Osee Propheta 2
1 Dicite fratribus vestris: Populus meus: et sorori vestræ, Misericordiam consecuta.
Say ye to your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
2 Iudicate matrem vestram, iudicate: quoniam ipsa non uxor mea, et ego non vir eius. Auferat fornicationes suas a facie sua, et adulteria sua de medio uberum suorum.
Contend with your mother, contend: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her harlotry out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
3 Ne forte expoliem eam nudam, et statuam eam secundum diem nativitatis suæ: et ponam eam quasi solitudinem, et statuam eam velut terram inviam, et interficiam eam siti.
Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.
4 Et filiorum illius non miserebor: quoniam filii fornicationum sunt.
And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are the children of harlotry.
5 Quia fornicata est mater eorum, confusa est quæ concepit eos: quia dixit: Vadam post amatores meos, qui dant panes mihi, et aquas meas, lanam meam, et linum meum, oleum meum, et potum meum.
For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.
6 Propter hoc, ecce, ego sepiam viam tuam spinis, et sepiam eam maceria, et semitas suas non inveniet.
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
7 Et sequetur amatores suos, et non apprehendet eos: et quæret eos, et non inveniet, et dicet: Vadam, et revertar ad virum meum priorem: quia bene mihi erat tunc magis quam nunc.
And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
8 Et hæc nescivit, quia ego dedi ei frumentum, et vinum, et oleum, et argentum multiplicavi ei, et aurum, quæ fecerunt Baal.
For she did not know that I gave her grain, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
9 Idcirco convertar, et sumam frumentum meum in tempore suo, et vinum meum in tempore suo, et liberabo lanam meam et linum meum, quæ operiebant ignominiam eius.
Therefore will I return, and take away my grain in its time, and my wine in its season, and I will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
10 Et nunc revelabo stultitiam eius in oculis amatorum eius: et vir non eruet eam de manu mea:
And now will I uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.
11 et cessare faciam omne gaudium eius, sollemnitatem eius, neomeniam eius, sabbatum eius, et omnia festa tempora eius.
I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
12 Et corrumpam vineam eius, et ficum eius: de quibus dixit: Mercedes hæ, meæ sunt, quas dederunt mihi amatores mei: et ponam eam in saltum, et comedet eam bestia agri.
And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, of which she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
13 Et visitabo super eam dies Baalim, quibus accendebat incensum, et ornabatur inaure sua, et monili suo, et ibat post amatores suos, et mei obliviscebatur, dicit Dominus.
And I will judge her for the days of Baalim, in which she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith the LORD.
14 Propter hoc, ecce, ego lactabo eam, et ducam eam in solitudinem: et loquar ad cor eius.
Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak kindly to her.
15 Et dabo ei vinitores eius ex eodem loco, et Vallem Achor ad aperiendam spem: et canet ibi iuxta dies iuventutis suæ, et iuxta dies ascensionis suæ de Terra Ægypti.
And I will give her her vineyards there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came from the land of Egypt.
16 Et erit in die illa, ait Dominus: vocabit me: Vir meus: et non vocabit me ultra, Baali.
And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
17 Et auferam nomina Baalim de ore eius, et non recordabitur ultra nominis eorum.
For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
18 Et percutiam cum eis fœdus in die illa, cum bestia agri, et cum volucre cæli, et cum reptili terræ: et arcum, et gladium, et bellum conteram de terra: et dormire eos faciam fiducialiter.
And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down in safety.
19 Et sponsabo te mihi in sempiternum: et sponsabo te mihi in iustitia, et iudicio, et in misericordia, et in miserationibus.
And I will betroth thee to me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee to me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20 Et sponsabo te mihi in fide: et scies quia ego Dominus.
I will even betroth thee to me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.
21 Et erit in die illa: Exaudiam, dicit Dominus, exaudiam cælos, et illi exaudient terram.
And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
22 Et terra exaudiet triticum, et vinum, et oleum: et hæc exaudient Iezrahel.
And the earth shall hear the grain, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
23 Et seminabo eam mihi in terra, et miserebor eius, quæ fuit Absque Misericordia. Et dicam Non Populo Meo: Populus meus es tu: et ipse dicet: Deus meus es tu.
And I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them who were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
