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. [He cometh] as an eagle against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and rebelled against my law.

2 Me invocabunt: Deus meus cognovimus te Israel.

They shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee; [we], Israel.

3 Proiecit Israel bonum, inimicus persequetur eum.

Israel hath cast off 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 princes, and I knew it not; of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.

5 proiectus est vitulus tuus Samaria, iratus est furor meus in eos. usquequo non poterunt emundari?

Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be incapable of purity?

6 Quia ex Israel et ipse est: artifex fecit illum, et non est Deus: quoniam in aranearum telas erit vitulus Samariae.

For from Israel is this also: — a workman made it, and it is no God: for 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 have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; should it sprout, it would yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.

8 Devoratus est Israel: nunc factus est in nationibus quasi vas immundum.

Israel is swallowed up: now are they become among the nations as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.

9 Quia ipsi ascenderunt ad Assur, onager solitarius sibi: Ephraim munera dederunt amatoribus.

For they are gone up [to] Assyria [as] a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

10 Sed et cum mercede conduxerint nationes, nunc congregabo eos: et quiescent paulisper ab onere regis, et principum.

Although they hire among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall begin to be straitened under the burden of the king of princes.

11 Quia multiplicavit Ephraim altaria ad peccandum: factae sunt ei arae in delictum.

Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.

12 Scribam ei multiplices leges meas, quae velut alienae computatae sunt.

I have prescribed unto him the manifold things of my law: 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.

They sacrifice flesh [for] the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; Jehovah hath no delight in them. Now will he 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 hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
