Prophetia Osee, 14

1. Poenas solvet Samaria, quoniam rebellavit contra Deum suum: in gladio peribunt, parvuli eorum elidentur, et praegnantes discindentur.

1. Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity.

2. Convertere, Israel, ad Dominum Deum tuum, quoniam corruisti in iniquitate tua.

2. Take with you words and return to the LORD; say to him, "Take away all iniquity; accept that which is good and we will render the fruit of our lips.

3. Tollite vobiscum verba et convertimini ad Dominum; dicite ei: “Omnem aufer iniquitatem et accipe bonum, et reddemus fructum labiorum nostrorum.

3. Assyria shall not save us, we will not ride upon horses; and we will say no more, `Our God,' to the work of our hands. In thee the orphan finds mercy."

4. Assyria non salvabit nos; super equum non ascendemus nec vocabimus ultra: “Deos nostros!” opera manuum nostrarum, quia in te misericordiam consequetur pupillus”.

4. I will heal their faithlessness; I will love them freely, for my anger has turned from them.

5. “Sanabo praevaricationem eorum, diligam eos spontanee, quia aversus est furor meus ab eis.

5. I will be as the dew to Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, he shall strike root as the poplar;

6. Ero quasi ros pro Israel; germinabit quasi lilium et mittet radices suas ut Libanus.

6. his shoots shall spread out; his beauty shall be like the olive, and his fragrance like Lebanon.

7. Expandentur rami eius; et erit quasi oliva gloria eius, et odor eius ut Libani.

7. They shall return and dwell beneath my shadow, they shall flourish as a garden; they shall blossom as the vine, their fragrance shall be like the wine of Lebanon.

8. Convertentur sedentes in umbra mea, colent triticum et germinabunt quasi vinea; memoriale eius sicut vinum Libani.

8. O E'phraim, what have I to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after you. I am like an evergreen cypress, from me comes your fruit.

9. Ephraim, quid ei ultra idola? Ego exaudio et respicio in eum. Ego ut abies virens: ex me fructus tuus invenitur”.

9. Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the LORD are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them.

10. Qui sapiens est, intellegat ista; intellegens sciat haec! Quia rectae viae Domini, et iusti ambulabunt in eis; praevaricatores vero corruent in eis.

10.
