Hosea 13
1 Once when Ephraim spake, there was trembling; he was exalted in Israel; But he offended through Baal, and died.
Loquente Ephraim, horror invasit Israel, et deliquit in Baal, et mortuus est.
2 And now they sin more and more, And have made to themselves molten images; Of their silver by their skill have they made idols; All of it is the work of artificers. They say concerning them, Whoever will sacrifice, let him kiss the calves!
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 shall they be as the morning cloud, And as the early dew, which passeth away; As chaff driven with a whirlwind from the thrashing-floor, And as smoke from the chimney.
Idcirco erunt quasi nubes matutina, et sicut ros matutinus praeteriens, sicut pulvis turbine raptus ex area, et sicut fumus de fumario.
4 Yet I, Jehovah, have been thy God from the land of Egypt, And thou hast known no God but me; Yea, there was no saviour besides me.
Ego autem Dominus Deus tuus ex Terra Aegypti: et Deum absque me nescies, et salvator non est praeter me.
5 I cared for thee in the desert, In the land of great drought.
Ego cognovi te in deserto, in terra solitudinis.
6 As they were fed, so they were filled; They were filled, and their heart was lifted up; Therefore they forgot me.
Iuxta pascua sua adimpleti sunt, et saturati sunt: levaverunt cor suum, et obliti sunt mei.
7 Therefore have I become to them as a lion; As a leopard I watch for them in the way;
Et ego ero eis quasi leaena, sicut pardus in via Assyriorum.
8 I will meet them as a bear bereaved of her whelps, And I will rend the caul of their heart, And there will I devour them as a lioness; The wild beast shall tear them.
Occurram eis quasi ursa raptis catulis, et dirumpam interiora iecoris eorum: et consumam eos ibi quasi leo, bestia agri scindet eos.
9 It hath been thy destruction, O Israel, That against me, against thy help, thou hast rebelled!
Perditio tu Israel: tantummodo in me auxilium tuum.
10 Where is now thy king? Let him save thee in all thy cities! And where thy judges, In regard to whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes!
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 gave thee a king in mine anger, And I have taken him away in my wrath;
Dabo tibi regem in furore meo, et auferam in indignatione mea.
12 the iniquity of Ephraim is treasured up; His guilt is laid up in store.
Colligata est iniquitas Ephraim, absconditum peccatum eius.
13 The pangs of a travailing woman shall come upon him; He is an unwise son, For else would he not tarry long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
Dolores parturientis venient ei: ipse filius non sapiens: nunc enim non stabit in contritione filiorum.
14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death; O death, where is thy plague? O grave, where is thy destruction? Repentance is hidden from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
De manu mortis liberabo eos, de morte redimam eos: ero mors tua o mors, morsus tuus ero inferne: consolatio abscondita est ab oculis meis. (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he be fruitful among his brethren, An east wind shall come, A wind of Jehovah shall come up from the desert, And his spring shall become dry, And his fountain shall be dried up, And the treasure of all his pleasant vessels shall be spoiled.
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 shall suffer for her guilt, For she hath rebelled against her God. They shall fall by the sword; Their infants shall be dashed in pieces, And their women with child shall be ripped up.
Pereat Samaria, quoniam ad amaritudinem concitavit Deum suum: in gladio pereant, parvuli eorum elidantur, et foetae eius discindantur.
