Hosea 9
1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every threshing floor.
Noli lætari Israel, noli exultare sicut populi: quia fornicatus es a Deo tuo, dilexisti mercedem super omnes areas tritici.
2 The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
Area et torcular non pascet eos, et vinum mentietur eis.
3 They shall not dwell in Yhwh's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.
Non habitabunt in terra Domini: reversus est Ephraim in Ægyptum, et in Assyriis pollutum comedit.
4 They shall not offer wine offerings to Yhwh, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of Yhwh.
Non libabunt Domino vinum, et non placebunt ei: sacrificia eorum quasi panis lugentium. Omnes, qui comedent eum, contaminabuntur: quia panis eorum animæ ipsorum, non intrabit in domum Domini.
5 What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of Yhwh?
Quid facietis in die sollemni, in die festivitatis Domini?
6 For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.
Ecce enim profecti sunt a vastitate: Ægyptus congregabit eos, Memphis sepeliet eos: desiderabile argentum eorum urtica hereditabit, lappa in tabernaculis eorum.
7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
Venerunt dies visitationis, venerunt dies retributionis: scitote Israel stultum prophetam, insanum virum spiritualem, propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuæ, et multitudinem amentiæ.
8 The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.
Speculator Ephraim cum Deo meo: propheta laqueus ruinæ factus est super omnes vias eius, insania in domo Dei eius.
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
Profunde peccaverunt, sicut in diebus Gabaa: recordabitur iniquitatis eorum, et visitabit peccata eorum.
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baal–peor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
Quasi uvas in deserto inveni Israel: quasi prima poma ficulneæ in cacumine eius vidi patres eorum: ipsi autem intraverunt ad Beelphegor, et abalienati sunt in confusionem, et facti sunt abominabiles sicut ea, quæ dilexerunt.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
Ephraim quasi avis avolavit, gloria eorum a partu, et ab utero, et a conceptu.
12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
Quod et si enutrierint filios suos, absque liberis eos faciam in hominibus: sed et væ eis cum recessero ab eis.
13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
Ephraim, ut vidi, Tyrus erat fundata in pulchritudine: et Ephraim educet ad interfectorem filios suos.
14 Give them, O Yhwh: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
Da eis Domine. Quid dabis eis? Da eis vulvam sine liberis, et ubera arentia.
15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.
Omnes nequitiæ eorum in Galgal, quia ibi exosos habui eos: propter malitiam adinventionum eorum de domo mea eiiciam eos: non addam ut diligam eos, omnes principes eorum recedentes.
16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
Percussus est Ephraim, radix eorum exsiccata est: fructum nequaquam facient. Quod et si genuerint, interficiam amantissima uteri eorum.
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Abiiciet eos Deus meus, quia non audierunt eum: et erunt vagi in nationibus.
