Osee Propheta 12

1 Ephraim pascit ventum et sequitur aestum tota die mendacium et vastitatem multiplicat et foedus cum Assyriis iniit et oleum in Aegyptum ferebat

Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he continually multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.

2 iudicium ergo Domini cum Iuda et visitatio super Iacob iuxta vias eius et iuxta adinventiones eius reddet ei

The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.

3 in utero subplantavit fratrem suum et in fortitudine sua directus est cum angelo

In the womb he took his brother by the heel; and in his manhood he had power with God:

4 et invaluit ad angelum et confortatus est flevit et rogavit eum in Bethel invenit eum et ibi locutus est nobiscum

yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him at Beth-el, and there he spake with us;

5 et Dominus Deus exercituum Dominus memoriale eius

even the LORD, the God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.

6 et tu ad Deum tuum converteris misericordiam et iudicium custodi et spera in Deo tuo semper

Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually.

7 Chanaan in manu eius statera dolosa calumniam dilexit

[He is] a trafficker, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.

8 et dixit Ephraim verumtamen dives effectus sum inveni idolum mihi omnes labores mei non invenient mihi iniquitatem quam peccavi

And Ephraim said, Surely I am become rich, I have found me wealth: in all my labours they shall find in me none iniquity that were sin.

9 et ego Dominus Deus tuus ex terra Aegypti adhuc sedere te faciam in tabernaculis sicut in diebus festivitatis

But I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt; I will yet again make thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast.

10 et locutus sum super prophetas et ego visionem multiplicavi et in manu prophetarum adsimilatus sum

I have also spoken unto the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets have I used similitudes.

11 si Galaad idolum tamen frustra erant in Galgal bubus immolantes nam et altaria eorum quasi acervi super sulcos agri

Is Gilead iniquity? they are altogether vanity; in Gilgal they sacrifice bullocks: yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the field.

12 fugit Iacob in regionem Syriae et servivit Israhel in uxore et in uxore servavit

And Jacob fled into the field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept [sheep].

13 in propheta autem eduxit Dominus Israhel de Aegypto et in propheta servatus est

And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.

14 ad iracundiam me provocavit Ephraim in amaritudinibus suis et sanguis eius super eum veniet et obprobrium eius restituet ei Dominus suus

Ephraim hath provoked to anger most bitterly: therefore shall his blood be left upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.
