Osea 9

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Noli laetari, Israel; noli exsultare sicut populi, quia fornicatus es a Deo tuo, dilexisti mercedem super omnes areas tritici.	1 Rejoice not, O Israel, exult not like the nations! For you have been unfaithful to your God, loving a harlot's hire upon every threshing floor.
2 Area et torcular non pascet eos, et vinum mentietur eis.	2 Threshing floor and wine press shall not nourish them, the new wine shall fail them.
3 Non manebunt in terra Domini: revertetur Ephraim in Aegyptum, et in Assyria pollutum comedent.	3 They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and in Assyria they shall eat unclean food.
4 Non libabunt Domino vinum, et non placebunt ei sacrificia eorum; quasi panis lugentium erunt eis: omnes, qui comedent eum, contaminabuntur, quia panis eorum erit tantummodo pro vita ipsorum; non intrabit in domum Domini.	4 They shall not pour libations of wine to the LORD, or proffer their sacrifices before him. Theirs will be like mourners' bread, that makes unclean all who eat of it; Such food as they have shall be for themselves; it cannot enter the house of the LORD.
5 Quid facietis in die sollemni, in die festivitatis Domini?	5 What will you do on the festival day, the day of the LORD'S feast?
6 Ecce enim profecti sunt a vastitate; Aegyptus congregabit eos, Memphis sepeliet eos: desiderabile argentum eorum urtica hereditabit, spina in tabernaculis eorum.	6 When they go from the ruins, Egypt shall gather them in, Memphis shall bury them. Weeds shall overgrow their silver treasures, and thorns invade their tents.
7 Venerunt dies visitationis, venerunt dies retributionis: sciat Israel! “Stultus — clamet — est propheta; insanus vir spiritalis”. Secundum multitudinem iniquitatis tuae multae sunt inimicitiae tuae.	7 They have come, the days of punishment! they have come, the days of recompense! Let Israel know it! "The prophet is a fool, the man of the spirit is mad!" Because your iniquity is great, great, too, is your hostility.
8 Speculatur Ephraim, populus Dei mei, prophetam; laqueus aucupis super omnes vias eius, inimicitiae in ipsa domo Dei eius.	8 A prophet is Ephraim's watchman with God, yet a fowler's snare is on all his ways, hostility in the house of his God.
9 Profunde peccaverunt sicut in diebus Gabaa; recordabitur iniquitatis eorum et visitabit peccata eorum.	9 They have sunk to the depths of corruption, as in the days of Gibeah; He shall remember their iniquity and punish their sins.
10 Quasi uvas in deserto inveni Israel, quasi prima poma ficulneae in initio eius vidi patres vestros; ipsi autem intraverunt ad Baalphegor et se consecraverunt Confusioni et facti sunt abominabiles sicut id, quod dilexerunt.	10 Like grapes in the desert, I found Israel; Like the first fruits of the fig tree in its prime, I considered your fathers. When they came to Baal-peor and consecrated themselves to the Shame, they became as abhorrent as the thing they loved.
11 Ephraim quasi avis avolabit gloria eorum, a partu et ab utero et a conceptu.	11 The glory of Ephraim flies away like a bird: no birth, no carrying in the womb, no conception. Were they to bear children, I would slay the darlings of their womb.
12 Quod si et enutrierint filios suos, absque liberis eos faciam, absque hominibus; sed et vae eis, cum recessero ab eis!	12 Even though they bring up their children, I will make them childless, till not one is left. Woe to them when I turn away from them!
13 Ephraim, ut vidi, in venationem posuit sibi filios suos, et Ephraim educit ad interfectorem filios suos.	13 Ephraim, as I saw, was like Tyre, planted in a beauteous spot; But Ephraim shall bring out his children to the slayer.
14 “Da eis, Domine! Quid dabis eis? Da eis vulvam sine liberis et ubera arentia!”.	14 Give them, O LORD! give them what? Give them an unfruitful womb, and dry breasts!
15 Omnes nequitiae eorum in Galgala, profecto ibi exosos habui eos. Propter malitiam operum eorum de domo mea eiciam eos. Non addam ut diligam eos; omnes principes eorum rebelles.	15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal; yes, there they incurred my hatred. Because of their wicked deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no longer; all their princes are rebels.
16 Percussus est Ephraim, radix eorum exsiccata est, fructum nequaquam facient; quod si et genuerint, interficiam amantissima uteri eorum ”.	16 Ephraim is stricken, their root is dried up; they shall bear no fruit.
17 Abiciet eos Deus meus, quia non audierunt eum; et erunt vagi in nationibus.	17 My God will disown them because they have not listened to him; they shall be wanderers among the nations.
