< 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 have healed Israel, then shall the iniquity of Ephraim be revealed, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they have wrought falsehood: and a thief shall come in to him, [even] a robber spoiling in his way;
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.
that they may concert together as [men] singing in their heart: I remember all their wickedness: now have their own counsels compassed them about; they came before my face.
3 Com a sua malicia alegram ao rei, e com as suas maneiras aos principes.
They gladdened kings with their wickedness, and 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, as an oven glowing with flame for hot-baking, on account of the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
5 E o dia do nosso rei os principes o fazem adoecer, por esquentamento do vinho: estende a sua mão com os escarnecedores.
[In] the days of our kings, the princes began to be inflamed with wine: he stretched out his hand with pestilent fellows.
6 Porque, como um forno, applicaram o coração, emboscando-se; toda a noite dorme o seu padeiro, pela manhã arde como fogo de chamma.
Therefore their hearts are inflamed as an oven, while they rage all the night: Ephraim is satisfied with sleep; the morning is come; he is burnt up as a flame of 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 are all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings are fallen; there was not among them one that called on me.
8 Ephraim com os povos se mistura; Ephraim é um bolo que não foi virado.
Ephraim is mixed among his people; Ephraim became a cake not turned.
9 Estrangeiros lhe comeram a força, e não o sabe; tambem as cãs se espalharam sobre elle, e não o sabe.
Strangers devoured his strength, and he knew [it] not; and grey hairs came upon him, and he knew [it] not.
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 brought down before his face: yet they have not returned to the Lord their God, neither have they diligently sought him for all this.
11 Porque Ephraim é como uma pomba enganada, sem entendimento: invocam o Egypto, vão para a Assyria.
And Ephraim was as a silly dove, not having a heart: he called to Egypt, and 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.
Whenever they shall go, I will cast my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the sky, I will chasten them with the rumor of their [coming] affliction.
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 started aside from me: they are cowards; for they have sinned against me: yet I redeemed them, but they spoke falsehoods 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 their hearts did not cry to me, but they howled on their beds: they pined for oil and wine.
15 Eu os castiguei, e lhes esforcei os braços, mas pensam mal contra mim.
They were instructed by me, and I strengthened their arms; and they devised evils 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 turned aside to that which is not, they became as a bent bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, by reason of the unbridled state of their tongue: this is their setting at nothing in the land of Egypt.
