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 listen well, O ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for the punishment threateneth you; because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread out upon Thabor.

2 et victimas declinastis in profundum et ego eruditor omnium eorum

And for murdering they who had rebelled [against God] concealed themselves in deep places; but I will inflict correction on them all.

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

I well know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, O Ephraim, hast thou played the harlot, [and] 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 permit them to return unto their God; for the spirit of lewdness is in their bosom, and the Lord they have not known.

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

Therefore shall the pride of Israel be humbled before his face: and 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

With their flocks and with their herds will they go to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him: he hath withdrawn himself from them.

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

Against the Lord have they dealt treacherously; for strange children have they begotten: now shall one month devour them together with their possessions.

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

Blow ye the cornet in Gib'ah, the trumpet in Ramah: blow the alarm at Beth-aven, [The enemy is] after thee, O Benjamin.

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

Ephraim shall be made desolate on the day of chastisement: among the tribes of Israel had I made known that which is true.

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

The princes of Judah were like those that remove the landmark: my wrath, therefore, will I pour out upon them like water.

11 calumniam patiens Ephraim fractus iudicio quoniam coepit abire post sordem

Oppressed is Ephraim, broken through punishment; because he willingly walked after the commandment [of false prophets].

12 et ego quasi tinea Ephraim et quasi putredo domui Iuda

But like the moth became I unto Ephraim, and like rottenness to the house of Judah.

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

Then saw Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, and Ephraim went to Asshur, and [the other] sent to the king that should contend [[Jareb]]; but he will never be able to heal you, nor remove from you 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 am as a lion unto Ephraim, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I myself will tear in pieces and go away; I will bear away, and none shall deliver.

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

I will go [from here, and] return to my place, till they acknowledge their guilt, and seek my presence: in their affliction will they seek for me.
