Osee Propheta 13

1 loquente Ephraim horror invasit Israhel et deliquit in Baal et mortuus est

When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling; he exalted himself in Israel: but he trespassed through Baal, and he died.

2 et nunc addiderunt ad peccandum feceruntque sibi conflatile de argento suo quasi similitudinem idolorum factura artificum totum est his ipsi dicunt immolate homines vitulos adorantes

And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.

3 idcirco erunt quasi nubes matutina et sicut ros matutinus praeteriens sicut pulvis turbine raptus ex area et sicut fumus de fumario

Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the lattice.

4 ego autem Dominus Deus tuus ex terra Aegypti et Deum absque me nescies et salvator non est praeter me

Yet I [am] Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou hast known no God but me; and there is no saviour besides me.

5 ego cognovi te in deserto in terra solitudinis

I knew thee in the wilderness, in the land of drought.

6 iuxta pascua sua et adimpleti sunt et saturati elevaverunt cor suum et obliti sunt mei

According to their pasture, they became full; they became full, and their heart was exalted: therefore have they forgotten me.

7 et ero eis quasi leaena sicut pardus in via Assyriorum

And I will be unto them as a lion; as a leopard I will lurk for them by the way;

8 occurram eis quasi ursa raptis catulis et disrumpam interiora iecoris eorum et consumam eos ibi quasi leo bestia agri scindet eos

I will meet them as a bear bereaved of her [whelps], and will rend the covering of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lioness: the beast of the field shall tear them.

9 perditio tua Israhel tantummodo in me auxilium tuum

It is thy destruction, O Israel, that [thou art] against me, against thy help.

10 ubi est rex tuus maxime nunc salvet te in omnibus urbibus tuis et iudices tui de quibus dixisti da mihi regem et principes

Where then is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? —

11 dabo tibi regem in furore meo et auferam in indignatione mea

I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.

12 conligata est iniquitas Ephraim absconditum peccatum eius

The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid by in store.

13 dolores parturientis venient ei ipse filius non sapiens nunc enim non stabit in contritione filiorum

The pangs of a woman in travail shall come upon him: he is a son not wise; for at the time of the breaking forth of children, he was not there.

14 de manu mortis liberabo eos de morte redimam eos ero mors tua o mors ero morsus tuus inferne consolatio abscondita est ab oculis meis (Sheol h7585)

I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death: where, O death, are thy plagues? where, O Sheol, is thy destruction? Repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)

15 quia ipse inter fratres dividet adducet urentem ventum Dominus de deserto ascendentem et siccabit venas eius et desolabit fontem eius et ipse diripiet thesaurum omnis vasis desiderabilis

Though he be fruitful among [his] brethren, an east wind shall come, a wind of Jehovah [that] cometh up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.

16 pereat Samaria quoniam ad amaritudinem concitavit Dominum suum in gladio pereat parvuli eorum elidantur et fetae eius discindantur

Samaria shall bear her guilt; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
