Osee Propheta 5

1 Audite hoc sacerdotes, et attendite domus Israel, et domus regis auscultate: quia vobis iudicium est, quoniam laqueus facti estis speculationi, et sicut rete expansum super Thabor.

Hear this, O ye priests; and listen well, O ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for the punishment threateneth you; because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread out upon Thabor.

2 Et victimas declinastis in profundum: et ego eruditor omnium eorum.

And for murdering they who had rebelled [against God] concealed themselves in deep places; but I will inflict correction on them all.

3 Ego scio Ephraim, et Israel non est absconditus a me: quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim, contaminatus est Israel.

I well know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, O Ephraim, hast thou played the harlot, [and] Israel is defiled.

4 Non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Deum suum: quia spiritus fornicationum in medio eorum, et Dominum non cognoverunt.

Their doings will not permit them to return unto their God; for the spirit of lewdness is in their bosom, and the Lord they have not known.

5 Et respondebit arrogantia Israel in facie eius: et Israel, et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua, ruet etiam Iuda cum eis.

Therefore shall the pride of Israel be humbled before his face: and Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity; Judah also shall stumble with them.

6 In gregibus suis, et in armentis suis vadent ad quaerendum Dominum, et non invenient: ablatus est ab eis.

With their flocks and with their herds will they go to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him: he hath withdrawn himself from them.

7 In Dominum praevaricati sunt, quia filios alienos genuerunt: nunc devorabit eos mensis cum partibus suis.

Against the Lord have they dealt treacherously; for strange children have they begotten: now shall one month devour them together with their possessions.

8 Clangite buccina in Gabaa, tuba in Rama: ululate in Bethaven, post tergum tuum Beniamin.

Blow ye the cornet in Gib'ah, the trumpet in Ramah: blow the alarm at Beth-aven, [The enemy is] after thee, O Benjamin.

9 Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis: in tribubus Israel ostendi fidem.

Ephraim shall be made desolate on the day of chastisement: among the tribes of Israel had I made known that which is true.

10 Facti sunt principes Iuda quasi assumentes terminum: super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam.

The princes of Judah were like those that remove the landmark: my wrath, therefore, will I pour out upon them like water.

11 Calumniam patiens est Ephraim, fractus iudicio: quoniam coepit abire post sordes.

Oppressed is Ephraim, broken through punishment; because he willingly walked after the commandment [of false prophets].

12 Et ego quasi tinea Ephraim: et quasi putredo domui Iuda.

But like the moth became I unto Ephraim, and like rottenness to the house of Judah.

13 Et vidit Ephraim languorem suum, et Iuda vinculum suum: et abiit Ephraim ad Assur, et misit ad regem Ultorem: et ipse non poterit sanare vos, nec solvere poterit a vobis vinculum.

Then saw Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, and Ephraim went to Asshur, and [the other] sent to the king that should contend [[Jareb]]; but he will never be able to heal you, nor remove from you your wound.

14 Quoniam ego quasi leaena Ephraim, et quasi catulus leonis domui Iuda: ego ego capiam, et vadam: tollam, et non est qui eruat.

For I am as a lion unto Ephraim, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I myself will tear in pieces and go away; I will bear away, and none shall deliver.

15 Vadens revertar ad locum meum: donec deficiatis, et quaeratis faciem meam.

I will go [from here, and] return to my place, till they acknowledge their guilt, and seek my presence: in their affliction will they seek for me.
