Hosea 11

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 Just as the morning passes, so has the king of Israel passed by. For Israel was a child and I loved him; and out of Egypt I called my son.	1 Cum puer esset Israel, dilexi eum et ex Aegypto vocavi filium meum.
2 They called them, and so they departed before their face. They offered victims to the Baals, and they sacrificed to graven images.	2 Quanto magis vocabam eos, tanto recesserunt a facie mea; ipsi Baalim immolabant et simulacris sacrificabant.
3 And I was like a foster father to Ephraim. I carried them in my arms. And they did not know that I healed them.	3 Et ego dirigebam gressus Ephraim, portabam eos in brachiis meis, et nescierunt quod curarem eos.
4 I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love. And I will be to them like one who raises the yoke over their jaws. And I will reach down to him so that he may eat.	4 In funiculis humanitatis trahebam eos, in vinculis caritatis; et fui eis, quasi qui elevant infantem ad maxillas suas, et declinavi ad eum, ut vesceretur.
5 He will not return to the land of Egypt, but Assur himself will be the king over him, because they were not willing to be converted.	5 Revertetur in terram Aegypti, et Assur ipse rex eius, quoniam noluerunt converti.
6 The sword has begun in his cities, and it will consume his elect and devour their heads.	6 Saeviet gladius in civitatibus eius et consumet garrulos eius et comedet eos propter consilia eorum.
7 And my people will long for my return. But a yoke will be imposed on them together, which will not be taken away.	7 Populus meus pendet ad praevaricandum contra me; vocant eum ad altum, sed simul non erigunt eum.
8 How will I provide for you, Ephraim; how will I protect you, Israel? How will I provide for you as for Adam; will I set you like Zeboiim? My heart has changed within me; together with my regret, it has been stirred up.	8 Quomodo dabo te, Ephraim, tradam te, Israel? Quomodo dabo te sicut Adama, ponam te ut Seboim? Convertitur in me cor meum, simul exardescit miseratio mea.
9 I will not act on the fury of my wrath. I will not turn back to utterly destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, the Divine in your midst, and I will not advance upon the city.	9 Non faciam furorem irae meae, non convertar, ut disperdam Ephraim, quoniam Deus ego et non homo, in medio tui Sanctus et non veniam in terrore.
10 They will walk after the Lord; he will roar like a lion. For he himself will roar, and the sons of the sea will dread.	10 Post Dominum ambulabunt; quasi leo rugiet, quia ipse rugiet, et in tremore accurrent filii ab occidente.
11 And they will fly like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove from the land of the Assyrians. And I will arrange them in their own houses, says the Lord.	11 Et avolabunt quasi avis ex Aegypto et quasi columba de terra Assyriae; et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.
12 Ephraim has besieged me with denials, and the house of Israel with deceit. But Judah went down as a witness before God and the holy ones of faith.
