Hosea 9
1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, like the peoples; for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved hire upon every cornfloor.
Noli laetari Israel, noli exultare sicut populi: quia fornicatus es a Deo tuo, dilexisti mercedem super omnes areas tritici.
2 The threshing-floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her.
Area et torcular non pascet eos, et vinum mentietur eis.
3 They shall not dwell in the LORD’S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
Non habitabunt in terra Domini: reversus est Ephraim in Aegyptum, et in Assyriis pollutum comedit.
4 They shall not pour out wine [offerings] to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread shall be for their appetite; it shall not come into the house of the LORD.
Non libabunt Domino vinum, et non placebunt ei: sacrificia eorum quasi panis lugentium. omnes, qui comedent eum, contaminabuntur: quia panis eorum animae ipsorum, non intrabit in domum Domini.
5 What will ye do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
Quid facietis in die sollemni, in die festivitatis Domini?
6 For, lo, they are gone away from destruction, [yet] Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: their pleasant things of silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tents.
Ecce enim profecti sunt a vastitate: Aegyptus congregabit eos, Memphis sepeliet eos: desiderabile argentum eorum urtica hereditabit, lappa in tabernaculis eorum.
7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the man that hath the spirit is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and because the enmity is great.
Venerunt dies visitationis, venerunt dies retributionis: scitote Israel stultum prophetam, insanum virum spiritualem, propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae, et multitudinem amentiae.
8 Ephraim [was] a watchman with my God: as for the prophet, a fowler’s snare is in all his ways, [and] enmity in the house of his God.
Speculator Ephraim cum Deo meo: propheta laqueus ruinae factus est super omnes vias eius, insania in domo Dei eius.
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
Profunde peccaverunt, sicut in diebus Gabaa: recordabitur iniquitatis eorum, et visitabit peccata eorum.
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first season: but they came to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves unto the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.
Quasi uvas in deserto inveni Israel: quasi prima poma ficulneae in cacumine eius vidi patres eorum: ipsi autem intraverunt ad Beelphegor, et abalienati sunt in confusionem, et facti sunt abominabiles sicut ea, quae dilexerunt.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird: there shall be no birth, and none with child, and no conception.
Ephraim quasi avis avolavit, gloria eorum a partu, et ab utero, et a conceptu.
12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there be not a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
Quod et si enutrierint filios suos, absque liberis eos faciam in hominibus: sed et vae eis cum recessero ab eis.
13 Ephraim, like as I have seen Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring out his children to the slayer.
Ephraim, ut vidi, Tyrus erat fundata in pulchritudine: et Ephraim educet ad interfectorem filios suos.
14 Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
Da eis Domine. Quid dabis eis? Da eis vulvam sine liberis, et ubera arentia.
15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house: I will love them no more; all their princes are revolters.
Omnes nequitiae eorum in Galgal, quia ibi exosos habui eos: propter malitiam adinventionum eorum de domo mea eiiciam eos: non addam ut diligam eos, omnes principes eorum recedentes.
16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved fruit of their womb.
Percussus est Ephraim, radix eorum exiccata est: fructum nequaquam facient. Quod et si genuerint, interficiam amantissima uteri eorum.
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Abiiciet eos Deus meus, quia non audierunt eum: et erunt vagi in nationibus.
