Hosea 14

1 “Turn back, O Israel, to your God YHWH, For you have stumbled by your iniquity.

Convertere Israel ad Dominum Deum tuum: quoniam corruisti in iniquitate tua.

2 Take words with you, and turn to YHWH, Say to Him, Take away all iniquity, and give good, And we render the fruit of our lips.

Tollite vobiscum verba, et convertimini ad Dominum: et dicite ei: Omnem aufer iniquitatem, accipe bonum: et reddemus vitulos labiorum nostrorum.

3 Asshur does not save us, we do not ride on a horse, Nor do we say anymore, Our god, to the work of our hands, For in You the fatherless find mercy.

Assur non salvabit nos, super equum non ascendemus, nec dicemus ultra: Dii nostri opera manuum nostrarum: quia eius, qui in te est, misereberis pupilli.

4 I heal their backsliding, I love them freely, For My anger has turned back from him.

Sanabo contritiones eorum, diligam eos spontanee: quia aversus est furor meus ab eis.

5 I am as dew to Israel, he flourishes as a lily, And he strikes forth his roots as Lebanon.

Ero quasi ros, Israel germinabit sicut lilium, et erumpet radix eius ut Libani.

6 His shoots go on, And his splendor is as an olive, And he has fragrance as Lebanon.

Ibunt rami eius, et erit quasi oliva gloria eius: et odor eius ut Libani.

7 The dwellers return under his shadow, They revive [as] grain, and flourish as a vine, His memorial [is] as wine of Lebanon.

Convertentur sedentes in umbra eius: vivent tritico, et germinabunt quasi vinea: memoriale eius sicut vinum Libani.

8 O Ephraim, what have I anymore to do with idols? I have answered, and I look after him: I [am] as a green fir-tree, Your fruit is found from Me.

Ephraim quid mihi ultra idola? ego exaudiam, et dirigam eum ego ut abietem virentem: ex me fructus tuus inventus est.

9 Who [is] wise, and understands these? Prudent, and knows them? For upright are the ways of YHWH, And the righteous go on in them, And the transgressors stumble therein!”

Quis sapiens, et intelliget ista? intelligens, et sciet hæc? quia rectæ viæ Domini, et iusti ambulabunt in eis: prævaricatores vero corruent in eis.
