The Prophecy of Osee
Chapter 13
|
|
13:1 When Ephraim spoke, a horror seized Israel: and he sinned in Baal, and died. Loquente Ephraim, horror invasit Israël; et deliquit in Baal, et mortuus est.
|
|
13:2 And now they have sinned more and more: and they have made to themselves a molten thing of their silver, as the likeness of idols, the whole is the work of craftsmen: to these that say: Sacrifice men, ye that adore calves. 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.
|
|
13:3 Therefore they shall be as a morning aloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the dust that is driven with a whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney. Idcirco erunt quasi nubes matutina, et sicut ros matutinus præteriens; sicut pulvis turbine raptus ex area, et sicut fumus de fumario.
|
|
13:4 But I am the Lord, thy God, from the land of Egypt: and thou shalt know no God but me, and there is no saviour beside me. Ego autem Dominus Deus tuus, ex terra Ægypti; et Deum absque me nescies, et salvator non est præter me.
|
|
13:5 I knew thee in the desert, in the land of the wilderness. Ego cognovi te in deserto, in terra solitudinis.
|
|
13:6 According to their pastures they were filled, and were made full: and they lifted up their heart, and have forgotten me. Juxta pascua sua adimpleti sunt et saturati sunt; et levaverunt cor suum, et obliti sunt mei.
|
|
13:7 And I will be to them as a lioness, as a leopard in the way of the Assyrians. Et ego ero eis quasi leæna, sicut pardus in via Assyriorum.
|
|
13:8 I will meet them as a bear that is robbed of her whelps, and I will rend the inner parts of their liver: and I will devour them there as a lion, the beast of the field shall tear them. Occurram eis quasi ursa raptis catulis, et dirumpam interiora jecoris eorum, et consumam eos ibi quasi leo: bestia agri scindet eos.
|
|
13:9 Destruction is thy own, O Israel: thy help is only in me. Perditio tua, Israël: tantummodo in me auxilium tuum.
|
|
13:10 Where is thy king? now especially let him save thee in all thy cities: and thy judges, of whom thou saidst: Give me kings and princes. Ubi est rex tuus? maxime nunc salvet te in omnibus urbibus tuis; et judices tui, de quibus dixisti: Da mihi regem et principes.
|
|
13:11 I will give thee a king in my wrath, and will take him away in my indignation. Dabo tibi regem in furore meo, et auferam in indignatione mea.
|
|
13:12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up, his sin is hidden. Colligata est iniquitas Ephraim; absconditum peccatum ejus.
|
|
13:13 The sorrows of a woman in labour shall come upon him, he is an unwise son: for now he shall not stand in the breach of the children. Dolores parturientis venient ei: ipse filius non sapiens: nunc enim non stabit in contritione filiorum.
|
|
13:14 I will deliver them out of the hand of death. I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy death; O hell, I will be thy bite: comfort is hidden from my eyes, De manu mortis liberabo eos; de morte redimam eos. Ero mors tua, o mors ! morsus tuus ero, inferne ! consolatio abscondita est ab oculis meis.
|
|
13:15 Because he shall make a separation between brothers: the Lord will bring a burning wind that shall rise from the desert: and it shall dry up his springs, and shall make his fountain desolate, and he shall carry off the treasure of every desirable vessel. Quia ipse inter fratres dividet: adducet urentem ventum Dominus de deserto ascendentem, et siccabit venas ejus, et desolabit fontem ejus: et ipse diripiet thesaurum omnis vasis desiderabilis.
