< Hosea 13 >

1 “When Ephraim speaks tremblingly, He has been lifted up in Israel, When he becomes guilty in Ba‘al he dies.
loquente Ephraim horror invasit Israhel et deliquit in Baal et mortuus est
2 And now they sin, And make for themselves a molten image of their silver, By their own understanding—idols, A work of artisans—all of it, Of them they say, who [are] sacrificers among men, The calves let them kiss.
et nunc addiderunt ad peccandum feceruntque sibi conflatile de argento suo quasi similitudinem idolorum factura artificum totum est his ipsi dicunt immolate homines vitulos adorantes
3 Therefore they are as a cloud of the morning, And as dew, rising early, going away, As chaff tossed about out of a floor, And as smoke out of a window.
idcirco erunt quasi nubes matutina et sicut ros matutinus praeteriens sicut pulvis turbine raptus ex area et sicut fumus de fumario
4 And I [am] your God YHWH from the land of Egypt, And you do not know a God besides Me, And a Savior—there is none except Me.
ego autem Dominus Deus tuus ex terra Aegypti et Deum absque me nescies et salvator non est praeter me
5 I have known you in a wilderness, In a land of droughts.
ego cognovi te in deserto in terra solitudinis
6 They are satiated according to their feedings, They have been satiated, And their heart is lifted up, Therefore they have forgotten Me,
iuxta pascua sua et adimpleti sunt et saturati elevaverunt cor suum et obliti sunt mei
7 And I am to them as a lion, I look out as a leopard by the way.
et ero eis quasi leaena sicut pardus in via Assyriorum
8 I meet them as a bereaved bear, And I tear the enclosure of their heart, And I consume them there as a lioness, A beast of the field tears them.
occurram eis quasi ursa raptis catulis et disrumpam interiora iecoris eorum et consumam eos ibi quasi leo bestia agri scindet eos
9 You have destroyed yourself, O Israel, But in Me [is] your help;
perditio tua Israhel tantummodo in me auxilium tuum
10 Where [is] your king now—And he saves you in all your cities? And your judges of whom you said, Give a king and heads to me?
ubi est rex tuus maxime nunc salvet te in omnibus urbibus tuis et iudices tui de quibus dixisti da mihi regem et principes
11 I give to you a king in My anger, And I take away in My wrath.
dabo tibi regem in furore meo et auferam in indignatione mea
12 Bound up [is] the iniquity of Ephraim, Hidden [is] his sin,
conligata est iniquitas Ephraim absconditum peccatum eius
13 Pangs of a travailing woman come to him, He [is] not a wise son, For he does not remain [at] the time for the breaking forth of sons.
dolores parturientis venient ei ipse filius non sapiens nunc enim non stabit in contritione filiorum
14 Will I ransom them from the hand of Sheol? Will I redeem them from death? Where [is] your plague, O death? Where your destruction, O Sheol? Comfort is hid from My eyes. (Sheol h7585)
de manu mortis liberabo eos de morte redimam eos ero mors tua o mors ero morsus tuus inferne consolatio abscondita est ab oculis meis (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he produces fruit among brothers, An east wind comes in, a wind of YHWH, From a wilderness it is coming up, And it dries up his fountain, And his spring becomes dry, It—it spoils a treasure—every desirable vessel.
quia ipse inter fratres dividet adducet urentem ventum Dominus de deserto ascendentem et siccabit venas eius et desolabit fontem eius et ipse diripiet thesaurum omnis vasis desiderabilis
16 Samaria becomes desolate, Because she has been rebellious against her God, They fall by sword, Their sucklings are dashed in pieces, And its pregnant ones are ripped up!”
pereat Samaria quoniam ad amaritudinem concitavit Dominum suum in gladio pereat parvuli eorum elidantur et fetae eius discindantur
