Hosea 14

1 O Israel, come back to the Lord your God; for your evil-doing has been the cause of your fall.

convertere Israhel ad Dominum Deum tuum quoniam corruisti in iniquitate tua

2 Take with you words, and come back to the Lord; say to him, Let there be forgiveness for all wrongdoing, so that we may take what is good, and give in payment the fruit of our lips.

tollite vobiscum verba et convertimini ad Dominum dicite ei omnem aufer iniquitatem et accipe bonum et reddemus vitulos labiorum nostrorum

3 Assyria will not be our salvation; we will not go on horses; we will not again say to the work of our hands, You are our gods; for in you there is mercy for the child who has no father.

Assur non salvabit nos super equum non ascendemus nec dicemus ultra dii nostri opera manuum nostrarum quia eius qui in te est misereberis pupilli

4 I will put right their errors; freely will my love be given to them, for my wrath is turned away from him.

sanabo contritiones eorum diligam eos spontanee quia aversus est furor meus ab eo

5 I will be as the dew to Israel; he will put out flowers like a lily, and send out his roots like Lebanon.

ero quasi ros Israhel germinabit quasi lilium et erumpet radix eius ut Libani

6 His branches will be stretched out, he will be beautiful as the olive-tree and sweet-smelling as Lebanon.

ibunt rami eius et erit quasi oliva gloria eius et odor eius ut Libani

7 They will come back and have rest in his shade; their life will be made new like the grain, and they will put out flowers like the vine; his name will be like the wine of Lebanon.

convertentur sedentes in umbra eius vivent tritico et germinabunt quasi vinea memoriale eius sicut vinum Libani

8 As for Ephraim, what has he to do with false gods any longer? I have given an answer and I will keep watch over him; I am like a branching fir-tree, from me comes your fruit.

Ephraim quid mihi ultra idola ego exaudiam et dirigam eum ego ut abietem virentem ex me fructus tuus inventus est

9 He who is wise will see these things; he who has good sense will have knowledge of them. For the ways of the Lord are straight, and the upright will go in them, but sinners will be falling in them.

quis sapiens et intelleget ista intellegens et sciet haec quia rectae viae Domini et iusti ambulabunt in eis praevaricatores vero corruent in eis
