Hosea 11

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 When Israel was a child I loved him, out of Egypt I called my son.	1 Cum puer esset Israel, dilexi eum et ex Aegypto vocavi filium meum.
2 The more I called them, the farther they went from me, Sacrificing to the Baals and burning incense to idols.	2 Quanto magis vocabam eos, tanto recesserunt a facie mea; ipsi Baalim immolabant et simulacris sacrificabant.
3 Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk, who took them in my arms;	3 Et ego dirigebam gressus Ephraim, portabam eos in brachiis meis, et nescierunt quod curarem eos.
4 I drew them with human cords, with bands of love; I fostered them like one who raises an infant to his cheeks; Yet, though I stooped to feed my child, they did not know that I was their healer.	4 In funiculis humanitatis trahebam eos, in vinculis caritatis; et fui eis, quasi qui elevant infantem ad maxillas suas, et declinavi ad eum, ut vesceretur.
5 He shall return to the land of Egypt, and Assyria shall be his king;	5 Revertetur in terram Aegypti, et Assur ipse rex eius, quoniam noluerunt converti.
6 The sword shall begin with his cities and end by consuming his solitudes. Because they refused to repent, their own counsels shall devour them.	6 Saeviet gladius in civitatibus eius et consumet garrulos eius et comedet eos propter consilia eorum.
7 His people are in suspense about returning to him; and God, though in unison they cry out to him, shall not raise them up.	7 Populus meus pendet ad praevaricandum contra me; vocant eum ad altum, sed simul non erigunt eum.
8 How could I give you up, O Ephraim, or deliver you up, O Israel? How could I treat you as Admah, or make you like Zeboiim? My heart is overwhelmed, my pity is stirred.	8 Quomodo dabo te, Ephraim, tradam te, Israel? Quomodo dabo te sicut Adama, ponam te ut Seboim? Convertitur in me cor meum, simul exardescit miseratio mea.
9 I will not give vent to my blazing anger, I will not destroy Ephraim again; For I am God and not man, the Holy One present among you; I will not let the flames consume you.	9 Non faciam furorem irae meae, non convertar, ut disperdam Ephraim, quoniam Deus ego et non homo, in medio tui Sanctus et non veniam in terrore.
10 They shall follow the LORD, who roars like a lion; When he roars, his sons shall come frightened from the west,	10 Post Dominum ambulabunt; quasi leo rugiet, quia ipse rugiet, et in tremore accurrent filii ab occidente.
11 Out of Egypt they shall come trembling, like sparrows, from the land of Assyria, like doves; And I will resettle them in their homes, says the LORD.	11 Et avolabunt quasi avis ex Aegypto et quasi columba de terra Assyriae; et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.
