Osee Propheta 14
1 convertere Israhel ad Dominum Deum tuum quoniam corruisti in iniquitate tua
Return thou, O Israel, unto Yahweh thy God, —for thou hast stumbled by thine 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 words, and return to Yahweh: say unto him—Wholly, shalt thou take away iniquity, Accept, then, with favour, and we will make good the boldness 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, shall not save us, Upon horses, will we not ride, neither will we say any more—Our god! to the work of our own hands! For, in thee, shall the fatherless, find compassion.
4 sanabo contritiones eorum diligam eos spontanee quia aversus est furor meus ab eo
I will heal their apostacy, I will love them freely, —for mine anger, hath turned, from them.
5 ero quasi ros Israhel germinabit quasi lilium et erumpet radix eius ut Libani
I will become as the dew unto Israel, he shall break forth as the lily, —and he shall strike his roots as Lebanon:
6 ibunt rami eius et erit quasi oliva gloria eius et odor eius ut Libani
His branches, shall spread, that, like an olive-tree, may be his fresh beauty, —and his fragrance, like Lebanon.
7 convertentur sedentes in umbra eius vivent tritico et germinabunt quasi vinea memoriale eius sicut vinum Libani
They who dwell in his shade shall again show life like the corn, and break forth as the vine, —and, the remembrance of him, shall 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
Ephraim [saith] —What to me any more are idols? I, have answered, and have closely observed him, I, am like a fir-tree that is green, From 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 take knowledge of them? For, straightforward, are the ways of Yahweh, and, the righteous, shall travel therein, but, transgressors, shall stumble therein.
