Osee Propheta 13
1 loquente Ephraim horror invasit Israhel et deliquit in Baal et mortuus est
Once when Ephraim spake, there was trembling; he was exalted in Israel; But he offended through Baal, and 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
And now they sin more and more, And have made to themselves molten images; Of their silver by their skill have they made idols; All of it is the work of artificers. They say concerning them, Whoever will sacrifice, let him 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 shall they be as the morning cloud, And as the early dew, which passeth away; As chaff driven with a whirlwind from the thrashing-floor, And as smoke from the chimney.
4 ego autem Dominus Deus tuus ex terra Aegypti et Deum absque me nescies et salvator non est praeter me
Yet I, Jehovah, have been thy God from the land of Egypt, And thou hast known no God but me; Yea, there was no saviour besides me.
5 ego cognovi te in deserto in terra solitudinis
I cared for thee in the desert, In the land of great drought.
6 iuxta pascua sua et adimpleti sunt et saturati elevaverunt cor suum et obliti sunt mei
As they were fed, so they were filled; They were filled, and their heart was lifted up; Therefore they forgot me.
7 et ero eis quasi leaena sicut pardus in via Assyriorum
Therefore have I become to them as a lion; As a leopard I watch for them in the way;
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 as a bear bereaved of her whelps, And I will rend the caul of their heart, And there will I devour them as a lioness; The wild beast shall tear them.
9 perditio tua Israhel tantummodo in me auxilium tuum
It hath been thy destruction, O Israel, That against me, against thy help, thou hast rebelled!
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 now thy king? Let him save thee in all thy cities! And where thy judges, In regard to whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes!
11 dabo tibi regem in furore meo et auferam in indignatione mea
I gave thee a king in mine anger, And I have taken him away in my wrath;
12 conligata est iniquitas Ephraim absconditum peccatum eius
the iniquity of Ephraim is treasured up; His guilt is laid up in store.
13 dolores parturientis venient ei ipse filius non sapiens nunc enim non stabit in contritione filiorum
The pangs of a travailing woman shall come upon him; He is an unwise son, For else would he not tarry long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
14 de manu mortis liberabo eos de morte redimam eos ero mors tua o mors ero morsus tuus inferne consolatio abscondita est ab oculis meis (Sheol h7585)
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death; O death, where is thy plague? O grave, where is thy destruction? Repentance is hidden from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
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 be fruitful among his brethren, An east wind shall come, A wind of Jehovah shall come up from the desert, And his spring shall become dry, And his fountain shall be dried up, And the treasure of all his pleasant vessels shall be spoiled.
16 pereat Samaria quoniam ad amaritudinem concitavit Dominum suum in gladio pereat parvuli eorum elidantur et fetae eius discindantur
Samaria shall suffer for her guilt, For she hath rebelled against her God. They shall fall by the sword; Their infants shall be dashed in pieces, And their women with child shall be ripped up.
