Osee Propheta 12
1 Ephraim pascit ventum, et sequitur aestum: tota die mendacium, et vastitatem multiplicat: et foedus cum Assyriis iniit, et oleum in Aegyptum ferebat.
Ephraim feeds on wind, and follows after the east wind: he daily increases lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
2 Iudicium ergo Domini cum Iuda, et visitatio super Iacob: iuxta vias eius, et iuxta adinventiones eius reddet ei.
The LORD has also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
3 In utero supplantavit fratrem suum: et in fortitudine sua directus est cum angelo.
He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
4 Et invaluit ad angelum, et confortatus est: flevit, et rogavit eum: in Bethel invenit eum, et ibi locutus est nobiscum.
Yes, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us;
5 Et Dominus Deus exercituum, Dominus memoriale eius.
Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.
6 Et tu ad Dominum Deum tuum converteris: misericordiam et iudicium custodi, et spera in Deo tuo semper.
Therefore turn you to your God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on your God continually.
7 Chanaan, in manu eius statera dolosa, calumniam dilexit.
He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loves to oppress.
8 Et dixit Ephraim: Verumtamen dives effectus sum, inveni idolum mihi: omnes labores mei non invenient mihi iniquitatem, quam peccavi.
And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labors they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
9 Et ego Dominus Deus tuus ex Terra Aegypti, adhuc sedere te faciam in tabernaculis, sicut in diebus festivitatis.
And I that am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt will yet make you to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
10 Et locutus sum super prophetas, et ego visionem multiplicavi, et in manu prophetarum assimilatus sum.
I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
11 Si Galaad idolum, ergo frustra errant in Galgal bobus immolantes: nam et altaria eorum quasi acervi super sulcos agri:
Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yes, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
12 Fugit Iacob in regionem Syriae, et servivit Israel in uxorem, et in uxore servavit.
And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
13 In propheta autem eduxit Dominus Israel de Aegypto: et in propheta servatus est.
And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
14 Ad iracundiam me provocavit Ephraim in amaritudinibus suis, et sanguis eius super eum veniet, et opprobrium eius restituet ei Dominus Deus suus.
Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood on him, and his reproach shall his LORD return to him.
