Osee Propheta 11
1 sicuti mane transit pertransiit rex Israhel quia puer Israhel et dilexi eum et ex Aegypto vocavi filium meum
Just as the morning passes, so has the king of Israel passed by. For Israel was a child and I loved him; and out of Egypt I called my son.
2 vocaverunt eos sic abierunt a facie eorum Baalim immolabant et simulacris sacrificabant
They called them, and so they departed before their face. They offered victims to the Baals, and they sacrificed to graven images.
3 et ego quasi nutricius Ephraim portabam eos in brachiis meis et nescierunt quod curarem eos
And I was like a foster father to Ephraim. I carried them in my arms. And they did not know that I healed them.
4 in funiculis Adam traham eos in vinculis caritatis et ero eis quasi exaltans iugum super maxillas eorum et declinavi ad eum ut vesceretur
I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love. And I will be to them like one who raises the yoke over their jaws. And I will reach down to him so that he may eat.
5 non revertetur in terram Aegypti et Assur ipse rex eius quoniam noluerunt converti
He will not return to the land of Egypt, but Assur himself will be the king over him, because they were not willing to be converted.
6 coepit gladius in civitatibus eius et consumet electos eius et comedet capita eorum
The sword has begun in his cities, and it will consume his elect and devour their heads.
7 et populus meus pendebit ad reditum meum iugum autem inponetur ei simul quod non auferetur
And my people will long for my return. But a yoke will be imposed on them together, which will not be taken away.
8 quomodo dabo te Ephraim protegam te Israhel quomodo dabo te sicut Adama ponam te ut Seboim conversum est in me cor meum pariter conturbata est paenitudo mea
How will I provide for you, Ephraim; how will I protect you, Israel? How will I provide for you as for Adam; will I set you like Zeboiim? My heart has changed within me; together with my regret, it has been stirred up.
9 non faciam furorem irae meae non convertar ut disperdam Ephraim quoniam Deus ego et non homo in medio tui Sanctus et non ingrediar civitatem
I will not act on the fury of my wrath. I will not turn back to utterly destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, the Divine in your midst, and I will not advance upon the city.
10 post Dominum ambulabunt quasi leo rugiet quia ipse rugiet et formidabunt filii maris
They will walk after the Lord; he will roar like a lion. For he himself will roar, and the sons of the sea will dread.
11 et avolabunt quasi avis ex Aegypto et quasi columba de terra Assyriorum et conlocabo eos in domibus suis dicit Dominus
And they will fly like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove from the land of the Assyrians. And I will arrange them in their own houses, says the Lord.
12 circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim et in dolo domus Israhel Iudas autem testis descendit cum Deo et cum sanctis fidelis
Ephraim has besieged me with denials, and the house of Israel with deceit. But Judah went down as a witness before God and the holy ones of faith.
