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 feeds on wind, and chases the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and desolation. 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 also has a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his deeds he will repay 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 contended with God.
4 et invaluit ad angelum et confortatus est flevit et rogavit eum in Bethel invenit eum et ibi locutus est nobiscum
Indeed, he struggled with the angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication to him. He found him at Bethel, and there he spoke with us—
5 et Dominus Deus exercituum Dominus memoriale eius
even the LORD, the God of Hosts. The LORD is his name of renown!
6 et tu ad Deum tuum converteris misericordiam et iudicium custodi et spera in Deo tuo semper
Therefore turn to your God. Keep kindness and justice, and wait continually for your God.
7 Chanaan in manu eius statera dolosa calumniam dilexit
A merchant has dishonest scales in his hand. He loves to defraud.
8 et dixit Ephraim verumtamen dives effectus sum inveni idolum mihi omnes labores mei non invenient mihi iniquitatem quam peccavi
Ephraim said, “Surely I have become rich. I have found myself wealth. In all my wealth they won’t find in me any iniquity that is 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 your God from the land of Egypt. I will yet again make you 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 to the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets I have used parables.
11 si Galaad idolum tamen frustra erant in Galgal bubus immolantes nam et altaria eorum quasi acervi super sulcos agri
If Gilead is wicked, surely they are worthless. In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls. Indeed, their altars are like heaps in the furrows of the field.
12 fugit Iacob in regionem Syriae et servivit Israhel in uxore et in uxore servavit
Jacob fled into the country of Aram. Israel served to get a wife. For a wife he tended flocks and herds.
13 in propheta autem eduxit Dominus Israhel de Aegypto et in propheta servatus est
By a prophet the LORD brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved.
14 ad iracundiam me provocavit Ephraim in amaritudinibus suis et sanguis eius super eum veniet et obprobrium eius restituet ei Dominus suus
Ephraim has bitterly provoked anger. Therefore his blood will be left on him, and his Lord will repay his contempt.
