SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–7: The LORD will judge the people of Israel and Judah

In 5:1–4, the LORD condemned the people of Israel and Judah, including the priests and leaders, for their corruption, immorality, and idolatry. In 5:5–7, he warned them that he would leave them and allow them to be destroyed.

Here are some other examples of section headings:

Israel and Judah will be judged (CEV)

Punishment Coming for Israel and Judah (ESV)

Paragraph 5:1–4

In this paragraph, the LORD made an accusation against the people of Israel. He made it clear that he knew everything they did. Nothing was hidden from him. He concluded by declaring that his people no longer knew him.

Since this paragraph occurs at the beginning of a new section, it may be helpful in some languages to make explicit that the LORD is the one who was speaking. For example, the CEV begins this paragraph with:

The Lord said (CEV)

Here is another way to introduce the paragraph:

The LORD continued to speak. He said

5:1a

“Hear this, O priests! Take heed, O house of Israel! Give ear, O royal house!

¶ Yahweh said, “Priests, hear this! Israelites, listen carefully! Members of the king’s family, hear these words!
¶ “Israelites, especially you^(plur) priests, and family of the king: Listen carefully to my words!

Hear this, O priests! Take heed, O house of Israel! Give ear, O royal house!: The clauses Hear this, Take heed, and Give ear are three ways of saying the same thing. This repetition called attention to what the LORD was about to say.

Here the LORD addressed three groups in Israel:

the priests
the people of the nation of Israel
the royal family

In some languages, it may be more natural to change the order of the phrases in these three lines. For example:

Name the group of people before the verb:
“Priests, hear this! Israelites, pay attention! Royal house/family, listen!”
List all of the groups together:
Priests, people of Israel, and royal house of Israel, pay attention to my words.
Reorder the groups. For example, here is a list in a different order:
Listen, Royal house! Hear this, Priests! Pay attention, Israelites!

Use the order and forms of address that are most natural in your language for groups like these.

Hear this: This phrase refers to the words of the LORD that follow.

Here is another way to translate this phrase:

Hear these words that I am about to say.

priests: These are the same priests as in 4:4b. See the notes at 4:4b.

house of Israel: This phrase refers to the entire nation of the northern kingdom of Israel.

royal house: In Hebrew, this phrase is literally “house of the king.” It refers here to the king and his family.

O: There is no Hebrew word here for the word O. In the past, O was used as a formal way to address someone in English, so the BSB and some other versions have added it here. Use a term of address that is appropriate in your language for this context.

5:1b

For this judgment is against you

Because this is a judgment against you!^(plur)
I am going to punish you.

this judgment is against you: In Hebrew, this clause is literally “the judgment belongs to you.” It can be interpreted in two ways:

It means that the LORD will judge the nation of Israel. For example:
because you will all be judged (NCV) (BSB, ESV, GW, KJV, NAB, NASB, NCV, NET, NLT, NIV, NRSV, REB)
It means that Israel is responsible to act justly. For example:
Justice was your duty (CEV) (CEV, GNT, NJB, NJPS).

In some versions, both interpretations (1) and (2) are made explicit. For example:

You are supposed to judge with justice—so judgment will fall on you! (GNT)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1) along with most versions.

5:1c

because you have been a snare at Mizpah, a net spread out on Tabor.

You^(plur) have been like a bird trap at Mizpah. Yes, you have been like a net on Mount Tabor that is spread out for its prey.
For you have snared people like people snare birds at Mizpah and Tabor.
Because you have led the people away from me and into idolatry.

Notice the parallel parts that are similar in meaning:

because you have been a snare at Mizpah,

a net spread out on Tabor.

There is an ellipsis in the second line. In some languages, it may be necessary to supply the missing words from the first line. For example:

You have been a net spread out on Tabor.

Each line is a metaphor. Both metaphors compare the leaders and influential people of Israel to traps used for catching birds. The birds represent the people. The meaning is that the leaders have led the people to worship false gods.

you have been a snare…a net spread out: The words that the BSB translates as snare and net refer to two kinds of bird traps. The difference of meaning between the two words is not important here. Both represent people who enticed others away from the LORD and into false worship.

If it is confusing or unnatural in your language to use metaphors like this, here are some other options:

Change the metaphors into similes. For example:
You have been like a trap at Mizpah and like a net spread out at Mount Tabor. (NCV)
Translate the meaning directly without using a figure of speech. For example:
For you have led the people to worship idols.
Use a different idiom or figure of speech that conveys the right meaning in your language.

at Mizpah…on Tabor: Mizpah and Tabor are two locations in Israel where people worshiped idols. Here they are probably used as a figure of speech (synecdoche) that represents all the places in Israel where the people worshiped false gods.

Tabor is a site on a mountain. For that reason some versions make that explicit. For example:

like a net spread out at Mount Tabor. (NCV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל

house_of Yisrael

Here, house means all the people descended from a particular person. It envisions them as if they were one household living together. So the house of Israel figuratively means all the people descended from the patriarch Jacob, who was also known as Israel. Alternate translation: [you people of Israel]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הַאֲזִ֔ינוּ

listen

The speaker is using the phrase give ear to mean “listen to me.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly as in the UST.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠בֵ֤ית הַ⁠מֶּ֨לֶךְ֙

and,O_house_of the=king

Here, house of the king means all the people who were considered a part of the king’s court as if they were one household living together. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [all you who serve in the king’s court]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לָ⁠כֶ֖ם הַ⁠מִּשְׁפָּ֑ט

to/for=you(pl) the,judgment

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of judgment, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [you will be judged]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

פַח֙

snare

The speaker is speaking of the leaders trying to get the people to sin as if they were setting a trap or a snare to catch animals. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a cause of sin]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠רֶ֖שֶׁת פְּרוּשָׂ֥ה עַל תָּבֽוֹר

and,a_net_of spread_out on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Tāⱱōr

The speaker is speaking as if the leaders were a trap or a net spread to catch prey. He means that they have trapped the people in sin. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and you have schemed to make the people sin at Tabor]
