Osee Propheta 6

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

Come, and let us return to the LORD: 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: in the third day will he raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

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.

Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he will come to us as the rain, as the latter [and] former rain to the earth.

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

O Ephraim, what shall I do to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? for your goodness [is] as the morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth 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 thy judgments [are as] the light [that] goeth forth.

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

For I desired mercy, 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 men 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, [and is] polluted 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 wait for a man, [so] the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.

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

I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: there [is] the prostitution of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

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

Also, O Judah, he hath set a harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
