NEW JERUSALEMVULGATA
1 When Israel was a child I loved him, and I cal ed my son out of Egypt.1 Sicut mane transiit, pertransiit rex Israël.
Quia puer Israël, et dilexi eum ;
et ex Ægypto 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 Vocaverunt eos, sic abierunt a facie eorum ;
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 quasi nutritius 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 Adam traham eos,
in vinculis caritatis ;
et ero eis quasi exaltans jugum super maxillas eorum,
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 Non revertetur in terram Ægypti, et Assur ipse rex ejus,
quoniam noluerunt converti.
6 the sword wil rage through his cities, destroying the bars of his gates, devouring them because oftheir plots.6 Cœpit gladius in civitatibus ejus,
et consumet electos ejus,
et comedet capita eorum.
7 My people are bent on disregarding me; if they are summoned to come up, not one of them makes amove.7 Et populus meus pendebit ad reditum meum ;
jugum autem imponetur eis simul, quod non auferetur.
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 ?
protegam te, Israël ?
Quomodo dabo te sicut Adama,
ponam te ut Seboim ?
Conversum est in me cor meum,
pariter conturbata est pœnitudo 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 iræ meæ ;
non convertar ut disperdam Ephraim,
quoniam Deus ego, et non homo ;
in medio tui sanctus,
et non ingrediar civitatem.
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 formidabunt filii maris.
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 Ægypto,
et quasi columba de terra Assyriorum :
et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.
12 Circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim,
et in dolo domus Israël ;
Judas autem testis descendit cum Deo,
et cum sanctis fidelis.
