Osea 11

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Cum puer esset Israel, dilexi eum et ex Aegypto vocavi filium meum.	1 When Israel was a child I loved him, out of Egypt I called my son.
2 Quanto magis vocabam eos, tanto recesserunt a facie mea; ipsi Baalim immolabant et simulacris sacrificabant.	2 The more I called them, the farther they went from me, Sacrificing to the Baals and burning incense to idols.
3 Et ego dirigebam gressus Ephraim, portabam eos in brachiis meis, et nescierunt quod curarem eos.	3 Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk, who took them in my arms;
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.	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.
5 Revertetur in terram Aegypti, et Assur ipse rex eius, quoniam noluerunt converti.	5 He shall return to the land of Egypt, and Assyria shall be his king;
6 Saeviet gladius in civitatibus eius et consumet garrulos eius et comedet eos propter consilia eorum.	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.
7 Populus meus pendet ad praevaricandum contra me; vocant eum ad altum, sed simul non erigunt eum.	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.
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.	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.
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.	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.
10 Post Dominum ambulabunt; quasi leo rugiet, quia ipse rugiet, et in tremore accurrent filii ab occidente.	10 They shall follow the LORD, who roars like a lion; When he roars, his sons shall come frightened from the west,
11 Et avolabunt quasi avis ex Aegypto et quasi columba de terra Assyriae; et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.	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.
