Osee Propheta 6

1 In tribulatione sua mane consurgent ad me: Venite, et revertamur ad Dominum,

'Come, and we turn back unto Jehovah, For He hath torn, and He doth heal us, He doth smite, and He bindeth us up.

2 quia ipse cepit, et sanabit nos; percutiet, et curabit nos.

He doth revive us after two days, In the third day He doth raise us up, And we live before Him.

3 Vivificabit nos post duos dies; in die tertia suscitabit nos, et vivemus in conspectu ejus. Sciemus, sequemurque ut cognoscamus Dominum: quasi diluculum præparatus est egressus ejus, et veniet quasi imber nobis temporaneus et serotinus terræ.

And we know — we pursue to know Jehovah, As the dawn prepared is His going forth, And He cometh in as a shower to us, As gathered rain — sprinkling earth.'

4 Quid faciam tibi, Ephraim? quid faciam tibi, Juda? misericordia vestra quasi nubes matutina, et quasi ros mane pertransiens.

What do I do to thee, O Ephraim? What do I do to thee, O Judah? Your goodness [is] as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early — going.

5 Propter hoc dolavi in prophetis; occidi eos in verbis oris mei: et judicia tua quasi lux egredientur.

Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments to the light goeth forth.

6 Quia misericordiam volui, et non sacrificium; et scientiam Dei plus quam holocausta.

For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.

7 Ipsi autem sicut Adam transgressi sunt pactum: ibi prævaricati sunt in me.

And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against me.

8 Galaad civitas operantium idolum, supplantata sanguine.

Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.

9 Et quasi fauces virorum latronum, particeps sacerdotum, in via interficientium pergentes de Sichem: quia scelus operati sunt.

And as bands do wait for a man, A company of priests do murder — the way to Shechem, For wickedness they have done.

10 In domo Israël vidi horrendum: ibi fornicationes Ephraim, contaminatus est Israël.

In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There [is] the whoredom of Ephraim — defiled is Israel.

11 Sed et Juda, pone messem tibi, cum convertero captivitatem populi mei.

Also, O Judah, appointed is a harvest to thee, In My turning back [to] the captivity of My people!
