Hosea 5 הוֹשֵׁעַ

Hebrew · transliteration · JPS 1917

¹שִׁמְעוּ־זֹ֨את הַכֹּהֲנִ֜ים וְהַקְשִׁ֣יבוּ ׀ בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל וּבֵ֤ית הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ הַאֲזִ֔ינוּ כִּ֥י לָכֶ֖ם הַמִּשְׁפָּ֑ט כִּֽי־פַח֙ הֱיִיתֶ֣ם לְמִצְפָּ֔ה וְרֶ֖שֶׁת פְּרוּשָׂ֥ה עַל־תָּבֽוֹר׃

shim'u-zot hakkohanim vehakshivu bet yisra'el uvet hammelekh ha'azinu ki lakhem hammishpat ki-fach heyitem lemitzpa vereshet perusa al-tavor

Hear 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.

²וְשַׁחֲטָ֥ה שֵׂטִ֖ים הֶעְמִ֑יקוּ וַאֲנִ֖י מוּסָ֥ר לְכֻלָּֽם׃

veshachata setim he'miku va'ani musar lekhullam

And they that fall away are gone deep in making slaughter; And I am rejected of them all.

³אֲנִי֙ יָדַ֣עְתִּי אֶפְרַ֔יִם וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֹֽא־נִכְחַ֣ד מִמֶּ֑נִּי כִּ֤י עַתָּה֙ הִזְנֵ֣יתָ אֶפְרַ֔יִם נִטְמָ֖א יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

ani yada'ti efrayim veyisra'el lo-nikhchad mimmenni ki atta hizneta efrayim nitma yisra'el

I, even I, know Ephraim, And Israel is not hid from Me; For now, O Ephraim, thou hast committed harlotry, Israel is defiled.

⁴לֹ֤א יִתְּנוּ֙ מַ֣עַלְלֵיהֶ֔ם לָשׁ֖וּב אֶל־אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶ֑ם כִּ֣י ר֤וּחַ זְנוּנִים֙ בְּקִרְבָּ֔ם וְאֶת־יְהוָ֖ה לֹ֥א יָדָֽעוּ׃

lo yittenu ma'allehem lashuv el-elohehem ki ruach zenunim bekirbam ve'et-ADONAI lo yada'u

Their doings will not suffer them To return unto their God; For the spirit of harlotry is within them, And they know not the LORD.

⁵וְעָנָ֥ה גְאֽוֹן־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּפָנָ֑יו וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל וְאֶפְרַ֗יִם יִכָּֽשְׁלוּ֙ בַּעֲוֺנָ֔ם כָּשַׁ֥ל גַּם־יְהוּדָ֖ה עִמָּֽם׃

ve'ana geon-yisra'el befanav veyisra'el ve'efrayim yikkashlu ba'avonam kashal gam-yehuda immam

But the pride of Israel shall testify to his face; And Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity, Judah also shall stumble with them.

⁶בְּצֹאנָ֣ם וּבִבְקָרָ֗ם יֵֽלְכ֛וּ לְבַקֵּ֥שׁ אֶת־יְהוָ֖ה וְלֹ֣א יִמְצָ֑אוּ חָלַ֖ץ מֵהֶֽם׃

betzonam uvivkaram yelkhu levakkesh et-ADONAI velo yimtzau chalatz mehem

With their flocks and with their herds they shall go To seek the LORD, but they shall not find Him; He hath withdrawn Himself from them.

⁷בַּיהוָ֣ה בָּגָ֔דוּ כִּֽי־בָנִ֥ים זָרִ֖ים יָלָ֑דוּ עַתָּ֛ה יֹאכְלֵ֥ם חֹ֖דֶשׁ אֶת־חֶלְקֵיהֶֽם׃

baADONAI bagadu ki-vanim zarim yaladu atta yokhlem chodesh et-chelkehem

They have dealt treacherously against the LORD, For they have begotten strange children; Now shall the new moon devour them with their portions.

