Osee Propheta 11
1 Sicut mane transiit, pertransiit rex Israel. Quia puer Israel, et dilexi eum: et ex Ægypto vocavi filium meum.
When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.
2 Vocaverunt eos, sic abierunt a facie eorum: Baalim immolabant, et simulachris sacrificabant.
The more the prophets called them, the more they went from them. They sacrificed to the Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
3 Et ego quasi nutricius Ephraim, portabam eos in brachiis meis: et nescierunt quod curarem eos.
Yet I taught Ephraim to walk. I took them on my arms, but they did not know that I healed them.
4 In funiculis Adam traham eos, in vinculis charitatis: et ero eis quasi exaltans iugum super maxillas eorum: et declinavi ad eum ut vesceretur.
I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love, and I was to them as those who lift up the yoke on their jaws. And I laid food before them.
5 Non revertetur in Terram Ægypti, et Assur ipse rex eius: quoniam noluerunt converti.
They shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be their king, because they refused to return to me.
6 Cœpit gladius in civitatibus eius, et consumet electos eius, et comedet capita eorum.
And the sword shall fall upon their cities, and shall consume their bars, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
7 Et populus meus pendebit ad reditum meum: iugum autem imponetur eis simul, quod non auferetur.
And my people are bent on backsliding from me. Though they call them to him who is on high, none at all will exalt him.
8 Quomodo dabo te Ephraim, protegam te Israel? quomodo dabo te sicut Adama, ponam te, ut Seboim? Conversum est in me cor meum, pariter conturbata est pœnitudo mea.
How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? How shall I cast thee off, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboiim? My heart is turned within me. My compassions are kindled together.
9 Non faciam furorem iræ meæ: non convertar ut disperdam Ephraim: quoniam Deus ego, et non homo: in medio tui sanctus, et non ingrediar civitatem.
I will not execute the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, the Holy One in the midst of thee, and I will not come in wrath.
10 Post Dominum ambulabunt, quasi leo rugiet: quia ipse rugiet, et formidabunt filii maris.
They shall walk after Jehovah, who will roar like a lion. For he will roar, and the sons shall come trembling from the west.
11 Et avolabunt quasi avis ex Ægypto, et quasi columba de Terra Assyriorum: et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.
They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria. And I will make them to dwell in their houses, says Jehovah.
12 Circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim, et in dolo domus Israel: Iudas autem testis descendit cum Deo, et cum sanctis fidelis.
Ephraim encompasses me around with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit, but Judah yet rules with God, and is faithful with the Holy One.
