Hosea 8
1 Set the cornet to thy mouth. [Let the enemy come] like the eagle against the house of the Lord: because they have transgressed my covenant, and against my law have they trespassed.
In gutture tuo sit tuba quasi aquila super domum Domini: pro eo quod transgressi sunt foedus meum, et legem meam praevaricati sunt.
2 To me will they then cry, My God, we, Israel, know thee.
Me invocabunt: Deus meus cognovimus te Israel.
3 [But] Israel did reject the good; so let the enemy pursue him.
Proiecit Israel bonum, inimicus persequetur eum.
4 They set up kings, but not my advice: they chose princes and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made themselves idols so that they will be cut off.
Ipsi regnaverunt, et non ex me: principes extiterunt, et non cognovi: argentum suum, et aurum suum fecerunt sibi idola, ut interirent:
5 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath caused thy rejection; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be that they cannot cleanse themselves?
proiectus est vitulus tuus Samaria, iratus est furor meus in eos. usquequo non poterunt emundari?
6 For whom Israel did also that [idol] spring; an artisan made it, and no God is it: so then shall it become broken in splinters— that calf of Samaria.
Quia ex Israel et ipse est: artifex fecit illum, et non est Deus: quoniam in aranearum telas erit vitulus Samariae.
7 For the wind do they sow, and the whirlwind shall they reap: [their seed] bringeth no standing corn; the plant yieldeth no meal; but should it yield it, strangers would swallow it up.
Quia ventum seminabunt, et turbinem metent: culmus stans non est in eo, germen non faciet farinam: quod et si fecerit, alieni comedent eam.
8 Swallowed up is Israel: now are they among the nations as a vessel without any value.
Devoratus est Israel: nunc factus est in nationibus quasi vas immundum.
9 For they are needs gone up to Assyria, they who like a wild ass should dwell alone: Ephraim spendeth lovers' gifts.
Quia ipsi ascenderunt ad Assur, onager solitarius sibi: Ephraim munera dederunt amatoribus.
10 But even though they should spend gifts among the nations, now will I gather them: and they shall be humbled a little through the burden of the king of princes.
Sed et cum mercede conduxerint nationes, nunc congregabo eos: et quiescent paulisper ab onere regis, et principum.
11 Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, the altars have been unto him the means of sinning.
Quia multiplicavit Ephraim altaria ad peccandum: factae sunt ei arae in delictum.
12 I ever wrote down for him the great things of my law; but as a strange thing are they accounted.
Scribam ei multiplices leges meas, quae velut alienae computatae sunt.
13 My sacrificial offerings they slay as common flesh that they may eat it; the Lord accepteth them not in favor: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins; they shall indeed return 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 forgot his Maker, and built palaces; and Judah multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire among his cities, and it shall devour their fine edifices.
Et oblitus est Israel factoris sui, et aedificavit delubra: et Iuda multiplicavit urbes munitas: et mittam ignem in civitates eius, et devorabit aedes illius.
