Osea 8

NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 In gutture tuo sit tuba! Quasi aquila super domum Do mini pro eo quod transgressi sunt foedus meum et legem meam praevaricati sunt.	1 Put the trumpet to your lips! Like an eagle, disaster is swooping on Yahweh's home! Because they haveviolated my covenant and been unfaithful to my Law,
2 Me invocant: “Deus meus”; cognovimus te, Israel.	2 in vain wil they cry, 'My God!' In vain, 'We, Israel, know you!'
3 Proiecit Israel bonum; inimicus persequetur eum.	3 Israel has rejected the good, the enemy will pursue them.
4 Ipsi constituerunt reges, et non ex me; principes constituerunt, et non cognovi: argentum suum et aurum suum fecerunt sibi idola, ut interirent.	4 They have set up kings, but without my consent, and appointed princes, but without my knowledge.With their silver and gold, they have made themselves idols, but only to be destroyed.
5 Proiectus est vitulus tuus, Samaria; iratus est furor meus in eos. Usquequo non poterunt emundari?	5 I spurn your calf, Samaria! My anger blazes against them! How long wil it be before they recover theirinnocence?
6 Quia ex Israel et ipse est: artifex fecit illum, et non est Deus; quoniam in scintillas erit vitulus Samariae.	6 For it is the product of Israel- a craftsman made the thing, it is no god at al ! The calf of Samaria wil bebroken to pieces!
7 Quia ventum seminabunt et turbinem metent; cum culmus non sit in eo, germen non faciet farinam: quod et si fecerit, alieni comedent eam.	7 Since they sow the wind, they will reap the whirlwind; stalk without ear, it wil never yield flour- or if itdoes, foreigners will swallow it.
8 Devoratus est Israel, nunc factus est in nationibus quasi vas immundum.	8 Israel has himself been swal owed; now they are lost among the nations like something no one wants,
9 Quia ipsi ascenderunt ad Assyriam, onager est solitarius sibi; Ephraim autem munera dederunt amatoribus.	9 for having made approaches to Assyria- like a wild donkey, al alone. Ephraim has rented lovers
10 Sed et cum mercede conduxerint nationes, nunc compellam eos, et trement paulisper sub onere regis principum.	10 and because he has rented them from the nations I am now going to round them up; soon they wilfeel the weight of the king of princes!
11 Cum multiplicaret Ephraim altaria pro peccato, factae sunt ei arae in peccatum.	11 Ephraim keeps building altars for his sins, these very altars are themselves a sin.
12 Scribebam ei multiplices leges meas; velut alienae computatae sunt.	12 However much of my Law I write for him, Ephraim regards it as alien to him.
13 Hostias amant, immolant carnes et comedunt; sed Dominus non suscipiet eas. Nunc recordabitur iniquitatis eorum et visitabit peccata eorum: ipsi in Aegyptum convertentur.	13 They offer sacrifices to me and eat the meat, they do not win Yahweh's favour. On the contrary, he wilremember their guilt and punish their sins; they wil have to go back to Egypt.
14 Et oblitus est Israel factoris sui et aedificavit delubra; et Iudas multiplicavit urbes munitas. Et mittam ignem in civitates eius, et devorabit aedes illius.	14 Israel has forgotten his Maker and has built palaces, while Judah keeps on building fortified towns; butI shal send fire down on his cities to devour their citadels.
