Hosea 2
1 Say all of you unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
Dicite fratribus vestris: Populus meus: et sorori vestrae, Misericordiam consecuta.
2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
Iudicate matrem vestram, iudicate: quoniam ipsa non uxor mea, et ego non vir eius. auferat fornicationes suas a facie sua, et adulteria sua de medio uberum suorum.
3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
Ne forte expoliem eam nudam, et statuam eam secundum diem nativitatis suae: et ponam eam quasi solitudinem, et statuam eam velut terram inviam, et interficiam eam siti.
4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.
Et filiorum illius non miserebor: quoniam filii fornicationum sunt.
5 For their mother has played the harlot: she that conceived them has done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
quia fornicata est mater eorum, confusa est quae concepit eos: quia dixit: Vadam post amatores meos, qui dant panes mihi, et aquas meas, lanam meam, et linum meum, oleum meum, et potum meum.
6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
Propter hoc ecce ego sepiam viam tuam spinis, et sepiam eam maceria, et semitas suas non inveniet.
7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
Et sequetur amatores suos, et non apprehendet eos: et quaeret eos, et non inveniet, et dicet: Vadam, et revertar ad virum meum priorem: quia bene mihi erat tunc magis quam nunc.
8 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
Et haec nescivit, quia ego dedi ei frumentum, et vinum, et oleum, et argentum multiplicavi ei, et aurum, quae fecerunt Baal.
9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
Idcirco convertar, et sumam frumentum meum in tempore suo, et vinum meum in tempore suo, et liberabo lanam meam et linum meum, quae operiebant ignominiam eius.
10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
Et nunc revelabo stultitiam eius in oculis amatorum eius: et vir non eruet eam de manu mea:
11 I will also cause all her delight to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
et cessare faciam omne gaudium eius, sollemnitatem eius, neomeniam eius, sabbatum eius, et omnia festa tempora eius.
12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she has said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
Et corrumpam vineam eius, et ficum eius: de quibus dixit: Mercedes hae, meae sunt, quas dederunt mihi amatores mei: et ponam eam in saltum, et comedet eam bestia agri.
13 And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgotten about me, says the LORD.
Et visitabo super eam dies Baalim, quibus accendebat incensum, et ornabatur inaure sua, et monili suo, et ibat post amatores suos, et mei obliviscebatur, dicit Dominus.
14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
Propter hoc, ecce ego lactabo eam, et ducam eam in solitudinem: et loquar ad cor eius.
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
Et dabo ei vinitores eius ex eodem loco, et Vallem Achor ad aperiendam spem: et canet ibi iuxta dies iuventutis suae, et iuxta dies ascensionis suae de Terra Aegypti.
16 And it shall be at that day, says the LORD, that you shall call me Ishi; and shall call me no more Baali.
Et erit in die illa, ait Dominus: vocabit me: Vir meus: et non vocabit me ultra, Baalim.
17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
Et auferam nomina Baalim de ore eius, et non recordabitur ultra nominis eorum.
18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
Et percutiam cum eis foedus in die illa, cum bestia agri, et cum volucre caeli, et cum reptili terrae: et arcum, et gladium, et bellum conteram de terra: et dormire eos faciam fiducialiter.
19 And I will betroth you unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth you unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving kindness, and in mercies.
Et sponsabo te mihi in sempiternum: et sponsabo te mihi in iustitia, et iudicio, et in misericordia, et in miserationibus.
20 I will even betroth you unto me in faithfulness: and you shall know the LORD.
Et sponsabo te mihi in fide: et scies quia ego Dominus.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, says the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
Et erit in die illa: Exaudiam, dicit Dominus, exaudiam caelos, et illi exaudient terram.
22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
Et terra exaudiet triticum, et vinum, et oleum: et haec exaudient Iezrahel.
23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, You are my people; and they shall say, You are my God.
Et seminabo eam mihi in terra, et miserebor eius, quae fuit Absque misericordia. Et dicam non populo meo: Populus meus es tu: et ipse dicet: Deus meus es tu.
