Hosea 11

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 When Israel was a child I loved him, and I cal ed my son out of Egypt.	1 Cum puer esset Israel, dilexi eum et ex Aegypto vocavi filium meum.
2 But the more I cal ed, the further they went away from me; they offered sacrifice to Baal and burntincense to idols.	2 Quanto magis vocabam eos, tanto recesserunt a facie mea; ipsi Baalim immolabant et simulacris sacrificabant.
3 I myself taught Ephraim to walk, I myself took them by the arm, but they did not know that I was theone caring for them,	3 Et ego dirigebam gressus Ephraim, portabam eos in brachiis meis, et nescierunt quod curarem eos.
4 that I was leading them with human ties, with leading-strings of love, that, with them, I was likesomeone lifting an infant to his cheek, and that I bent down to feed him.	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 wil not have to go back to Egypt, Assyria wil be his king instead! Since he has refused to comeback to me,	5 Revertetur in terram Aegypti, et Assur ipse rex eius, quoniam noluerunt converti.
6 the sword wil rage through his cities, destroying the bars of his gates, devouring them because oftheir plots.	6 Saeviet gladius in civitatibus eius et consumet garrulos eius et comedet eos propter consilia eorum.
7 My people are bent on disregarding me; if they are summoned to come up, not one of them makes amove.	7 Populus meus pendet ad praevaricandum contra me; vocant eum ad altum, sed simul non erigunt eum.
8 Ephraim, how could I part with you? Israel, how could I give you up? How could I make you likeAdmah or treat you like Zeboi m? My heart within me is overwhelmed, fever grips my inmost being.	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 wil not give rein to my fierce anger, I wil not destroy Ephraim again, for I am God, not man, the HolyOne in your midst, and I shall not come to you in anger.	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 wil fol ow Yahweh; he wil roar like a lion, and when he roars, his children will come flutteringfrom the west,	10 Post Dominum ambulabunt; quasi leo rugiet, quia ipse rugiet, et in tremore accurrent filii ab occidente.
11 fluttering like sparrows from Egypt, like pigeons from Assyria, and I shal settle them in their homes-declares Yahweh.	11 Et avolabunt quasi avis ex Aegypto et quasi columba de terra Assyriae; et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.
