Osee Propheta 11
1 Sicut mane transiit, pertransiit rex Israël. Quia puer Israël, et dilexi eum; et ex Ægypto vocavi filium meum.
When Israel was a child, I loved him, And called my son out of Egypt,
2 Vocaverunt eos, sic abierunt a facie eorum; Baalim immolabant, et simulacris sacrificabant.
But they turned away from those that called them. They sacrificed to images of Baal; They burned incense to idols.
3 Et ego quasi nutritius Ephraim: portabam eos in brachiis meis, et nescierunt quod curarem eos.
I helped Ephraim to go, Yea, I took them up in my arms; Yet they marked not that I healed them.
4 In funiculis Adam traham eos, in vinculis caritatis; et ero eis quasi exaltans jugum super maxillas eorum, et declinavi ad eum ut vesceretur.
I drew them with human cords, with bands of love; I was to them as those who lift up the yoke from their jaws; I dealt gently with them, and gave them food.
5 Non revertetur in terram Ægypti, et Assur ipse rex ejus, quoniam noluerunt converti.
They shall no more go down to Egypt; For the Assyrian shall be their king, Because they refuse to return to me.
6 Cœpit gladius in civitatibus ejus, et consumet electos ejus, et comedet capita eorum.
The sword shall fall upon their cities, It shall consume their bars, and devour Because of their devices.
7 Et populus meus pendebit ad reditum meum; jugum autem imponetur eis simul, quod non auferetur.
For my people persevere in turning away from me; Though they are called to the Most High, None will exalt him.
8 Quomodo dabo te, Ephraim? protegam te, Israël? 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 abandon thee, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is changed within me; Yea, my compassion is kindled.
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 mine anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim; For I am God, and not man, The Holy One in the midst of thee, And I will not come in anger.
10 Post Dominum ambulabunt; quasi leo rugiet, quia ipse rugiet, et formidabunt filii maris.
They shall walk after Jehovah, when he shall roar like a lion, When he shall roar, then shall their sons hasten 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 hasten as a bird from Egypt, And as a dove from the land of Assyria, And I will place them in their houses, saith Jehovah.
12 Circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim, et in dolo domus Israël; Judas autem testis descendit cum Deo, et cum sanctis fidelis.
Ephraim compasseth me about with falsehood, And the house of Israel with deceit; Judah also is inconstant toward God, Toward the holy and faithful one.
