Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spake, there was trembling: hee exalted him selfe in Israel, but he hath sinned in Baal, and is dead.
Loquente Ephraim, horror invasit Israël; et deliquit in Baal, et mortuus est.
2 And nowe they sinne more and more, and haue made them molten images of their siluer, and idoles according to their owne vnderstanding: they were all the woorke of the craftesmen: they say one to another whiles they sacrifice a man, Let them kisse the calues.
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 they shall bee as the morning cloude, and as the morning dewe that passeth away, as the chaffe that is driuen with a whirlewind out of the floore, and as the smoke that goeth out of the chimney.
Idcirco erunt quasi nubes matutina, et sicut ros matutinus præteriens; sicut pulvis turbine raptus ex area, et sicut fumus de fumario.
4 Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt knowe no God but me: for there is no Sauiour beside me.
Ego autem Dominus Deus tuus, ex terra Ægypti; et Deum absque me nescies, et salvator non est præter me.
5 I did knowe thee in the wildernesse, in the land of drought.
Ego cognovi te in deserto, in terra solitudinis.
6 As in their pastures, so were they filled: they were filled, and their heart was exalted: therefore haue they forgotten me.
Juxta pascua sua adimpleti sunt et saturati sunt; et levaverunt cor suum, et obliti sunt mei.
7 And I wil be vnto them as a very lyon, and as a leopard in the way of Asshur.
Et ego ero eis quasi leæna, sicut pardus in via Assyriorum.
8 I will meete them, as a beare that is robbed of her whelpes, and I will breake the kall of their heart, and there will I deuoure them like a lion: the wilde beast shall teare them.
Occurram eis quasi ursa raptis catulis, et dirumpam interiora jecoris eorum, et consumam eos ibi quasi leo: bestia agri scindet eos.
9 O Israel, one hath destroyed thee, but in me is thine helpe.
Perditio tua, Israël: tantummodo in me auxilium tuum.
10 I am: where is thy King, that shoulde help thee in al thy cities? and thy iudges, of whom thou saidest, Giue me a King, and princes?
Ubi est rex tuus? maxime nunc salvet te in omnibus urbibus tuis; et judices tui, de quibus dixisti: Da mihi regem et principes.
11 I gaue thee a King in mine anger, and I tooke him away in my wrath.
Dabo tibi regem in furore meo, et auferam in indignatione mea.
12 The iniquitie of Ephraim is bound vp: his sinne is hid.
Colligata est iniquitas Ephraim; absconditum peccatum ejus.
13 The sorowes of a trauailing woman shall come vpon him: he is an vnwise sonne, els would he not stande still at the time, euen at the breaking forth of the children.
Dolores parturientis venient ei: ipse filius non sapiens: nunc enim non stabit in contritione filiorum.
14 I wil redeeme them from the power of the graue: I will deliuer them from death: O death, I wil be thy death: O graue, I will be thy destruction: repentance is hid from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
De manu mortis liberabo eos; de morte redimam eos. Ero mors tua, o mors! morsus tuus ero, inferne! consolatio abscondita est ab oculis meis. (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he grewe vp among his brethren, an East winde shall come, euen the winde of the Lord shall come vp from the wildernesse, and drie vp his veine, and his fountaine shalbe dryed vp: he shall spoyle the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
Quia ipse inter fratres dividet: adducet urentem ventum Dominus de deserto ascendentem, et siccabit venas ejus, et desolabit fontem ejus: et ipse diripiet thesaurum omnis vasis desiderabilis.
16 Samaria shalbe desolate: for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sworde: their infants shalbe dashed in pieces, and their women with childe shalbe ript.
Pereat Samaria, quoniam ad amaritudinem concitavit Deum suum! in gladio pereant, parvuli eorum elidantur, et fœtæ ejus discindantur!
