Osee Propheta 10
1 vitis frondosa Israhel fructus adaequatus est ei secundum multitudinem fructus sui multiplicavit altaria iuxta ubertatem terrae suae exuberavit simulacris
“Israel [is] an empty vine, He makes fruit like to himself, According to the abundance of his fruit, He has multiplied for the altars, According to the goodness of his land, They have made good standing-pillars.
2 divisum est cor eorum nunc interibunt ipse confringet simulacra eorum depopulabitur aras eorum
Their heart has been divided, now they are guilty, He breaks down their altars, He destroys their standing-pillars.
3 quia nunc dicent non est rex nobis non enim timemus Dominum et rex quid faciet nobis
For now they say: We have no king, Because we have not feared YHWH, And the king—what does he do for us?
4 loquimini verba visionis inutilis et ferietis foedus et germinabit quasi amaritudo iudicium super sulcos agri
They have spoken words, To swear falsehood in making a covenant, And flourished as a poisonous herb has judgment, on the furrows of a field.
5 vaccas Bethaven coluerunt habitatores Samariae quia luxit super eum populus eius et aeditui eius super eum exultaverunt in gloria eius quia migravit ab eo
For the inhabitants of Samaria fear the calves of Beth-Aven, Surely its people have mourned on account of it, And its priests leap about on account of it, Because of its glory, for it has removed from it,
6 siquidem et ipse in Assur delatus est munus regi ultori confusio Ephraim capiet et confundetur Israhel in voluntate sua
Also, it is carried to Asshur, a present to a warlike king, Ephraim receives shame, And Israel is ashamed of its own counsel.
7 transire fecit Samaria regem suum quasi spumam super faciem aquae
Samaria is cut off! Its king [is] as wrath on the face of the waters.
8 et disperdentur excelsa idoli peccatum Israhel lappa et tribulus ascendet super aras eorum et dicent montibus operite nos et collibus cadite super nos
And high places of Aven have been destroyed, the sin of Israel. Thorn and bramble go up on their altars, And they have said to hills, Cover us, And to heights, Fall on us.
9 ex diebus Gabaa peccavit Israhel ibi steterunt non conprehendet eos in Gabaa proelium super filios iniquitatis
From the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel, There they have stood, Battle does not overtake them in Gibeah, Because of sons of perverseness.
10 iuxta desiderium meum corripiam eos congregabuntur super eos populi cum corripientur propter duas iniquitates suas
When I desire, then I bind them, And peoples have gathered against them, When they bind themselves to their two iniquities.
11 Ephraim vitula docta diligere trituram et ego transivi super pulchritudinem colli eius ascendam super Ephraim arabit Iudas confringet sibi sulcos Iacob
And Ephraim [is] a trained heifer—loving to thresh, And I have passed over on the goodness of its neck, I cause [one] to ride Ephraim, Judah plows, Jacob harrows for him.
12 seminate vobis in iustitia metite in ore misericordiae innovate vobis novale tempus autem requirendi Dominum cum venerit qui docebit vos iustitiam
Sow for yourselves in righteousness, Reap according to loving-kindness, Till for yourselves tillage of knowledge, To seek YHWH, Until He comes and shows righteousness to you.
13 arastis impietatem iniquitatem messuistis comedistis frugem mendacii quia confisus es in viis tuis in multitudine fortium tuorum
You have plowed wickedness, Perversity you have reaped, You have eaten the fruit of lying, For you have trusted in your way, In the abundance of your might.
14 consurget tumultus in populo tuo et omnes munitiones tuae vastabuntur sicut vastatus est Salman a domo eius qui iudicavit Baal in die proelii matre super filios adlisa
And a tumult rises among your people, And all your fortresses are spoiled, As the spoiling of Shalman of Beth-Arbel, In a day of battle, Mother against sons dashed in pieces.
15 sic fecit vobis Bethel a facie malitiae nequitiarum vestrarum
Thus has Beth-El done to you, Because of the evil of your wickedness, In the dawn a king of Israel is utterly cut off!”
