Osea 7

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Cum sanare vellem Israel, revelata est iniquitas Ephraim et malitia Samariae, quia operati sunt mendacium; et fur ingressus est, foris autem spoliat turma latronum.	1 When I would bring about the restoration of my people, when I would heal Israel, The guilt of Ephraim stands out, the wickedness of Samaria; They practice falsehood, thieves break in, bandits plunder abroad.
2 Et non dicunt in cordibus suis omnem malitiam eorum me recordari. Nunc circumdederunt eos opera sua, coram facie mea facta sunt.	2 Yet they do not remind themselves that I remember all their wickedness. Even now their crimes surround them, present to my sight.
3 In malitia sua laetificaverunt regem et in mendaciis suis principes.	3 In their wickedness they regale the king, the princes too, with their deceits.
4 Omnes adulterantes; quasi clibanus succensus illi, pistor cessat excitare ignem a commixtione fermenti, donec fermentetur totum.	4 They are all kindled to wrath like a blazing oven, Whose fire the baker desists from stirring once the dough is kneaded until it has risen.
5 Die regis nostri infirmi facti sunt principes ardore vini, quod apprehendit protervos.	5 On the day of our king, the princes are overcome with the heat of wine. He extends his hand among dissemblers;
6 Quia applicuerunt quasi clibanum cor suum in insidiando; tota nocte dormivit ira eorum, mane ipsa ardet quasi ignis flammae.	6 the plotters approach with hearts like ovens. All the night their anger sleeps; in the morning it flares like a blazing fire.
7 Omnes calefacti sunt quasi clibanus et devorant iudices suos. Omnes reges eorum ceciderunt; non est qui clamet in eis ad me.	7 They are all heated like ovens, and consume their rulers. All their kings have fallen; none of them calls upon me.
8 Ephraim in populis ipse commiscebatur; Ephraim factus est subcinericius panis, qui non reversatur.	8 Ephraim mingles with the nations, Ephraim is a hearth cake unturned.
9 Comederunt alieni robur eius, et ipse nescit; sed et cani effusi sunt in eo, et ipse ignorat.	9 Strangers have sapped his strength, but he takes no notice of it; Of gray hairs, too, there is a sprinkling, but he takes no notice of it.
10 Et testatur superbia Israel in faciem suam, nec reversi sunt ad Dominum Deum suum et non quaesierunt eum in omnibus his.	10 The arrogance of Israel bears witness against him; yet they do not return to the LORD, their God, nor seek him, for all that.
11 Et factus est Ephraim quasi columba insipiens non habens sensum: Aegyptum invocabant, ad Assyrios abierunt.	11 Ephraim is like a dove, silly and senseless; They call upon Egypt, they go to Assyria.
12 Et cum profecti fuerint, expandam super eos rete meum; quasi volucrem caeli detraham eos, corripiam eos secundum auditionem coetuseorum.	12 Even as they go I will spread my net around them, like birds in the air I will bring them down. In an instant I will send them captive from their land.
13 Vae eis, quoniam recesserunt a me! Vastabuntur, quia praevaricati sunt in me. Et ego redimam eos, cum ipsi locuti sint contra me mendacia?	13 Woe to them, they have strayed from me! Ruin to them, they have sinned against me! Though I wished to redeem them, they spoke lies against me.
14 Et non clamaverunt ad me in corde suo, sed ululabant in cubilibus suis; super triticum et vinum se incidebant, contumaces sunt adversum me.	14 They have not cried to me from their hearts when they wailed upon their beds; For wheat and wine they lacerated themselves, while they rebelled against me.
15 Et ego erudivi eos et confortavi brachia eorum, et in me cogitaverunt malitiam.	15 Though I trained and strengthened their arms, yet they devised evil against me.
16 Convertuntur ad eum, qui non prodest, facti sunt quasi arcus dolosus; cadent in gladio principes eorum propter execrationem linguae suae: ista subsannatio eorum in terra Aegypti.	16 They have again become useless, like a treacherous bow. Their princes shall fall by the sword because of the insolence of their tongues; thus they shall be mocked in the land of Egypt.
