Osee Propheta 9
1 noli laetari Israhel noli exultare sicut populi quia fornicatus es a Deo tuo dilexisti mercedem super omnes areas tritici
Rejoice not, O Israel, neither make merry, as [other] nations: for you have gone a-whoring from your God; you have loved gifts upon every threshing floor.
2 area et torcular non pascet eos et vinum mentietur eis
The threshing floor and wine-press knew them not, and the wine disappointed them.
3 non habitabunt in terra Domini reversus est Ephraim Aegyptum et in Assyriis pollutum comedit
They lived not in the Lord's land: Ephraim lived in Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things among the Assyrians.
4 non libabunt Domino vinum et non placebunt ei sacrificia eorum quasi panis lugentium omnes qui comedunt eum contaminabuntur quia panis eorum animae ipsorum non intrabit in domum Domini
They have not offered wine to the Lord, neither have their sacrifices been sweet to him, [but] as the bread of mourning to them; all that eat them shall be defiled; for their bread for their soul shall not enter into the house of the Lord.
5 quid facietis in die sollemni in die festivitatis Domini
What will you do in the day of the general assembly, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?
6 ecce enim profecti sunt a vastitate Aegyptus congregavit eos Memphis sepeliet eos desiderabile argenti eorum urtica hereditabit lappa in tabernaculis eorum
Therefore, behold, they go forth from the trouble of Egypt, and Memphis shall receive them, and Machmas shall bury them: [as for] their silver, destruction shall inherit it; thorns [shall be] in their tents.
7 venerunt dies visitationis venerunt dies retributionis scitote Israhel stultum prophetam insanum virum spiritalem propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae et multitudo amentiae
The days of vengeance are come, the days of your recompense are come; and Israel shall be afflicted as the prophet that is mad, as a man deranged: by reason of the multitude of your iniquities your madness has abounded.
8 speculator Ephraim cum Deo meo propheta laqueus ruinae super omnes vias eius insania in domo Dei eius
The watchman of Ephraim [was] with God: the prophet is a crooked snare in all his ways: they have established madness in the house of God.
9 profunde peccaverunt sicut in diebus Gabaa recordabitur iniquitatis eorum et visitabit peccata eorum
They have corrupted themselves according to the days of the hill: he will remember their iniquities, he will take vengeance on their sins.
10 quasi uvas in deserto inveni Israhel quasi prima poma ficulneae in cacumine eius vidi patres eorum ipsi autem intraverunt ad Beelphegor et abalienati sunt in confusione et facti sunt abominabiles sicut ea quae dilexerunt
I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness, and I saw their fathers as an early watchman in a fig tree: they went in to Beel-phegor, and were shamefully estranged, and the abominable became as the beloved.
11 Ephraim quasi avis avolavit gloria eorum a partu et ab utero et a conceptu
Ephraim has flown away as a bird; their glories from the birth, and the travail, and the conception.
12 quod si et enutrierint filios suos absque liberis eos faciam in hominibus sed et vae eis cum recessero ab eis
For even if they should rear their children, yet shall they be utterly bereaved: therefore also there is woe to them, [though] my flesh is of them.
13 Ephraim ut vidi Tyrus erat fundata in pulchritudine et Ephraim educit ad interfectorem filios suos
Ephraim, [even] as I saw, gave their children for a prey; yes, Ephraim [was ready] to bring out his children to slaughter.
14 da eis Domine quid dabis eis da eis vulvam sine liberis et ubera arentia
Give them, O Lord: what will you give them? a miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.
15 omnes nequitiae eorum in Galgal quia ibi exosos habui eos propter malitiam adinventionum eorum de domo mea eiciam eos non addam ut diligam eos omnes principes eorum recedentes
All their wickedness is in Galgal: for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their practices, I will cast them out of my house, I will not love them any more: all their princes are disobedient.
16 percussus est Ephraim radix eorum exsiccata est fructum nequaquam facient quod si et genuerint interficiam amantissima uteri eorum
Ephraim is sick, he is dried up at his roots, he shall in no wise any more bear fruit: therefore even if they should beget [children], I will kill the desired [fruit] of their womb.
17 abiciet eos Deus meus quia non audierunt eum et erunt vagi in nationibus
God shall reject them, because they have not listened to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
