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 the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because [there is] no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 maledictum et mendacium et homicidium et furtum et adulterium inundaverunt et sanguis sanguinem tetigit
By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth 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 shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall 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 reprove another: for thy people [are] as they that strive with the priest.
5 et corrues hodie et corruet etiam propheta tecum nocte tacere feci matrem tuam
Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall 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 hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
7 secundum multitudinem eorum sic peccaverunt mihi gloriam eorum in ignominiam commutabo
As they were increased, so they sinned against me: [therefore] will I change their glory into shame.
8 peccata populi mei comedent et ad iniquitatem eorum sublevabunt animas eorum
They eat up the sin of my people, and they 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 there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
10 et comedent et non saturabuntur fornicati sunt et non cessaverunt quoniam Dominum reliquerunt in non custodiendo
For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.
11 fornicatio et vinum et ebrietas aufert cor
Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
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 stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused [them] to err, and they have gone a whoring 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 elms, because the shadow thereof [is] good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall 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 commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people [that] doth not understand shall fall.
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 unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.
16 quoniam sicut vacca lasciviens declinavit Israhel nunc pascet eos Dominus quasi agnum in latitudine
For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD 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 is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers [with] shame do love, Give ye.
19 ligavit spiritus eam in alis suis et confundentur a sacrificiis suis
The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
