Osee Propheta 8
1 In gutture tuo sit tuba quasi aquila super domum Domini: pro eo quod transgressi sunt fœdus meum, et legem meam prævaricati sunt.
Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
2 Me invocabunt: Deus meus cognovimus te Israel.
Israel shall cry to me, My God, we know thee.
3 Proiecit Israel bonum, inimicus persequetur eum.
Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
4 Ipsi regnaverunt, et non ex me: principes exstiterunt, et non cognovi: argentum suum, et aurum suum fecerunt sibi idola, ut interirent:
They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made for themselves idols, that they may be cut off.
5 proiectus est vitulus tuus Samaria, iratus est furor meus in eos. Usquequo non poterunt emundari?
Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
6 Quia ex Israel et ipse est: artifex fecit illum, et non est Deus: quoniam in aranearum telas erit vitulus Samariæ.
For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 Quia ventum seminabunt, et turbinem metent: culmus stans non est in eo, germen non faciet farinam: quod et si fecerit, alieni comedent eam.
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if it shall yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
8 Devoratus est Israel: nunc factus est in nationibus quasi vas immundum.
Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel in which is no pleasure.
9 Quia ipsi ascenderunt ad Assur, onager solitarius sibi: Ephraim munera dederunt amatoribus.
For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild donkey alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10 Sed et cum mercede conduxerint nationes, nunc congregabo eos: et quiescent paulisper ab onere regis, et principum.
Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
11 Quia multiplicavit Ephraim altaria ad peccandum: factæ sunt ei aræ in delictum.
Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be to him to sin.
12 Scribam ei multiplices leges meas, quæ velut alienæ computatæ sunt.
I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
13 Hostias offerent, immolabunt carnes, et comedent, et Dominus non suscipiet eas: nunc recordabitur iniquitatis eorum, et visitabit peccata eorum: ipsi in Ægyptum convertentur.
They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of my offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and judge their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
14 Et oblitus est Israel Factoris sui, et ædificavit delubra: et Iudas multiplicavit urbes munitas: et mittam ignem in civitates eius, et devorabit ædes illius.
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour his palaces.
