Hosea 8
1 Set the trumpet to thy mouth: he shall come as an eagle against the House of the Lord, because they haue transgressed my couenant, and trespassed against my Lawe.
In gutture tuo sit tuba quasi aquila super domum Domini: pro eo quod transgressi sunt foedus meum, et legem meam praevaricati sunt.
2 Israel shall crie vnto me, My God, we know thee.
Me invocabunt: Deus meus cognovimus te Israel.
3 Israel hath cast off ye thing that is good: the enemie shall pursue him.
Proiecit Israel bonum, inimicus persequetur eum.
4 They haue set vp a King, but not by me: they haue made princes, and I knew it not: of their siluer and their gold haue they made them idoles: therefore shall they be destroyed.
Ipsi regnaverunt, et non ex me: principes extiterunt, et non cognovi: argentum suum, et aurum suum fecerunt sibi idola, ut interirent:
5 Thy calfe, O Samaria, hath cast thee off: mine anger is kindled against them: howe long will they be without innocencie!
proiectus est vitulus tuus Samaria, iratus est furor meus in eos. usquequo non poterunt emundari?
6 For it came euen from Israel: the workeman made it, therefore it is not God: but the calfe of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
Quia ex Israel et ipse est: artifex fecit illum, et non est Deus: quoniam in aranearum telas erit vitulus Samariae.
7 For they haue sowne the winde, and they shall reape the whirlewind: it hath no stalke: the budde shall bring foorth no meale: if so be it bring forth, the strangers shall deuoure it.
Quia ventum seminabunt, et turbinem metent: culmus stans non est in eo, germen non faciet farinam: quod et si fecerit, alieni comedent eam.
8 Israel is deuoured, now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessell wherein is no pleasure.
Devoratus est Israel: nunc factus est in nationibus quasi vas immundum.
9 For they are gone vp to Asshur: they are as a wilde asse alone by himselfe: Ephraim hath hired louers.
Quia ipsi ascenderunt ad Assur, onager solitarius sibi: Ephraim munera dederunt amatoribus.
10 Yet though they haue hired among the nations, nowe will I gather them, and they shall sorowe a litle, for the burden of the King and the princes.
Sed et cum mercede conduxerint nationes, nunc congregabo eos: et quiescent paulisper ab onere regis, et principum.
11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sinne, his altars shalbe to sinne.
Quia multiplicavit Ephraim altaria ad peccandum: factae sunt ei arae in delictum.
12 I haue written to them the great things of my Lawe: but they were counted as a strange thing.
Scribam ei multiplices leges meas, quae velut alienae computatae sunt.
13 They sacrifice flesh for ye sacrifices of mine offerings, and eate it: but the Lord accepteth them not: now will he remember their iniquitie, and visite their sinnes: they shall returne to Egypt.
Hostias offerent, immolabunt carnes, et comedent, et Dominus non suscipiet eas: nunc recordabitur iniquitatis eorum, et visitabit peccata eorum: ipsi in Aegyptum convertentur.
14 For Israel hath forgotten his maker, and buildeth Temples, and Iudah hath increased strong cities: but I will sende a fire vpon his cities, and it shall deuoure the palaces thereof.
Et oblitus est Israel factoris sui, et aedificavit delubra: et Iuda multiplicavit urbes munitas: et mittam ignem in civitates eius, et devorabit aedes illius.
