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, for gladness, as other people; for thou art gone astray, unfaithful to thy God: thou hast loved the wages of sin upon every corn-filled threshing-floor.
2 area et torcular non pascet eos et vinum mentietur eis
The threshing-floor and the wine-press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall deceive them.
3 non habitabunt in terra Domini reversus est Ephraim Aegyptum et in Assyriis pollutum comedit
They shall not dwell in the land of the Lord; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and in Assyria will they eat unclean things.
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 shall not pour out wine to the Lord, and [their offerings] shall not be pleasing unto him; their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for this their food can only be for themselves, it shall not come into the house of the Lord.
5 quid facietis in die sollemni in die festivitatis Domini
What will ye do on the day of the appointed festival, and on 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
For, lo, they are gone forth because of the desolation: Egypt will gather them up, Moph will bury them: the pleasant chambers for their silver, —these shall nettles take possession of; thorns shall [grow] in their tents.
7 venerunt dies visitationis venerunt dies retributionis scitote Israhel stultum prophetam insanum virum spiritalem propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae et multitudo amentiae
Come are the days of the visitation, come are the days of thy recompense; this shall Israel experience: a fool was the prophet, mad the inspired man, because of the greatness of thy iniquity, and the great hatefulness.
8 speculator Ephraim cum Deo meo propheta laqueus ruinae super omnes vias eius insania in domo Dei eius
The watchman of Ephraim with my God, the prophet, was a snare of the fowler on all his ways, a hateful thing in the house of his god.
9 profunde peccaverunt sicut in diebus Gabaa recordabitur iniquitatis eorum et visitabit peccata eorum
They are deeply corrupt, as in the days of Gib'ah: he will remember their iniquity, he will visit 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
Like grapes in the wilderness had I found Israel; as the first ripe fruit on the fig-tree in the first of the season had I seen your fathers; but they too went to Ba'al-pe'or: and devoted themselves unto that shameful idol, and became abominations as those they loved.
11 Ephraim quasi avis avolavit gloria eorum a partu et ab utero et a conceptu
As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird: there is no more birth, and no pregnancy, and no conception.
12 quod si et enutrierint filios suos absque liberis eos faciam in hominibus sed et vae eis cum recessero ab eis
But though they were to bring up their children, yet would I bereave them, that there should be no man: yea, woe also to themselves, when I depart from them!
13 Ephraim ut vidi Tyrus erat fundata in pulchritudine et Ephraim educit ad interfectorem filios suos
Ephraim, as I have seen him like Tyre, planted in a pleasant meadow, —yet this Ephraim shall lead forth to the murderer his children.
14 da eis Domine quid dabis eis da eis vulvam sine liberis et ubera arentia
Give them, O Lord, what thou wilt give! give them a miscarrying womb and dried-up 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 Gilgal; for there I [learnt to] hate them; for the wickedness of their doings will I drive them out of my house: I will love them no farther; all their princes are rebels.
16 percussus est Ephraim radix eorum exsiccata est fructum nequaquam facient quod si et genuerint interficiam amantissima uteri eorum
Smitten is Ephraim, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they should bring forth, yet would I slay the beloved fruit of their body.
17 abiciet eos Deus meus quia non audierunt eum et erunt vagi in nationibus
My God will reject them, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
