Hosea 14

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 Let Samaria perish, because she has urged her God towards bitterness. Let them perish by the sword, let their little ones be thrown down, and let their pregnant women be cut in two.	1 Poenas solvet Samaria, quoniam rebellavit contra Deum suum: in gladio peribunt, parvuli eorum elidentur, et praegnantes discindentur.
2 Israel, convert to the Lord your God. For you have been ruined by your own iniquity.	2 Convertere, Israel, ad Dominum Deum tuum, quoniam corruisti in iniquitate tua.
3 Take these words with you and return to the Lord. And say to him, “Remove all iniquity and accept the good. And we will repay the calves of our lips.	3 Tollite vobiscum verba et convertimini ad Dominum; dicite ei: “ Omnem aufer iniquitatem et accipe bonum, et reddemus fructum labiorum nostrorum.
4 Assur will not save us; we will not ride on horses. Neither will we say any more, ‘The works of our hands are our gods,’ for those that are in you will have mercy on the orphan.”	4 Assyria non salvabit nos; super equum non ascendemus nec vocabimus ultra: “Deos nostros!” opera manuum nostrarum, quia in te misericordiam consequetur pupillus ”.
5 I will heal their contrition; I will love them spontaneously. For my wrath has been turned away from them.	5 “ Sanabo praevaricationem eorum, diligam eos spontanee, quia aversus est furor meus ab eis.
6 I will be like the dew; Israel will spring forth like the lily, and his root will spread out like that of the cedars of Lebanon.	6 Ero quasi ros pro Israel; germinabit quasi lilium et mittet radices suas ut Libanus.
7 His branches will advance, and his glory will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance will be like that of the cedars of Lebanon.	7 Expandentur rami eius; et erit quasi oliva gloria eius, et odor eius ut Libani.
8 They will be converted, sitting in his shadow. They will live on wheat, and they will grow like a vine. His memorial will be like the wine of the cedars of Lebanon.	8 Convertentur sedentes in umbra mea, colent triticum et germinabunt quasi vinea; memoriale eius sicut vinum Libani.
9 Ephraim will say, “What are idols to me any more?” I will listen to him, and I will set him straight like a healthy spruce tree. Your fruit has been found by me.	9 Ephraim, quid ei ultra idola? Ego exaudio et respicio in eum. Ego ut abies virens: ex me fructus tuus invenitur ”.
10 Who is wise and will understand this? Who has understanding and will know these things? For the ways of the Lord are straight, and the just will walk in them, but truly, the traitors will fall in them.	10 Qui sapiens est, intellegat ista; intellegens sciat haec! Quia rectae viae Domini, et iusti ambulabunt in eis; praevaricatores vero corruent in eis.
