Hosea 9
1 Do not rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations; for you were unfaithful to your God. You love the wages of a prostitute at every grain threshing floor.
Noli laetari Israel, noli exultare sicut populi: quia fornicatus es a Deo tuo, dilexisti mercedem super omnes areas tritici.
2 The threshing floor and the winepress won't feed them, and the new wine will fail her.
Area et torcular non pascet eos, et vinum mentietur eis.
3 They won't dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and they will eat unclean food in Assyria.
Non habitabunt in terra Domini: reversus est Ephraim in Aegyptum, et in Assyriis pollutum comedit.
4 They won't pour out wine offerings to the LORD, neither will they be pleasing to him. Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat of it will be polluted; for their bread will be for their appetite. It will not come into the house of the LORD.
Non libabunt Domino vinum, et non placebunt ei: sacrificia eorum quasi panis lugentium. omnes, qui comedent eum, contaminabuntur: quia panis eorum animae ipsorum, non intrabit in domum Domini.
5 What will you do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
Quid facietis in die sollemni, in die festivitatis Domini?
6 For, look, they have gone away from destruction. Egypt will gather them up. Memphis will bury them. Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver. Thorns will be in their tents.
Ecce enim profecti sunt a vastitate: Aegyptus congregabit eos, Memphis sepeliet eos: desiderabile argentum eorum urtica hereditabit, lappa in tabernaculis eorum.
7 The days of visitation have come. The days of reckoning have come. Let Israel know. The prophet is a fool, and the man of the spirit is mad, because of the abundance of your sins, and because your hostility is great.
Venerunt dies visitationis, venerunt dies retributionis: scitote Israel stultum prophetam, insanum virum spiritualem, propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae, et multitudinem amentiae.
8 A prophet watches over Ephraim with my God. A fowler's snare is on all of his paths, and hostility in the house of his God.
Speculator Ephraim cum Deo meo: propheta laqueus ruinae factus est super omnes vias eius, insania in domo Dei eius.
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity. He will punish them for their sins.
Profunde peccaverunt, sicut in diebus Gabaa: recordabitur iniquitatis eorum, et visitabit peccata eorum.
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season; but they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.
Quasi uvas in deserto inveni Israel: quasi prima poma ficulneae in cacumine eius vidi patres eorum: ipsi autem intraverunt ad Beelphegor, et abalienati sunt in confusionem, et facti sunt abominabiles sicut ea, quae dilexerunt.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird. There will be no birth, none with child, and no conception.
Ephraim quasi avis avolavit, gloria eorum a partu, et ab utero, et a conceptu.
12 Though they bring up their children, yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Indeed, woe also to them when I depart from them.
Quod et si enutrierint filios suos, absque liberis eos faciam in hominibus: sed et vae eis cum recessero ab eis.
13 I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.
Ephraim, ut vidi, Tyrus erat fundata in pulchritudine: et Ephraim educet ad interfectorem filios suos.
14 Give them—LORD what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
Da eis Domine. Quid dabis eis? Da eis vulvam sine liberis, et ubera arentia.
15 "All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more. All their rulers are rebels.
Omnes nequitiae eorum in Galgal, quia ibi exosos habui eos: propter malitiam adinventionum eorum de domo mea eiiciam eos: non addam ut diligam eos, omnes principes eorum recedentes.
16 Ephraim is struck. Their root has dried up. They will bear no fruit. Even though they bring forth, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb."
Percussus est Ephraim, radix eorum exiccata est: fructum nequaquam facient. Quod et si genuerint, interficiam amantissima uteri eorum.
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not listen to him; and they will be wanderers among the nations.
Abiiciet eos Deus meus, quia non audierunt eum: et erunt vagi in nationibus.
