Osee Propheta 4
1 audite verbum Domini filii Israhel quia iudicium Domino cum habitatoribus terrae non est enim veritas et non est misericordia et non est scientia Dei in terra
Hear the word of Jehovah, ye sons of Israel, for Jehovah has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 maledictum et mendacium et homicidium et furtum et adulterium inundaverunt et sanguis sanguinem tetigit
There is nothing but swearing and breaking faith, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery. They break out, and blood touches blood.
3 propter hoc lugebit terra et infirmabitur omnis qui habitat in ea in bestia agri et in volucre caeli sed et pisces maris congregabuntur
Therefore the land shall mourn, and everyone who dwells in it shall languish with the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens. Yea, the fishes of the sea shall also be taken away.
4 verumtamen unusquisque non iudicet et non arguatur vir populus enim tuus sicut hii qui contradicunt sacerdoti
Yet, let no man strive, nor let any man reprove, for thy people are as those who strive with the priest.
5 et corrues hodie et corruet etiam propheta tecum nocte tacere feci matrem tuam
And thou shall stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with thee in the night. And I will destroy thy mother.
6 conticuit populus meus eo quod non habuerit scientiam quia tu scientiam reppulisti repellam te ne sacerdotio fungaris mihi et oblita es legis Dei tui obliviscar filiorum tuorum et ego
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because thou have rejected knowledge, I also will reject thee, that thou shall be no priest to me. Since thou have forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy sons.
7 secundum multitudinem eorum sic peccaverunt mihi gloriam eorum in ignominiam commutabo
As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me. I will change their glory into shame.
8 peccata populi mei comedent et ad iniquitatem eorum sublevabunt animas eorum
They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
9 et erit sicut populus sic sacerdos et visitabo super eum vias eius et cogitationes eius reddam ei
And it shall be, like people, like priest. And I will punish them for their ways, and will requite them their doings.
10 et comedent et non saturabuntur fornicati sunt et non cessaverunt quoniam Dominum reliquerunt in non custodiendo
And they shall eat, and not have enough. They shall play the harlot, and shall not increase, because they have left off taking heed to Jehovah.
11 fornicatio et vinum et ebrietas aufert cor
Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the understanding.
12 populus meus in ligno suo interrogavit et baculus eius adnuntiavit ei spiritus enim fornicationum decepit eos et fornicati sunt a Deo suo
My people ask counsel at their stock, and their staff declares to them, for the spirit of whoredom has caused them to err, and they have played the harlot, departing from under their God.
13 super capita montium sacrificabant et super colles accendebant thymiama subtus quercum et populum et terebinthum quia bona erat umbra eius ideo fornicabuntur filiae vestrae et sponsae vestrae adulterae erunt
They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and terebinths, because the shadow of it is good. Therefore your daughters play the harlot, and your brides commit adultery.
14 non visitabo super filias vestras cum fuerint fornicatae et super sponsas vestras cum adulteraverint quoniam ipsi cum meretricibus versabantur et cum effeminatis sacrificabant et populus non intellegens vapulabit
I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot, nor your brides when they commit adultery. For themselves go apart with harlots, and they sacrifice with the prostitutes. And the people who do not understand shall be overthrown.
15 si fornicaris tu Israhel non delinquat saltim Iuda et nolite ingredi in Galgala et ne ascenderitis in Bethaven neque iuraveritis vivit Dominus
Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend, and come not ye to Gilgal, nor go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, As Jehovah lives.
16 quoniam sicut vacca lasciviens declinavit Israhel nunc pascet eos Dominus quasi agnum in latitudine
For Israel has behaved himself stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. Now Jehovah will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
17 particeps idolorum Ephraim dimitte eum
Ephraim is joined to idols, let him alone.
18 separatum est convivium eorum fornicatione fornicati sunt dilexerunt adferre ignominiam protectores eius
Their drink has become sour. They play the harlot continually. Her rulers dearly love shame.
19 ligavit spiritus eam in alis suis et confundentur a sacrificiis suis
The wind has wrapped her up in its wings, and they shall be put to shame because of their sacrifices.
