Osee Propheta 13
1 Loquente Ephraim, horror invasit Israel, et deliquit in Baal, et mortuus est.
When Ephraim, spake, there was terror, exalted was, he, in Israel, —but, when he became guilty with Baal, then he died.
2 Et nunc addiderunt ad peccandum: feceruntque sibi conflatile de argento suo quasi similitudinem idolorum, factura artificum totum est: his ipsi dicunt: Immolate homines vitulos adorantes.
Now, therefore they go on to sin, and have made them a Molten Thing out of their silver, after the notion of idols, the workmanship of craftsmen, all of it! Of them, are they saying—Ye sacrificers of men! The Great Calf, shall ye surely kiss!
3 Idcirco erunt quasi nubes matutina, et sicut ros matutinus praeteriens, sicut pulvis turbine raptus ex area, et sicut fumus de fumario.
Therefore, shall they become like the morning cloud, and like the dew early departing, —like chaff storm-driven out of the threshing-floor, and like smoke out of a chimney.
4 Ego autem Dominus Deus tuus ex Terra Aegypti: et Deum absque me nescies, et salvator non est praeter me.
Yet, I, Yahweh, have been thy God from the land of Egypt, —and, god beside me, shalt thou not acknowledge, for, saviour, is there none besides me.
5 Ego cognovi te in deserto, in terra solitudinis.
I, tended thee in the desert, —in a land parched with drought:
6 Iuxta pascua sua adimpleti sunt, et saturati sunt: levaverunt cor suum, et obliti sunt mei.
Whenever they were pastured, then were they satisfied, They were satisfied, and their heart, was lifted up, —because of this, they forgat me.
7 Et ego ero eis quasi leaena, sicut pardus in via Assyriorum.
Therefore am I become to them as a lion, —As a leopard by the way, do I watch.
8 Occurram eis quasi ursa raptis catulis, et dirumpam interiora iecoris eorum: et consumam eos ibi quasi leo, bestia agri scindet eos.
I will fall upon them as a bear bereaved, and will read asunder the enclosure of their heart, —that I may devour them there, like a lioness, the wild beast of the field, shall tear them in pieces.
9 Perditio tu Israel: tantummodo in me auxilium tuum.
It hath utterly destroyed thee, O Israel, for it was against me, as thy helper!
10 Ubi est rex tuus? maxime nunc salvet te in omnibus urbibus tuis: et iudices tui, de quibus dixisti: Da mihi regem, et principes.
Where is thy king, then, that he may save thee throughout all thy cities? and thy judges, concerning whom thou saidst, Oh give me a king and rulers?
11 Dabo tibi regem in furore meo, et auferam in indignatione mea.
I might give thee a king in mine anger, and take him away in my wrath.
12 Colligata est iniquitas Ephraim, absconditum peccatum eius.
Bound up, is the iniquity of Ephraim, stored away, his sin.
13 Dolores parturientis venient ei: ipse filius non sapiens: nunc enim non stabit in contritione filiorum.
The pangs of a woman in labour, shall overtake him, —he, is a son, not wise, for, now, he cannot stand still, when children are about to be born.
14 De manu mortis liberabo eos, de morte redimam eos: ero mors tua o mors, morsus tuus ero inferne: consolatio abscondita est ab oculis meis. (Sheol h7585)
Out of the hand of hades, will I ransom them, out of death, will I redeem them, —Where is thy pestilence, O death? Where thy plague, O hades? Repentance, shall be hid from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
15 Quia ipse inter fratres dividet: adducet urentem ventum Dominus de deserto ascendentem: et siccabit venas eius, et desolabit fontem eius, et ipse diripiet thesaurum omnis vasis desiderabilis.
Though, he, among brethren, be fruitful, there shall come in an east wind, the blast of Yahweh out of the desert coming up, that his spring, may dry up, and his fountain, be exhausted, he, will rob the treasure-house of all the vessels of delight.
16 Pereat Samaria, quoniam ad amaritudinem concitavit Deum suum: in gladio pereant, parvuli eorum elidantur, et foetae eius discindantur.
Samaria, shall be held guilty, for she hath rebelled against her God, By the sword, shall they fall, their infants, shall be dashed to the ground, and, his women with child, shall be ripped up.
