Osee Propheta 8
1 In gutture tuo sit tuba quasi aquila super domum Domini: pro eo quod transgressi sunt foedus meum, et legem meam praevaricati sunt.
Set the trumpet to thy mouth. As an eagle he comes against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
2 Me invocabunt: Deus meus cognovimus te Israel.
They shall cry to me, My God, we, Israel know thee.
3 Proiecit Israel bonum, inimicus persequetur eum.
Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy shall pursue him.
4 Ipsi regnaverunt, et non ex me: principes extiterunt, et non cognovi: argentum suum, et aurum suum fecerunt sibi idola, ut interirent:
They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made rulers, and I knew it not. They have made themselves idols of their silver and their gold, that they may be cut off.
5 proiectus est vitulus tuus Samaria, iratus est furor meus in eos. usquequo non poterunt emundari?
He has cast off thy calf, O Samaria. My anger is kindled against them. How long will it be ere they attain to innocence?
6 Quia ex Israel et ipse est: artifex fecit illum, et non est Deus: quoniam in aranearum telas erit vitulus Samariae.
For even this is from Israel: the workman made it, and it is no God. Yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 Quia ventum seminabunt, et turbinem metent: culmus stans non est in eo, germen non faciet farinam: quod et si fecerit, alieni comedent eam.
For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The blade shall yield no meal. If so be it yields, strangers shall swallow it up.
8 Devoratus est Israel: nunc factus est in nationibus quasi vas immundum.
Israel is swallowed up. They are now among the nations as a vessel in which no man delights.
9 Quia ipsi ascenderunt ad Assur, onager solitarius sibi: Ephraim munera dederunt amatoribus.
For they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey alone by himself. Ephraim has hired lovers.
10 Sed et cum mercede conduxerint nationes, nunc congregabo eos: et quiescent paulisper ab onere regis, et principum.
Yea, though they hire among the nations, I will now gather them, and they shall begin to be diminished because of the burden of the king of rulers.
11 Quia multiplicavit Ephraim altaria ad peccandum: factae sunt ei arae in delictum.
Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, altars have been to him for sinning.
12 Scribam ei multiplices leges meas, quae velut alienae computatae sunt.
I wrote for him the multitude of my law, but they are counted as a strange thing.
13 Hostias offerent, immolabunt carnes, et comedent, et Dominus non suscipiet eas: nunc recordabitur iniquitatis eorum, et visitabit peccata eorum: ipsi in Aegyptum convertentur.
As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it, but Jehovah does not accept them. He will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins. They shall return to Egypt.
14 Et oblitus est Israel factoris sui, et aedificavit delubra: et Iuda multiplicavit urbes munitas: et mittam ignem in civitates eius, et devorabit aedes illius.
For Israel has forgotten his maker, and built palaces. And Judah has multiplied fortified cities. But I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof.
