Hosea 5

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 Hear this, priests, and pay attention, house of Israel, and listen closely, house of the king. For there is a judgment against you, because you have become a trap for those you watched over, and a net stretched out over Tabor.	1 Audite hoc, sacerdotes, et attendite, domus Israel; et domus regis, auscultate, quia vobis iudicium est; quoniam laqueus facti estis pro Maspha et rete expansum super Thabor.
2 And you have led astray victims into the depths, though I am the teacher of them all.	2 Et foveam Settim profundam fecerunt; ego autem castigabo vos omnes.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel has not been hidden from me, yet now Ephraim has committed fornication, and Israel has been contaminated.	3 Ego scio Ephraim, et Israel non est absconditus a me; quia nunc fornicatus es, Ephraim, contaminatus est Israel.
4 They will not set their thoughts to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.	4 Non dabunt opera sua, ut revertantur ad Deum suum, quia spiritus fornicationis in medio eorum, et Dominum non cognoverunt.
5 And the arrogance of Israel will answer to his face. And Israel and Ephraim will fall in their iniquity, and even Judah will fall with them.	5 Et testatur arrogantia Israel in faciem suam, et Israel et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua: ruet etiam Iudas cum eis.
6 With their flocks and their herds, they will go to seek the Lord, and they will not find him. He has taken himself away from them.	6 In gregibus suis et in armentis suis vadent ad quaerendum Dominum et non invenient; subtraxit se ab eis.
7 They have sinned against the Lord. For they have conceived sons that are strangers. Now one month will devour them with all their own.	7 In Dominum praevaricati sunt, quia filios alienos genuerunt; nunc devorabit eos uno mense cum partibus suis.
8 Sound the bugle in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah. Shout in Bethaven, behind your back, O Benjamin.	8 Clangite bucina in Gabaa, tuba in Rama, conclamate in Bethaven, exterrete Beniamin.
9 Ephraim will be in desolation on the day of correction, for within the tribes of Israel, I have revealed faith.	9 Ephraim vastabitur in die correptionis; in tribubus Israel annuntio rem certam.
10 The leaders of Judah have become like those who assume the end. I will pour my wrath over them like water.	10 Facti sunt principes Iudae quasi transferentes terminos; super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam.
11 Ephraim has been enduring malicious slander and broken judgment, because he began to go after filth.	11 Oppressus est Ephraim, fractum est ius, quoniam voluit abire post sordem.
12 And I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.	12 Et ego quasi sanies Ephraim, et quasi putredo domui Iudae.
13 And Ephraim saw his own weakness, and Judah his chains. And Ephraim went to Assur, and he sent to the Avenging king. But he will not be able to heal you, nor is he able to release you from your chains.	13 Et vidit Ephraim languorem suum, et Iuda ulcus suum; et abiit Ephraim ad Assyriam et misit ad regem magnum; sed et ipse non poterit sanare vos nec solvere poterit vos ab ulcere.
14 For I will be like a lioness to Ephraim, and like a lion’s offspring to the house of Judah. I myself will seize and go forth. I will take away, and there is no one who can rescue.	14 Quoniam ego quasi leaena Ephraim et quasi catulus leonis domui Iudae; ego, ego capiam et vadam, tollam, et non est qui eruat.
15 I will go and return to my place, until you shall grow faint and seek my face.	15 Vadens revertar ad locum meum, donec poenas solvant et quaerant faciem meam, in tribulatione sua me desiderent.
