Hosea 11
1 As the morewtid passith, the king of Israel schal passe forth. For Israel was a child, and Y louyde hym; and fro Egipt Y clepide my sone.
Sicut mane transiit, pertransiit rex Israël. Quia puer Israël, et dilexi eum; et ex Ægypto vocavi filium meum.
2 Thei clepiden hem, so thei yeden awei fro the face of hem. Thei offriden to Baalym, and maden sacrifice to symylacris.
Vocaverunt eos, sic abierunt a facie eorum; Baalim immolabant, et simulacris sacrificabant.
3 And Y as a nursche of Effraym bare hem in myn armes, and thei wisten not, that Y kepte hem.
Et ego quasi nutritius Ephraim: portabam eos in brachiis meis, et nescierunt quod curarem eos.
4 Y schal drawe hem in the ropis of Adam, in the boondis of charite. And Y schal be to hem as he that enhaunsith the yok on the chekis of hem; and Y bowide doun to hym, that he schulde ete.
In funiculis Adam traham eos, in vinculis caritatis; et ero eis quasi exaltans jugum super maxillas eorum, et declinavi ad eum ut vesceretur.
5 He schal not turne ayen in to the lond of Egipt. And Assur, he schal be kyng of hym, for thei nolden turne.
Non revertetur in terram Ægypti, et Assur ipse rex ejus, quoniam noluerunt converti.
6 A swerd bigan in the citees therof, and it schal waaste the chosun men therof, and schal eete the heedis of hem.
Cœpit gladius in civitatibus ejus, et consumet electos ejus, et comedet capita eorum.
7 And my puple schal hange, at my comynge ayen. But a yok schal be put to hem togidere, that schal not be takun awei.
Et populus meus pendebit ad reditum meum; jugum autem imponetur eis simul, quod non auferetur.
8 Hou schal Y yyue thee, Effraym? schal Y defende thee, Israel? hou schal Y yyue thee? As Adama Y schal sette thee; as Seboym. Myn herte is turned in me; my repentaunce is disturblid togidere.
Quomodo dabo te, Ephraim? protegam te, Israël? Quomodo dabo te sicut Adama, ponam te ut Seboim? Conversum est in me cor meum, pariter conturbata est pœnitudo mea.
9 Y schal not do the strong veniaunce of my wraththe. Y schal not turne, to leese Effraym; for Y am God, and not man. Y am hooli in the myddis of thee, and Y schal not entre in to a citee.
Non faciam furorem iræ meæ; non convertar ut disperdam Ephraim, quoniam Deus ego, et non homo; in medio tui sanctus, et non ingrediar civitatem.
10 Thei schulen go after the Lord. He shal rore as a lioun, for he shal rore, and the sones of the see schulen drede.
Post Dominum ambulabunt; quasi leo rugiet, quia ipse rugiet, et formidabunt filii maris.
11 And thei schulen fle awei as a brid fro Egipt, and as a culuer fro the lond of Assiriens. And Y schal sette hem in her housis, seith the Lord.
Et avolabunt quasi avis ex Ægypto, et quasi columba de terra Assyriorum: et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.
12 Effraym cumpasside me in denying, the hous of Israel in gile. But Judas a witnesse yede doun with God, and with feithful seyntis.
Circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim, et in dolo domus Israël; Judas autem testis descendit cum Deo, et cum sanctis fidelis.
