Osee Propheta 13
1 Loquente Ephraim, horror invasit Israel, et deliquit in Baal, et mortuus est.
When Ephraim spake, there was trembling: hee exalted him selfe in Israel, but he hath sinned in Baal, and is dead.
2 Et nunc addiderunt ad peccandum: feceruntque sibi conflatile de argento suo quasi similitudinem idolorum, factura artificum totum est: his ipsi dicunt: Immolate homines vitulos adorantes.
And nowe they sinne more and more, and haue made them molten images of their siluer, and idoles according to their owne vnderstanding: they were all the woorke of the craftesmen: they say one to another whiles they sacrifice a man, Let them kisse the calues.
3 Idcirco erunt quasi nubes matutina, et sicut ros matutinus præteriens, sicut pulvis turbine raptus ex area, et sicut fumus de fumario.
Therefore they shall bee as the morning cloude, and as the morning dewe that passeth away, as the chaffe that is driuen with a whirlewind out of the floore, and as the smoke that goeth out of the chimney.
4 Ego autem Dominus Deus tuus ex Terra Ægypti: et Deum absque me nescies, et Salvator non est præter me.
Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt knowe no God but me: for there is no Sauiour beside me.
5 Ego cognovi te in deserto, in terra solitudinis.
I did knowe thee in the wildernesse, in the land of drought.
6 Iuxta pascua sua adimpleti sunt, et saturati sunt: et levaverunt cor suum, et obliti sunt mei.
As in their pastures, so were they filled: they were filled, and their heart was exalted: therefore haue they forgotten me.
7 Et ego ero eis quasi leæna, sicut pardus in via Assyriorum.
And I wil be vnto them as a very lyon, and as a leopard in the way of Asshur.
8 Occurram eis quasi ursa raptis catulis, et dirumpam interiora iecoris eorum: et consumam eos ibi quasi leo, bestia agri scindet eos.
I will meete them, as a beare that is robbed of her whelpes, and I will breake the kall of their heart, and there will I deuoure them like a lion: the wilde beast shall teare them.
9 Perditio tua Israel: tantummodo in me auxilium tuum.
O Israel, one hath destroyed thee, but in me is thine helpe.
10 Ubi est rex tuus? maxime nunc salvet te in omnibus urbibus tuis: et iudices tui, de quibus dixisti: Da mihi regem, et principes.
I am: where is thy King, that shoulde help thee in al thy cities? and thy iudges, of whom thou saidest, Giue me a King, and princes?
11 Dabo tibi regem in furore meo, et auferam in indignatione mea.
I gaue thee a King in mine anger, and I tooke him away in my wrath.
12 Colligata est iniquitas Ephraim, absconditum peccatum eius.
The iniquitie of Ephraim is bound vp: his sinne is hid.
13 Dolores parturientis venient ei: ipse filius non sapiens: nunc enim non stabit in contritione filiorum.
The sorowes of a trauailing woman shall come vpon him: he is an vnwise sonne, els would he not stande still at the time, euen at the breaking forth of the children.
14 De manu mortis liberabo eos, de morte redimam eos: ero mors tua o mors, morsus tuus ero inferne: consolatio abscondita est ab oculis meis. (Sheol h7585)
I wil redeeme them from the power of the graue: I will deliuer them from death: O death, I wil be thy death: O graue, I will be thy destruction: repentance is hid from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
15 Quia ipse inter fratres dividet: adducet urentem ventum Dominus de deserto ascendentem: et siccabit venas eius, et desolabit fontem eius, et ipse diripiet thesaurum omnis vasis desiderabilis.
Though he grewe vp among his brethren, an East winde shall come, euen the winde of the Lord shall come vp from the wildernesse, and drie vp his veine, and his fountaine shalbe dryed vp: he shall spoyle the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
16 Pereat Samaria, quoniam ad amaritudinem concitavit Deum suum: in gladio pereant, parvuli eorum elidantur, et fœtæ eius discindantur.
Samaria shalbe desolate: for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sworde: their infants shalbe dashed in pieces, and their women with childe shalbe ript.
