< Hosea 11 >

1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
Sicut mane transiit, pertransit rex Israel. Quia puer Israel, et dilexi eum: et ex Aegypto vocavi filium meum.
2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
Vocaverunt eos, sic abierunt a facie eorum: Baalim immolabant, et simulachris sacrificabant.
3 Yet I taught Ephraim to go; I took them on my arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
Et ego quasi nutricius Ephraim, portabam eos in brachiis meis: et nescierunt quod curarem eos.
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat before them.
In funiculis Adam traham eos, in vinculis charitatis: et ero eis quasi exaltans iugum super maxillas eorum: et declinavi ad eum ut vesceretur.
5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
Non revertetur in Terram Aegypti, et Assur ipse rex eius: quoniam noluerunt converti.
6 And the sword shall fall upon his cities, and shall consume his bars, and devour [them], because of their own counsels.
Coepit gladius in civitatibus eius, et consumet electos eius, et comedet capita eorum.
7 And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they call them to [him that is] on high, none at all will exalt [him].
Et populus meus pendebit ad reditum meum: iugum autem imponetur eis simul, quod non auferetur.
8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? [how] shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? [how] shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my compassions are kindled together.
Quomodo dabo te Ephraim, protegam te Israel? quomodo dabo te sicut Adama, ponam te, ut Seboim? Conversum est in me cor meum, pariter conturbata est poenitudo mea.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
Non faciam furorem irae meae: non convertar ut disperdam Ephraim: quoniam Deus ego, et non homo: in medio tui sanctus, et non ingrediar civitatem.
10 They shall walk after the LORD, who shall roar like a lion: for he shall roar, and the children shall come trembling from the west.
Post Dominum ambulabunt, quasi leo rugiet: quia ipse rugiet, et formidabunt filii maris.
11 They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will make them to dwell in their houses, saith the LORD.
Et avolabunt quasi avis ex Aegypto, et quasi columba de Terra Assyriorum: et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.
12 Ephraim compasseth me about with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the Holy One.
Circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim, et in dolo domus Israel: Iudas autem testis descendit cum Deo, et cum sanctis fidelis.