⁸תִּקְע֤וּ שׁוֹפָר֙ בַּגִּבְעָ֔ה חֲצֹצְרָ֖ה בָּרָמָ֑ה הָרִ֨יעוּ֙ בֵּ֣ית אָ֔וֶן אַחֲרֶ֖יךָ בִּנְיָמִֽין׃

tik'u shofar baggiv'a chatzotzra barama hari'u bet aven acharekha binyamin

Blow ye the horn in Gibeah, And the trumpet in Ramah; Sound an alarm at Beth-aven: ‘Behind thee, O Benjamin! ’

⁹אֶפְרַ֨יִם֙ לְשַׁמָּ֣ה תִֽהְיֶ֔ה בְּי֖וֹם תּֽוֹכֵחָ֑ה בְּשִׁבְטֵי֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל הוֹדַ֖עְתִּי נֶאֱמָנָֽה׃

efrayim leshamma tihye beyom tokhecha beshivte yisra'el hoda'ti ne'emana

Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel do I make known that which shall surely be. .

¹⁰הָיוּ֙ שָׂרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה כְּמַסִּיגֵ֖י גְּב֑וּל עֲלֵיהֶ֕ם אֶשְׁפּ֥וֹךְ כַּמַּ֖יִם עֶבְרָתִֽי׃

hayu sare yehuda kemassige gevul alehem eshpokh kammayim evrati

The princes of Judah are like them that remove the landmark; I will pour out My wrath upon them like water.

¹¹עָשׁ֥וּק אֶפְרַ֖יִם רְצ֣וּץ מִשְׁפָּ֑ט כִּ֣י הוֹאִ֔יל הָלַ֖ךְ אַחֲרֵי־צָֽו׃

ashuk efrayim retzutz mishpat ki ho'il halakh achare-tzav

Oppressed is Ephraim, crushed in his right; Because he willingly walked after filth.

¹²וַאֲנִ֥י כָעָ֖שׁ לְאֶפְרָ֑יִם וְכָרָקָ֖ב לְבֵ֥ית יְהוּדָֽה׃

va'ani kha'ash le'efrayim vekharakav levet yehuda

Therefore am I unto Ephraim as a moth, And to the house of Judah as rottenness.

¹³וַיַּ֨רְא אֶפְרַ֜יִם אֶת־חָלְי֗וֹ וִֽיהוּדָה֙ אֶת־מְזֹר֔וֹ וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ אֶפְרַ֨יִם֙ אֶל־אַשּׁ֔וּר וַיִּשְׁלַ֖ח אֶל־מֶ֣לֶךְ יָרֵ֑ב וְה֗וּא לֹ֤א יוּכַל֙ לִרְפֹּ֣א לָכֶ֔ם וְלֹֽא־יִגְהֶ֥ה מִכֶּ֖ם מָזֽוֹר׃

vayyar efrayim et-chalyo vihuda et-mezoro vayyelekh efrayim el-ashur vayyishlach el-melekh yarev vehu lo yukhal lirpo lakhem velo-yighe mikkem mazor

And 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.

¹⁴כִּ֣י אָנֹכִ֤י כַשַּׁ֨חַל֙ לְאֶפְרַ֔יִם וְכַכְּפִ֖יר לְבֵ֣ית יְהוּדָ֑ה אֲנִ֨י אֲנִ֤י אֶטְרֹף֙ וְאֵלֵ֔ךְ אֶשָּׂ֖א וְאֵ֥ין מַצִּֽיל׃

ki anokhi khashachal le'efrayim vekhakkefir levet yehuda ani ani etrof ve'elekh essa ve'en matzil

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 there shall be none to deliver.

¹⁵אֵלֵ֤ךְ אָשׁ֨וּבָה֙ אֶל־מְקוֹמִ֔י עַ֥ד אֲשֶֽׁר־יֶאְשְׁמ֖וּ וּבִקְשׁ֣וּ פָנָ֑י בַּצַּ֥ר לָהֶ֖ם יְשַׁחֲרֻֽנְנִי׃

elekh ashuva el-mekomi ad asher-ye'shemu uvikshu fanay batzar lahem yeshacharunni

I will go and return to My place, Till they acknowledge their guilt, and seek My face; In their trouble they will seek Me earnestly:

World Messianic Bible (English numbering)

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 the LORD.

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 the LORD, but they won’t find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.

⁷They are unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.

⁸“Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the shofar 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.”
