Hosea 10
1 Israel is a emptie vine, yet hath it brought foorth fruite vnto it selfe, and according to the multitude of the fruite thereof he hath increased the altars: according to the goodnesse of their lande they haue made faire images.
Vitis frondosa Israel, fructus adaequatus est ei: secundum multitudinem fructus sui multiplicavit altaria, iuxta ubertatem terrae suae exuberavit simulachris.
2 Their heart is deuided: nowe shall they be founde faultie: he shall breake downe their altars: he shall destroy their images.
Divisum est cor eorum, nunc interibunt: ipse confringet simulachra eorum, depopulabitur aras eorum.
3 For now they shall say, We haue no King because we feared not the Lord: and what should a King doe to vs?
Quia nunc dicent: Non est rex nobis: non enim timemus Dominum: et rex quid faciet nobis?
4 They haue spoken woordes, swearing falsly in making a couenant: thus iudgement groweth as wormewoode in the furrowes of the fielde.
Loquimini verba visionis inutilis, et ferietis foedus: et germinabit quasi amaritudo iudicium super sulcos agri.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall feare because of the calfe of Beth-auen: for the people thereof shall mourne ouer it, and the Chemarims thereof, that reioyced on it for the glorie thereof, because it is departed from it.
Vaccas Bethaven coluerunt habitatores Samariae: quia luxit super eum populus eius, et aeditui eius super eum exultaverunt in gloria eius, quia migravit ab eo.
6 It shall bee also brought to Asshur, for a present vnto King Iareb: Ephraim shall receiue shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his owne counsell.
Siquidem et ipse in Assur delatus est, munus regi Ultori: confusio Ephraim capiet, et confundetur Israel in voluntate sua.
7 Of Samaria, the King thereof is destroyed as the some vpon the water.
Transire fecit Samaria regem suum quasi spumam super faciem aquae.
8 The hie places also of Auen shall be destroied, euen the sinne of Israel: the thorne and the thistle shall growe vpon their altars, and they shall say to the mountaines, Couer vs, and to the hils, Fall vpon vs.
Et disperdentur excelsa idoli, peccatum Israel: lappa, et tribulus ascendet super aras eorum: et dicent montibus: Operite nos; et collibus: Cadite super nos.
9 O Israel, thou hast sinned from the daies of Gibeah: there they stoode: the battell in Gibeah against the children of iniquitie did not touch them.
Ex diebus Gabaa, peccavit Israel, ibi steterunt: non comprehendet eos in Gabaa praelium super filios iniquitatis.
10 It is my desire that I should chastice them, and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall gather themselues in their two furrowes.
Iuxta desiderium meum corripiam eos: congregabuntur super eos populi, cum corripientur propter duas iniquitates suas.
11 And Ephraim is as an heifer vsed to delite in threshing: but I will passe by her faire necke: I will make Ephraim to ride: Iudah shall plowe, and Iaakob shall breake his cloddes.
Ephraim vitula docta diligere trituram, et ego transivi super pulchritudinem colli eius: ascendam super Ephraim, arabit Iuda, confringet sibi sulcos Iacob.
12 Sowe to your selues in righteousnes: reape after the measure of mercy: breake vp your fallowe grounde: for it is time to seeke the Lord, till he come and raine righteousnesse vpon you.
Seminate vobis in iustitia, et metite in ore misericordiae, innovate vobis novale: tempus autem requirendi Dominum, cum venerit qui docebit vos iustitiam.
13 But you haue plowed wickednesse: ye haue reaped iniquitie: you haue eaten the fruite of lies: because thou didest trust in thine owne waies, and in the multitude of thy strong men,
Arastis impietatem, iniquitatem messuistis, comedistis frugem mendacii: quia confisus es in viis tuis, in multitudine fortium tuorum.
14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy munitions shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-arbell in the daie of battell: the mother with the children was dashed in pieces.
Consurget tumultus in populo tuo: et omnes munitiones tuae vastabuntur, sicut vastatus est Salmana a domo eius qui iudicavit Baal in die praelii, matre super filios allisa.
15 So shall Beth-el doe vnto you, because of your malicious wickednes: in a morning shall the King of Israel be destroied.
Sic fecit vobis Bethel, a facie malitiae nequitiarum vestrarum.
