Osee 11

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Sicut mane transiit, pertransiit rex Israël. Quia puer Israël, et dilexi eum ; et ex Ægypto vocavi filium meum.	1 When Israel was a child I loved him, out of Egypt I called my son.
2 Vocaverunt eos, sic abierunt a facie eorum ; Baalim immolabant, et simulacris sacrificabant.	2 The more I called them, the farther they went from me, Sacrificing to the Baals and burning incense to idols.
3 Et ego quasi nutritius Ephraim : portabam eos in brachiis meis, et nescierunt quod curarem eos.	3 Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk, who took them in my arms;
4 In funiculis Adam traham eos, in vinculis caritatis ; et ero eis quasi exaltans jugum super maxillas eorum, et declinavi ad eum ut vesceretur.	4 I drew them with human cords, with bands of love; I fostered them like one who raises an infant to his cheeks; Yet, though I stooped to feed my child, they did not know that I was their healer.
5 Non revertetur in terram Ægypti, et Assur ipse rex ejus, quoniam noluerunt converti.	5 He shall return to the land of Egypt, and Assyria shall be his king;
6 Cœpit gladius in civitatibus ejus, et consumet electos ejus, et comedet capita eorum.	6 The sword shall begin with his cities and end by consuming his solitudes. Because they refused to repent, their own counsels shall devour them.
7 Et populus meus pendebit ad reditum meum ; jugum autem imponetur eis simul, quod non auferetur.	7 His people are in suspense about returning to him; and God, though in unison they cry out to him, shall not raise them up.
8 Quomodo dabo te, Ephraim ? protegam te, Israël ? Quomodo dabo te sicut Adama, ponam te ut Seboim ? Conversum est in me cor meum, pariter conturbata est pœnitudo mea.	8 How could I give you up, O Ephraim, or deliver you up, O Israel? How could I treat you as Admah, or make you like Zeboiim? My heart is overwhelmed, my pity is stirred.
9 Non faciam furorem iræ meæ ; non convertar ut disperdam Ephraim, quoniam Deus ego, et non homo ; in medio tui sanctus, et non ingrediar civitatem.	9 I will not give vent to my blazing anger, I will not destroy Ephraim again; For I am God and not man, the Holy One present among you; I will not let the flames consume you.
10 Post Dominum ambulabunt ; quasi leo rugiet, quia ipse rugiet, et formidabunt filii maris.	10 They shall follow the LORD, who roars like a lion; When he roars, his sons shall come frightened from the west,
11 Et avolabunt quasi avis ex Ægypto, et quasi columba de terra Assyriorum : et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.	11 Out of Egypt they shall come trembling, like sparrows, from the land of Assyria, like doves; And I will resettle them in their homes, says the LORD.
12 Circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim, et in dolo domus Israël ; Judas autem testis descendit cum Deo, et cum sanctis fidelis.
