Hosea 10
1 Israel is a luxuriant vine, which putteth forth his fruit: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath multiplied his altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly pillars.
Vitis frondosa Israel, fructus adaequatus est ei: secundum multitudinem fructus sui multiplicavit altaria, iuxta ubertatem terrae suae exuberavit simulachris.
2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found guilty: he shall smite their altars, he shall spoil their pillars.
Divisum est cor eorum, nunc interibunt: ipse confringet simulachra eorum, depopulabitur aras eorum.
3 Surely now shall they say, We have no king: for we fear not the LORD; and the king, what can he do for us?
Quia nunc dicent: Non est rex nobis: non enim timemus Dominum: et rex quid faciet nobis?
4 They speak [vain] words, swearing falsely in making covenants: therefore judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
Loquimini verba visionis inutilis, et ferietis foedus: et germinabit quasi amaritudo iudicium super sulcos agri.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall be in terror for the calves of Beth-aven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced over it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
Vaccas Bethaven coluerunt habitatores Samariae: quia luxit super eum populus eius, et aeditui eius super eum exultaverunt in gloria eius, quia migravit ab eo.
6 It also shall be carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
Siquidem et ipse in Assur delatus est, munus regi Ultori: confusio Ephraim capiet, et confundetur Israel in voluntate sua.
7 [As for] Samaria, her king is cut off, as foam upon the water.
Transire fecit Samaria regem suum quasi spumam super faciem aquae.
8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
Et disperdentur excelsa idoli, peccatum Israel: lappa, et tribulus ascendet super aras eorum: et dicent montibus: Operite nos; et collibus: Cadite super nos.
9 O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood; that the battle against the children of iniquity should not overtake them in Gibeah.
Ex diebus Gabaa, peccavit Israel, ibi steterunt: non comprehendet eos in Gabaa praelium super filios iniquitatis.
10 When it is my desire, I will chastise them; and the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they are bound to their two transgressions.
Iuxta desiderium meum corripiam eos: congregabuntur super eos populi, cum corripientur propter duas iniquitates suas.
11 And Ephraim is an heifer that is taught, that loveth to tread out [the corn]; but I have passed over upon her fair neck: I will set a rider on Ephraim; Judah shall plow, Jacob shall break his clods.
Ephraim vitula docta diligere trituram, et ego transivi super pulchritudinem colli eius: ascendam super Ephraim, arabit Iuda, confringet sibi sulcos Iacob.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
Seminate vobis in iustitia, et metite in ore misericordiae, innovate vobis novale: tempus autem requirendi Dominum, cum venerit qui docebit vos iustitiam.
13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: for thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
Arastis impietatem, iniquitatem messuistis, comedistis frugem mendacii: quia confisus es in viis tuis, in multitudine fortium tuorum.
14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
Consurget tumultus in populo tuo: et omnes munitiones tuae vastabuntur, sicut vastatus est Salmana a domo eius qui iudicavit Baal in die praelii, matre super filios allisa.
15 So shall Beth-el do unto you because of your great wickedness: at daybreak shall the king of Israel be utterly cut off.
Sic fecit vobis Bethel, a facie malitiae nequitiarum vestrarum.
