Osea 4

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 “ Audite verbum Domini, filii Israel, quia iudicium Domino cum habitatoribus terrae: non est enim veritas, et non est benignitas, et non est scientia Dei in terra;	1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel, for the Lord shall enter into judgment with the inhabitants of the land: for there is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God in the land.
2 maledictum et mendacium et homicidium et furtum et adulterium inundaverunt, et sanguis sanguinem tetigit.	2 Cursing, and lying, and killing, and theft, and adultery have overflowed, and blood hath touched blood.
3 Propter hoc lugebit terra, et infirmabitur omnis, qui habitat in ea, cum bestia agri et volucre caeli, sed et pisces maris auferentur.	3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the air: yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be gathered together.
4 Verumtamen non sit qui contendat nec qui arguat, sed tecum iudicium meum, sacerdos.	4 But yet let not any man judge: and let not a man be rebuked: for thy people are as they that contradict the priest.
5 Et corrues plena die, et corruet etiam propheta tecum nocte; et perdam matrem tuam.	5 And thou shalt fall to day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee: in the night I have made thy mother to be silent.
6 Perit populus meus, eo quod non habuerit scientiam. Quia tu scientiam reppulisti, repellam te, ne sacerdotio fungaris mihi; et quia oblitus es legis Dei tui, obliviscar filiorum tuorum et ego.	6 My people have been silent, because they had no knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will reject thee, that thou shalt not do the office of priesthood to me: and thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.
7 Secundum multitudinem eorum, sic peccaverunt mihi; gloriam eorum in ignominiam commutabo.	7 According to the multitude of them so have they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame.
8 Peccatum populi mei comedunt et ad iniquitatem eorum sublevabunt animas eorum.	8 They shall eat the sins of my people, and shall lift up their souls to their iniquity.
9 Et erit sicut populus sic sacerdos; et visitabo super eum vias eius et opera eius reddam ei.	9 And there shall be like people like priest: and I will visit their ways upon them, and I will repay them their devices.
10 Et comedent et non saturabuntur; fornicabuntur et non multiplicabuntur, quoniam Dominum reliquerunt in non custodiendo.	10 And they shall eat and shall not be filled: they have committed fornication, and have not ceased: because they have forsaken the Lord in not observing his law.
11 Fornicatio et vinum et ebrietas auferunt cor.	11 Fornication, and wine, and drunkenness take away the understanding.
12 Populus meus in ligno suo interrogat, et baculus eius annuntiat ei; spiritus enim fornicationum decepit eos, et fornicantur a Deo suo.	12 My people have consulted their stocks, and their staff hath declared unto them: for the spirit of fornication hath deceived them, and they have committed fornication against their God.
13 Super capita montium sacrificant et super colles accendunt thymiama, subtus quercum et populum et terebinthum, quia bona est umbra eius; ideo fornicantur filiae vestrae, et sponsae vestrae adulterae sunt.	13 They offered sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burnt incense upon the hills: under the oak, and the poplar, and the turpentine tree, because the shadow thereof was good: therefore shall your daughters commit fornication, and your spouses shall be adulteresses.
14 Non visitabo super filias vestras, cum fuerint fornicatae, et super sponsas vestras, cum adulteraverint, quoniam hi ipsi cum meretricibus secedunt et cum prostibulis delubrorum sacrificant, et populus non intellegens corruet.	14 I will not visit upon your daughters when they shell commit fornication, and upon your spouses when they shall commit adultery: because themselves conversed with harlots, and offered sacrifice with the effeminate, and the people that doth not understand shall be beaten.
15 Si fornicaris tu, Israel, non delinquat saltem Iuda; et nolite ingredi in Galgala et ne ascenderitis in Bethaven neque iuraveritis: “Vivit Dominus”.	15 If thou play the harlot, O Israel, at least let not Juda offend: and go ye not into Galgal, and come not up into Bethaven, and do not swear: The Lord liveth.
16 Quoniam sicut vacca lasciviens Israel contumax est; nunc pascet eos Dominus quasi agnum in latitudine?	16 For Israel hath gone astray like a wanton heifer: now will the Lord feed them, as a lamb in a spacious place.
17 Particeps idolorum Ephraim, dimitte eum.	17 Ephraim is a partaker with idols, let him alone.
18 Transiit convivium eorum, fornicatione fornicati sunt, diligunt vehementer ignominiam impudicitiae.	18 Their banquet is separated, they have gone astray by fornication: they that should have protected them have loved to bring shame upon them.
19 Ligabit spiritus eos in alis suis, et confundentur a sacrificiis suis.	19 The wind hath bound them up in its wings, and they shall be confounded because of their sacrifices.
