< Osee Propheta 14 >

1 Convertere Israel ad Dominum Deum tuum: quoniam corruisti in iniquitate tua.
O Israel, return to Jehovah thy God, for thou have fallen by thine iniquity.
2 Tollite vobiscum verba, et convertimini ad Dominum: et dicite ei: Omnem aufer iniquitatem, accipe bonum: et reddemus vitulos labiorum nostrorum.
Take with you words, and return to Jehovah. Say to him, Take away all iniquity, and accept that which is good. So we will render as bullocks the offering of our lips.
3 Assur non salvabit nos, super equum non ascendemus, nec dicemus ultra: Dii nostri opera manuum nostrarum: quia eius, qui in te est, misereberis pupilli.
Assyria shall not save us. We will not ride upon horses, nor will we say any more to the work of our hands, Our gods. For in thee the fatherless finds mercy.
4 Sanabo contritiones eorum, diligam eos spontanee: quia aversus est furor meus ab eis.
I will heal their backsliding. I will love them freely. For my anger is turned away from him.
5 Ero quasi ros, Israel germinabit sicut lilium, et erumpet radix eius ut Libani.
I will be as the dew to Israel. He shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
6 Ibunt rami eius, et erit quasi oliva gloria eius: et odor eius ut Libani.
His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
7 Convertentur sedentes in umbra eius: vivent tritico, et germinabunt quasi vinea: memoriale eius sicut vinum Libani.
Those who dwell under his shadow shall return. They shall revive as the grain, and blossom as the vine. The scent of it shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ephraim quid mihi ultra idola? ego exaudiam, et dirigam eum ego ut abietem virentem: ex me fructus tuus inventus est.
Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will regard him. I am like a green fir tree. From me thy fruit is found.
9 Quis sapiens, et intelliget ista? intelligens, et sciet hæc? quia rectæ viæ Domini, et iusti ambulabunt in eis: prævaricatores vero corruent in eis.
Who is wise, that he may understand these things, prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them. But transgressors shall fall therein.
