1 Loquente Ephraim, horror factus est; dux erat in Israel. Et deliquit in Baal et mortuus est.	1 While Ephraim was speaking, a horror entered Israel, and he offended by Baal, and he 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 And now they add that they will be sinning more. And they have made themselves an image cast from their silver, just like the image of idols; but the whole thing has been made by craftsmen. These say to them, “Sacrifice men, you who adore calves.”
3 Idcirco erunt quasi nubes matutina et sicut ros matutinus praeteriens, sicut palea turbine rapta ex area et sicut fumus de fumario.	3 For this reason, they will be like the morning clouds, and like the morning dew that passes away, just like the dust that is driven by a whirlwind away from the threshing floor, and like the smoke from a chimney.
4 “ Ego autem Dominus, Deus tuus ex terra Aegypti; et Deum absque me nescies, et salvator non est praeter me.	4 But I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt, and you will not know God apart from me, and there is no Savior except me.
5 Ego pavi te in deserto, in terra ardenti solitudinis.	5 I knew you in the desert, in the land of solitude.
6 Iuxta pascua sua saturati sunt et saturati elevaverunt cor suum, propterea obliti sunt mei.	6 According to their pastures, they have been filled up and have been satisfied. And they have lifted up their heart, and they have forgotten me.
7 Et ego ero eis quasi leaena, sicut pardus iuxta viam insidiabor.	7 And I will be to them like a lioness, like a leopard in the way of the Assyrians.
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 run to meet them like a bear that has been robbed of her young, and I will split open the middle of their liver. And I will devour them there like a lion; the beast of the field will tear them apart.
9 Perdo te, Israel; quis est auxiliator tuus?	9 Perdition is yours, Israel. Your help is only in me.
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 is your king? Now, especially, let him save you in all your cities, and from your judges, about whom you said, “Give me kings and princes.”
11 Do tibi regem in furore meo et aufero in indignatione mea.	11 I will give you a king in my wrath, and I will take him away in my indignation.
12 Colligata est iniquitas Ephraim, absconditum peccatum eius.	12 The iniquity of Ephraim has been bound; his sin has been engulfed.
13 Dolores parturientis venient ei; erit filius non sapiens: suo enim tempore non stabit in ore vulvae.	13 The pains of giving birth will reach him. He is an unwise son. For now he will not remain firm during the contrition of his sons.
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 I will free them from the hand of death; from death I will redeem them. Death, I will be your death. Hell, I will be your deadly wound. Consolation is hidden from my eyes.
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 For he will make a division among brothers. The Lord will bring a burning wind, rising up from the desert, and it will dry up his streams, and it will make his fountain desolate, and he will tear apart every collection of desirable useful things.
