KING JAMES BIBLENOVA VULGATA
1 When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.1 Loquente Ephraim, horror factus est;
dux erat in Israel.
Et deliquit in Baal
et mortuus est.
2 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.2 Et nunc addunt ad peccandum
faciuntque sibi conflatile de argento suo,
secundum intellegentiam suam simulacra;
factura artificum totum est.
“ His — ipsi dicunt — immolate! ”.
Homines vitulos osculantur.
3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.3 Idcirco erunt quasi nubes matutina
et sicut ros matutinus praeteriens,
sicut palea turbine rapta ex area
et sicut fumus de fumario.
4 Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.4 “ Ego autem Dominus, Deus tuus
ex terra Aegypti;
et Deum absque me nescies,
et salvator non est praeter me.
5 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.5 Ego pavi te in deserto,
in terra ardenti solitudinis.
6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.6 Iuxta pascua sua saturati sunt
et saturati elevaverunt cor suum,
propterea obliti sunt mei.
7 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:7 Et ego ero eis quasi leaena,
sicut pardus iuxta viam insidiabor.
8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.8 Occurram eis quasi ursa, raptis catulis,
et dirumpam claustrum cordis eorum:
et consumam eos ibi quasi leo;
bestia agri scindet eos.
9 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.9 Perdo te, Israel;
quis est auxiliator tuus?
10 I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?10 Ubinam est rex tuus,
ut salvet te in omnibus urbibus tuis,
et iudices tui, de quibus dixisti:
“Da mihi regem et principes”?
11 I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.11 Do tibi regem in furore meo
et aufero in indignatione mea.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.12 Colligata est iniquitas Ephraim,
absconditum peccatum eius.
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.13 Dolores parturientis venient ei;
erit filius non sapiens:
suo enim tempore non stabit
in ore vulvae.
14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.14 De manu inferni liberabo eos,
de morte redimam eos?
Ubi pestilentiae tuae, o mors?
Ubi pestis tua, inferne?
Consolatio abscondita est ab oculis meis ”.
15 Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.15 Dum ipse inter fratres fructificat,
veniet ventus urens, ventus Domini
de deserto ascendens,
et siccabit venas eius
et desolabit fontem eius.
Ipse diripiet thesaurum,
omne vas desiderabile.
16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
