Hosea 6

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 Come, let us return to Yahweh. He has rent us and he wil heal us; he has struck us and he will bind upour wounds;	1 “Venite, et revertamur ad Do minum, quia ipse laceravit et sanabit nos, percussit et curabit nos.
2 after two days he wil revive us, on the third day he wil raise us up and we shal live in his presence.	2 Vivificabit nos post duos dies, in die tertia suscitabit nos, et vivemus in conspectu eius.
3 Let us know, let us strive to know Yahweh; that he will come is as certain as the dawn. He wil come tous like a shower, like the rain of springtime to the earth.	3 Sciamus sequamurque, ut cognoscamus Dominum. Quasi diluculum praeparatus est egressus eius, et veniet quasi imber nobis temporaneus, quasi imber serotinus irrigans terram”.
4 What am I to do with you, Ephraim? What am I to do with you, Judah? For your love is like morningmist, like the dew that quickly disappears.	4 Quid faciam tibi, Ephraim? Quid faciam tibi, Iuda? Caritas vestra quasi nubes matutina et quasi ros mane pertransiens.
5 This is why I have hacked them to pieces by means of the prophets, why I have kil ed them with wordsfrom my mouth, why my sentence wil blaze forth like the dawn-	5 Propter hoc dolavi per prophetas, occidi eos in verbis oris mei, sed ius meum quasi lux egredietur;
6 for faithful love is what pleases me, not sacrifice; knowledge of God, not burnt offerings.	6 quia caritatem volo et non sacrificium, et scientiam Dei plus quam holocausta.
7 But they have broken the covenant at Adam, there they have betrayed me.	7 Ipsi autem in Adam transgressi sunt pactum; ibi praevaricati sunt in me.
8 Gilead is a city of evil-doers, ful of bloody footprints.	8 Galaad civitas operantium iniquitatem maculata sanguine.
9 Like so many robbers in ambush, a gang of priests commits murder on the road to Shechem- whatinfamous behaviour!	9 Et quasi insidiantes virum latrones caterva sacerdotum; in via interficiunt pergentes Sichem, vere scelus operantur.
10 At Bethel I have seen a horrible thing; there Ephraim plays the whore, Israel is befouled.	10 In domo Israel vidi horrendum: ibi fornicationes Ephraim, contaminatus est Israel.
11 For you too, Judah, a harvest is in store, when I restore my people's fortunes.	11 Sed et tibi, Iuda, parata est messis, cum convertero sortem populi mei.
