1 According to the word of Ephraim he adopted ordinances for himself in Israel; and he established them for Baal, and died.
loquente Ephraim horror invasit Israhel et deliquit in Baal et mortuus est
2 And now they have sinned increasingly, and have made for themselves a molten image of their silver, according to the fashion of idols, the work of artificers accomplished for them: they say, Sacrifice men, for the calves have come to an end.
et nunc addiderunt ad peccandum feceruntque sibi conflatile de argento suo quasi similitudinem idolorum factura artificum totum est his ipsi dicunt immolate homines vitulos adorantes
3 Therefore shall they be as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that passes away, as chaff blown away from the threshing floor, and as a vapour from tears.
idcirco erunt quasi nubes matutina et sicut ros matutinus praeteriens sicut pulvis turbine raptus ex area et sicut fumus de fumario
4 But I am the Lord your God that establishes the heaven, and creates the earth, whose hands have framed the whole host of heaven: but I showed them not to you that you should go after them: and I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and you shall know no God but me; and there is no Saviour beside me.
ego autem Dominus Deus tuus ex terra Aegypti et Deum absque me nescies et salvator non est praeter me
5 I tended you as a shepherd in the wilderness, in an uninhabited land.
ego cognovi te in deserto in terra solitudinis
6 According to their pastures, so they were completely filled; and their hearts were exalted; therefore they forgot me.
iuxta pascua sua et adimpleti sunt et saturati elevaverunt cor suum et obliti sunt mei
7 And I will be to them as a panther, and as a leopard.
et ero eis quasi leaena sicut pardus in via Assyriorum
8 I will meet them by the way of the Assyrians, as a she-bear excited, and I will rend the caul of their heart, and the lions' whelps of the thicket shall devour them there; the wild beasts of the field shall rend them in pieces.
occurram eis quasi ursa raptis catulis et disrumpam interiora iecoris eorum et consumam eos ibi quasi leo bestia agri scindet eos
9 O Israel, who will aid [you] in your destruction?
perditio tua Israhel tantummodo in me auxilium tuum
10 Where is this your king? let him even save you in all your cities: let him judge you, of whom you said, Give me a king and a prince.
ubi est rex tuus maxime nunc salvet te in omnibus urbibus tuis et iudices tui de quibus dixisti da mihi regem et principes
11 And I gave you a king in mine anger, and kept [him] back in my wrath.
dabo tibi regem in furore meo et auferam in indignatione mea
12 Ephraim [has framed] a conspiracy of unrighteousness, his sin is hidden.
conligata est iniquitas Ephraim absconditum peccatum eius
13 Pains as of a woman in travail shall come upon him: he is your wise son, because he shall not stay in the destruction of [your] children.
dolores parturientis venient ei ipse filius non sapiens nunc enim non stabit in contritione filiorum
14 I will deliver [them] out of the power of Hades, and will redeem them from death: where is your penalty, O death? O Hades, where is your sting? comfort is hidden from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
de manu mortis liberabo eos de morte redimam eos ero mors tua o mors ero morsus tuus inferne consolatio abscondita est ab oculis meis (Sheol h7585)
15 Forasmuch as he will cause a division amongst [his] brethren, the Lord shall bring upon him an east wind from the desert, and shall dry up his veins [and] quite drain his fountains: he shall dry up his land, and [spoil] all his precious vessels.
quia ipse inter fratres dividet adducet urentem ventum Dominus de deserto ascendentem et siccabit venas eius et desolabit fontem eius et ipse diripiet thesaurum omnis vasis desiderabilis
16 Samaria shall be utterly destroyed: for she has resisted her God; they shall fall by the sword, and their sucklings shall be dashed against the ground, and their women with child ripped up.
pereat Samaria quoniam ad amaritudinem concitavit Dominum suum in gladio pereat parvuli eorum elidantur et fetae eius discindantur
