Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spoke, they were feared, for they were the leading tribe in Israel. But when they were guilty of Baal worship, they died.
loquente Ephraim horror invasit Israhel et deliquit in Baal et mortuus est
2 Now they constantly sin, making for themselves idols from molten metal. All of these idols are skillfully made from silver by their craftsmen. “Offer sacrifices to these idols,” say the people. “Kiss the bull calf idols.”
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 Consequently they will be like the morning mist, like early morning dew, like chaff blowing away from the threshing floor, like smoke from a chimney.
idcirco erunt quasi nubes matutina et sicut ros matutinus praeteriens sicut pulvis turbine raptus ex area et sicut fumus de fumario
4 Yet I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt. You shall know no other gods but me. None can save you except me.
ego autem Dominus Deus tuus ex terra Aegypti et Deum absque me nescies et salvator non est praeter me
5 I looked after you in the wilderness; in that dry desert land it was like pasture to them
ego cognovi te in deserto in terra solitudinis
6 and they were satisfied. But when they were satisfied they became arrogant, and they forgot me.
iuxta pascua sua et adimpleti sunt et saturati elevaverunt cor suum et obliti sunt mei
7 So I will be like a lion to them, like a leopard I will lie in wait beside the path.
et ero eis quasi leaena sicut pardus in via Assyriorum
8 I will be like a mother bear whose cubs have been taken, I will rip out their hearts. I shall devour them like a lion, like a wild beast I will tear them apart.
occurram eis quasi ursa raptis catulis et disrumpam interiora iecoris eorum et consumam eos ibi quasi leo bestia agri scindet eos
9 You have destroyed yourselves, Israel, for your only help is in me.
perditio tua Israhel tantummodo in me auxilium tuum
10 Where then is your king? Let him save you in all your cities! Where are your leaders who demanded a king and princes from me?
ubi est rex tuus maxime nunc salvet te in omnibus urbibus tuis et iudices tui de quibus dixisti da mihi regem et principes
11 In my anger I give you a king, and in my fury I take one.
dabo tibi regem in furore meo et auferam in indignatione mea
12 Ephraim's guilt is packed up; their sin will be eradicated.
conligata est iniquitas Ephraim absconditum peccatum eius
13 The pain of childbirth has come to them, trying to give birth to a son who is not “wise” because he is not in the right position when the time comes.
dolores parturientis venient ei ipse filius non sapiens nunc enim non stabit in contritione filiorum
14 I shall redeem them from the power of Sheol; I shall deliver them from death. Where, death, are your plagues? Where, Sheol, is your destruction? Compassion is hidden from my sight. (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 Even though they flourish among the reeds, an east wind will come, a wind from the Lord that rises in the desert will dry up their springs and their wells will fail. It will rob from their treasury everything of value.
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 will have to bear the consequences of their guilt, because they rebelled against her God. They will be slaughtered by the sword; their children will be dashed to the ground; their pregnant women will be ripped open.
pereat Samaria quoniam ad amaritudinem concitavit Dominum suum in gladio pereat parvuli eorum elidantur et fetae eius discindantur
