Hosea 11
1 WHEN Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
Sicut mane transiit, pertransit rex Israel. Quia puer Israel, et dilexi eum: et ex Aegypto vocavi filium meum.
2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
Vocaverunt eos, sic abierunt a facie eorum: Baalim immolabant, et simulachris sacrificabant.
3 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
Et ego quasi nutricius Ephraim, portabam eos in brachiis meis: et nescierunt quod curarem eos.
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.
In funiculis Adam traham eos, in vinculis charitatis: et ero eis quasi exaltans iugum super maxillas eorum: et declinavi ad eum ut vesceretur.
5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
Non revertetur in Terram Aegypti, et Assur ipse rex eius: quoniam noluerunt converti.
6 And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
Coepit gladius in civitatibus eius, et consumet electos eius, et comedet capita eorum.
7 And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
Et populus meus pendebit ad reditum meum: iugum autem imponetur eis simul, quod non auferetur.
8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
Quomodo dabo te Ephraim, protegam te Israel? quomodo dabo te sicut Adama, ponam te, ut Seboim? Conversum est in me cor meum, pariter conturbata est poenitudo mea.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
Non faciam furorem irae meae: non convertar ut disperdam Ephraim: quoniam Deus ego, et non homo: in medio tui sanctus, et non ingrediar civitatem.
10 They shall walk after the Lord: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
Post Dominum ambulabunt, quasi leo rugiet: quia ipse rugiet, et formidabunt filii maris.
11 They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the Lord.
Et avolabunt quasi avis ex Aegypto, et quasi columba de Terra Assyriorum: et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.
12 Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
Circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim, et in dolo domus Israel: Iudas autem testis descendit cum Deo, et cum sanctis fidelis.
