Osee 9
1 Rejoice not, O Israel, neither make merry, as [other] nations: for you have gone a-whoring from your God; you have loved gifts upon every threshing floor.
Noli laetari Israel, noli exultare sicut populi: quia fornicatus es a Deo tuo, dilexisti mercedem super omnes areas tritici.
2 The threshing floor and wine-press knew them not, and the wine disappointed them.
Area et torcular non pascet eos, et vinum mentietur eis.
3 They lived not in the Lord's land: Ephraim lived in Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things amongst the Assyrians.
Non habitabunt in terra Domini: reversus est Ephraim in Aegyptum, et in Assyriis pollutum comedit.
4 They have not offered wine to the Lord, neither have their sacrifices been sweet to him, [but] as the bread of mourning to them; all that eat them shall be defiled; for their bread for their soul shall not enter into the house of the Lord.
Non libabunt Domino vinum, et non placebunt ei: sacrificia eorum quasi panis lugentium. omnes, qui comedent eum, contaminabuntur: quia panis eorum animae ipsorum, non intrabit in domum Domini.
5 What will you do in the day of the general assembly, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?
Quid facietis in die sollemni, in die festivitatis Domini?
6 Therefore, behold, they go forth from the trouble of Egypt, and Memphis shall receive them, and Machmas shall bury them: [as for] their silver, destruction shall inherit it; thorns [shall be] in their tents.
Ecce enim profecti sunt a vastitate: Aegyptus congregabit eos, Memphis sepeliet eos: desiderabile argentum eorum urtica hereditabit, lappa in tabernaculis eorum.
7 The days of vengeance are come, the days of your recompense are come; and Israel shall be afflicted as the prophet that is mad, as a man deranged: by reason of the multitude of your iniquities your madness has abounded.
Venerunt dies visitationis, venerunt dies retributionis: scitote Israel stultum prophetam, insanum virum spiritualem, propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae, et multitudinem amentiae.
8 The watchman of Ephraim [was] with God: the prophet is a crooked snare in all his ways: they have established madness in the house of God.
Speculator Ephraim cum Deo meo: propheta laqueus ruinae factus est super omnes vias eius, insania in domo Dei eius.
9 They have corrupted themselves according to the days of the hill: he will remember their iniquities, he will take vengeance on their sins.
Profunde peccaverunt, sicut in diebus Gabaa: recordabitur iniquitatis eorum, et visitabit peccata eorum.
10 I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness, and I saw their fathers as an early watchman in a fig tree: they went in to Beel-phegor, and were shamefully estranged, and the abominable became as the beloved.
Quasi uvas in deserto inveni Israel: quasi prima poma ficulneae in cacumine eius vidi patres eorum: ipsi autem intraverunt ad Beelphegor, et abalienati sunt in confusionem, et facti sunt abominabiles sicut ea, quae dilexerunt.
11 Ephraim has flown away as a bird; their glories from the birth, and the travail, and the conception.
Ephraim quasi avis avolavit, gloria eorum a partu, et ab utero, et a conceptu.
12 For even if they should rear their children, yet shall they be utterly bereaved: therefore also there is woe to them, [though] my flesh is of them.
Quod et si enutrierint filios suos, absque liberis eos faciam in hominibus: sed et vae eis cum recessero ab eis.
13 Ephraim, [even] as I saw, gave their children for a prey; yes, Ephraim [was ready] to bring out his children to slaughter.
Ephraim, ut vidi, Tyrus erat fundata in pulchritudine: et Ephraim educet ad interfectorem filios suos.
14 Give them, O Lord: what will you give them? a miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.
Da eis Domine. Quid dabis eis? Da eis vulvam sine liberis, et ubera arentia.
15 All their wickedness is in Galgal: for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their practices, I will cast them out of my house, I will not love them any more: all their princes are disobedient.
Omnes nequitiae eorum in Galgal, quia ibi exosos habui eos: propter malitiam adinventionum eorum de domo mea eiiciam eos: non addam ut diligam eos, omnes principes eorum recedentes.
16 Ephraim is sick, he is dried up at his roots, he shall in no wise any more bear fruit: therefore even if they should beget [children], I will kill the desired [fruit] of their womb.
Percussus est Ephraim, radix eorum exiccata est: fructum nequaquam facient. Quod et si genuerint, interficiam amantissima uteri eorum.
17 God shall reject them, because they have not listened to him: and they shall be wanderers amongst the nations.
Abiiciet eos Deus meus, quia non audierunt eum: et erunt vagi in nationibus.
