Osee Propheta 6

1 In tribulatione sua mane consurgent ad me: Venite, et revertamur ad Dominum:

Come and let us return unto Jehovah: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

2 quia ipse cepit, et sanabit nos: percutiet, et curabit nos.

After two days will he revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before his face;

3 Vivificabit nos post duos dies: in die tertia suscitabit nos, et vivemus in conspectu eius. Sciemus, sequemurque ut cognoscamus Dominum: quasi diluculum praeparatus est egressus eius, et veniet quasi imber nobis temporaneus et serotinus terrae.

and we shall know, — we shall follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is assured as the morning dawn; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain which watereth the earth.

4 Quid faciam tibi Ephraim? quid faciam tibi Iuda? misericordia vestra quasi nubes matutina, et quasi ros mane pertransiens.

What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do unto thee, Judah? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away.

5 Propter hoc dolavi in prophetis, occidi eos in verbis oris mei: et iudicia tua quasi lux egredientur.

Therefore have I hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and my judgment goeth forth as the light.

6 Quia misericordiam volui, et non sacrificium, et scientiam Dei plusquam holocausta.

For I delight in loving-kindness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.

7 Ipsi autem sicut Adam transgressi sunt pactum, ibi praevaricati sunt in me.

But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

8 Galaad civitas operantium idolum, supplantata sanguine.

Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity; it is tracked with blood.

9 Et quasi fauces virorum latronum, particeps sacerdotum, in via interficientium pergentes de Sichen: quia scelus operati sunt.

And as troops of robbers lie in wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way of Shechem; yea, they commit lewdness.

10 In domo Israel vidi horrendum: ibi fornicationes Ephraim: contaminatus est Israel.

In the house of Israel have I seen a horrible thing: the whoredom of Ephraim is there; Israel is defiled.

11 Sed et Iuda pone messem tibi, cum convertero captivitatem populi mei.

Also, for thee, Judah, is a harvest appointed, when I shall turn again the captivity of my people.
