< Osee Propheta 8 >

1 in gutture tuo sit tuba quasi aquila super domum Domini pro eo quod transgressi sunt foedus meum et legem meam praevaricati sunt
[SET] the trumpet to thy mouth. As an eagle [he cometh] against the house of the LORD: because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
2 me invocabunt Deus meus cognovimus te Israhel
They shall cry unto me, My God, we Israel know thee.
3 proiecit Israhel bonum inimicus persequetur eum
Israel hath cast off that which is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
4 ipsi regnaverunt et non ex me principes extiterunt et non cognovi argentum suum et aurum suum fecerunt sibi idola ut interirent
They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
5 proiectus est vitulus tuus Samaria iratus est furor meus in eis usquequo non poterunt emundari
He hath cast off thy calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
6 quia ex Israhel et ipse est artifex fecit illum et non est Deus quoniam in aranearum telas erit vitulus Samariae
For from Israel is even this; the workman made it, and it is no God: yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 quia ventum seminabunt et turbinem metent culmus stans non est in eis germen non faciet farinam quod si et fecerit alieni comedent eam
For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: he hath no standing corn; the blade shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.
8 devoratus est Israhel nunc factus est in nationibus quasi vas inmundum
Israel is swallowed up: now are they among the nations as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
9 quia ipsi ascenderunt ad Assur onager solitarius sibi Ephraim munera dederunt amatoribus
For they are gone up to Assyria, [like] a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10 sed et cum mercede conduxerint nationes nunc congregabo eos et quiescent paulisper ab onere regis et principum
Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them; and they begin to be minished by reason of the burden of the king of princes.
11 quia multiplicavit Ephraim altaria ad peccandum factae sunt ei arae in delictum
Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, altars have been unto him to sin.
12 scribam ei multiplices leges meas quae velut alienae conputatae sunt
Though I write for him my law in ten thousand [precepts], they are counted as a strange thing.
13 hostias adfer adfer immolabunt carnes et comedent Dominus non suscipiet eas nunc recordabitur iniquitatis eorum et visitabit peccata eorum ipsi in Aegyptum convertentur
As for the sacrifices of mine offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
14 et oblitus est Israhel factoris sui et aedificavit delubra et Iudas multiplicavit urbes munitas et mittam ignem in civitates eius et devorabit aedes illius
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof.
