Hosea 7
1 when I would heal Israel, then is the iniquity of Ephraim uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria, for they commit falsehood; and the thief entereth in, and the troop of robbers maketh a raid without.
Cum sanare vellem Israel, revelata est iniquitas Ephraim, et malitia Samariæ, quia operati sunt mendacium: et fur ingressus est spolians, latrunculus foris.
2 And let them not say to their heart — I remember all their wickedness; now their own doings have beset them about, they are before My face.
Et ne forte dicant in cordibus suis omnem malitiam eorum me recordatum: nunc circumdederunt eos adinventiones suæ, coram facie mea factæ sunt.
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
In malitia sua lætificaverunt regem: et in mendaciis suis principes.
4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth to stir from the kneading of the dough until it be leavened.
Omnes adulterantes, quasi clibanus succensus a coquente: quievit paululum civitas a commistione fermenti, donec fermentaretur totum.
5 On the day of our king the princes make him sick with the heat of wine, he stretcheth out his hand with scorners.
Dies regis nostri: cœperunt principes furere a vino: extendit manum suam cum illusoribus.
6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait; their baker sleepeth all the night, in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
Quia applicuerunt quasi clibanum cor suum, cum insidiaretur eis: tota nocte dormivit coquens eos, mane ipse succensus quasi ignis flammæ.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen, there is none among them that calleth unto Me.
Omnes calefacti sunt quasi clibanus, et devoraverunt iudices suos: omnes reges eorum ceciderunt: non est qui clamat in eis ad me.
8 Ephraim, he mixeth himself with the peoples; Ephraim is become a cake not turned.
Ephraim in populis ipse commiscebatur: Ephraim factus est subcinericius panis, qui non reversatur.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not; yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth it not.
Comederunt alieni robur eius, et ipse nescivit: sed et cani effusi sunt in eo, et ipse ignoravit.
10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face; but they have not returned unto the LORD their God, nor sought Him, for all this.
Et humiliabitur superbia Israel in facie eius: nec reversi sunt ad Dominum Deum suum, et non quæsierunt eum in omnibus his.
11 And Ephraim is become like a silly dove, without understanding; they call unto Egypt, they go to Assyria.
Et factus est Ephraim quasi columba seducta non habens cor: Ægyptum invocabant, ad Assyrios abierunt.
12 Even as they go, I will spread My net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath been made to hear.
Et cum profecti fuerint, expandam super eos rete meum: quasi volucrem cæli detraham eos, cædam eos secundum auditionem cœtus eorum.
13 Woe unto them! for they have strayed from Me; Destruction unto them! for they have transgressed against Me; Shall I then redeem them, seeing they have spoken lies against Me?
Væ eis, quoniam recesserunt a me: vastabuntur, quia prævaricati sunt in me: et ego redemi eos: et ipsi locuti sunt contra me mendacia.
14 And they have not cried unto Me with their heart, though they wail upon their beds; they assemble themselves for corn and wine, they rebel against Me.
Et non clamaverunt ad me in corde suo, sed ululabant in cubilibus suis: super triticum et vinum ruminabant, recesserunt a me.
15 Though I have trained and strengthened their arms, yet do they devise evil against Me.
Et ego erudivi eos, et confortavi brachia eorum: et in me cogitaverunt malitiam.
16 They return, but not upwards; they are become like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue; this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Reversi sunt ut essent absque iugo: facti sunt quasi arcus dolosus: cadent in gladio principes eorum, a furore linguæ suæ. Ista subsannatio eorum in Terra Ægypti.
