< Hosea 8 >
1 "Put the trumpet to your lips. Something like an eagle is over Jehovah's house, because they have broken my covenant, and rebelled against my law.
In gutture tuo sit tuba quasi aquila super domum Domini: pro eo quod transgressi sunt fœdus meum, et legem meam prævaricati sunt.
2 They cry to me, 'My God, we Israel acknowledge you.'
Me invocabunt: Deus meus cognovimus te Israel.
3 Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy will pursue him.
Proiecit Israel bonum, inimicus persequetur eum.
4 They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made princes, and I did not approve. Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols, that they may be cut off.
Ipsi regnaverunt, et non ex me: principes exstiterunt, et non cognovi: argentum suum, et aurum suum fecerunt sibi idola, ut interirent:
5 Let Samaria throw out his calf idol. My anger burns against them. How long will it be until they are capable of purity?
proiectus est vitulus tuus Samaria, iratus est furor meus in eos. Usquequo non poterunt emundari?
6 For this is even from Israel. The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
Quia ex Israel et ipse est: artifex fecit illum, et non est Deus: quoniam in aranearum telas erit vitulus Samariæ.
7 For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will 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 Israel is swallowed up. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.
Devoratus est Israel: nunc factus est in nationibus quasi vas immundum.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.
Quia ipsi ascenderunt ad Assur, onager solitarius sibi: Ephraim munera dederunt amatoribus.
10 But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.
Sed et cum mercede conduxerint nationes, nunc congregabo eos: et quiescent paulisper ab onere regis, et principum.
11 Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning.
Quia multiplicavit Ephraim altaria ad peccandum: factæ sunt ei aræ in delictum.
12 I wrote for him the many things of my law; but they were regarded as a strange thing.
Scribam ei multiplices leges meas, quæ velut alienæ computatæ sunt.
13 As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; But Jehovah doesn't accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt, and will eat unclean things in Assyria.
Hostias offerent, immolabunt carnes, et comedent, et Dominus non suscipiet eas: nunc recordabitur iniquitatis eorum, et visitabit peccata eorum: ipsi in Ægyptum convertentur.
14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses."
Et oblitus est Israel Factoris sui, et ædificavit delubra: et Iudas multiplicavit urbes munitas: et mittam ignem in civitates eius, et devorabit ædes illius.
