Osee Propheta 5
1 [Audite hoc, sacerdotes, et attendite, domus Israël, et domus regis, auscultate: quia vobis judicium est, quoniam laqueus facti estis speculationi, et rete expansum super Thabor.
“Hear this, O priests! Take heed, O house of Israel! Give ear, O royal house! For this judgment is against you because you have been a snare at Mizpah, a net spread out on Tabor.
2 Et victimas declinastis in profundum; et ego eruditor omnium eorum.
The rebels are deep in slaughter; but I will chastise them all.
3 Ego scio Ephraim, et Israël non est absconditus a me: quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim; contaminatus est Israël.
I know all about Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me. For now, O Ephraim, you have turned to prostitution; Israel is defiled.
4 Non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Deum suum, quia spiritus fornicationum in medio eorum, et Dominum non cognoverunt.
Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God, for a spirit of prostitution is within them, and they do not know the LORD.
5 Et respondebit arrogantia Israël in facie ejus, et Israël et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua: ruet etiam Judas cum eis.
Israel’s arrogance testifies against them; Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; even Judah stumbles with them.
6 In gregibus suis et in armentis suis vadent ad quærendum Dominum, et non invenient: ablatus est ab eis.
They go with their flocks and herds to seek the LORD, but they do not find Him; He has withdrawn Himself from them.
7 In Dominum prævaricati sunt, quia filios alienos genuerunt: nunc devorabit eos mensis, cum partibus suis.
They have been unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the New Moon will devour them along with their land.
8 Clangite buccina in Gabaa, tuba in Rama; ululate in Bethaven, post tergum tuum, Benjamin.
Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah; raise the battle cry in Beth-aven: Lead on, O Benjamin!
9 Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis; in tribubus Israël ostendi fidem.
Ephraim will be laid waste on the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel I proclaim what is certain.
10 Facti sunt principes Juda quasi assumentes terminum; super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam.
The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary stones; I will pour out My fury upon them like water.
11 Calumniam patiens est Ephraim, fractus judicio, quoniam cœpit abire post sordes.
Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, for he is determined to follow worthless idols.
12 Et ego quasi tinea Ephraim, et quasi putredo domui Juda.
So I am like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.
13 Et vidit Ephraim languorem suum, et Juda vinculum suum; et abiit Ephraim ad Assur, et misit ad regem ultorem: et ipse non poterit sanare vos, nec solvere poterit a vobis vinculum.
When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah his wound, then Ephraim turned to Assyria and sent to the great king. But he cannot cure you or heal your wound.
14 Quoniam ego quasi leæna Ephraim, et quasi catulus leonis domui Juda. Ego, ego capiam, et vadam; tollam, et non est qui eruat.
For I am like a lion to Ephraim and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear them to pieces and then go away. I will carry them off where no one can rescue them.
15 Vadens revertar ad locum meum, donec deficiatis, et quæratis faciem meam.]
Then I will return to My place until they admit their guilt and seek My face; in their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
