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 would heal Israel, then is the iniquity of Ephraim discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood: and the thief entereth in, [and] the troop of robbers spoileth without.
2 Et ne forte dicant in cordibus suis omnem malitiam eorum me recordatum: nunc circumdederunt eos adinventiones suae, coram facie mea factae sunt.
And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now have their own doings beset them about; they are before my face.
3 In malitia sua laetificaverunt regem: et in mendaciis suis principes.
They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the 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; they are as an oven heated by the baker; he ceaseth to stir [the fire], from the kneading of the dough until it be leavened.
5 Dies regis nostri: coeperunt principes furere a vino: extendit manum suam cum illusoribus.
On the day of our king the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
6 Quia applicuerunt quasi clibanum cor suum, cum insidiaretur eis: tota nocte dormivit coquens eos, mane ipse succensus quasi ignis flammae.
For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming 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 hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
8 Ephraim in populis ipse commiscebatur: Ephraim factus est subcinericius panis, qui non reversatur.
Ephraim, he mixeth himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9 Comederunt alieni robur eius, et ipse nescivit: sed et cani effusi sunt in eo, et ipse ignoravit.
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth [it] not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth [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 doth testify to his face: yet they have not returned unto the LORD their God, nor sought him, for all this.
11 Et factus est Ephraim quasi columba seducta non habens cor: Aegyptum invocabant, ad Assyrios abierunt.
And Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding: they call unto Egypt, they go to Assyria.
12 Et cum profecti fuerint, expandam super eos rete meum: quasi volucrem caeli detraham eos, caedam eos secundum auditionem coetus eorum.
When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven: I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
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 unto them! for they have wandered from me; destruction unto them! for they have trespassed against me: though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies 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 they have not cried unto me with their heart, but they howl upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, they rebel against me.
15 Et ego erudivi eos, et confortavi brachia eorum: et in me cogitaverunt malitiam.
Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief 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 return, but not to [him that is] on high; they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
