Hosea 10
1 Israel was a vyne ful of bowis, fruyt was maad euene to hym; bi the multitude of his fruyt he multipliede auteris, bi the plente of his lond he was plenteuouse.
Vitis frondosa Israel, fructus adæquatus est ei: secundum multitudinem fructus sui multiplicavit altaria, iuxta ubertatem terræ suæ exuberavit simulachris.
2 In simylacris the herte of hem is departid, now thei schulen perische. He schal breke the simylacris of hem, he schal robbe the auteris of hem.
Divisum est cor eorum, nunc interibunt: ipse confringet simulachra eorum, depopulabitur aras eorum.
3 For thanne thei schulen seie, A kyng is not to vs, for we dreden not the Lord. And what schal a kyng do to vs?
Quia nunc dicent: Non est rex nobis: non enim timemus Dominum: et rex quid faciet nobis?
4 Speke ye wordis of vnprofitable visioun, and ye schulen smyte boond of pees with leesyng; and doom as bittirnesse schal burioune on the forewis of the feeld.
Loquimini verba visionis inutilis, et ferietis fœdus: et germinabit quasi amaritudo iudicium super sulcos agri.
5 The dwelleris of Samarie worschipiden the kien of Bethauen. For the puple therof mourenyde on that calf, and the keperis of the hous therof; thei maden ful out ioye on it in the glorie therof, for it passide fro that puple.
Vaccas Bethaven coluerunt habitatores Samariæ: quia luxit super eum populus eius, et æditui eius super eum exultaverunt in gloria eius, quia migravit ab eo.
6 For also it was borun to Assur, a yifte to the king veniere. Confusioun schal take Effraym, and Israel schal be schent in his wille.
Siquidem et ipse in Assur delatus est, munus regi Ultori: confusio Ephraim capiet, et confundetur Israel in voluntate sua.
7 Samarie made his kyng to passe, as froth on the face of water. And the hiy thingis of idol, the synne of Israel, schulen be lost.
Transire fecit Samaria regem suum quasi spumam super faciem aquæ.
8 A cloote and a brere schal stie on the auters of hem. And thei schulen seie to mounteyns, Hile ye vs, and to litle hillis, Falle ye doun on vs.
Et disperdentur excelsa idoli, peccatum Israel: lappa, et tribulus ascendet super aras eorum: et dicent montibus: Operite nos; et collibus: Cadite super nos.
9 Fro the daies of Gabaa Israel synnede; there thei stoden. Batel schal not take hem in Gabaa,
Ex diebus Gabaa, peccavit Israel, ibi steterunt: non comprehendet eos in Gabaa prælium super filios iniquitatis.
10 on the sones of wickidnesse. Bi my desir Y schal chastise hem; puplis schulen be gaderid togidere on hem, whanne thei schulen be chastisid for her twei wickidnessis.
Iuxta desiderium meum corripiam eos: congregabuntur super eos populi, cum corripientur propter duas iniquitates suas.
11 Effraym is a cow calf, tauyt for to loue threischyng; and Y yede on the fairenesse of the necke therof. Y schal stie on Effraym. Judas schal ere, and Jacob schal breke forewis to hym silf.
Ephraim vitula docta diligere trituram, et ego transivi super pulchritudinem colli eius: ascendam super Ephraim, arabit Iudas, confringet sibi sulcos Iacob.
12 Sowe ye to you riytfulnesse in treuthe, and repe ye in the mouthe of merci, and make ye newe to you a feld newli brouyte to tilthe. Forsothe tyme is to seke the Lord, whanne he cometh, that schal teche you riytfulnesse.
Seminate vobis in iustitia, et metite in ore misericordiæ, innovate vobis novale: tempus autem requirendi Dominum, cum venerit qui docebit vos iustitiam.
13 Ye han erid vnfeithfulnesse, ye han rope wickidnesse, ye han ete the corn of leesyng. For thou tristydist in thi weles, and in the multitude of thi stronge men.
Arastis impietatem, iniquitatem messuistis, comedistis frugem mendacii: quia confisus es in viis tuis, in multitudine fortium tuorum.
14 Noise schal rise in thi puple, and alle thi stronge holdis schulen be distried; as Salmana was distried of the hous of hym, that took veniaunce on Baal; in the dai of batel, whanne the modir was hurlid doun on the sones.
Consurget tumultus in populo tuo: et omnes munitiones tuæ vastabuntur, sicut vastatus est Salmana a domo eius qui iudicavit Baal in die prælii, matre super filios allisa.
15 So Bethel dide to you, for the face of malice of youre wickidnessis.
Sic fecit vobis Bethel, a facie malitiæ nequitiarum vestrarum.
