Osee Propheta 14

1 [Convertere, Israël, ad Dominum Deum tuum, quoniam corruisti in iniquitate tua.

“Turn back, O Israel, to your God YHWH, For you have stumbled by your iniquity.

2 Tollite vobiscum verba, et convertimini ad Dominum; et dicite ei: Omnem aufer iniquitatem, accipe bonum, et reddemus vitulos labiorum nostrorum.

Take words with you, and turn to YHWH, Say to Him, Take away all iniquity, and give good, And we render the fruit of our lips.

3 Assur non salvabit nos: super equum non ascendemus, nec dicemus ultra, Dii nostri opera manuum nostrarum: quia ejus, qui in te est, misereberis pupilli.

Asshur does not save us, we do not ride on a horse, Nor do we say anymore, Our god, to the work of our hands, For in You the fatherless find mercy.

4 Sanabo contritiones eorum; diligam eos spontanee: quia aversus est furor meus ab eis.

I heal their backsliding, I love them freely, For My anger has turned back from him.

5 Ero quasi ros; Israël germinabit sicut lilium, et erumpet radix ejus ut Libani.

I am as dew to Israel, he flourishes as a lily, And he strikes forth his roots as Lebanon.

6 Ibunt rami ejus, et erit quasi oliva gloria ejus, et odor ejus ut Libani.

His shoots go on, And his splendor is as an olive, And he has fragrance as Lebanon.

7 Convertentur sedentes in umbra ejus; vivent tritico, et germinabunt quasi vinea; memoriale ejus sicut vinum Libani.

The dwellers return under his shadow, They revive [as] grain, and flourish as a vine, His memorial [is] as wine of Lebanon.

8 Ephraim, quid mihi ultra idola? Ego exaudiam, et dirigam eum ego ut abietem virentem; ex me fructus tuus inventus est.

O Ephraim, what have I anymore to do with idols? I have answered, and I look after him: I [am] as a green fir-tree, Your fruit is found from Me.

9 Quis sapiens, et intelliget ista? intelligens, et sciet hæc? quia rectæ viæ Domini, et justi ambulabunt in eis; prævaricatores vero corruent in eis.]

Who [is] wise, and understands these? Prudent, and knows them? For upright are the ways of YHWH, And the righteous go on in them, And the transgressors stumble therein!”
