Osee Propheta 14

1 convertere Israhel ad Dominum Deum tuum quoniam corruisti in iniquitate tua

Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, for you have stumbled by your iniquity.

2 tollite vobiscum verba et convertimini ad Dominum dicite ei omnem aufer iniquitatem et accipe bonum et reddemus vitulos labiorum nostrorum

Bring your confessions and return to the LORD. Say to Him: “Take away all our iniquity and receive us graciously, that we may present the fruit of our lips.

3 Assur non salvabit nos super equum non ascendemus nec dicemus ultra dii nostri opera manuum nostrarum quia eius qui in te est misereberis pupilli

Assyria will not save us, nor will we ride on horses. We will never again say, ‘Our gods!’ to the work of our own hands. For in You the fatherless find compassion.”

4 sanabo contritiones eorum diligam eos spontanee quia aversus est furor meus ab eo

I will heal their apostasy; I will freely love them, for My anger has turned away from them.

5 ero quasi ros Israhel germinabit quasi lilium et erumpet radix eius ut Libani

I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like the lily and take root like the cedars of Lebanon.

6 ibunt rami eius et erit quasi oliva gloria eius et odor eius ut Libani

His shoots will sprout, and his splendor will be like the olive tree, his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.

7 convertentur sedentes in umbra eius vivent tritico et germinabunt quasi vinea memoriale eius sicut vinum Libani

They will return and dwell in his shade; they will grow grain and blossom like the vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.

8 Ephraim quid mihi ultra idola ego exaudiam et dirigam eum ego ut abietem virentem ex me fructus tuus inventus est

O Ephraim, what have I to do anymore with idols? It is I who answer and watch over him. I am like a flourishing cypress; your fruit comes from Me.

9 quis sapiens et intelleget ista intellegens et sciet haec quia rectae viae Domini et iusti ambulabunt in eis praevaricatores vero corruent in eis

Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, and the righteous walk in them but the rebellious stumble in them.
