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.
The more they called them, the more they went from them; they sacrificed unto the Baalim, and offered to graven images.
3 Et ego quasi nutricius Ephraim, portabam eos in brachiis meis: et nescierunt quod curarem eos.
And I, I taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by their 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 cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I fed them gently.
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, because they refused to return.
6 Coepit gladius in civitatibus eius, et consumet electos eius, et comedet capita eorum.
And the sword shall fall upon 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.
And My people are in suspense about returning to Me; and though they call them upwards, none at all will lift himself up.
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 up, Ephraim? How shall I surrender thee, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned within Me, My compassions 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 return to destroy Ephraim; for I am God, and not man, the Holy One in the midst of thee; and I will not come in fury.
10 Post Dominum ambulabunt, quasi leo rugiet: quia ipse rugiet, et formidabunt filii maris.
They shall walk after the LORD, who shall roar like a lion; for He shall roar, and the children shall come trembling 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 come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will make them to dwell in their houses, saith the LORD.
12 Circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim, et in dolo domus Israel: Iudas autem testis descendit cum Deo, et cum sanctis fidelis.
Ephraim compasseth Me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; and Judah is yet wayward towards God, and towards the Holy One who is faithful.
