Osee Propheta 8

1 in gutture tuo sit tuba quasi aquila super domum Domini pro eo quod transgressi sunt foedus meum et legem meam praevaricati sunt

[He shall come] into their midst as the land, as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and have sinned against my law.

2 me invocabunt Deus meus cognovimus te Israhel

They shall soon cry out to me, [saying], O God, we know you.

3 proiecit Israhel bonum inimicus persequetur eum

For Israel has turned away from good things; they have pursued an enemy.

4 ipsi regnaverunt et non ex me principes extiterunt et non cognovi argentum suum et aurum suum fecerunt sibi idola ut interirent

They have made kings for themselves, but not by me: they have ruled, but they did not make it known to me: [of] their silver and their gold they have made images to themselves, that they might be destroyed.

5 proiectus est vitulus tuus Samaria iratus est furor meus in eis usquequo non poterunt emundari

Cast off your calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be unable to purge themselves in Israel?

6 quia ex Israhel et ipse est artifex fecit illum et non est Deus quoniam in aranearum telas erit vitulus Samariae

Whereas the workman made it, and it is not God; therefore your calf, Samaria, was a deceiver:

7 quia ventum seminabunt et turbinem metent culmus stans non est in eis germen non faciet farinam quod si et fecerit alieni comedent eam

for they sowed blighted [seed], and their destruction shall await them, a sheaf of corn that avails not to make meal; and even if it should produce it, strangers shall devour it.

8 devoratus est Israhel nunc factus est in nationibus quasi vas inmundum

Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations as a worthless vessel.

9 quia ipsi ascenderunt ad Assur onager solitarius sibi Ephraim munera dederunt amatoribus

For they have gone up to the Assyrians: Ephraim has been strengthened against himself; they loved gifts.

10 sed et cum mercede conduxerint nationes nunc congregabo eos et quiescent paulisper ab onere regis et principum

Therefore shall they be delivered to the nations: now I will receive them, and they shall cease a little to anoint a king and princes.

11 quia multiplicavit Ephraim altaria ad peccandum factae sunt ei arae in delictum

Because Ephraim has multiplied altars, [his] beloved altars are become sins to him.

12 scribam ei multiplices leges meas quae velut alienae conputatae sunt

I will write down a multitude [of commands] for him; but his statutes are accounted strange things, [even] the beloved altars.

13 hostias adfer adfer immolabunt carnes et comedent Dominus non suscipiet eas nunc recordabitur iniquitatis eorum et visitabit peccata eorum ipsi in Aegyptum convertentur

For if they should offer a sacrifice, and eat flesh, the lord will not accept them: now will he remember their iniquities, and will take vengeance on their sins: they have returned to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things among the Assyrians.

14 et oblitus est Israhel factoris sui et aedificavit delubra et Iudas multiplicavit urbes munitas et mittam ignem in civitates eius et devorabit aedes illius

And Israel has forgotten him that made him, and they have built fanes, and Juda has multiplied walled cities: but I will send fire on his cities, and it shall devour their foundations.
