Hosea 8
1 Put the horn to your mouth. He comes like an eagle against the house of the Lord; because they have gone against my agreement, they have not kept my law.
In gutture tuo sit tuba quasi aquila super domum Domini, pro eo quod transgressi sunt fœdus meum, et legem meam prævaricati sunt.
2 They will send up to me a cry for help: We, Israel, have knowledge of you, O God of Israel.
Me invocabunt: Deus meus, cognovimus te Israël.
3 Israel has given up what is good; his haters will go after him.
Projecit Israël bonum: inimicus persequetur eum.
4 They have put up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, but I had no knowledge of it; they have made images of silver and gold, so that they may be cut off.
Ipsi regnaverunt, et non ex me; principes exstiterunt, et non cognovi: argentum suum et aurum suum fecerunt sibi idola, ut interirent.
5 I will have nothing to do with your young ox, O Samaria; my wrath is burning against them; how long will it be before the children of Israel make themselves clean?
Projectus est vitulus tuus, Samaria; iratus est furor meus in eos. Usquequo non poterunt emundari?
6 The workman made it, it is no god; the ox of Samaria will be broken into bits.
Quia ex Israël et ipse est: artifex fecit illum, et non est deus; quoniam in aranearum telas erit vitulus Samariæ.
7 For they have been planting the wind, and their fruit will be the storm; his grain has no stem, it will give no meal, and if it does, a strange nation will take it.
Quia ventum seminabunt, et turbinem metent: culmus stans non est in eo; germen non faciet farinam: quod etsi fecerit, alieni comedent eam.
8 Israel has come to destruction; now they are among the nations like a cup in which there is no pleasure.
Devoratus est Israël; nunc factus est in nationibus quasi vas immundum.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria like an ass going by himself; Ephraim has given money to get lovers.
Quia ipsi ascenderunt ad Assur, onager solitarius sibi; Ephraim munera dederunt amatoribus.
10 But though they give money to the nations for help, still I will send them in all directions; and in a short time they will be without a king and rulers.
Sed et cum mercede conduxerint nationes, nunc congregabo eos, et quiescent paulisper ab onere regis et principum.
11 Because Ephraim has been increasing altars for sin, altars have become a cause of sin to him.
Quia multiplicavit Ephraim altaria ad peccandum; factæ sunt ei aræ in delictum.
12 Though I put my law in writing for him in ten thousand rules, they are to him as a strange thing.
Scribam ei multiplices leges meas, quæ velut alienæ computatæ sunt.
13 He gives the offerings of his lovers, and takes the flesh for food; but the Lord has no pleasure in them; now he will keep in mind their evil-doing and give them the punishment of their sins; they will go back to Egypt.
Hostias offerent, immolabunt carnes et comedent, et Dominus non suscipiet eas: nunc recordabitur iniquitatis eorum, et visitabit peccata eorum: ipsi in Ægyptum convertentur.
14 For Israel has no memory of his Maker, and has put up the houses of kings; and Judah has made great the number of his walled towns. But I will send a fire on his towns and put an end to his great houses.
Et oblitus est Israël factoris sui, et ædificavit delubra; et Judas multiplicavit urbes munitas; et mittam ignem in civitates ejus, et devorabit ædes illius.
