Osee Propheta 1

1 Verbum Domini, quod factum est ad Osee filium Beeri, in diebus Oziæ, Ioathan, Achaz, Ezechiæ regum Iuda, et in diebus Ieroboam filii Ioas regis Israel.

The word of the Lord, that came to Osee the son of Beeri, in the days of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias kings of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel.

2 Principium loquendi Domino in Osee: et dixit Dominus ad Osee: Vade, sume tibi uxorem fornicationum, et fac tibi filios fornicationum: quia fornicans fornicabitur terra a Domino.

The beginning of the Lord’s speaking by Osse: and the Lord said to Osee: Go, take thee a wife of fornications, and have of her children of fornications: for the land by fornication shall depart from the Lord.

3 Et abiit, et accepit Gomer filiam Debelaim: et concepit, et peperit ei filium.

So he went, and took Gomer the daughter of Debelaim: and she conceived and bore him a son.

4 Et dixit Dominus ad eum: Voca nomen eius Iezrahel: quoniam adhuc modicum, et visitabo sanguinem Iezrahel super domum Iehu, et quiescere faciam regnum domus Israel.

And the Lord said to him: Call his name Jezrahel: for yet a little while, and I will visit the blood of Jezrahel upon the house of Jehu, and I will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

5 Et in illa die conteram arcum Israel in valle Iezrahel.

And in that day I will break in pieces the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezrahel.

6 Et concepit adhuc, et peperit filiam. Et dixit ei: Voca nomen eius Absque Misericordia: quia non addam ultra misereri domui Israel, sed oblivione obliviscar eorum.

And she conceived again, and bore a daughter, and he said to him: Call her name, Without mercy: for I will not add any more to have mercy on the house of Israel, but I will utterly forget them.

7 Et domui Iuda miserebor, et salvabo eos in Domino Deo suo: et non salvabo eos in arcu, et gladio, et in bello, et in equis, et in equitibus.

And I will have mercy on the house of Juda, and I will save them by the Lord their God: and I will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.

8 Et ablactavit eam, quæ erat Absque Misericordia. Et concepit, et peperit filium.

And she weaned her that was called Without mercy. And she conceived, and bore a son.

9 Et dixit: Voca nomen eius: Non Populus Meus: quia vos non populus meus, et ego non ero vester.

And he said: Call his name, Not my people: for you are not my people, and I will not be yours.

10 Et erit numerus filiorum Israel quasi arena maris, quæ sine mensura est, et non numerabitur. Et erit in loco ubi dicetur eis: Non populus meus vos: dicetur eis: Filii Dei viventis.

And the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, that is without measure, and shall not be numbered. And it shall be in the place where it shall be said to them: You are not my people: it shall be said to them: Ye are the sons of the living God.

11 Et congregabuntur filii Iuda, et filii Israel pariter: et ponent sibimet caput unum, et ascendent de terra: quia magnus dies Iezrahel.

And the children of Juda, and the children of Israel shall be gathered together: and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall come up out of the land: for great is the day of Jezrahel.
