< Osee Propheta 14 >
1 Convertere, Israël, ad Dominum Deum tuum, quoniam corruisti in iniquitate tua.
Turn back, O Israel, unto Jehovah thy God, For thou hast stumbled by thine iniquity.
2 Tollite vobiscum verba, et convertimini ad Dominum; et dicite ei: Omnem aufer iniquitatem, accipe bonum, et reddemus vitulos labiorum nostrorum.
Take with you words, and turn to Jehovah, Say ye unto Him: 'Take away all iniquity, and give good, And we do render the fruit of our lips.
3 Assur non salvabit nos: super equum non ascendemus, nec dicemus ultra, Dii nostri opera manuum nostrarum: quia ejus, qui in te est, misereberis pupilli.
Asshur doth not save us, on a horse we ride not, Nor do we say any more, Our God, to the work of our hands, For in Thee find mercy doth the fatherless.'
4 Sanabo contritiones eorum; diligam eos spontanee: quia aversus est furor meus ab eis.
I heal their backsliding, I love them freely, For turned back hath Mine anger from him.
5 Ero quasi ros; Israël germinabit sicut lilium, et erumpet radix ejus ut Libani.
I am as dew to Israel, he flourisheth as a lily, And he striketh forth his roots as Lebanon.
6 Ibunt rami ejus, et erit quasi oliva gloria ejus, et odor ejus ut Libani.
Go on do his sucklings, And his beauty is as an olive, And he hath fragrance as Lebanon.
7 Convertentur sedentes in umbra ejus; vivent tritico, et germinabunt quasi vinea; memoriale ejus sicut vinum Libani.
Return do the dwellers under his shadow, They revive [as] corn, and flourish as a vine, His memorial [is] as wine of Lebanon.
8 Ephraim, quid mihi ultra idola? Ego exaudiam, et dirigam eum ego ut abietem virentem; ex me fructus tuus inventus est.
O Ephraim, what to Me any more with idols? I — I afflicted, and I cause him to sing: 'I [am] as a green fir-tree,' From Me is thy fruit found.
9 Quis sapiens, et intelliget ista? intelligens, et sciet hæc? quia rectæ viæ Domini, et justi ambulabunt in eis; prævaricatores vero corruent in eis.
Who [is] wise, and doth understand these? Prudent, and knoweth them? For upright are the ways of Jehovah, And the righteous go on in them, And the transgressors stumble therein!
