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 a word of YHWH, sons of Israel, For a strife [is] to YHWH with inhabitants of the land, For there is no truth, nor kindness, Nor knowledge of God in the land;
2 maledictum et mendacium et homicidium et furtum et adulterium inundaverunt et sanguis sanguinem tetigit
Swearing, and lying, and murdering, And stealing, and committing adultery—have increased, And blood has touched against 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 mourns, And every dweller is weak in it, With the beast of the field, And with the bird of the heavens, And the fishes of the sea—they are removed.
4 verumtamen unusquisque non iudicet et non arguatur vir populus enim tuus sicut hii qui contradicunt sacerdoti
Only, let no one strive, nor reprove a man, And your people [are] as those striving with a priest.
5 et corrues hodie et corruet etiam propheta tecum nocte tacere feci matrem tuam
And you have stumbled in the day, And a prophet has also stumbled with you in the night, And I have cut off your 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 have been cut off for lack of knowledge, Because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being priest to Me, And you forget the Law of your God—I forget your sons, I also!
7 secundum multitudinem eorum sic peccaverunt mihi gloriam eorum in ignominiam commutabo
According to their abundance so they sinned against Me, I change their glory into shame.
8 peccata populi mei comedent et ad iniquitatem eorum sublevabunt animas eorum
The sin of My people they eat, And to their iniquity lift up their soul.
9 et erit sicut populus sic sacerdos et visitabo super eum vias eius et cogitationes eius reddam ei
And it has been, like people, like priest, And I have charged on it its ways, And its habitual doings I return to it.
10 et comedent et non saturabuntur fornicati sunt et non cessaverunt quoniam Dominum reliquerunt in non custodiendo
And they have eaten, and are not satisfied, They have gone whoring, and do not increase, For they have left off taking heed to YHWH.
11 fornicatio et vinum et ebrietas aufert cor
Whoredom, and wine, and new wine, take 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 at its staff asks and its rod declares to it, For a spirit of whoredoms has caused to err, And they go 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
On tops of the mountains they sacrifice, And on the hills they make incense, Under oak, and poplar, and terebinth, For good [is] its shade.
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
Therefore your daughters commit whoredom, And your spouses commit adultery, I do not see after your daughters when they commit whoredom, And after your spouses when they commit adultery, For they with the harlots are separated, And with the whores they sacrifice, A people that does not understand kicks.
15 si fornicaris tu Israhel non delinquat saltim Iuda et nolite ingredi in Galgala et ne ascenderitis in Bethaven neque iuraveritis vivit Dominus
Though you [are] a harlot, O Israel, Do not let Judah become guilty, And do not come to Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-Aven, Nor swear, YHWH lives.
16 quoniam sicut vacca lasciviens declinavit Israhel nunc pascet eos Dominus quasi agnum in latitudine
For Israel has turned aside as a stubborn heifer, Now YHWH feeds them as a lamb in a large place.
17 particeps idolorum Ephraim dimitte eum
Ephraim is joined to idols, leave him alone.
18 separatum est convivium eorum fornicatione fornicati sunt dilexerunt adferre ignominiam protectores eius
Sour [is] their drink, They have gone whoring diligently, Her protectors have thoroughly loved shame.
19 ligavit spiritus eam in alis suis et confundentur a sacrificiis suis
Wind has distressed her with its wings, And they are ashamed of their sacrifices!”
