Hosea 7

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	VULGATA
1 When I would bring about the restoration of my people, when I would heal Israel, The guilt of Ephraim stands out, the wickedness of Samaria; They practice falsehood, thieves break in, bandits plunder abroad.	1 Cum sanare vellem Israël, revelata est iniquitas Ephraim, et malitia Samariæ, quia operati sunt mendacium ; et fur ingressus est spolians, latrunculus foris.
2 Yet they do not remind themselves that I remember all their wickedness. Even now their crimes surround them, present to my sight.	2 Et ne forte dicant in cordibus suis, omnem malitiam eorum me recordatum, nunc circumdederunt eos adinventiones suæ : coram facie mea factæ sunt.
3 In their wickedness they regale the king, the princes too, with their deceits.	3 In malitia sua lætificaverunt regem, et in mendaciis suis principes.
4 They are all kindled to wrath like a blazing oven, Whose fire the baker desists from stirring once the dough is kneaded until it has risen.	4 Omnes adulterantes, quasi clibanus succensus a coquente ; quievit paululum civitas a commistione fermenti, donec fermentaretur totum.
5 On the day of our king, the princes are overcome with the heat of wine. He extends his hand among dissemblers;	5 Dies regis nostri : cœperunt principes furere a vino ; extendit manum suam cum illusoribus.
6 the plotters approach with hearts like ovens. All the night their anger sleeps; in the morning it flares like a blazing fire.	6 Quia applicuerunt quasi clibanum cor suum, cum insidiaretur eis ; tota nocte dormivit coquens eos : mane ipse succensus quasi ignis flammæ.
7 They are all heated like ovens, and consume their rulers. All their kings have fallen; none of them calls upon me.	7 Omnes calefacti sunt quasi clibanus, et devoraverunt judices suos : omnes reges eorum ceciderunt ; non est qui clamat in eis ad me.
8 Ephraim mingles with the nations, Ephraim is a hearth cake unturned.	8 Ephraim in populis ipse commiscebatur ; Ephraim factus est subcinericius panis, qui non reversatur.
9 Strangers have sapped his strength, but he takes no notice of it; Of gray hairs, too, there is a sprinkling, but he takes no notice of it.	9 Comederunt alieni robur ejus, et ipse nescivit ; sed et cani effusi sunt in eo, et ipse ignoravit.
10 The arrogance of Israel bears witness against him; yet they do not return to the LORD, their God, nor seek him, for all that.	10 Et humiliabitur superbia Israël in facie ejus ; nec reversi sunt ad Dominum Deum suum, et non quæsierunt eum in omnibus his.
11 Ephraim is like a dove, silly and senseless; They call upon Egypt, they go to Assyria.	11 Et factus est Ephraim quasi columba seducta non habens cor. Ægyptum invocabant ; ad Assyrios abierunt.
12 Even as they go I will spread my net around them, like birds in the air I will bring them down. In an instant I will send them captive from their land.	12 Et cum profecti fuerint, expandam super eos rete meum : quasi volucrem cæli detraham eos ; cædam eos secundum auditionem cœtus eorum.
13 Woe to them, they have strayed from me! Ruin to them, they have sinned against me! Though I wished to redeem them, they spoke lies against me.	13 Væ eis, quoniam recesserunt a me ! vastabuntur, quia prævaricati sunt in me, et ego redemi eos, et ipsi locuti sunt contra me mendacia.
14 They have not cried to me from their hearts when they wailed upon their beds; For wheat and wine they lacerated themselves, while they rebelled against me.	14 Et non clamaverunt ad me in corde suo, sed ululabant in cubilibus suis : super triticum et vinum ruminabant ; recesserunt a me.
15 Though I trained and strengthened their arms, yet they devised evil against me.	15 Et ego erudivi eos, et confortavi brachia eorum, et in me cogitaverunt malitiam.
16 They have again become useless, like a treacherous bow. Their princes shall fall by the sword because of the insolence of their tongues; thus they shall be mocked in the land of Egypt.	16 Reversi sunt ut essent absque jugo ; facti sunt quasi arcus dolosus : cadent in gladio principes eorum, a furore linguæ suæ. Ista subsannatio eorum in terra Ægypti.
