Hosea 2
1 “Say of your brothers, ‘My people,’ and of your sisters, ‘My loved one.’
dicite fratribus vestris Populus meus et sorori vestrae Misericordiam consecuta
2 Rebuke your mother, rebuke her, for she is not My wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove the adultery from her face and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.
iudicate matrem vestram iudicate quoniam ipsa non uxor mea et ego non vir eius auferat fornicationes suas a facie sua et adulteria sua de medio uberum suorum
3 Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her like the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and turn her into a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.
ne forte expoliem eam nudam et statuam eam secundum diem nativitatis suae et ponam eam quasi solitudinem et statuam eam velut terram inviam et interficiam eam siti
4 I will have no compassion on her children, because they are the children of adultery.
et filiorum illius non miserebor quoniam filii fornicationum sunt
5 For their mother has played the harlot and has conceived them in disgrace. For she thought, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me bread and water, wool and linen, oil and drink.’
quia fornicata est mater eorum confusa est quae concepit eos quia dixit vadam post amatores meos qui dant panes mihi et aquas meas lanam meam et linum meum oleum meum et potum meum
6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her path with thorns; I will enclose her with a wall, so she cannot find her way.
propter hoc ecce ego sepiam viam tuam spinis et sepiam eam maceria et semitas suas non inveniet
7 She will pursue her lovers but not catch them; she will seek them but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will return to my first husband, for then I was better off than now.’
et sequetur amatores suos et non adprehendet eos et quaeret eos et non inveniet et dicet vadam et revertar ad virum meum priorem quia bene mihi erat tunc magis quam nunc
8 For she does not acknowledge that it was I who gave her grain, new wine, and oil, who lavished on her silver and gold— which they crafted for Baal.
et haec nescivit quia ego dedi ei frumentum et vinum et oleum et argentum multiplicavi ei et aurum quae fecerunt Baal
9 Therefore I will take back My grain in its time and My new wine in its season; I will take away My wool and linen, which were given to cover her nakedness.
idcirco convertar et sumam frumentum meum in tempore suo et vinum meum in tempore suo et liberabo lanam meam et linum meum quae operiebant ignominiam eius
10 And then I will expose her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of My hands.
et nunc revelabo stultitiam eius in oculis amatorum eius et vir non eruet eam de manu mea
11 I will put an end to all her exultation: her feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths— all her appointed feasts.
et cessare faciam omne gaudium eius sollemnitatem eius neomeniam eius sabbatum eius et omnia festa tempora eius
12 I will destroy her vines and fig trees, which she thinks are the wages paid by her lovers. So I will make them into a thicket, and the beasts of the field will devour them.
et corrumpam vineam eius et ficum eius de quibus dixit mercedes hae meae sunt quas dederunt mihi amatores mei et ponam eam in saltu et comedet illam bestia agri
13 I will punish her for the days of the Baals when she burned incense to them, when she decked herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers. But Me she forgot,”
et visitabo super eam dies Baalim quibus accendebat incensum et ornabatur inaure sua et monili suo et ibat post amatores suos et mei obliviscebatur dicit Dominus
14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her and lead her to the wilderness, and speak to her tenderly.
propter hoc ecce ego lactabo eam et ducam eam in solitudinem et loquar ad cor eius
15 There I will give back her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor into a gateway of hope. There she will respond as she did in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
et dabo ei vinitores eius ex eodem loco et vallem Achor ad aperiendam spem et canet ibi iuxta dies iuventutis suae et iuxta dies ascensionis suae de terra Aegypti
16 In that day,” declares the LORD, “you will call Me ‘my Husband,’ and no longer call Me ‘my Master.’
et erit in die illo ait Dominus vocabit me Vir meus et non vocabit me ultra Baali
17 For I will remove from her lips the names of the Baals; no longer will their names be invoked.
et auferam nomina Baalim de ore eius et non recordabitur ultra nominis eorum
18 On that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the creatures that crawl on the ground. And I will abolish bow and sword and weapons of war in the land, and will make them lie down in safety.
et percutiam eis foedus in die illa cum bestia agri et cum volucre caeli et cum reptili terrae et arcum et gladium et bellum conteram de terra et dormire eos faciam fiducialiter
19 So I will betroth you to Me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in loving devotion and compassion.
et sponsabo te mihi in sempiternum et sponsabo te mihi in iustitia et iudicio et in misericordia et miserationibus
20 And I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will know the LORD.”
et sponsabo te mihi in fide et scies quia ego Dominus
21 “On that day I will respond—” declares the LORD— “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth.
et erit in illa die exaudiam dicit Dominus exaudiam caelos et illi exaudient terram
22 And the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.
et terra exaudiet triticum et vinum et oleum et haec exaudient Hiezrahel
23 And I will sow her as My own in the land, and I will have compassion on ‘No Compassion.’ I will say to those called ‘Not My People,’ ‘You are My people,’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”
et seminabo eam mihi in terram et miserebor eius quae fuit absque misericordia et dicam non populo meo populus meus tu et ipse dicet Dominus meus es tu
