Osee Propheta 7
1 Cum sanare vellem Israel, revelata est iniquitas Ephraim, et malitia Samariae, quia operati sunt mendacium: et fur ingressus est, spolians latrunculus foris.
When I have healed Israel, then shall the iniquity of Ephraim be revealed, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they have wrought falsehood: and a thief shall come in to him, [even] a robber spoiling in his way;
2 Et ne forte dicant in cordibus suis omnem malitiam eorum me recordatum: nunc circumdederunt eos adinventiones suae, coram facie mea factae sunt.
that they may concert together as [men] singing in their heart: I remember all their wickedness: now have their own counsels compassed them about; they came before my face.
3 In malitia sua laetificaverunt regem: et in mendaciis suis principes.
They gladdened kings with their wickedness, and princes with their lies.
4 Omnes adulterantes, quasi clibanus succensus a coquente: quievit paululum civitas a commistione fermenti, donec fermentaretur totum.
They are all adulterers, as an oven glowing with flame for hot-baking, on account of the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
5 Dies regis nostri: coeperunt principes furere a vino: extendit manum suam cum illusoribus.
[In] the days of our kings, the princes began to be inflamed with wine: he stretched out his hand with pestilent fellows.
6 Quia applicuerunt quasi clibanum cor suum, cum insidiaretur eis: tota nocte dormivit coquens eos, mane ipse succensus quasi ignis flammae.
Wherefore their hearts are inflamed as an oven, while they rage all the night: Ephraim is satisfied with sleep; the morning is come; he is burnt up as a flame of fire.
7 Omnes calefacti sunt quasi clibanus, et devoraverunt iudices suos: omnes reges eorum ceciderunt: non est qui clamat in eis ad me.
They are all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings are fallen; there was not among them one that called on me.
8 Ephraim in populis ipse commiscebatur: Ephraim factus est subcinericius panis, qui non reversatur.
Ephraim is mixed among his people; Ephraim became a cake not turned.
9 Comederunt alieni robur eius, et ipse nescivit: sed et cani effusi sunt in eo, et ipse ignoravit.
Strangers devoured his strength, and he knew [it] not; and grey hairs came upon him, and he knew [it] not.
10 Et humiliabitur superbia Israel in facie eius: nec reversi sunt ad Dominum Deum suum, et non quaesierunt eum in omnibus his.
And the pride of Israel shall be brought down before his face: yet they have not returned to the Lord their God, neither have they diligently sought him for all this.
11 Et factus est Ephraim quasi columba seducta non habens cor: Aegyptum invocabant, ad Assyrios abierunt.
And Ephraim was as a silly dove, not having a heart: he called to Egypt, and they went to the Assyrians.
12 Et cum profecti fuerint, expandam super eos rete meum: quasi volucrem caeli detraham eos, caedam eos secundum auditionem coetus eorum.
Whenever they shall go, I will cast my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the sky, I will chasten them with the rumor of their [coming] affliction.
13 Vae eis, quoniam recesserunt a me: vastabuntur, quia praevaricati sunt in me: et ego redemi eos: et ipsi locuti sunt contra me mendacia.
Woe to them! for they have started aside from me: they are cowards; for they have sinned against me: yet I redeemed them, but they spoke falsehoods against me.
14 Et non clamaverunt ad me in corde suo, sed ululabant in cubilibus suis: super triticum et vinum ruminabant, recesserunt a me.
And their hearts did not cry to me, but they howled on their beds: they pined for oil and wine.
15 Et ego erudivi eos, et confortavi brachia eorum: et in me cogitaverunt malitiam.
They were instructed by me, and I strengthened their arms; and they devised evils against me.
16 Reversi sunt ut essent absque iugo: facti sunt quasi arcus dolosus: cadent in gladio principes eorum, a furore linguae suae. Ista subsannatio eorum in Terra Aegypti.
They turned aside to that which is not, they became as a bent bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, by reason of the unbridled state of their tongue: this is their setting at nought in the land of Egypt.
