Osee Propheta 5
1 Audite hoc, sacerdotes, et attendite, domus Israël, et domus regis, auscultate: quia vobis judicium est, quoniam laqueus facti estis speculationi, et rete expansum super Thabor.
Give ear to this, O priests; give attention, O Israel, and you, family of the king; for you are to be judged; you have been a deceit at Mizpah and a net stretched out on Tabor.
2 Et victimas declinastis in profundum; et ego eruditor omnium eorum.
They have gone deep in the evil ways of Shittim, but I am the judge of all.
3 Ego scio Ephraim, et Israël non est absconditus a me: quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim; contaminatus est Israël.
I have knowledge of Ephraim, and Israel is not secret from me; for now, O Ephraim, you have been false to me, Israel has become unclean.
4 Non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Deum suum, quia spiritus fornicationum in medio eorum, et Dominum non cognoverunt.
Their works will not let them come back to their God, for a false spirit is in them and they have no knowledge of the Lord.
5 Et respondebit arrogantia Israël in facie ejus, et Israël et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua: ruet etiam Judas cum eis.
And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; and Ephraim will have a fall through his sins, and the fall of Judah will be the same as theirs.
6 In gregibus suis et in armentis suis vadent ad quærendum Dominum, et non invenient: ablatus est ab eis.
They will go, with their flocks and their herds, in search of the Lord, but they will not see him; he has taken himself out of their view.
7 In Dominum prævaricati sunt, quia filios alienos genuerunt: nunc devorabit eos mensis, cum partibus suis.
They have been false to the Lord; they have given birth to strange children; now the new moon will make them waste with their fields.
8 Clangite buccina in Gabaa, tuba in Rama; ululate in Bethaven, post tergum tuum, Benjamin.
Let the horn be sounded in Gibeah and in Ramah; give a loud cry in Beth-aven, They are after you, O Benjamin.
9 Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis; in tribubus Israël ostendi fidem.
Ephraim will become a waste in the day of punishment; I have given knowledge among the tribes of Israel of what is certain.
10 Facti sunt principes Juda quasi assumentes terminum; super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam.
The rulers of Judah are like those who take away a landmark; I will let loose my wrath on them like flowing water.
11 Calumniam patiens est Ephraim, fractus judicio, quoniam cœpit abire post sordes.
Ephraim is troubled; he is crushed by his judges, because he took pleasure in walking after deceit.
12 Et ego quasi tinea Ephraim, et quasi putredo domui Juda.
And so to Ephraim I am like a wasting insect, and a destruction to the children of Judah.
13 Et vidit Ephraim languorem suum, et Juda vinculum suum; et abiit Ephraim ad Assur, et misit ad regem ultorem: et ipse non poterit sanare vos, nec solvere poterit a vobis vinculum.
When Ephraim saw his disease and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria and sent to the great king; but he is not able to make you well or give you help for your wound.
14 Quoniam ego quasi leæna Ephraim, et quasi catulus leonis domui Juda. Ego, ego capiam, et vadam; tollam, et non est qui eruat.
For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the children of Judah; I, even I, will give him wounds and go away; I will take him away, and there will be no helper.
15 Vadens revertar ad locum meum, donec deficiatis, et quæratis faciem meam.
I will go back to my place till they are made waste; in their trouble they will go after me early and will make search for me.
