Osee Propheta 5
1 Audite hoc sacerdotes, et attendite domus Israel, et domus regis auscultate: quia vobis iudicium est, quoniam laqueus facti estis speculationi, et rete expansum super Thabor.
Hear these things, you priests; and attend, O house of Israel; and listen, O house of the king; for the controversy is with you, because you have been a snare in Scopia, and as a net spread on Itabyrium,
2 Et victimas declinastis in profundum: et ego eruditor omnium eorum.
which they that hunt the prey have fixed: but I will correct you.
3 Ego scio Ephraim, et Israel non est absconditus a me: quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim, contaminatus est Israel.
I know Ephraim, and Israel is not far from me: for now Ephraim has gone grievously a-whoring, Israel is defiled.
4 Non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Deum suum: quia spiritus fornicationum in medio eorum, et Dominum non cognoverunt.
They have not framed their counsels to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in them, and they have not known the Lord.
5 Et respondebit arrogantia Israel in facie eius: et Israel, et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua, ruet etiam Iudas cum eis.
And the pride of Israel shall be brought low before his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall in their iniquities; and Judas also shall fall with them.
6 In gregibus suis, et in armentis suis vadent ad quærendum Dominum, et non invenient: ablatus est ab eis.
They shall go with sheep and calves diligently to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him, for he has withdrawn himself from them.
7 In Dominum prævaricati sunt, quia filios alienos genuerunt: nunc devorabit eos mensis cum partibus suis.
For they have forsaken the Lord; for strange children have been born to them: now shall the cankerworm devour them and their heritages.
8 Clangite buccina in Gabaa, tuba in Rama: ululate in Bethaven, post tergum tuum Beniamin.
Blow you the trumpet on the hills, sound aloud on the heights: proclaim in the house of On, Benjamin is amazed.
9 Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis: in tribubus Israel ostendi fidem.
Ephraim has come to nothing in the days of reproof: in the tribes of Israel I have shown faithful [dealings].
10 Facti sunt principes Iuda quasi assumentes terminum: super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam.
The princes of Juda became as they that removed the bounds: I will pour out upon them my fury as water.
11 Calumniam patiens est Ephraim, fractus iudicio: quoniam cœpit abire post sordes.
Ephraim altogether prevailed against his adversary, he trod judgment under foot, for he began to go after vanities.
12 Et ego quasi tinea Ephraim: et quasi putredo domui Iuda.
Therefore I [will be] as consternation to Ephraim, and as a goad to the house of Juda.
13 Et vidit Ephraim languorem suum, et Iuda vinculum suum: et abiit Ephraim ad Assur, et misit ad regem Ultorem: et ipse non poterit sanare vos, nec solvere poterit a vobis vinculum.
And Ephraim saw his disease, and Judas his pain; then Ephraim went to the Assyrians, and sent ambassadors to king Jarim: but he could not heal you, and your pain shall in nowise cease from you.
14 Quoniam ego quasi leæna Ephraim, et quasi catulus leonis domui Iuda: ego, ego capiam, et vadam: tollam, et non est qui eruat.
Therefore I am as a panther to Ephraim, and as a lion to the house of Juda: and I will tear, and go away; and I will take, and there shall be none to deliver.
15 Vadens revertar ad locum meum: donec deficiatis, et quæratis faciem meam.
I will go and return to my place, until they are brought to nothing, and [then] shall they seek my face.
