Osee Propheta 2

1 dicite fratribus vestris Populus meus et sorori vestrae Misericordiam consecuta

Say to your brother, My people, and to your sister, Pitied.

2 iudicate matrem vestram iudicate quoniam ipsa non uxor mea et ego non vir eius auferat fornicationes suas a facie sua et adulteria sua de medio uberum suorum

Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband: and I will remove her fornication out of my presence, and her adultery from between her breasts:

3 ne forte expoliem eam nudam et statuam eam secundum diem nativitatis suae et ponam eam quasi solitudinem et statuam eam velut terram inviam et interficiam eam siti

that I may strip her naked, and make her again as she was at the day of her birth: and I will make her desolate, and make her as a dry land, and will kill her with thirst.

4 et filiorum illius non miserebor quoniam filii fornicationum sunt

And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are children of fornication.

5 quia fornicata est mater eorum confusa est quae 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

And their mother went a-whoring: she that bore them disgraced [them]: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, and my garments, and my linen clothes, my oil and my necessaries.

6 propter hoc ecce ego sepiam viam tuam spinis et sepiam eam maceria et semitas suas non inveniet

Therefore, behold, I hedge up her way with thorns, and I will stop the ways, and she shall not find her path.

7 et sequetur amatores suos et non adprehendet eos et quaeret 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, and shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: and she shall say, I will go, and return to my former husband; for it was better with me than now.

8 et haec nescivit quia ego dedi ei frumentum et vinum et oleum et argentum multiplicavi ei et aurum quae fecerunt Baal

And she knew not that I gave her her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied silver to her: but she made silver and gold [images] 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 quae operiebant ignominiam eius

Therefore I will return, and take away my corn in its season, and my wine in its time; and I will take away my raiment and my linen clothes, so that she shall not cover her nakedness.

10 et nunc revelabo stultitiam eius in oculis amatorum eius et vir non eruet eam de manu mea

And now I will expose her uncleanness before her lovers, and no one shall by any means deliver her out of my hand.

11 et cessare faciam omne gaudium eius sollemnitatem eius neomeniam eius sabbatum eius et omnia festa tempora eius

And I will take away all her gladness, her feasts, and her festivals at the new moon, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.

12 et corrumpam vineam eius et ficum eius de quibus dixit mercedes hae meae sunt quas dederunt mihi amatores mei et ponam eam in saltu et comedet illam bestia agri

And I will utterly destroy her vines, and her fig-trees, all things of which she said, These are my hire which my lovers have given me: and I will make them a testimony, and the wild beasts of the field, and the birds of the sky, and the reptiles of the earth shall devour them.

13 et visitabo super eam dies Baalim quibus accendebat incensum et ornabatur inaure sua et monili suo et ibat post amatores suos et mei obliviscebatur dicit Dominus

And I will recompense on her the days of Baalim, wherein she sacrificed to them, and put on her ear-rings, and her necklaces, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, says the Lord.

14 propter hoc ecce ego lactabo eam et ducam eam in solitudinem et loquar ad cor eius

Therefore, behold, I [will] cause her to err, and will make her as desolate, and will speak comfortably to her.

15 et dabo ei vinitores eius ex eodem loco et vallem Achor ad aperiendam spem et canet ibi iuxta dies iuventutis suae et iuxta dies ascensionis suae de terra Aegypti

And I will giver her possessions from thence, and the valley of Achor to open her understanding: and she shall be afflicted there according to the days of her infancy, and according to the days of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.

16 et erit in die illo ait Dominus vocabit me Vir meus et non vocabit me ultra Baali

And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, [that] she shall call me, My husband, and shall no longer call me Baalim.

17 et auferam nomina Baalim de ore eius et non recordabitur ultra nominis eorum

And I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and their names shall be remembered no more at all.

18 et percutiam eis foedus in die illa cum bestia agri et cum volucre caeli et cum reptili terrae et arcum et gladium et bellum conteram de terra et dormire eos faciam fiducialiter

And I will make for them in that day a covenant with the wild beasts of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the reptiles of the earth: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle from off the earth, and will cause you to dwell safely.

19 et sponsabo te mihi in sempiternum et sponsabo te mihi in iustitia et iudicio et in misericordia et miserationibus

And I will betroth you to myself for ever; yes, I will betroth you to myself in righteousness, and in judgment, and in mercy, and in tender compassions;

20 et sponsabo te mihi in fide et scies quia ego Dominus

and I will betroth you to myself in faithfulness: and you shall know the Lord.

21 et erit in illa die exaudiam dicit Dominus exaudiam caelos et illi exaudient terram

And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, I will listen to the heaven, and it shall listen to the earth;

22 et terra exaudiet triticum et vinum et oleum et haec exaudient Hiezrahel

and the earth shall listen to the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall listen to Jezrael.

23 et seminabo eam mihi in terram et miserebor eius quae fuit absque misericordia et dicam non populo meo populus meus tu et ipse dicet Dominus meus es tu

And I will sow her to me on the earth; and will love her that was not loved, and will say to that which was not my people, You are my people; and they shall say, You are the Lord my God.
