Osea 12

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Circumdedit me in fraude Ephraim, et in dolo domus Israel; C Iudas autem, dum adhuc vagatur, est cum Deo et cum Sancto fidelis ” C.	1 Ephraim feedeth on the wind, and followeth the burning heat: all the day long he multiplied lies and desolation: and he hath made a covenant with the Assyrians, and carried oil into Egypt.
2 Ephraim pascit ventum et sequitur aestum; tota die mendacium et violentiam multiplicat et foedus cum Assyriis init et oleum in Aegyptum fert.	2 Therefore there is a judgment of the Lord with Juda, and a visitation for Jacob: he will render to him according to his ways, and according to his devices.
3 Iudicium ergo Domini cum Iuda, et visitatio super Iacob; iuxta vias eius et iuxta opera eius reddet ei.	3 In the womb he supplanted his brother: and by his strength he had success with an angel.
4 In utero supplantavit fratrem suum et in robore suo luctatus est cum Deo.	4 And he prevailed over the angel, and was strengthened: he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us.
5 Et luctatus est cum angelo et praevaluit; flevit et deprecatus est eum. In Bethel invenit eum et ibi locutus est nobiscum	5 Even the Lord the God of hosts, the Lord is his memorial.
6 Dominus, Deus exercituum: Dominus memoriale eius.	6 Therefore turn thou to thy God : keep mercy and judgment, and hope in thy God always.
7 “ Et tu ad Deum tuum converteris; caritatem et iudicium custodi et spera in Deo tuo semper ”.	7 He is like Chanaan, there is a deceitful balance in his hand, he hath loved oppression.
8 Chanaan, in manu eius statera dolosa, fraudem diligit.	8 And Ephraim said: But yet I am become rich, I have found me an idol: all my labours shall not find me the iniquity that I have committed.
9 Et dixit Ephraim: “ Verumtamen dives effectus sum, inveni opes mihi, omnes labores mei non invenient mihi iniquitatem, quam peccavi ”.	9 And I that am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, will yet cause thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the feast.
10 “ Ego autem Dominus, Deus tuus ex terra Aegypti; adhuc sedere te faciam in tabernaculis, sicut in diebus conventus.	10 And I have spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and I have used similitudes by the ministry of the prophets.
11 Et loquar ad prophetas et ego visionem multiplicabo et in manu prophetarum proponam similitudines ”.	11 If Galaad be an idol, then in vain were they in Galgal offering sacrifices with bullocks: for their altars also are as heaps in the furrows of the field.
12 Si Galaad iniquitas fuerat, prorsus inanes facti sunt; in Galgala bobus immolantes, etiam altaria eorum erunt quasi acervi super sulcos agri.	12 Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and was a keeper for a wife.
13 Fugit Iacob in regionem Aram; et servivit Israel pro uxore et pro uxore custos fuit.	13 But the Lord by a prophet brought Israel out of Egypt: and he was preserved by a prophet.
14 Per prophetam autem eduxit Dominus Israel de Aegypto, et per prophetam custoditus est.	14 Ephraim hath provoked me to wrath with his bitterness, and his blood shall come upon him, and his Lord will render his reproach unto him.
15 Ad iracundiam provocavit Ephraim amarissime, sed sanguinem eius super eum relinquet et opprobrium eius retribuet ei Dominus suus.
