< Osee Propheta 7 >
1 cum sanare vellem Israhel revelata est iniquitas Ephraim et malitia Samariae quia operati sunt mendacium et fur ingressus est spolians latrunculus foris
“When I give healing to Israel, Then the iniquity of Ephraim is revealed, And the wickedness of Samaria, For they have worked falsehood, And a thief comes in, A troop has stripped off in the street,
2 et ne forte dicant in cordibus suis omnem malitiam eorum me recordatum nunc circumdederunt eos adinventiones suae coram facie mea factae sunt
And they do not say to their heart, [That] I have remembered all their evil, Now their doings have surrounded them, They have been before My face.
3 in malitia sua laetificaverunt regem et in mendaciis suis principes
With their wickedness they make a king glad, And with their lies—princes.
4 omnes adulterantes quasi clibanus succensus a coquente quievit paululum civitas a commixtione fermenti donec fermentaretur totum
All of them [are] adulterers, Like a burning oven of a baker, He ceases from stirring up after kneading the dough, until its leavening.
5 dies regis nostri coeperunt principes furere a vino extendit manum suam cum inlusoribus
A day of our king! Princes have defiled themselves [with] the poison of wine, He has drawn out his hand with scorners.
6 quia adplicuerunt quasi clibanum cor suum cum insidiaretur eis tota nocte dormivit coquens eos mane ipse succensus quasi ignis flammae
For they have drawn near, Their heart [is] as an oven In their lying in wait—their baker sleeps all night, Morning! He is burning as a flaming fire.
7 omnes calefacti sunt quasi clibanus et devoraverunt iudices suos omnes reges eorum ceciderunt non est qui clamet in eis ad me
All of them are warm as an oven, And they have devoured their judges, All their kings have fallen, There is none calling to Me among them.
8 Ephraim in populis ipse commiscebatur Ephraim factus est subcinericius qui non reversatur
Ephraim! He mixes himself among peoples, Ephraim has been an unturned cake.
9 comederunt alieni robur eius et ipse nescivit sed et cani effusi sunt in eo et ipse ignoravit
Strangers have devoured his power, And he has not known, Also old age has sprinkled [itself] on him, And he has not known.
10 et humiliabitur superbia Israhel in facie eius nec reversi sunt ad Dominum Deum suum et non quaesierunt eum in omnibus his
And the excellence of Israel has been humbled to his face, And they have not turned back to their God YHWH, Nor have they sought Him for all this.
11 et factus est Ephraim quasi columba seducta non habens cor Aegyptum invocabant ad Assyrios abierunt
And Ephraim is as a simple dove without heart, Egypt they called on—[to] Asshur they have gone.
12 et cum profecti fuerint expandam super eos rete meum quasi volucrem caeli detraham eos caedam eos secundum auditionem coetus eorum
When they go I spread over them My net, As the bird of the heavens I bring them down, I discipline them as their congregation has heard.
13 vae eis quoniam recesserunt a me vastabuntur quia praevaricati sunt in me et ego redemi eos et ipsi locuti sunt contra me mendacia
Woe to them, for they wandered from Me, Destruction to them, for they transgressed against Me, And I ransom them, and they have spoken lies against Me,
14 et non clamaverunt ad me in corde suo sed ululabant in cubilibus suis super triticum et vinum ruminabant recesserunt a me
And have not cried to Me with their heart, but howl on their beds; They assemble themselves for grain and new wine, They turn aside against Me.
15 et ego erudivi et confortavi brachia eorum et in me cogitaverunt malitiam
And I instructed—I strengthened their arms, And concerning Me they think evil!
16 reversi sunt ut essent absque iugo facti sunt quasi arcus dolosus cadent in gladio principes eorum a furore linguae suae ista subsannatio eorum in terra Aegypti
They turn back—not to the Most High, They have been as a deceitful bow, Their princes fall by sword, From the insolence of their tongue, This [is] their derision in the land of Egypt!”
