Osee Propheta 5

1 audite hoc sacerdotes et adtendite domus Israhel et domus regis auscultate quia vobis iudicium est quoniam laqueus facti estis speculationi et rete expansum super Thabor

Hear this, O ye priests, and hearken, O house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king, for to you pertains the judgment. For ye have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

2 et victimas declinastis in profundum et ego eruditor omnium eorum

And the revolters have gone deep in making slaughter, but I am a rebuker of them all.

3 ego scio Ephraim et Israhel non est absconditus a me quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim contaminatus est Israhel

I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me. For now, O Ephraim, thou have played the harlot; Israel is defiled.

4 non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Dominum suum quia spiritus fornicationis in medio eorum et Dominum non cognoverunt

Their doings will not allow them to turn to their God, for the spirit of whoredom is within them, and they do not know Jehovah.

5 et respondebit arrogantia Israhel in facie eius et Israhel et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua ruet etiam Iudas cum eis

And the pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity. Judah also shall stumble with them.

6 in gregibus suis et in armentis suis vadent ad quaerendum Dominum et non invenient ablatus est ab eis

They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah, but they shall not find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.

7 in Domino praevaricati sunt quia filios alienos genuerunt nunc devorabit eos mensis cum partibus suis

They have dealt treacherously against Jehovah, for they have borne strange sons. Now the new moon shall devour them with their fields.

8 clangite bucina in Gabaa tuba in Rama ululate in Bethaven post tergum tuum Beniamin

Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah. Sound an alarm at Beth-aven, behind thee, O Benjamin.

9 Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis in tribubus Israhel ostendi fidem

Ephraim shall become a desolation in the day of rebuke. I have made known that which shall surely be among the tribes of Israel.

10 facti sunt principes Iuda quasi adsumentes terminum super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam

The rulers of Judah are like those who remove the landmark. I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

11 calumniam patiens Ephraim fractus iudicio quoniam coepit abire post sordem

Ephraim is oppressed. He is crushed in judgment, because he was content to walk after man's command.

12 et ego quasi tinea Ephraim et quasi putredo domui Iuda

Therefore I am to Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

13 et vidit Ephraim languorem suum et Iudas vinculum suum et abiit Ephraim ad Assur et misit ad regem ultorem et ipse non poterit sanare vos nec solvere poterit a vobis vinculum

When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb. But he is not able to heal you, nor will he cure you of your wound.

14 quoniam ego quasi leaena Ephraim et quasi catulus leonis domui Iuda ego ego capiam et vadam tollam et non est qui eruat

For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear and go away, I will carry off, and there shall be none to deliver.

15 vadens revertar ad locum meum donec deficiatis et quaeratis faciem meam

I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.
