Osee Propheta 7
1 Cum sanare vellem Israel, revelata est iniquitas Ephraim, et malitia Samariæ, quia operati sunt mendacium: et fur ingressus est spolians, latrunculus foris.
When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was disclosed, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, [and] the troop of robbers strippeth without.
2 Et ne forte dicant in cordibus suis omnem malitiam eorum me recordatum: nunc circumdederunt eos adinventiones suæ, coram facie mea factæ sunt.
And they consider not in their hearts [that] I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them around; they are before my face.
3 In malitia sua lætificaverunt regem: et in mendaciis suis principes.
They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
4 Omnes adulterantes, quasi clibanus succensus a coquente: quievit paululum civitas a commistione fermenti, donec fermentaretur totum.
They [are] all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, [who] ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it is leavened.
5 Dies regis nostri: cœperunt principes furere a vino: extendit manum suam cum illusoribus.
In the day of our king the princes have made [him] sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
6 Quia applicuerunt quasi clibanum cor suum, cum insidiaretur eis: tota nocte dormivit coquens eos, mane ipse succensus quasi ignis flammæ.
For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
7 Omnes calefacti sunt quasi clibanus, et devoraverunt iudices suos: omnes reges eorum ceciderunt: non est qui clamat in eis ad me.
They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: [there is] none among them that calleth to me.
8 Ephraim in populis ipse commiscebatur: Ephraim factus est subcinericius panis, qui non reversatur.
Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9 Comederunt alieni robur eius, et ipse nescivit: sed et cani effusi sunt in eo, et ipse ignoravit.
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth [it] not: yes, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
10 Et humiliabitur superbia Israel in facie eius: nec reversi sunt ad Dominum Deum suum, et non quæsierunt eum in omnibus his.
And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
11 Et factus est Ephraim quasi columba seducta non habens cor: Ægyptum invocabant, ad Assyrios abierunt.
Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
12 Et cum profecti fuerint, expandam super eos rete meum: quasi volucrem cæli detraham eos, cædam eos secundum auditionem cœtus eorum.
When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
13 Væ eis, quoniam recesserunt a me: vastabuntur, quia prævaricati sunt in me: et ego redemi eos: et ipsi locuti sunt contra me mendacia.
Woe to them! for they have fled from me: destruction to them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
14 Et non clamaverunt ad me in corde suo, sed ululabant in cubilibus suis: super triticum et vinum ruminabant, recesserunt a me.
And they have not cried to me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, [and] they rebel against me.
15 Et ego erudivi eos, et confortavi brachia eorum: et in me cogitaverunt malitiam.
Though I have bound [and] strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
16 Reversi sunt ut essent absque iugo: facti sunt quasi arcus dolosus: cadent in gladio principes eorum, a furore linguæ suæ. Ista subsannatio eorum in Terra Ægypti.
They return, [but] not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this [shall be] their derision in the land of Egypt.
