Prophetia Osee, 7
1. Cum sanare vellem Israel, revelata est iniquitas Ephraim et malitia Samariae, quia operati sunt mendacium; et fur ingressus est, foris autem spoliat turma latronum.
1. when I would heal Israel, the corruption of E'phraim is revealed, and the wicked deeds of Sama'ria; for they deal falsely, the thief breaks in, and the bandits raid without.
2. Et non dicunt in cordibus suis omnem malitiam eorum me recordari. Nunc circumdederunt eos opera sua, coram facie mea facta sunt.
2. But they do not consider that I remember all their evil works. Now their deeds encompass them, they are before my face.
3. In malitia sua laetificaverunt regem et in mendaciis suis principes.
3. By their wickedness they make the king glad, and the princes by their treachery.
4. Omnes adulterantes; quasi clibanus succensus illi, pistor cessat excitare ignem a commixtione fermenti, donec fermentetur totum.
4. They are all adulterers; they are like a heated oven, whose baker ceases to stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
5. Die regis nostri infirmi facti sunt principes ardore vini, quod apprehendit protervos.
5. On the day of our king the princes became sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with mockers.
6. Quia applicuerunt quasi clibanum cor suum in insidiando; tota nocte dormivit ira eorum, mane ipsa ardet quasi ignis flammae.
6. For like an oven their hearts burn with intrigue; all night their anger smolders; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7. Omnes calefacti sunt quasi clibanus et devorant iudices suos. Omnes reges eorum ceciderunt; non est qui clamet in eis ad me.
7. All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers. All their kings have fallen; and none of them calls upon me.
8. Ephraim in populis ipse commiscebatur; Ephraim factus est subcinericius panis, qui non reversatur.
8. E'phraim mixes himself with the peoples; E'phraim is a cake not turned.
9. Comederunt alieni robur eius, et ipse nescit; sed et cani effusi sunt in eo, et ipse ignorat.
9. Aliens devour his strength, and he knows it not; gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, and he knows it not.
10. Et testatur superbia Israel in faciem suam, nec reversi sunt ad Dominum Deum suum et non quaesierunt eum in omnibus his.
10. The pride of Israel witnesses against him; yet they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him, for all this.
11. Et factus est Ephraim quasi columba insipiens non habens sensum: Aegyptum invocabant, ad Assyrios abierunt.
11. E'phraim is like a dove, silly and without sense, calling to Egypt, going to Assyria.
12. Et cum profecti fuerint, expandam super eos rete meum; quasi volucrem caeli detraham eos, corripiam eos secundum auditionem coetus eorum.
12. As they go, I will spread over them my net; I will bring them down like birds of the air; I will chastise them for their wicked deeds.
13. Vae eis, quoniam recesserunt a me! Vastabuntur, quia praevaricati sunt in me. Et ego redimam eos, cum ipsi locuti sint contra me mendacia?
13. Woe to them, for they have strayed from me! Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me! I would redeem them, but they speak lies against me.
14. Et non clamaverunt ad me in corde suo, sed ululabant in cubilibus suis; super triticum et vinum se incidebant, contumaces sunt adversum me.
14. They do not cry to me from the heart, but they wail upon their beds; for grain and wine they gash themselves, they rebel against me.
15. Et ego erudivi eos et confortavi brachia eorum, et in me cogitaverunt malitiam.
15. Although I trained and strengthened their arms, yet they devise evil against me.
16. Convertuntur ad eum, qui non prodest, facti sunt quasi arcus dolosus; cadent in gladio principes eorum propter execrationem linguae suae: ista subsannatio eorum in terra Aegypti.
16. They turn to Ba'al; they are like a treacherous bow, their princes shall fall by the sword because of the insolence of their tongue. This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
