Osee 11

VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Sicut mane transiit, pertransiit rex Israël. Quia puer Israël, et dilexi eum ; et ex Ægypto vocavi filium meum.	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.
2 Vocaverunt eos, sic abierunt a facie eorum ; Baalim immolabant, et simulacris sacrificabant.	2 They called them, and so they departed before their face. They offered victims to the Baals, and they sacrificed to graven images.
3 Et ego quasi nutritius Ephraim : portabam eos in brachiis meis, et nescierunt quod curarem eos.	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.
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 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.
5 Non revertetur in terram Ægypti, et Assur ipse rex ejus, quoniam noluerunt converti.	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.
6 Cœpit gladius in civitatibus ejus, et consumet electos ejus, et comedet capita eorum.	6 The sword has begun in his cities, and it will consume his elect and devour their heads.
7 Et populus meus pendebit ad reditum meum ; jugum autem imponetur eis simul, quod non auferetur.	7 And my people will long for my return. But a yoke will be imposed on them together, which will not be taken away.
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 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.
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 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.
10 Post Dominum ambulabunt ; quasi leo rugiet, quia ipse rugiet, et formidabunt filii maris.	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.
11 Et avolabunt quasi avis ex Ægypto, et quasi columba de terra Assyriorum : et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.	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.
12 Circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim, et in dolo domus Israël ; Judas autem testis descendit cum Deo, et cum sanctis fidelis.	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.
