Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spake, there was trembling; he exalted himself in Israel: but when he offended in Baal, he died.
Loquente Ephraim, horror invasit Israel, et deliquit in Baal, et mortuus est.
2 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
Et nunc addiderunt ad peccandum: feceruntque sibi conflatile de argento suo quasi similitudinem idolorum, factura artificum totum est: his ipsi dicunt: Immolate homines vitulos adorantes.
3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that passeth early away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
Idcirco erunt quasi nubes matutina, et sicut ros matutinus praeteriens, sicut pulvis turbine raptus ex area, et sicut fumus de fumario.
4 Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt; and thou shalt know no god but me, and beside me there is no saviour.
Ego autem Dominus Deus tuus ex Terra Aegypti: et Deum absque me nescies, et salvator non est praeter me.
5 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
Ego cognovi te in deserto, in terra solitudinis.
6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted: therefore have they forgotten me.
Iuxta pascua sua adimpleti sunt, et saturati sunt: levaverunt cor suum, et obliti sunt mei.
7 Therefore am I unto them as a lion: as a leopard will I watch by the way:
Et ego ero eis quasi leaena, sicut pardus in via Assyriorum.
8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart: and there will I devour them like a lion; the wild beast shall tear them.
Occurram eis quasi ursa raptis catulis, et dirumpam interiora iecoris eorum: et consumam eos ibi quasi leo, bestia agri scindet eos.
9 It is thy destruction, O Israel, that [thou art] against me, against thy help.
Perditio tu Israel: tantummodo in me auxilium tuum.
10 Where now is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges, of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?
Ubi est rex tuus? maxime nunc salvet te in omnibus urbibus tuis: et iudices tui, de quibus dixisti: Da mihi regem, et principes.
11 I have given thee a king in mine anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.
Dabo tibi regem in furore meo, et auferam in indignatione mea.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid up in store.
Colligata est iniquitas Ephraim, absconditum peccatum eius.
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for it is time he should not tarry in the place of the breaking forth of children.
Dolores parturientis venient ei: ipse filius non sapiens: nunc enim non stabit in contritione filiorum.
14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, where are thy plagues? O grave, where is thy destruction? repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
De manu mortis liberabo eos, de morte redimam eos: ero mors tua o mors, morsus tuus ero inferne: consolatio abscondita est ab oculis meis. (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the breath of the LORD coming up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
Quia ipse inter fratres dividet: adducet urentem ventum Dominus de deserto ascendentem: et siccabit venas eius, et desolabit fontem eius, et ipse diripiet thesaurum omnis vasis desiderabilis.
16 Samaria shall bear her guilt; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
Pereat Samaria, quoniam ad amaritudinem concitavit Deum suum: in gladio pereant, parvuli eorum elidantur, et foetae eius discindantur.
