Osee Propheta 8
1 In gutture tuo sit tuba quasi aquila super domum Domini: pro eo quod transgressi sunt fœdus meum, et legem meam prævaricati sunt.
Put the trumpet to thy mouth! Like an eagle cometh an enemy against the house of Jehovah, Because they have transgressed my covenant, And have rebelled against my law.
2 Me invocabunt: Deus meus cognovimus te Israel.
They shall say to me, My God, we know thee, we, thine Israel!
3 Proiecit Israel bonum, inimicus persequetur eum.
Israel hath cast away what is good; The enemy shall pursue him.
4 Ipsi regnaverunt, et non ex me: principes exstiterunt, et non cognovi: argentum suum, et aurum suum fecerunt sibi idola, ut interirent:
They have set up kings, but not by me; They have made princes, and I knew it not. Of their silver and their gold have they made themselves idols, That they may be brought to destruction.
5 proiectus est vitulus tuus Samaria, iratus est furor meus in eos. Usquequo non poterunt emundari?
An abomination is thy calf, O Samaria! Mine anger is kindled against them; How long will it be ere they can attain to purity!
6 Quia ex Israel et ipse est: artifex fecit illum, et non est Deus: quoniam in aranearum telas erit vitulus Samariæ.
For from Israel it came; The workman made it, and it is no God; Yea, into fragments shall the calf of Samaria be broken.
7 Quia ventum seminabunt, et turbinem metent: culmus stans non est in eo, germen non faciet farinam: quod et si fecerit, alieni comedent eam.
They have sown the wind, And they shall reap the whirlwind. They shall have no standing harvest; The ear shall yield no meal; If perchance it yield, strangers shall devour it.
8 Devoratus est Israel: nunc factus est in nationibus quasi vas immundum.
Israel is swallowed up; Soon shall they become among the nations As a vessel which no one desireth.
9 Quia ipsi ascenderunt ad Assur, onager solitarius sibi: Ephraim munera dederunt amatoribus.
For they have gone up to Assyria, Like a solitary wild-ass; Ephraim hireth lovers;
10 Sed et cum mercede conduxerint nationes, nunc congregabo eos: et quiescent paulisper ab onere regis, et principum.
But though they hire among the nations, Soon will I gather the nations against them; Then shall they rest a little while from the burden of their king, and their princes!
11 Quia multiplicavit Ephraim altaria ad peccandum: factæ sunt ei aræ in delictum.
Ephraim hath built many altars for sin, Therefore shall he have altars for sin.
12 Scribam ei multiplices leges meas, quæ velut alienæ computatæ sunt.
Though I write for him many laws, They are accounted as a strange thing;
13 Hostias offerent, immolabunt carnes, et comedent, et Dominus non suscipiet eas: nunc recordabitur iniquitatis eorum, et visitabit peccata eorum: ipsi in Ægyptum convertentur.
As to the sacrifices which they should offer me, they slay flesh and eat it; Jehovah hath no pleasure in them. Now will he remember their iniquity, And punish their sins; To Egypt shall they return.
14 Et oblitus est Israel Factoris sui, et ædificavit delubra: et Iudas multiplicavit urbes munitas: et mittam ignem in civitates eius, et devorabit ædes illius.
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces, And Judah hath multiplied fenced cities; But I will send a fire upon his cities, And it shall devour his palaces.
