Osea 13

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Loquente Ephraim, horror factus est; dux erat in Israel. Et deliquit in Baal et mortuus est.	1 Ephraim's word caused fear, for he was exalted in Israel; but he sinned through Baal and died.
2 Et nunc addunt ad peccandum faciuntque sibi conflatile de argento suo, secundum intellegentiam suam simulacra; factura artificum totum est. “ His — ipsi dicunt — immolate! ”. Homines vitulos osculantur.	2 Now they continue to sin, making for themselves molten images, Silver idols according to their fancy, all of them the work of artisans. "To these," they say, "offer sacrifice." Men kiss calves!
3 Idcirco erunt quasi nubes matutina et sicut ros matutinus praeteriens, sicut palea turbine rapta ex area et sicut fumus de fumario.	3 Therefore, they shall be like a morning cloud or like the dew that early passes away, Like chaff storm-driven from the threshing floor or like smoke out of the window.
4 “ Ego autem Dominus, Deus tuus ex terra Aegypti; et Deum absque me nescies, et salvator non est praeter me.	4 I am the LORD, your God, since the land of Egypt; You know no God besides me, and there is no savior but me.
5 Ego pavi te in deserto, in terra ardenti solitudinis.	5 I fed you in the desert, in the torrid land.
6 Iuxta pascua sua saturati sunt et saturati elevaverunt cor suum, propterea obliti sunt mei.	6 They ate their fill; when filled, they became proud of heart and forgot me.
7 Et ego ero eis quasi leaena, sicut pardus iuxta viam insidiabor.	7 Therefore, I will be like a lion to them, like a panther by the road I will keep watch.
8 Occurram eis quasi ursa, raptis catulis, et dirumpam claustrum cordis eorum: et consumam eos ibi quasi leo; bestia agri scindet eos.	8 I will attack them like a bear robbed of its young, and tear their hearts from their breasts; I will devour them on the spot like a lion, as though a wild beast were to rend them.
9 Perdo te, Israel; quis est auxiliator tuus?	9 Your destruction, O Israel! who is there to help you?
10 Ubinam est rex tuus, ut salvet te in omnibus urbibus tuis, et iudices tui, de quibus dixisti: “Da mihi regem et principes”?	10 Where now is your king, that he may rescue you in all your cities? And your rulers, of whom you said, "Give me a king and princes"?
11 Do tibi regem in furore meo et aufero in indignatione mea.	11 I give you a king in my anger, and I take him away in my wrath.
12 Colligata est iniquitas Ephraim, absconditum peccatum eius.	12 The guilt of Israel is wrapped up, his sin is stored away.
13 Dolores parturientis venient ei; erit filius non sapiens: suo enim tempore non stabit in ore vulvae.	13 The birth pangs shall come for him, but he shall be an unwise child; For when it is time he shall not present himself where children break forth.
14 De manu inferni liberabo eos, de morte redimam eos? Ubi pestilentiae tuae, o mors? Ubi pestis tua, inferne? Consolatio abscondita est ab oculis meis ”.	14 Shall I deliver them from the power of the nether world? shall I redeem them from death? Where are your plagues, O death! where is your sting, O nether world! My eyes are closed to compassion.
15 Dum ipse inter fratres fructificat, veniet ventus urens, ventus Domini de deserto ascendens, et siccabit venas eius et desolabit fontem eius. Ipse diripiet thesaurum, omne vas desiderabile.	15 Though he be fruitful among his fellows, an east wind shall come, a wind from the LORD, rising from the desert, That shall dry up his spring, and leave his fountain dry. It shall loot his land of every precious thing.
