Osee Propheta 11
1 sicuti mane transit pertransiit rex Israhel quia puer Israhel et dilexi eum et ex Aegypto vocavi filium meum
When Israel was yet young, then I loved him, and out of Egypt did I call my son.
2 vocaverunt eos sic abierunt a facie eorum Baalim immolabant et simulacris sacrificabant
The [prophets] called them; but the more they went from them: unto the Be'alim would they sacrifice, and to the graven images would they burn incense.
3 et ego quasi nutricius Ephraim portabam eos in brachiis meis et nescierunt quod curarem eos
Yet I myself appointed a leader for Ephraim, who took them up in his arms; but they would not acknowledge 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
With human cords I ever drew them forward, with leading-strings of love: and I was to them as those that lift off the yoke from their jaws, and I held out unto them food.
5 non revertetur in terram Aegypti et Assur ipse rex eius quoniam noluerunt converti
He should not return unto the land of Egypt: yet [now] is the Assyrian his king; because they refused to repent.
6 coepit gladius in civitatibus eius et consumet electos eius et comedet capita eorum
And the sword shall fall on his cities, and shall make an end of his boughs, and consume them, because of their [evil] counsels.
7 et populus meus pendebit ad reditum meum iugum autem inponetur ei simul quod non auferetur
For my people are only bent on backsliding from me; and though upward they call them, they altogether will not elevate themselves.
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 shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I surrender thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I change thee as Zeboyim? turned is my heart within me, all my compassion is enkindled together.
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 execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not again destroy Ephraim; for God am I, and not man, the Holy One in the midst of thee, and I will not come with an enemy's hatred.
10 post Dominum ambulabunt quasi leo rugiet quia ipse rugiet et formidabunt filii maris
They shall follow after the Lord, when he will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children shall hasten together from the west;
11 et avolabunt quasi avis ex Aegypto et quasi columba de terra Assyriorum et conlocabo eos in domibus suis dicit Dominus
They shall hasten together as birds out of Egypt, and as doves out of the land of Assyria: and I will cause them to dwell in their houses, saith the Lord.
12 circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim et in dolo domus Israhel Iudas autem testis descendit cum Deo et cum sanctis fidelis
With lies hath Ephraim encompassed me about, and with deceit, the house of Israel; but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful to the Holy One.
