Osee Propheta 11
1 Sicut mane transiit, pertransiit rex Israel. Quia puer Israel, et dilexi eum: et ex Ægypto vocavi filium meum.
When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
2 Vocaverunt eos, sic abierunt a facie eorum: Baalim immolabant, et simulachris sacrificabant.
[As] they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
3 Et ego quasi nutricius Ephraim, portabam eos in brachiis meis: et nescierunt quod curarem eos.
I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
4 In funiculis Adam traham eos, in vinculis charitatis: et ero eis quasi exaltans iugum super maxillas eorum: et declinavi ad eum ut vesceretur.
I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid food for them.
5 Non revertetur in Terram Ægypti, et Assur ipse rex eius: quoniam noluerunt converti.
He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
6 Cœpit gladius in civitatibus eius, et consumet electos eius, et comedet capita eorum.
And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour [them], because of their own counsels.
7 Et populus meus pendebit ad reditum meum: iugum autem imponetur eis simul, quod non auferetur.
And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt [him].
8 Quomodo dabo te Ephraim, protegam te Israel? quomodo dabo te sicut Adama, ponam te, ut Seboim? Conversum est in me cor meum, pariter conturbata est pœnitudo mea.
How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? [how] shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? [how] shall I set thee as Zeboim? my heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
9 Non faciam furorem iræ meæ: non convertar ut disperdam Ephraim: quoniam Deus ego, et non homo: in medio tui sanctus, et non ingrediar civitatem.
I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I [am] God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
10 Post Dominum ambulabunt, quasi leo rugiet: quia ipse rugiet, et formidabunt filii maris.
They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
11 Et avolabunt quasi avis ex Ægypto, et quasi columba de Terra Assyriorum: et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.
They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.
12 Circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim, et in dolo domus Israel: Iudas autem testis descendit cum Deo, et cum sanctis fidelis.
Ephraim encompasseth me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
