de stammen Israels heb Ik bekend gemaakt, dat gewis is. 10De vorsten van Juda zijn geworden, gelijk die de landpalen verrukken; Ik zal Mijn verbolgenheid, als water, over hen uitgieten. 11Efraim is verdrukt, hij is verpletterd met recht; want hij heeft zo gewild; hij heeft gewandeld naar het gebod. 12Daarom zal Ik Efraim zijn als een mot, en den huize van Juda als een verrotting. 13Als Efraim zijn krankheid zag, en Juda zijn gezwel, zo toog Efraim tot Assur, en hij zond tot den koning Jareb; maar die zal ulieden niet kunnen genezen, en zal het gezwel van ulieden niet helen. 14Want Ik zal Efraim zijn als een felle leeuw, en den huize van Juda als een jonge leeuw; Ik, Ik zal verscheuren en henengaan; Ik zal wegvoeren, en er zal geen redder zijn. 15Ik zal henengaan en keren weder tot Mijn plaats, totdat zij zichzelven schuldig kennen en Mijn aangezicht zoeken; als hun bange zal zijn, zullen zij Mij vroeg zoeken.
