Osee Propheta 13
1 loquente Ephraim horror invasit Israhel et deliquit in Baal et mortuus est
When Ephraim used to speak there was trembling; a prince was he in Israel. But he incurred guilt through Baal and 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 go on sinning. They make for themselves molten gods – idols of silver, skillfully made, wholly the work of smiths. Yet to such they sacrifice! And they who sacrifice kiss calf idols!
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 like the morning mist, like the dew that early disappears, like the chaff which blows away from the threshing floor, like the smoke from the window.
4 ego autem Dominus Deus tuus ex terra Aegypti et Deum absque me nescies et salvator non est praeter me
Yet it was I, the Lord your God, ever since the land of Egypt, you know no other god but me, nor has there been any savior except me.
5 ego cognovi te in deserto in terra solitudinis
It was I who shepherded you in the wilderness, in the land of burning heat.
6 iuxta pascua sua et adimpleti sunt et saturati elevaverunt cor suum et obliti sunt mei
When they were pastured they became full, when they were full their hearts became proud. Therefore they forgot me!
7 et ero eis quasi leaena sicut pardus in via Assyriorum
So now I will be to them like a lion, like a leopard will I lay in wait by the path.
8 occurram eis quasi ursa raptis catulis et disrumpam interiora iecoris eorum et consumam eos ibi quasi leo bestia agri scindet eos
I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs, I will tear open their chests, like a lion will devour them, and like a wild beast will tear them in pieces.
9 perditio tua Israhel tantummodo in me auxilium tuum
You are destroyed, Israel, by me, your only helper.
10 ubi est rex tuus maxime nunc salvet te in omnibus urbibus tuis et iudices tui de quibus dixisti da mihi regem et principes
I want to rule you! Where are your princes in your cities, those of whom you demanded, “Give me kings and princes.”
11 dabo tibi regem in furore meo et auferam in indignatione mea
I give you kings in my anger, and take them away in my wrath.
12 conligata est iniquitas Ephraim absconditum peccatum eius
Ephrahn’s iniquity is gathered 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 childbirth come upon him, but he is an unwise child. For this is no time to refuse to leave the womb!
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)
Should I deliver them from the power of Sheol? Should I redeem them from death? Death, where are your plagues? Sheol, where is your pestilence? Compassion is forever hidden from my 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 is flourishing among his brothers, there will come an east wind, the Lord’s wind, coming up from the wilderness. His fountain will dry up, his spring shall be parched. The wind will strip the treasury, all the precious things.
16 pereat Samaria quoniam ad amaritudinem concitavit Dominum suum in gladio pereat parvuli eorum elidantur et fetae eius discindantur
Samaria will bear her guilt, for she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword, their children dashed to pieces, their pregnant women ripped open.
