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
Whenever I want to heal Israel, the sin of Ephraim is exposed, as well as the evil deeds of Samaria, for they practice deceit; a thief comes in, and a marauding band attacks 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
They do not realize in their hearts that I remember all their evil deeds. Now their deeds surround them; they are before my face.
3 in malitia sua laetificaverunt regem et in mendaciis suis principes
With their evil they make the king glad, and by their lies the officials.
4 omnes adulterantes quasi clibanus succensus a coquente quievit paululum civitas a commixtione fermenti donec fermentaretur totum
They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by the baker, who ceases to stir the fire from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
5 dies regis nostri coeperunt principes furere a vino extendit manum suam cum inlusoribus
On the day of our king the officials made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He reached out with his hand to those who were mocking.
6 quia adplicuerunt quasi clibanum cor suum cum insidiaretur eis tota nocte dormivit coquens eos mane ipse succensus quasi ignis flammae
For with hearts like an oven, they devise their deceitful plans. Their anger smolders all night; in the morning it burns high like 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
They all are as hot as an oven, and they devour those who rule over them. All their kings have fallen; none of them calls on me.
8 Ephraim in populis ipse commiscebatur Ephraim factus est subcinericius qui non reversatur
Ephraim mixes himself among the peoples. Ephraim is a flat cake that has not been turned over.
9 comederunt alieni robur eius et ipse nescivit sed et cani effusi sunt in eo et ipse ignoravit
Foreigners have devoured his strength, but he does not know it. Gray hairs are sprinkled on him, but he does not know it.
10 et humiliabitur superbia Israhel in facie eius nec reversi sunt ad Dominum Deum suum et non quaesierunt eum in omnibus his
The pride of Israel testifies against him; however, they have not returned to Yahweh their God, nor have they sought him, in spite of all this.
11 et factus est Ephraim quasi columba seducta non habens cor Aegyptum invocabant ad Assyrios abierunt
Ephraim is like a dove, gullible and without sense, calling out to Egypt, then flying to Assyria.
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 will spread my net over them, I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will punish them in their flocking together.
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 have strayed from me. Devastation is coming to them! They have rebelled against me! I would have rescued them, but they spoke 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
They have not cried to me with all their heart, but they wail on their beds. They gather together for grain and new wine, and they turn away from me.
15 et ego erudivi et confortavi brachia eorum et in me cogitaverunt malitiam
Though I trained them and strengthened their arms, they are now plotting evil against me.
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 return, but they do not return to me, the Most High. They are like a slack bow. Their officials will fall by the sword because of the insolence of their tongues. This will become their mockery in the land of Egypt.
