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 childe, then I loued him, and called my sonne out of Egypt.
2 Vocaverunt eos, sic abierunt a facie eorum: Baalim immolabant, et simulachris sacrificabant.
They called them, but they went thus from them: they sacrificed vnto Baalim, and burnt incense to images.
3 Et ego quasi nutricius Ephraim, portabam eos in brachiis meis: et nescierunt quod curarem eos.
I ledde Ephraim also, as one shoulde beare them in his armes: but they knewe 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 led them with cordes of a man, euen with bandes of loue, and I was to them, as hee that taketh off the yoke from their iawes, and I laide the meat vnto them.
5 Non revertetur in Terram Aegypti, et Assur ipse rex eius: quoniam noluerunt converti.
He shall no more returne into the lande of Egypt: but Asshur shalbe his King, because they refused to conuert.
6 Coepit gladius in civitatibus eius, et consumet electos eius, et comedet capita eorum.
And the sworde shall fall on his cities, and shall consume his barres, and deuoure them, because of their owne counsels.
7 Et populus meus pendebit ad reditum meum: iugum autem imponetur eis simul, quod non auferetur.
And my people are bent to rebellion against me: though they called them to the most hie, yet none at all would exalt 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.
Howe shall I giue thee vp, Ephraim? howe shall I deliuer thee, Israel? how shall I make thee, as Admah? howe shall I set thee, as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within mee: my repentings are rouled 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 wil not execute ye fiercenesse of my wrath: I will not returne to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man, the holy one in the middes of thee, and I will not enter into the citie.
10 Post Dominum ambulabunt, quasi leo rugiet: quia ipse rugiet, et formidabunt filii maris.
They shall walke after the Lord: he shall roare like a lyon: when hee shall roare, then the children of the West shall feare.
11 Et avolabunt quasi avis ex Aegypto, et quasi columba de Terra Assyriorum: et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.
They shall feare as a sparrow out of Egypt, and as a doue of the lande of Asshur, and I will place them in their houses, sayth the Lord.
12 Circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim, et in dolo domus Israel: Iudas autem testis descendit cum Deo, et cum sanctis fidelis.
Ephraim copasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Iudah yet ruleth with God, and is faithfull with the Saints.
