Osee Propheta 13
1 Loquente Ephraim, horror invasit Israel, et deliquit in Baal, et mortuus est.
When Ephraim spoke trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
2 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.
And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
3 Idcirco erunt quasi nubes matutina, et sicut ros matutinus præteriens, sicut pulvis turbine raptus ex area, et sicut fumus de fumario.
Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind from the floor, and as the smoke from the chimney.
4 Ego autem Dominus Deus tuus ex Terra Ægypti: et Deum absque me nescies, et Salvator non est præter me.
Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no God but me: for there is no saviour besides me.
5 Ego cognovi te in deserto, in terra solitudinis.
I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
6 Iuxta pascua sua adimpleti sunt, et saturati sunt: et levaverunt cor suum, et obliti sunt mei.
According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
7 Et ego ero eis quasi leæna, sicut pardus in via Assyriorum.
Therefore I will be to them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
8 Occurram eis quasi ursa raptis catulis, et dirumpam interiora iecoris eorum: et consumam eos ibi quasi leo, bestia agri scindet eos.
I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the fat of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
9 Perditio tua Israel: tantummodo in me auxilium tuum.
O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thy help.
10 Ubi est rex tuus? maxime nunc salvet te in omnibus urbibus tuis: et iudices tui, de quibus dixisti: Da mihi regem, et principes.
I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?
11 Dabo tibi regem in furore meo, et auferam in indignatione mea.
I gave thee a king in my anger, and took him away in my wrath.
12 Colligata est iniquitas Ephraim, absconditum peccatum eius.
The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
13 Dolores parturientis venient ei: ipse filius non sapiens: nunc enim non stabit in contritione filiorum.
The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
14 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)
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)
15 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.
Though he is fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall plunder the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
16 Pereat Samaria, quoniam ad amaritudinem concitavit Deum suum: in gladio pereant, parvuli eorum elidantur, et fœtæ eius discindantur.
Samaria shall become desolate; 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.
