Osee Propheta 9
1 Noli laetari Israel, noli exultare sicut populi: quia fornicatus es a Deo tuo, dilexisti mercedem super omnes areas tritici.
Rejoice not, O Israel, Exult not, like the nations! For thou committest fornication, forsaking thy God! Thou lovest hire on every corn-floor.
2 Area et torcular non pascet eos, et vinum mentietur eis.
The floor and the vat shall not feed them, And the new wine shall deceive them.
3 Non habitabunt in terra Domini: reversus est Ephraim in Aegyptum, et in Assyriis pollutum comedit.
They shall not dwell in the land of Jehovah; To Egypt shall Ephraim go back, And eat unclean things in Assyria.
4 Non libabunt Domino vinum, et non placebunt ei: sacrificia eorum quasi panis lugentium. omnes, qui comedent eum, contaminabuntur: quia panis eorum animae ipsorum, non intrabit in domum Domini.
They shall pour out no offerings of wine to Jehovah, Nor shall their sacrifices please him; They shall be to them as the bread of mourners; All that eat thereof shall be polluted. Their bread shall be for their own hunger; It shall not come into the house of Jehovah.
5 Quid facietis in die sollemni, in die festivitatis Domini?
What will ye do in the festal day, In the day of the feast of Jehovah?
6 Ecce enim profecti sunt a vastitate: Aegyptus congregabit eos, Memphis sepeliet eos: desiderabile argentum eorum urtica hereditabit, lappa in tabernaculis eorum.
For, behold, they go forth from a wasted land; Egypt shall gather them; Memphis shall bury them; The precious places of their silver, Nettles shall possess them; Thorns shall spring up in their habitations.
7 Venerunt dies visitationis, venerunt dies retributionis: scitote Israel stultum prophetam, insanum virum spiritualem, propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae, et multitudinem amentiae.
The days of visitation are come; The days of retribution are come— Israel shall know that the prophet was foolish, That the man of the spirit was mad— For the greatness of` thy iniquity, and thy great hatred.
8 Speculator Ephraim cum Deo meo: propheta laqueus ruinae factus est super omnes vias eius, insania in domo Dei eius.
If Ephraim seek an answer from my God, The prophet is as the snare of the fowler in all his ways, A net in the house of his God.
9 Profunde peccaverunt, sicut in diebus Gabaa: recordabitur iniquitatis eorum, et visitabit peccata eorum.
They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their iniquity; He will requite their sins.
10 Quasi uvas in deserto inveni Israel: quasi prima poma ficulneae in cacumine eius vidi patres eorum: ipsi autem intraverunt ad Beelphegor, et abalienati sunt in confusionem, et facti sunt abominabiles sicut ea, quae dilexerunt.
I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness; As the early fruit on the fig-tree, at its first time of bearing, I saw your fathers. But they went to Baal Peor, And separated themselves to shame, And had abominable idols according to their love.
11 Ephraim quasi avis avolavit, gloria eorum a partu, et ab utero, et a conceptu.
The glory of Ephraim shall fly away as a bird; They shall not bring forth, nor bear in the womb, nor conceive;
12 Quod et si enutrierint filios suos, absque liberis eos faciam in hominibus: sed et vae eis cum recessero ab eis.
Yea, if they bring up children, I will utterly bereave them; Yea, woe to them when I depart from them!
13 Ephraim, ut vidi, Tyrus erat fundata in pulchritudine: et Ephraim educet ad interfectorem filios suos.
I have seen Ephraim planted, like Tyre, in a rich pasture, Yet shall Ephraim bring out his children to the murderer.
14 Da eis Domine. Quid dabis eis? Da eis vulvam sine liberis, et ubera arentia.
Give them, O Jehovah! What wilt thou give them? Give them a miscarrying womb, And dry breasts!
15 Omnes nequitiae eorum in Galgal, quia ibi exosos habui eos: propter malitiam adinventionum eorum de domo mea eiiciam eos: non addam ut diligam eos, omnes principes eorum recedentes.
All their wickedness is in Gilgal; Yea, there have I hated them for the wickedness of their doings; I will drive them from my house; I will love them no more; All their princes are revolters.
16 Percussus est Ephraim, radix eorum exiccata est: fructum nequaquam facient. Quod et si genuerint, interficiam amantissima uteri eorum.
Ephraim is smitten; Their root is dried up; they shall bear no fruit; Yea, though they should beget children, I will destroy the beloved fruit of the womb.
17 Abiiciet eos Deus meus, quia non audierunt eum: et erunt vagi in nationibus.
My God shall cast them away, Because they have not hearkened to him, And they shall be wanderers among the nations.
