Oséias 11
1 Quando Israel era menino, eu o amei; e do Egypto chamei a meu filho.
Early in the morning were they cast off, the king of Israel has been cast off: for Israel is a child, and I loved him, and out of Egypt have I called his children.
2 Mas, como elles os chamavam, assim se iam da sua face: sacrificavam a baalins, e queimavam incenso ás imagens de esculptura.
As I called them, so they departed from my presence: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burnt incense to graven images.
3 Eu, todavia, ensinei a andar a Ephraim; tomei-os pelos seus braços, mas não conheceram que eu os curava.
Yet I bound the feet of Ephraim, I took him on my arm; but they knew not that I healed them.
4 Attrahi-os com cordas humanas, com cordas de amor, e fui para elles como os que levantam o jugo de sobre as suas queixadas, e lhe dei mantimento.
When men were destroyed, I drew them with the bands of my love: and I will be to them as a man striking [another] on his cheek: and I will have respect to him, I will prevail with him.
5 Não voltará para a terra do Egypto, mas a Assyria será seu rei; porque recusam converter-se.
Ephraim lived in Egypt; and [as for] the Assyrian, he was his king, because he would not return.
6 E ficará a espada sobre as suas cidades, e consumirá os seus ferrolhos, e devorará, por causa dos seus conselhos.
And in his cities he prevailed not with the sword, and he ceased [to war] with his hands: and they shall eat [of the fruit] of their own devices:
7 Porque o meu povo se inclina a desviar-se de mim; bem que chamam ao Altissimo, nenhum d'elles se levanta.
and his people [shall] cleave fondly to their habitation; but God shall be angry with his precious things, and shall not at all exalt him.
8 Como te deixaria, ó Ephraim? como te entregaria, ó Israel? como te faria como Adama? te poria como Zeboim? Virou-se em mim o meu coração, todos os meus pezares juntamente estão accendidos.
How shall I deal with you, Ephraim? [how] shall I protect you, Israel? what shall I do with you? I will make you as Adama, and as Seboim; my heart is turned at once, my repentance is powerfully excited.
9 Não executarei o furor da minha ira: não me tornarei para destruir a Ephraim, porque eu sou Deus e não homem, o Sancto no meio de ti, e não entrarei na cidade.
I will not act according to the fury of my wrath, I will not abandon Ephraim to be utterly destroyed: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One within you: and I will not enter into the city.
10 Andarão após o Senhor, elle bramará como leão: bramando pois elle, os filhos do occidente tremerão.
I will go after the Lord: he shall utter [his voice] as a lion: for he shall roar, and the children of the waters shall be amazed.
11 Tremendo, se achegarão como um passarinho os do Egypto, e como uma pomba os da terra da Assyria, e os farei habitar em suas casas, diz o Senhor.
They shall be amazed [and fly] as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will restore them to their houses, says the Lord.
12 Ephraim me cercou com mentira, e a casa de Israel com engano; mas Judah ainda domina com Deus, e com os sanctos está fiel.
Ephraim has compassed me with falsehood, and the house of Israel and Juda with ungodliness: [but] now God knows them, and they shall be called God's holy people.
