Osee Propheta 11
1 [Sicut mane transiit, pertransiit rex Israël. Quia puer Israël, et dilexi eum; et ex Ægypto vocavi filium meum.
WHEN Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
2 Vocaverunt eos, sic abierunt a facie eorum; Baalim immolabant, et simulacris sacrificabant.
As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
3 Et ego quasi nutritius Ephraim: portabam eos in brachiis meis, et nescierunt quod curarem eos.
I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
4 In funiculis Adam traham eos, in vinculis caritatis; et ero eis quasi exaltans jugum super maxillas eorum, et declinavi ad eum ut vesceretur.
I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.
5 Non revertetur in terram Ægypti, et Assur ipse rex ejus, quoniam noluerunt converti.
He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
6 Cœpit gladius in civitatibus ejus, et consumet electos ejus, et comedet capita eorum.
And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
7 Et populus meus pendebit ad reditum meum; jugum autem imponetur eis simul, quod non auferetur.
And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
8 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.
How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
9 Non faciam furorem iræ meæ; non convertar ut disperdam Ephraim, quoniam Deus ego, et non homo; in medio tui sanctus, et non ingrediar civitatem.
I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
10 Post Dominum ambulabunt; quasi leo rugiet, quia ipse rugiet, et formidabunt filii maris.
They shall walk after the Lord: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
11 Et avolabunt quasi avis ex Ægypto, et quasi columba de terra Assyriorum: et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.]
They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the Lord.
12 [Circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim, et in dolo domus Israël; Judas autem testis descendit cum Deo, et cum sanctis fidelis.]
Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
