Osee Propheta 14
1 convertere Israhel ad Dominum Deum tuum quoniam corruisti in iniquitate tua
Return, O Israel, even unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast stumbled through thy iniquity.
2 tollite vobiscum verba et convertimini ad Dominum dicite ei omnem aufer iniquitatem et accipe bonum et reddemus vitulos labiorum nostrorum
Take with you swords, and return to the Lord: say unto him, “Pardon all [our] iniquity, and accept [our return to] good; and let us repay the steers [of sacrifice] with [the prayer 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
Asshur shall not help us; upon horses will we not ride: and we will no more say, Ye are our gods, to the work of our hands; for in thee alone the fatherless obtaineth mercy.”
4 sanabo contritiones eorum diligam eos spontanee quia aversus est furor meus ab eo
I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from them.
5 ero quasi ros Israhel germinabit quasi lilium et erumpet radix eius ut Libani
I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall bloom as the lily; and he shall strike his roots as [the forests of] Lebanon.
6 ibunt rami eius et erit quasi oliva gloria eius et odor eius ut Libani
His suckers shall spread out, and his beauty shall be as that of the olive-tree, and his smell as that of the Lebanon.
7 convertentur sedentes in umbra eius vivent tritico et germinabunt quasi vinea memoriale eius sicut vinum Libani
They shall return that sat under his shade; they shall revive as corn, and bloom as the vine: the scent of which shall be as that of 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
Ephraim [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will observe him; I will be [to him] like a green fir-tree; through me is thy fruit found.
9 quis sapiens et intelleget ista intellegens et sciet haec quia rectae viae Domini et iusti ambulabunt in eis praevaricatores vero corruent in eis
Who is wise, that he may understand these things? intelligent, that he may know them? for righteous are the ways of the Lord; and the just shall walk in them; but the transgressors will stumble through them.
