Osee Propheta 11
1 Sicut mane transiit, pertransit rex Israel. Quia puer Israel, et dilexi eum: et ex Aegypto 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.
As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baals, and burned incense to graven images.
3 Et ego quasi nutricius Ephraim, portabam eos in brachiis meis: et nescierunt quod curarem eos.
And I it was that taught Ephraim to walk, — He took them upon his arms, — but they knew not 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 bands of a man, with cords of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I gently caused them to eat.
5 Non revertetur in Terram Aegypti, et Assur ipse rex eius: quoniam noluerunt converti.
He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king; for they refused to return [to me];
6 Coepit gladius in civitatibus eius, et consumet electos eius, et comedet capita eorum.
and the sword shall turn about in his cities, and shall consume his 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.
Yea, my people are bent upon backsliding from me: though they call them to the Most High, none at all exalteth [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 poenitudo mea.
How shall I give thee over, Ephraim? [how] shall I deliver thee up, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? [how] shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
9 Non faciam furorem irae meae: 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; he shall roar like a lion; when he shall roar, then the children shall hasten from the west:
11 Et avolabunt quasi avis ex Aegypto, et quasi columba de Terra Assyriorum: et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.
they shall hasten as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will cause them to dwell in their houses, saith Jehovah.
12 Circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim, et in dolo domus Israel: Iudas autem testis descendit cum Deo, et cum sanctis fidelis.
Ephraim encompasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet walketh with God, and with the holy things of truth.
