Hosea 5 – NIV & NAV

New International Version

Hosea 5:1-15

Judgment Against Israel

1“Hear this, you priests!

Pay attention, you Israelites!

Listen, royal house!

This judgment is against you:

You have been a snare at Mizpah,

a net spread out on Tabor.

2The rebels are knee-deep in slaughter.

I will discipline all of them.

3I know all about Ephraim;

Israel is not hidden from me.

Ephraim, you have now turned to prostitution;

Israel is corrupt.

4“Their deeds do not permit them

to return to their God.

A spirit of prostitution is in their heart;

they do not acknowledge the Lord.

5Israel’s arrogance testifies against them;

the Israelites, even Ephraim, stumble in their sin;

Judah also stumbles with them.

6When they go with their flocks and herds

to seek the Lord,

they will not find him;

he has withdrawn himself from them.

7They are unfaithful to the Lord;

they give birth to illegitimate children.

When they celebrate their New Moon feasts,

he will devour5:7 Or Now their New Moon feasts / will devour them and their fields.

8“Sound the trumpet in Gibeah,

the horn in Ramah.

Raise the battle cry in Beth Aven5:8 Beth Aven means house of wickedness (a derogatory name for Bethel, which means house of God).;

lead on, Benjamin.

9Ephraim will be laid waste

on the day of reckoning.

Among the tribes of Israel

I proclaim what is certain.

10Judah’s leaders are like those

who move boundary stones.

I will pour out my wrath on them

like a flood of water.

11Ephraim is oppressed,

trampled in judgment,

intent on pursuing idols.5:11 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain.

12I am like a moth to Ephraim,

like rot to the people of Judah.

13“When Ephraim saw his sickness,

and Judah his sores,

then Ephraim turned to Assyria,

and sent to the great king for help.

But he is not able to cure you,

not able to heal your sores.

14For I will be like a lion to Ephraim,

like a great lion to Judah.

I will tear them to pieces and go away;

I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them.

15Then I will return to my lair

until they have borne their guilt

and seek my face—

in their misery

they will earnestly seek me.”

دينونة الله على إسرائيل

1اسْمَعُوا هَذَا أَيُّهَا الْكَهَنَةُ وَأَنْصِتُوا يَا شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَصْغُوا يَا أَهْلَ بَيْتِ الْمَلِكِ، لأَنَّ الْقَضَاءَ حَالٌّ بِكُمْ إِذْ كُنْتُمْ فَخّاً فِي الْمِصْفَاةِ وَشَبَكَةً مَنْصُوبَةً عَلَى جَبَلِ تَابُورَ. 2لَقَدْ حَفَرْتُمْ حُفْرَةً عَمِيقَةً فِي شِطِّيمَ، لَكِنِّي أَقُومُ بِتَأْدِيبِهِمْ جَمِيعاً. 3إِنِّي أَعْرِفُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلا يَخْفَى عَنِّي مِنْهُ خَافِيَةٌ، فَأَنْتَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ قَدْ زَنَيْتَ الآنَ وَتَنَجَّسْتَ. 4إِنَّ أَعْمَالَ شَرِّهِمْ تَحُولُ دُونَ رُجُوعِهِمْ إِلَى إِلَهِهِمْ، لأَنَّ رُوحَ الزِّنَى (أَيْ خِيَانَةِ الرَّبِّ) كَامِنَةٌ فِيهِمْ، وَهُمْ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ الرَّبَّ. 5هَا صَلَفُ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِ فِي وَجْهِهِ، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ وَأَفْرَايِمُ يَكْبُوَانِ بِإِثْمِهِمَا، وَيَتَعَثَّرُ مَعَهُمَا يَهُوذَا أَيْضاً. 6وَحِينَ يَنْطَلِقُونَ بِمَوَاشِيهِمْ لِيَلْتَمِسُوا الرَّبَّ لَا يَجِدُونَهُ، إِذْ قَدِ انْصَرَفَ عَنْهُمْ. 7لَقَدْ خَانُوا الرَّبَّ لأَنَّهُمْ أَنْجَبُوا أَبْنَاءَ غُرَبَاءَ عَنْهُ، لِذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ مَوَاسِمَ أَوَائِلِ الشَّهْرِ الْجَدِيدِ تَلْتَهِمُهُمْ مَعَ حُقُولِهِمْ.

8انْفُخُوا فِي أَبْوَاقِ الْحَرْبِ فِي جِبْعَةَ وَفِي الرَّامَةِ، وَأَطْلِقُوا صَيْحَةَ الْقِتَالِ فِي بَيْتِ آوَنَ: تَقَدَّمْ يَا بَنْيَامِينُ. 9أَرْضُ أَفْرَايِمَ سَتُصْبِحُ خَرَاباً فِي يَوْمِ الْقَضَاءِ، وَبَيْنَ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَظْهَرْتُ مَا هُوَ يَقِينٌ. 10قَدْ صَارَ رُؤَسَاءُ يَهُوذَا مُتَعَدِّينَ كَالَّذِينَ يَنْقُلُونَ تُخُومَ الأَرْضِ لَيَسْلُبُوا سِوَاهُمْ. لِهَذَا سَأَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ سَخَطِي كَالْمَاءِ. 11لَقَدْ لَحِقَ الضِّيقُ بِإِسْرَائِيلَ، وَسَحَقَهُ الْقَضَاءُ لأَنَّهُ وَطَّدَ الْعَزْمَ عَلَى الْغَوَايَةِ وَرَاءَ الأَوْثَانِ. 12لِهَذَا أَكُونُ كَالْعُثِّ لإِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكالسُّوسِ النَّاخِرِ لِشَعْبِ يَهُوذَا.

13عِنْدَمَا تَبَيَّنَ إِسْرَائِيلُ دَاءَهُ، وَيَهُوذَا جِرَاحَهُ، لَجَأَ إِسْرَائِيلُ إِلَى أَشُّورَ يَلْتَمِسُ مَعُونَةَ الْمَلِكِ الْعَظِيمِ، إِلّا أَنَّهُ أَخْفَقَ فِي عِلاجِهِ أَوْ فِي مُدَاوَاةِ جِرَاحِهِ. 14فَإِنِّي سَأَكُونُ كَالأَسَدِ الْمُفْتَرِسِ لإِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكَالشِّبْلِ لأَبْنَاءِ يَهُوذَا. أَفْتَرِسُ وَأَمْضِي. أَخْطَفُ وَلَيْسَ مِنْ يُنْقِذُ.

15ثُمَّ أَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِي إِلَى أَنْ يَعْتَرِفُوا بِإِثْمِهِمْ وَيَطْلُبُوا وَجْهِي، وَفِي ضِيقِهِمْ يَلْتَمِسُونَنِي (قَائِلِينَ):
