Osee Propheta 2
1 Dicite fratribus vestris: Populus meus: et sorori vestrae, Misericordiam consecuta.
Call ye your brethren My-people; and your sisters Pitied.
2 Iudicate matrem vestram, iudicate: quoniam ipsa non uxor mea, et ego non vir eius. auferat fornicationes suas a facie sua, et adulteria sua de medio uberum suorum.
Contend ye with your mother, contend! For she is not my wife, Nor am I her husband; That she put away lewdness from her face, And adultery from her breasts, Lest I strip her naked, And expose her, as when she was born;
3 Ne forte expoliem eam nudam, et statuam eam secundum diem nativitatis suae: et ponam eam quasi solitudinem, et statuam eam velut terram inviam, et interficiam eam siti.
Lest I make her as the desert, and like a parched land, And kill her with thirst.
4 Et filiorum illius non miserebor: quoniam filii fornicationum sunt.
Upon her sons also I will not have pity, For they are the sons of lewdness.
5 quia fornicata est mater eorum, confusa est quae concepit eos: quia dixit: Vadam post amatores meos, qui dant panes mihi, et aquas meas, lanam meam, et linum meum, oleum meum, et potum meum.
For their mother hath been guilty of lewdness; She that bore them hath brought upon herself shame; For she said, I will go after my lovers, Who give me my food and my water, My wool and my flax, my oil and my strong drink.
6 Propter hoc ecce ego sepiam viam tuam spinis, et sepiam eam maceria, et semitas suas non inveniet.
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her way with thorns, And I will enclose her with a wall, So that she shall not find her paths.
7 Et sequetur amatores suos, et non apprehendet eos: et quaeret eos, et non inveniet, et dicet: Vadam, et revertar ad virum meum priorem: quia bene mihi erat tunc magis quam nunc.
When she followeth after her lovers, she shall not overtake them; When she seeketh them, she shall not find them. Then shall she say, I will go back to my former husband, For then it was better with me than now.
8 Et haec nescivit, quia ego dedi ei frumentum, et vinum, et oleum, et argentum multiplicavi ei, et aurum, quae fecerunt Baal.
For she did not consider that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, And multiplied silver unto her, And gold, of which they made images of Baal.
9 Idcirco convertar, et sumam frumentum meum in tempore suo, et vinum meum in tempore suo, et liberabo lanam meam et linum meum, quae operiebant ignominiam eius.
Therefore will I take back my corn in its time, And my new wine in its season, And I will take away my wool and my flax, Which covered her nakedness.
10 Et nunc revelabo stultitiam eius in oculis amatorum eius: et vir non eruet eam de manu mea:
And now will I reveal her shame before the eyes of her lovers, And none shall deliver her out of my hand.
11 et cessare faciam omne gaudium eius, sollemnitatem eius, neomeniam eius, sabbatum eius, et omnia festa tempora eius.
And I will cause all her joy to cease; Her feasts, and new moons, and sabbaths, And all her festal days.
12 Et corrumpam vineam eius, et ficum eius: de quibus dixit: Mercedes hae, meae sunt, quas dederunt mihi amatores mei: et ponam eam in saltum, et comedet eam bestia agri.
I will destroy her vines, and her fig-trees, Of which she said, These are my hire, Which my lovers have given me; And I will make them a forest, And the wild beasts shall eat them.
13 Et visitabo super eam dies Baalim, quibus accendebat incensum, et ornabatur inaure sua, et monili suo, et ibat post amatores suos, et mei obliviscebatur, dicit Dominus.
I will punish her for the days of the Baals, When she burned incense to them, And decked herself with her rings and her jewels, And went after her lovers, And forgot me, saith Jehovah.
14 Propter hoc, ecce ego lactabo eam, et ducam eam in solitudinem: et loquar ad cor eius.
Therefore, behold, I will allure her, And will lead her to the desert, And will speak kindly to her;
15 Et dabo ei vinitores eius ex eodem loco, et Vallem Achor ad aperiendam spem: et canet ibi iuxta dies iuventutis suae, et iuxta dies ascensionis suae de Terra Aegypti.
And thence will I give her her vineyards, And the valley of Achor for a door of hope; And there shall she sing, as in the days of her youth! As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.
16 Et erit in die illa, ait Dominus: vocabit me: Vir meus: et non vocabit me ultra, Baalim.
At that time, saith Jehovah, Thou shalt call me, MY HUSBAND; Thou shalt no more call me, MY BAAL;
17 Et auferam nomina Baalim de ore eius, et non recordabitur ultra nominis eorum.
For I will take away the name of the Baals out of her mouth, And their name shall no more be uttered.
18 Et percutiam cum eis foedus in die illa, cum bestia agri, et cum volucre caeli, et cum reptili terrae: et arcum, et gladium, et bellum conteram de terra: et dormire eos faciam fiducialiter.
At that time will I make for them a covenant With the beasts of the forest, and with the birds of heaven, And with the creeping things of the ground. The bow and the sword and the battle will I break from the land, And I will cause them to lie down in safety.
19 Et sponsabo te mihi in sempiternum: et sponsabo te mihi in iustitia, et iudicio, et in misericordia, et in miserationibus.
I will betroth thee to me forever; Yea, I will betroth thee to me in righteousness, and in justice, And in kindness, and in tender love.
20 Et sponsabo te mihi in fide: et scies quia ego Dominus.
Yea, I will betroth thee to me in faithfulness, And thou shalt know Jehovah.
21 Et erit in die illa: Exaudiam, dicit Dominus, exaudiam caelos, et illi exaudient terram.
At that time will I hear, saith Jehovah; I will hear the heavens; And they shall hear the earth,
22 Et terra exaudiet triticum, et vinum, et oleum: et haec exaudient Iezrahel.
And the earth shall hear the corn, and the new wine, and the oil, And they shall hear Jezreel.
23 Et seminabo eam mihi in terra, et miserebor eius, quae fuit Absque misericordia. Et dicam non populo meo: Populus meus es tu: et ipse dicet: Deus meus es tu.
And I will plant her for myself in the land; And I will have pity upon her that was called Unpitied; And I will say to them called Not-my-people, Thou art my people; And they shall say, Thou art my God.
