Osee Propheta 1

1 verbum Domini quod factum est ad Osee filium Beeri in diebus Oziae Ioatham Ahaz Ezechiae regum Iuda et in diebus Hieroboam filii Ioas regis Israhel

The word of the Lord that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel.

2 principium loquendi Dominum in Osee et dixit Dominus ad Osee vade sume tibi uxorem fornicationum et filios fornicationum quia fornicans fornicabitur terra a Domino

The beginning of the Lord’s conversation with Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea: “Go, take to yourself a wife of fornications, and make for yourself sons of fornications, because, by fornicating, the land will fornicate away from the Lord.”

3 et abiit et accepit Gomer filiam Debelaim et concepit et peperit filium

And he went out and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived and bore him a son.

4 et dixit Dominus ad eum voca nomen eius Hiezrahel quoniam adhuc modicum et visitabo sanguinem Hiezrahel super domum Hieu et quiescere faciam regnum domus Israhel

And the Lord said to him: “Call his name Jezreel because, after a little while, I will visit the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will put the kingdom of the house of Israel to rest.

5 et in illa die conteram arcum Israhel in valle Hiezrahel

And in that day, I will crush the stronghold of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.”

6 et concepit adhuc et peperit filiam et dixit ei voca nomen eius Absque misericordia quia non addam ultra misereri domui Israhel sed oblivione obliviscar eorum

And after a while, she conceived and bore a daughter. And he said to him: “Call her name, Without Mercy, for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, but I will utterly forget them.

7 et domui Iuda miserebor et salvabo eos in Domino Deo suo et non salvabo eos in arcu et gladio et in bello et in equis et in equitibus

Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them by the Lord their God. And I will not save them by bow and sword and battle and horses and horsemen.”

8 et ablactavit eam quae erat absque misericordia et concepit et peperit filium

And she weaned her, who was called Without Mercy. And she conceived and bore a son.

9 et dixit voca nomen eius Non populus meus quia vos non populus meus et ego non ero vester

And he said: “Call his name, Not My People, for you are not my people, and I will not be yours.

10 et erit numerus filiorum Israhel quasi harena maris quae sine mensura est et non numerabitur et erit in loco ubi dicetur eis non populus meus vos dicetur eis filii Dei viventis

And the number of the sons of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which is without measure and cannot be numbered. And in the place where it will be said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ this will happen: it will be said to them, ‘You are the sons of the living God.’

11 et congregabuntur filii Iuda et filii Israhel pariter et ponent sibimet caput unum et ascendent de terra quia magnus dies Hiezrahel

And the sons of Judah, and the sons of Israel, will be gathered together. And they will place over themselves one head, and they will rise up from the earth, for great is the day of Jezreel.”
