Osee Propheta 6

1 in tribulatione sua mane consurgunt ad me venite et revertamur ad Dominum

Come, and let us return to the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

2 quia ipse cepit et sanabit nos percutiet et curabit nos

After two days will he revive us: in the third day will he raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

3 vivificabit nos post duos dies in die tertia suscitabit nos et vivemus in conspectu eius sciemus sequemurque ut cognoscamus Dominum quasi diluculum praeparatus est egressus eius et veniet quasi imber nobis temporaneus et serotinus terrae

Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.

4 quid faciam tibi Ephraim quid faciam tibi Iuda misericordia vestra quasi nubes matutina et quasi ros mane pertransiens

O Ephraim, what shall I do to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? for your goodness is as the morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.

5 propter hoc dolavi in prophetis occidi eos in verbis oris mei et iudicia tua quasi lux egredientur

Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.

6 quia misericordiam volui et non sacrificium et scientiam Dei plus quam holocausta

For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

7 ipsi autem sicut Adam transgressi sunt pactum ibi praevaricati sunt in me

But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

8 Galaad civitas operantium idolum subplantata sanguine

Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.

9 et quasi fauces virorum latronum particeps sacerdotum in via interficientium pergentes de Sychem quia scelus operati sunt

And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.

10 in domo Israhel vidi horrendum ibi fornicationes Ephraim contaminatus est Israhel

I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the harlotry of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

11 sed et Iuda pone messem tibi cum convertero captivitatem populi mei

Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
