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 priests, and attend, O house of Israel, And, O house of the king, give ear, For the judgment [is] for you, For you have been a snare on Mizpah, And a net spread out on Tabor.

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

And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I [am] a chain to them all.

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

I have known Ephraim, And Israel has not been hid from Me, For now you have gone whoring, Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

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

They do not give up their habitual doings, To turn back to their God, For a spirit of whoredoms [is] in their midst, And YHWH 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.

And humbled has been the excellence of Israel to his face, And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity, Judah has also stumbled with them.

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

With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek YHWH, and do not find, He has withdrawn from them.

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

Against YHWH they dealt treacherously, For they have begotten strange sons, Now a month consumes them [with] their portions.

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

Blow a horn in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O Beth-Aven, after you, O Benjamin.

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

Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof, I have made known a sure thing among the tribes of Israel.

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

Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border, I pour out My wrath as water on them.

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

Ephraim is oppressed, broken in judgment, When he pleased he went after the command.

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

And I [am] as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing 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.

And Ephraim sees his sickness, and Judah his wound, And Ephraim goes to Asshur, And sends to a warlike king, And he is not able to give healing to you, Nor does he remove a scar from you.

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 to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I tear and go, I carry away, and there is no deliverer.

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

I go—I return to My place, Until they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they seek Me speedily!”
