Osee 5
1 Hear these things, you priests; and attend, O house of Israel; and listen, O house of the king; for the controversy is with you, because you have been a snare in Scopia, and as a net spread on Itabyrium,
Audite hoc, sacerdotes, et attendite, domus Israël, et domus regis, auscultate: quia vobis judicium est, quoniam laqueus facti estis speculationi, et rete expansum super Thabor.
2 which they that hunt the prey have fixed: but I will correct you.
Et victimas declinastis in profundum; et ego eruditor omnium eorum.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not far from me: for now Ephraim has gone grievously a-whoring, Israel is defiled.
Ego scio Ephraim, et Israël non est absconditus a me: quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim; contaminatus est Israël.
4 They have not framed their counsels to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in them, and they have not known the Lord.
Non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Deum suum, quia spiritus fornicationum in medio eorum, et Dominum non cognoverunt.
5 And the pride of Israel shall be brought low before his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall in their iniquities; and Judas also shall fall with them.
Et respondebit arrogantia Israël in facie ejus, et Israël et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua: ruet etiam Judas cum eis.
6 They shall go with sheep and calves diligently to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him, for he has withdrawn himself from them.
In gregibus suis et in armentis suis vadent ad quærendum Dominum, et non invenient: ablatus est ab eis.
7 For they have forsaken the Lord; for strange children have been born to them: now shall the cankerworm devour them and their heritages.
In Dominum prævaricati sunt, quia filios alienos genuerunt: nunc devorabit eos mensis, cum partibus suis.
8 Blow you the trumpet on the hills, sound aloud on the heights: proclaim in the house of On, Benjamin is amazed.
Clangite buccina in Gabaa, tuba in Rama; ululate in Bethaven, post tergum tuum, Benjamin.
9 Ephraim has come to nothing in the days of reproof: in the tribes of Israel I have shown faithful [dealings].
Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis; in tribubus Israël ostendi fidem.
10 The princes of Juda became as they that removed the bounds: I will pour out upon them my fury as water.
Facti sunt principes Juda quasi assumentes terminum; super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam.
11 Ephraim altogether prevailed against his adversary, he trod judgement under foot, for he began to go after vanities.
Calumniam patiens est Ephraim, fractus judicio, quoniam cœpit abire post sordes.
12 Therefore I [will be] as consternation to Ephraim, and as a goad to the house of Juda.
Et ego quasi tinea Ephraim, et quasi putredo domui Juda.
13 And Ephraim saw his disease, and Judas his pain; then Ephraim went to the Assyrians, and sent ambassadors to king Jarim: but he could not heal you, and your pain shall in nowise cease from you.
Et vidit Ephraim languorem suum, et Juda vinculum suum; et abiit Ephraim ad Assur, et misit ad regem ultorem: et ipse non poterit sanare vos, nec solvere poterit a vobis vinculum.
14 Therefore I am as a panther to Ephraim, and as a lion to the house of Juda: and I will tear, and go away; and I will take, and there shall be none to deliver.
Quoniam ego quasi leæna Ephraim, et quasi catulus leonis domui Juda. Ego, ego capiam, et vadam; tollam, et non est qui eruat.
15 I will go and return to my place, until they are brought to nothing, and [then] shall they seek my face.
Vadens revertar ad locum meum, donec deficiatis, et quæratis faciem meam.
