Osee Propheta 12
1 Ephraim pascit ventum, et sequitur æstum: tota die mendacium, et vastitatem multiplicat: et fœdus cum Assyriis iniit, et oleum in Ægyptum ferebat.
Ephraim feeds on wind, and follows after the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and desolation. And they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.
2 Iudicium ergo Domini cum Iuda, et visitatio super Iacob: iuxta vias eius, et iuxta adinventiones eius reddet ei.
Jehovah has also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways. He will recompense him according to his doings.
3 In utero supplantavit fratrem suum: et in fortitudine sua directus est cum angelo.
In the womb he took his brother by the heel, and in his manhood he had strength with God.
4 Et invaluit ad angelum, et confortatus est: flevit, et rogavit eum: in Bethel invenit eum, et ibi locutus est nobiscum.
Yea, he had strength over the agent, and prevailed, as he wept, and made supplication to him. He found him at Bethel, and there he spoke with us.
5 Et Dominus Deus exercituum, Dominus memoriale eius.
Even Jehovah, the God of hosts, Jehovah is his memorial.
6 Et tu ad Deum tuum converteris: misericordiam et iudicium custodi, et spera in Deo tuo semper.
Therefore turn thou to thy God. Keep kindness and justice, and wait for thy God continually.
7 Chanaan, in manu eius statera dolosa, calumniam dilexit.
He is a Canaanite. The balances of deceit are in his hand. He loves to oppress.
8 Et dixit Ephraim: Verumtamen dives effectus sum, inveni idolum mihi: omnes labores mei non invenient mihi iniquitatem, quam peccavi.
And Ephraim said, Surely I have become rich. I have found wealth for myself. In all my labors they shall find no iniquity in me that is sin.
9 Et ego Dominus Deus tuus ex Terra Ægypti, adhuc sedere te faciam in tabernaculis, sicut in diebus festivitatis.
But I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt. I will yet again make thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast.
10 Et locutus sum super prophetas, et ego visionem multiplicavi, et in manu prophetarum assimilatus sum.
I have also spoken to the prophets, and I have multiplied visions. And by the ministry of the prophets I have used similitudes.
11 Si Galaad idolum, ergo frustra erant in Galgal bobus immolantes: nam et altaria eorum quasi acervi super sulcos agri:
Is Gilead iniquity? They are altogether false. In Gilgal they sacrifice bullocks. Yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the field.
12 Fugit Iacob in regionem Syriæ, et servivit Israel in uxorem, et in uxorem servavit.
And Jacob fled into the field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
13 In propheta autem eduxit Dominus Israel de Ægypto: et in propheta servatus est.
And by a prophet Jehovah brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved.
14 Ad iracundiam me provocavit Ephraim in amaritudinibus suis, et sanguis eius super eum veniet, et opprobrium eius restituet ei Dominus suus.
Ephraim has provoked to anger most bitterly. Therefore his blood shall be left upon him, and his reproach his Lord shall return to him.
