< Osee 11 >
1 Early in the morning were they cast off, the king of Israel has been cast off: for Israel is a child, and I loved him, and out of Egypt have I called his children.
sicuti mane transit pertransiit rex Israhel quia puer Israhel et dilexi eum et ex Aegypto vocavi filium meum
2 As I called them, so they departed from my presence: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burnt incense to graven images.
vocaverunt eos sic abierunt a facie eorum Baalim immolabant et simulacris sacrificabant
3 Yet I bound the feet of Ephraim, I took him on my arm; but they knew not that I healed them.
et ego quasi nutricius Ephraim portabam eos in brachiis meis et nescierunt quod curarem eos
4 When men were destroyed, I drew them with the bands of my love: and I will be to them as a man striking [another] on his cheek: and I will have respect to him, I will prevail with him.
in funiculis Adam traham eos in vinculis caritatis et ero eis quasi exaltans iugum super maxillas eorum et declinavi ad eum ut vesceretur
5 Ephraim lived in Egypt; and [as for] the Assyrian, he was his king, because he would not return.
non revertetur in terram Aegypti et Assur ipse rex eius quoniam noluerunt converti
6 And in his cities he prevailed not with the sword, and he ceased [to war] with his hands: and they shall eat [of the fruit] of their own devices:
coepit gladius in civitatibus eius et consumet electos eius et comedet capita eorum
7 and his people [shall] cleave fondly to their habitation; but God shall be angry with his precious things, and shall not at all exalt him.
et populus meus pendebit ad reditum meum iugum autem inponetur ei simul quod non auferetur
8 How shall I deal with you, Ephraim? [how] shall I protect you, Israel? what shall I do with you? I will make you as Adama, and as Seboim; my heart is turned at once, my repentance is powerfully excited.
quomodo dabo te Ephraim protegam te Israhel quomodo dabo te sicut Adama ponam te ut Seboim conversum est in me cor meum pariter conturbata est paenitudo mea
9 I will not act according to the fury of my wrath, I will not abandon Ephraim to be utterly destroyed: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One within you: and I will not enter into the city.
non faciam furorem irae meae non convertar ut disperdam Ephraim quoniam Deus ego et non homo in medio tui Sanctus et non ingrediar civitatem
10 I will go after the Lord: he shall utter [his voice] as a lion: for he shall roar, and the children of the waters shall be amazed.
post Dominum ambulabunt quasi leo rugiet quia ipse rugiet et formidabunt filii maris
11 They shall be amazed [and fly] as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will restore them to their houses, says the Lord.
et avolabunt quasi avis ex Aegypto et quasi columba de terra Assyriorum et conlocabo eos in domibus suis dicit Dominus
12 Ephraim has compassed me with falsehood, and the house of Israel and Juda with ungodliness: [but] now God knows them, and they shall be called God's holy people.
circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim et in dolo domus Israhel Iudas autem testis descendit cum Deo et cum sanctis fidelis
