Encouraging repentance from sin

5:1 Encouraging repentance from sin

5Hear this message of mourning over you that I take up, people of Israel:

2The virgin Israel has fallen—she won’t rise again.

She’s abandoned on her land—there’s no one to help her up,

3because this is what the Lord Yahweh says:

“The city that went out with a thousand warriors will have a hundred left,

and the one that went out with a hundred will have ten left belonging to the nation of Israel.”

4This is what Yahweh says to the people of Israel:

“Seek me and live!

5Don’t seek Beyt-El (which means ‘God’s house’)

or enter Gilgal;

Don’t journey down to Beer-Sheva.

Because Gilgal will surely go into captivity,

and Beyt-El will become nothing.

6Seek Yahweh and live,

or he will break out like fire among Yosef’s descendants.

It will devour, and there’ll be no one to quench it in Beyt-El.

7Those people turn justice into a bitter thing

and throw righteousness down to the ground.”

8God made the Pleiades and Orion constellations.

He turns darkness into the morning

and he makes the day dark with night

He calls for the waters of the sea

and pours them out on the surface of the earth.

Yahweh is his name.

9He causes devastation to land on the strong,

and destruction comes down on the fortresses.

10They hate anyone who corrects them at the community centre,

and they despise anyone who speaks the truth.

11Therefore, because you trample down the poor

and take a percentage of all their grain

although you have built houses from nice stone blocks, you won’t get to live in them.

You have delightful vineyards, but you won’t drink their wine.

12For I know how many your offenses are

and how great your sins are—

you who make honest people suffer, take bribes,

and turn aside the needy at the community centre.

13Therefore any sensible person should be silent at such a time,

because it’s an evil time.

14Strive to do good and not evil, so that you may live.

So Yahweh, the God with armies, will really be with you,

just like you’ve all been saying.

15Hate evil, love good, and establish justice at the community centre.

Perhaps Yahweh, the God with armies, will be gracious to the remnant of Yosef’s descendants.

16Therefore, this is what Yahweh says, the God with armies, my master,

“Wailing will be in all the squares,

and in all the streets they’ll complain, ‘Oh no. Oh no.

They’ll call the farmers to mourning

and the mourners to wail. 17There’ll be wailing in all the vineyards because I’ll pass through among you,”

Yahweh says.

5hear DOM the_word the_this which I am_lifting_up over_you_all a_lamentation Oh_house_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel).
2She_has_fallen not she_will_repeat to_rise the_virgin_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) she_has_been_abandoned on land_of_her there_is_not raise_up_of_her.
3If/because thus my_master he_says YHWH the_city the_marches_out a_thousand it_will_have_left a_hundred and_the_marches_out a_hundred it_will_have_left ten to_house_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel).
4if/because thus YHWH he_says to_house_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) seek_me and_live.
5And_not seek Bēyt- el and_the_Gilgāl not you_all_must_go and_Bəʼēr- seven not you_all_must_pass_over if/because the_Gilgāl certainly_(go_into_exile) it_will_go_into_exile and_Bēyt- el it_will_become to_nothing.
6Seek DOM YHWH and_live lest he_should_rush like_a_fire the_house_of Yōşēf/(Joseph) and_devour and_none one_who_extinguishes for_Bēyt- el.
7The_turn into_wormwood justice and_righteousness to_the_ground they_thrust_down.
8The_one_who_made_of (of)_Pleiades and_orion and_turns into_the_morning deep_darkness and_day night he_makes_dark the_calls for_waters_of the_sea and_pours_out_them on the_surface_of the_earth/land is_YHWH his/its_name.
9the_flash_out devastation on the_strong and_destruction on a_fortress it_will_come.
10They_hate in/on/at/with_gate one_who_reproves and_speaks blameless they_abhor.
11For_so/thus/hence because trample_you_all on the_poor and_tax_of grain you_all_take from_him/it houses_of hewn_stone you_all_have_built and_not you_all_will_dwell in/on/at/with_them vineyards_of desire you_all_have_planted and_not you_all_will_drink DOM wine_of_their.
12If/because I_know many transgressions_of_your_all’s and_great sins_of_your_all’s Oh_foes_of the_righteous Oh_you_all_who_take_of (of)_a_ransom and_poor in/on/at/with_gate they_turn_aside.
13For_so/thus/hence the_prudent in/on/at/with_time the_such he_will_be_silent if/because is_a_time evil it.
14Seek good and_not evil so_that you_all_may_live and_let_it_be right YHWH god_of hosts with_you_all just_as you_all_have_said.
15Hate evil and_love good and_establish in/on/at/with_gate justice perhaps he_will_show_favour_to YHWH god_of hosts the_remnant_of Yōşēf/(Joseph).
16for_so/thus/hence thus YHWH he_says god_of hosts my_master in_all the_open_places wailing and_on/over_all the_streets people_will_say alas alas and_call a_farmer to mourning and_lamentation to those_who_know_of (of)_mourning_song[s].
17And_on/over_all the_vineyards wailing if/because I_will_pass in/on/at/with_midst_of_you YHWH he_says.
