Osee Propheta 13
1 loquente Ephraim horror invasit Israhel et deliquit in Baal et mortuus est
When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but when he became guilty through Baal, he died.
2 et nunc addiderunt ad peccandum feceruntque sibi conflatile de argento suo quasi similitudinem idolorum factura artificum totum est his ipsi dicunt immolate homines vitulos adorantes
Now they sin more and more, and have made themselves molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen. They say of them, ‘They offer human sacrifice and kiss the calves.’
3 idcirco erunt quasi nubes matutina et sicut ros matutinus praeteriens sicut pulvis turbine raptus ex area et sicut fumus de fumario
Therefore they will be like the morning mist, like the dew that passes away early, like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, and like the smoke out of the chimney.
4 ego autem Dominus Deus tuus ex terra Aegypti et Deum absque me nescies et salvator non est praeter me
“Yet I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt; and you shall acknowledge no god but me, and besides me there is no savior.
5 ego cognovi te in deserto in terra solitudinis
I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
6 iuxta pascua sua et adimpleti sunt et saturati elevaverunt cor suum et obliti sunt mei
According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten me.
7 et ero eis quasi leaena sicut pardus in via Assyriorum
Therefore I am like a lion to them. Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.
8 occurram eis quasi ursa raptis catulis et disrumpam interiora iecoris eorum et consumam eos ibi quasi leo bestia agri scindet eos
I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs, and will tear the covering of their heart. There I will devour them like a lioness. The wild animal will tear them.
9 perditio tua Israhel tantummodo in me auxilium tuum
You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me, against your helper.
10 ubi est rex tuus maxime nunc salvet te in omnibus urbibus tuis et iudices tui de quibus dixisti da mihi regem et principes
Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? And your judges, of whom you said, ‘Give me a king and princes’?
11 dabo tibi regem in furore meo et auferam in indignatione mea
I have given you a king in my anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.
12 conligata est iniquitas Ephraim absconditum peccatum eius
The guilt of Ephraim is stored up. His sin is stored up.
13 dolores parturientis venient ei ipse filius non sapiens nunc enim non stabit in contritione filiorum
The sorrows of a travailing woman will come on him. He is an unwise son, for when it is time, he does not come to the opening of the womb.
15 quia ipse inter fratres dividet adducet urentem ventum Dominus de deserto ascendentem et siccabit venas eius et desolabit fontem eius et ipse diripiet thesaurum omnis vasis desiderabilis
Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come, the breath of the LORD coming up from the wilderness; and his spring will become dry, and his fountain will be dried up. He will plunder the storehouse of treasure.
16 pereat Samaria quoniam ad amaritudinem concitavit Dominum suum in gladio pereat parvuli eorum elidantur et fetae eius discindantur
Samaria will bear her guilt, for she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women will be ripped open.”
