< Oséias 7 >

1 Sarando eu a Israel, se descobriu a iniquidade d'Ephraim, como tambem as maldades de Samaria, porque obraram a falsidade; e o ladrão entra, e a tropa dos salteadores despoja por fóra.
When I would have healed Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria, for they have committed falsehood, and the thief is come in to steal, the robber is without.
2 E não dizem no seu coração que eu me lembro de toda a sua maldade: agora, pois, os cercam as suas obras; diante da minha face estão.
And lest they may say in their hearts, that I remember all their wickedness: their own devices now have beset them about, they have been done before my face.
3 Com a sua malicia alegram ao rei, e com as suas maneiras aos principes.
They have made the king glad with their wickedness: and the princes with their lies.
4 Todos juntamente adulteram: similhantes são ao forno acceso pelo padeiro, que cessa de vigiar, depois que amassou a massa, até que seja levedada.
They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by the baker: the city rested a little from the mingling of the leaven, till the whole was leavened.
5 E o dia do nosso rei os principes o fazem adoecer, por esquentamento do vinho: estende a sua mão com os escarnecedores.
The day of our king, the princes began to be mad with wine: he stretched out his hand with scorners.
6 Porque, como um forno, applicaram o coração, emboscando-se; toda a noite dorme o seu padeiro, pela manhã arde como fogo de chamma.
Because they have applied their heart like an oven, when he laid snares for them: he slept all the night baking them, in the morning he himself was heated as a flaming fire.
7 Todos juntos se esquentam como o forno, e consomem os seus juizes: todos os seus reis caem, ninguem entre elles ha que clame a mim.
They were all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings have fallen: there is none amongst them that calleth unto me.
8 Ephraim com os povos se mistura; Ephraim é um bolo que não foi virado.
Ephraim himself is mixed among the nations: Ephraim is become as bread baked under the ashes, that is not turned.
9 Estrangeiros lhe comeram a força, e não o sabe; tambem as cãs se espalharam sobre elle, e não o sabe.
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knew it not: yea, grey hairs also are spread about upon him, and he is ignorant of it.
10 E a soberba de Israel testificará em sua face; e não voltarão para o Senhor seu Deus, nem o buscarão em tudo isto.
And the pride of Israel shall be humbled before his face: and they have not returned to the Lord their God, nor have they sought him in all these.
11 Porque Ephraim é como uma pomba enganada, sem entendimento: invocam o Egypto, vão para a Assyria.
And Ephraim is become as a dove that is decoyed, not having a heart: they called upon Egypt, they went to the Assyrians.
12 Quando forem, sobre elles estenderei a minha rede, e como aves do céu os farei descer: castigal-os-hei, conforme ao que elles teem ouvido na sua congregação.
And when they shall go, I will spread my net upon them: I will bring them down as the fowl of the air, I will strike them as their congregation hath heard.
13 Ai d'elles, porque fugiram de mim: destruição sobre elles, porque se rebellaram contra mim: eu os remi, porém fallam mentiras contra mim.
Woe to them, for they have departed from me: they shall be wasted because they have transgressed against me: and I redeemed them: and they have spoken lies against me.
14 E não clamaram a mim do seu coração, quando davam uivos nas suas camas; para o trigo e para o vinho se ajuntam, mas contra mim se rebellam.
And they have not cried to me with their heart, but they howled in their beds: they have thought upon wheat and wine, they are departed from me.
15 Eu os castiguei, e lhes esforcei os braços, mas pensam mal contra mim.
And I have chastised them, and strengthened their arms: and they have imagined evil against me.
16 Tornaram-se, mas não ao Altissimo. Fizeram-se como um arco enganoso: caem á espada os seus principes, por causa da colera da sua lingua; este será o seu escarneo na terra do Egypto.
They returned, that they might be without yoke: they became like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongue. This is their derision in the land of Egypt.
