Osee Propheta 5
1 [Audite hoc, sacerdotes, et attendite, domus Israël, et domus regis, auscultate: quia vobis judicium est, quoniam laqueus facti estis speculationi, et rete expansum super Thabor.
Hear this, priests! Attend, Israelites! Listen, royal family! For you is the judgment: a snare you have become at Mizpeh, and a net spread out on Tabor,
2 Et victimas declinastis in profundum; et ego eruditor omnium eorum.
the rebels are deep in slaughter, but I will discipline all.
3 Ego scio Ephraim, et Israël non est absconditus a me: quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim; contaminatus est Israël.
I know Ephraim, Israel is not hidden from me, for you, Ephraim, have committed prostitution and Israel is defiled.
4 Non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Deum suum, quia spiritus fornicationum in medio eorum, et Dominum non cognoverunt.
Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God. For the spirit of prostitution is within them, they do not know the Lord.
5 Et respondebit arrogantia Israël in facie ejus, et Israël et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua: ruet etiam Judas cum eis.
Israel’s arrogance testifies against them, Israel, even Ephraim, stumble in their sin, and Judah also stumbles with them.
6 In gregibus suis et in armentis suis vadent ad quærendum Dominum, et non invenient: ablatus est ab eis.
With their sheep and their cattle they will go to seek the Lord but they will not find him, he has withdrawn from them,
7 In Dominum prævaricati sunt, quia filios alienos genuerunt: nunc devorabit eos mensis, cum partibus suis.
for they have been untrue to the Lord, their children are strangers. Their new moon festivals will soon destroy them and their fields.
8 Clangite buccina in Gabaa, tuba in Rama; ululate in Bethaven, post tergum tuum, Benjamin.
Blow the trumpet in Gibeah, the clarion in Ramah! Raise the alarm in Beth-aven: we are with you, Benjamin!
9 Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis; in tribubus Israël ostendi fidem.
Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of punishment, concerning the tribes of Israel I make known what is certain.
10 Facti sunt principes Juda quasi assumentes terminum; super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam.
The princes of Israel have become like thieves who move boundary stones. On them I will pour out my wrath like a flood.
11 Calumniam patiens est Ephraim, fractus judicio, quoniam cœpit abire post sordes.
Ephraim will be oppressed, crushed by judgment, for they are determined to go after vanity.
12 Et ego quasi tinea Ephraim, et quasi putredo domui Juda.
So I am like a moth to Ephraim, like rottenness to the house of Judah.
13 Et vidit Ephraim languorem suum, et Juda vinculum suum; et abiit Ephraim ad Assur, et misit ad regem ultorem: et ipse non poterit sanare vos, nec solvere poterit a vobis vinculum.
For when Ephraim saw their sickness and Israel their wound, Ephraim turned to Assyria, to its patron king. But he cannot heal you nor relieve you of your wound.
14 Quoniam ego quasi leæna Ephraim, et quasi catulus leonis domui Juda. Ego, ego capiam, et vadam; tollam, et non est qui eruat.
For I myself will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, yes I, will rend and go my way, I will carry off and none will rescue.
15 Vadens revertar ad locum meum, donec deficiatis, et quæratis faciem meam.]
I will return to my place, until in remorse they seek my presence. When they are in distress they will quickly seek me,
