Osee Propheta 2
1 Dicite fratribus vestris: Populus meus; et sorori vestræ: Misericordiam consecuta.
Say ye to your brothers, Ammi, and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
2 Judicate matrem vestram, judicate, quoniam ipsa non uxor mea, et ego non vir ejus. Auferat fornicationes suas a facie sua, et adulteria sua de medio uberum suorum;
Contend with your mother. Contend, for she is not my wife, nor am I her husband. And let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts,
3 ne forte expoliem eam nudam, et statuam eam secundum diem nativitatis suæ, et ponam eam quasi solitudinem, et statuam eam velut terram inviam, et interficiam eam siti.
lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.
4 Et filiorum illius non miserebor, quoniam filii fornicationum sunt.
Yea, I will have no mercy upon her sons, for they are sons of whoredom,
5 Quia fornicata est mater eorum, confusa est quæ concepit eos; quia dixit: Vadam post amatores meos, qui dant panes mihi, et aquas meas, lanam meam, et linum meum, oleum meum, et potum meum.
for their mother has played the harlot. She who conceived them has done shamefully, for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.
6 Propter hoc ecce ego sepiam viam tuam spinis, et sepiam eam maceria, et semitas suas non inveniet.
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she shall not find her paths.
7 Et sequetur amatores suos, et non apprehendet eos; et quæret eos, et non inveniet: et dicet: Vadam, et revertar ad virum meum priorem, quia bene mihi erat tunc magis quam nunc.
And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them. And she shall seek them, but shall not find them. Then she shall say, I will go and return to my first husband, for it was better with me then than now.
8 Et hæc nescivit, quia ego dedi ei frumentum, et vinum, et oleum, et argentum multiplicavi ei, et aurum, quæ fecerunt Baal.
For she did not know that I gave her the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
9 Idcirco convertar, et sumam frumentum meum in tempore suo, et vinum meum in tempore suo. Et liberabo lanam meam et linum meum, quæ operiebant ignominiam ejus.
Therefore I will take back my grain in the time of it, and my new wine in the season of it, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
10 Et nunc revelabo stultitiam ejus in oculis amatorum ejus; et vir non eruet eam de manu mea;
And now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.
11 et cessare faciam omne gaudium ejus, solemnitatem ejus, neomeniam ejus, sabbatum ejus, et omnia festa tempora ejus.
I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
12 Et corrumpam vineam ejus, et ficum ejus, de quibus dixit: Mercedes hæ meæ sunt, quas dederunt mihi amatores mei; et ponam eam in saltum, et comedet eam bestia agri.
And I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, These are my hire that my lovers have given me. And I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
13 Et visitabo super eam dies Baalim, quibus accendebat incensum, et ornabatur in aure sua, et monili suo. Et ibat post amatores suos, et mei obliviscebatur, dicit Dominus.
And I will visit upon her the days of the Baalim, to which she burned incense when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, says Jehovah.
14 Propter hoc ecce ego lactabo eam, et ducam eam in solitudinem, et loquar ad cor ejus.
Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak soothingly to her.
15 Et dabo ei vinitores ejus ex eodem loco, et vallem Achor, ad aperiendam spem; et canet ibi juxta dies juventutis suæ, et juxta dies ascensionis suæ de terra Ægypti.
And I will give her her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope. And she shall make answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 Et erit in die illa, ait Dominus: vocabit me, Vir meus, et non vocabit me ultra Baali.
And it shall be at that day, says Jehovah, that thou shall call me Ishi, and shall no more call me Baali.
17 Et auferam nomina Baalim de ore ejus, et non recordabitur ultra nominis eorum.
For I will take away the names of the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.
18 Et percutiam cum eis fœdus in die illa, cum bestia agri, et cum volucre cæli, et cum reptili terræ; et arcum, et gladium, et bellum conteram de terra, et dormire eos faciam fiducialiter.
And in that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping things of the ground. And I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely.
19 Et sponsabo te mihi in sempiternum; et sponsabo te mihi in justitia, et judicio, et in misericordia, et in miserationibus.
And I will betroth thee to me forever. Yea, I will betroth thee to me in righteousness, and in justice, and in loving kindness, and in mercies.
20 Et sponsabo te mihi in fide; et scies quia ego Dominus.
I will even betroth thee to me in faithfulness, and thou shall know Jehovah.
21 Et erit in die illa: exaudiam, dicit Dominus, exaudiam cælos, et illi exaudient terram.
And it shall come to pass in that day, I will answer, says Jehovah. I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth,
22 Et terra exaudiet triticum, et vinum, et oleum, et hæc exaudient Jezrahel.
and the earth shall answer the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and they shall answer Jezreel.
23 Et seminabo eam mihi in terra, et miserebor ejus quæ fuit Absque misericordia. Et dicam Non populo meo: Populus meus es tu; et ipse dicet: Deus meus es tu.
And I will sow her to me in the earth. And I will have mercy upon her who had not obtained mercy. And I will say to those who were not my people, Thou are my people, and they shall say, My God.
